Haha I'm 16... I don't know I kind of rushed and got into shit left and right.

And yes I was partly exagerrating.
But its bee a while since something hit me quite like the first Ramones or stooges album did .

Wait I take it back, Tha Carter III got my attention pretty heavily.
Just mark that as a stuipd post on my part.

But really I haven't found something I related to quite like those two above mentioned albums in a long time.

I loved the way they kind of summed up how I felt wihtout having to read me their journal entries.
I mean to me Iggy summed up more by yelling I wanna be your dog than Dashboard confessional ever could with their winding mellodramatic epics.

Trash palaces? junkyards? What was wrong with holding hands at the Mecca ballroom?

Works for me!:o

Bauhaus-singles 1979-83

I'm too goth for my own good.:(

Ramones - Hey Ho! Let's Go! The Anthology
2005 - I was 13, I heard My Brain is Hanging Upside Down (Bonzo Goes to Bitburg) on The School of Rock soundtrack. Everything I now listen to is due to this album, except for The Smiths, who were played on the radio (and they got me into some indie stuff).

Yep, same, but I was 9.

Husker Du's Zen Aracde

Honestly, when I was 12 (this was, of course, before American Idiot came out) I was really into old school Green Day. And THROUGH THAT I started listening to Nirvana, Hole, Bikini Kill, and eventually Sonic Youth. Like, when I was 13 I was really into Riot Grrl. So, I mean, I think that kind of counts. Kind of.

but the school of rock soundtrack part is teh same.

Fucking hell. This board makes me feel old sometimes, and I'm really not.

I could list a lot of albums, but I'll just to stick to saying Ænima and OK Computer. They were the first two albums I really got into by myself (i.e.: I wasn't getting a Pink Floyd cassette from my uncle or something), and even though I immensely dislike Ænima these days, both of those albums were huge gateways for me.

This was my first vinyl purchase for a couple of reasons. 1) It has such a cool cover. 2) Remember someone at church talking about AC/DC being evil. 3) The track - "Hell Ain't A Bad Place To Be"......really wanted to hear that. 4) Spent a week with the grandparents who lived in Livingston. They took me to my first Wal-Mart where this was purchased. Grandmother gave me some money for shopping and this is what I picked.

Later that same summer, I went back for another stay with the grandparents. Mrs. Lily (old lady who lived next door to my grandparents) paid me $5 to wash her car and burn some trash in a barrel she had in the back yard (would have burnt the trash for free). Went back to Wal-Mart with my $5 in hand (grandmother made up the difference) and purchased this:

Not too long after this, I remember reading an article in Hit Parade magazine about Motley Crue. There was a picture of the group and there was a pentagram in the background with rising smoke and a few skulls laying around. Rode my ten speed bike to the mall one summer day and sought out, 'Too Fast For Love' on cassette. On this trip, I also picked up Slayer's: 'Show No Mercy' on cassette and a Metal Blade Records comp on vinyl.

My first used record purchase (on vinyl) was Pink Floyd's, 'Ummagumma' (had picked up a few used Kiss eight-tracks before this). 'Dark Side Of The Moon' and 'Moving Pictures' by Rush were my first purchases on CD. Genesis - 'Genesis' and "Selling England By The Pound' quickly followed.

A few years later, I had a job working at the food court in the mall. This one guy I worked with went to visit his cousin in Dallas one weekend and came back with two cassette tapes that we rocked every night while closing: 'Appetite For Destruction' and Nitzer Ebb's, 'That Total Age.'

The sounds of Nitzer Ebb led to:

I purchased Current 93's, 'Dogs Blood Rising' the same day I got 'Tired Eye Slowly Burning' and I've been hooked on the avant noise ever since.

yr one rocking motherfucker man!
