What type of sound are you looking for?
If we can ask one or two questions from you:
How old are you? and what do your parents listen to?
If you like anything your parents listen to it would be an awesome way to find out what type of sound you like.
And of course we can all send some "further information" by Private Messages
make good use of this thread:
http://www.musicbanter.com/general-m...st-wanted.html and just circle around the forums and people will make threads about their favourite bands will be more than happy to send you whatever you need.
If you ever want to expand into prog check out me or boo boo we know our stuff when it comes to certain parts, but I'm far more into the obscure nowadays to give advice on the big bands. (haha I've forgotten which Yes albums are my favourite)
