I think I bought Avril Lavigne's first CD when I was twelve. Earlier I'd listened to Spice Girls, Aqua (age 5-7), boy bands l(N'sync, The Backstreet Boys) Ricky Martin and Britney Spears (age 8-11). Fortunately, when I was 14-15 I discovered classic bands like Nirvana, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and some newer ones as well (Placebo, Muse, Arctic Monkeys).
My maths teacher decided to show us The Wall one lesson in 10th grade - it blew my mind and inspired me to explore the rest of the Pink Floyd discography. (The rest of my class hated the film (especially the girls) and said things like "This is crap, can't we watch High School Musical instead?". I remember it being annoying, but it was still an awesome experience.)
