I have a mate who has recommended lot's of great hip-hop acts over the years, including MF Doom, Edan, El-P, Kool Keith and loads others.
If i call my Dad a 'friend', he got me into punk at an early age with groups like Slaughter and the Dogs, Crass, Wire, Buzzcocks etc. This pretty much changed my life.

My friends have practically shaped my music taste single-handedly.

Nearly.

HaydenAsche · 07.24.2007, 01:19 PM

Nothing.

HaydenAsche · 07.24.2007, 01:20 PM

against me isn't shit.

Well it was actually this board that turned me on to The Fall. My pal Morgan has turned me on to most industrial stuff like Skinny Puppy/Download. I think his biggest contribution to my musical journey has been Negativland. Oh and Kool Keith. This really hot chick I know let me stay with her a few days. She turned me on to Wolfmother. I was RABID about them for a few weeks, now I can barely put the CD in. Kinda like empty calories, that band.

Kallisti23chaos · 07.30.2007, 05:10 PM

Mr.Clone turned me on to Spacemen 3, Acid Mothers Temple, Throbbing Gristle,Ghost,Loop, among many more.

pbradley · 07.30.2007, 06:07 PM

I remember turning my friend on to Portishead.
