Do you remember the first time? (soundtrack, rock, albums, Linkin Park)

OK I am speaking metaphorically but what was the first band that really got you into music? Not a stolen snippet from your dad's collection or a radio hit that charmed you but the first band that dragged you kicking and screaming into the world of music? Do you still like them? Are you embarrassed by them? Do you still hold a torch for them?

IRON MAIDEN. 1986

My parents had just split up and through a friend I heard LIVE AFTER DEATH. Of course there was plenty of anger and disillusionment inside of me and other bands may have been more iintense around that time, but I did'nt know that. As soon as I heard Maiden it answered questions for me. It became my emotional crutch and began a journey of self discovery that is still (hopefully) only half way through.

Iron Maiden, for better or worse brought me here. I still drag LIVE AFTER DEATH out once in a while and revel in those memories.

So c'mon people. Who is it for you?

I think it was probably either Symphony X or Pain of Salvation.

I dont ever listen to either anymore but im not embarrassed. Pain of Salvation is amazing.

I think it might've been System of a Down. Don't really like them that much anymore, but do still have a bit of a soft spot. Listen to their first two albums every once in a while.

Red Hot Chili peppers got me into music

NoFX. I worshiped them for a good portion of my life.

Korn, follow the leader was my soundtrack from about 8 years old until I realised what I was doing with myself at about 11. Freak on a leash and got the life are still firm favourites when it comes to nostalgic childhood songs.
