Do you remember the first time? (hip-hop, indie, metal, punk)

Guns n Roses did it for me...
I have two older brothers who worshiped them back then, and actually still do. I was only 10 in 1994 but you could say I was the only GnR fan in my class.
However the first cd I ever bought was the single for Always by Bon Jovi...I'm not really in to ol-Jon but I still think is a very good song, and a fine cd to own when you think about it because not many people have it.
So it's Guns and Bon Jovi

the band that probably really got me into music might be sum 41, i cant remember
but yeah i was obsessed with them for a bit
this was the band that got me out of the bsb, spice girls & nsync stage so thats gotta count for something
listen to them every once in a while
dont really like them as much anymore

Absolutely - actually the past year I've been the most invested in finding new music, but from the late 70's & 80's.

Easily the Gorillaz.
Feel Good Inc.'s chorus, specifically.

as crazy as it may sound, it was The Beatles when I was like 8. I became obbsessed with them...which leads us to now

I think that is what did it for me was New Found Glory's self titled album. I thought I was so punk listening to them back in middle school. I thought I had to prove my punkness to everyone. So people would ask what is your favorite punk band I would be like NFG and they would laugh. So I made it my misson to find 'real' punk bands and explore music.

I actually just dl'ed the album i loved in middle school so much like 2 months ago. I listen to it when I want to feel childish now and again. Tis fun lol.

I guess what got me beyond 'what my parents like'(Even though my dad is into Irish folk music and my mom into Israeli Hip-Hop) was Aesop Rock. He was my first non-classic artist. Sad as it is.

Aesop Rock is a genius and one of the few reasons I still listen to hip-hop.
