Do you remember the first time? (country, funk, rock, cd)

Jeff Buckley

he made me want to discover new, exciting music every minute of every day

Kiss Alive II. It was 1977 and I was 5 years old. I hardly ever listen to Kiss anymore, just once every few years when I'm reminiscing about my childhood.

appetite for destruction- gnr...

i was listening to rap music back in like 5th grade just because i thought it was cool not really thoroughly enjoying the music.. then my friend handed me a cd... and that one cd saved my life... okay not really but it got me into actual music

Late 70s (1979) 2 tone / ska was the first time it all started to click. I was aware of punk happening but was too young to see the attraction. The stand out album of that period for me was Searching For The Young Soul Rebels by Dexys Midnight Runners in 1980. I played it constantly for a year before discovering the delights of Depeche Mode and Speak & Spell. I'm not ashamed of either of these bands and still occasionally dip in for a nostalgia trip.

Hmmm, this is a toughy. Most of my early music experiences were a direct result of my sister's musical choices. Hence Green Day, Offspring when I was 12, Nirvana and Soundgarden when I was 13, The Doors and Stone Temple Pilots when I was 14-15...but I guess none of those bands, even though I still love all of them, compare to the first time I heard Rage against the machine...I was about 16, a friend of mine told me to give them a shot, so I downloaded Fuck the police Live...I went absolutely nuts. That was my first independent musical outing (my sister still hasn't gotten into them despite my efforts)...and from then on I was hooked on discovering new music on my own...naturally, I still state them as one of my favorite bands ever...

I would have to say it was Pearl Jam and the Beastie Boys in 1996.

Everyone knows mine I think, well, all the people who were here early 2005. It's Tool for me, and I remember being quite nerdy about it too, thinking they were the be all and end all of rock, with the creative lyrics and original song formats and all that jazz. I slowly forgot about them as I sort of became more interested in other things, but I still like them and think they are a great band. Though I only pull them out every once in a while these days.

Linkin Park! yh they got me started!!

I'll never forget the first time I heard Black Sabbath. I was twelve years old, playing records while house-sitting for my uncle. From the moment I heard the harmonica on "The Wizard", I was hooked... It's still my favorite song!

For me it was probably The Spice Girls. I'm so ashamed to admit that, but sadly it's true. Definitely not into them any more though. Urgh.
