Your age and the song that REALLY hooked you onto music? (listening to music, fan)

Kind of cool to know that I'm not the only one on here that was drawn in by the Chili Peppers haha.

hmm...5 years old (rough guess), the first band P.O.D. I think I have every album, single and compilation they put out since 1992 haha.

I was 8 or 9 when I listened to "6th Avenue Heartache" by The Wallflowers. And a year or two later my neighbor gave me Bringing Down The Horse.

Jeeeez... what got me INTO music... it's a little embarassing what you come up with - what you liked when you were a kid. This could really be a multi-answer question... depending on what kind of hooked we're talking about. Here are a few moments of my personal music history...

Highway To The Danger Zone - Kenny Loggins
I loved Top Gun when I was a kid. This was the big song in Top Gun.... I used to sit next to my TV while it was playing and hold my Talk Boy up to the speakers to record this song. I'd listen to it at a childcare thing we had called Latchkey before school started.

Brain Stew - Green Day/Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen
The song that got me into what I'd consider... my "beginning to explore" phase. Also the first time where I sat around with friends and listened to music. We all had bootleg copies of "Insomniac" the Green Day album that contained this song. With these same friends, we also rented Wayne's World and really started to get into Bohemian Rhapsody.

We Are the Champions - Queen
I was a kid when Mighty Ducks 2 came out - and all of the actors who I adored in the movie broke out into this song at the end of the movie around a campfire... then you hear Freddie take over as the credits roll. Beautiful.

Goddamnit - Alkaline Trio
Yes, this is an album... but... it is what got me out of mainstream **** that I had gotten sucked into (Limp Bizkit, Korn, Linkin Park) when I was in 6th grade.

Yeah one of mine was Give It Away.
Apart from all the pop i listened to when i was 8 to 11 Gorillaz - Clint Eastwood was a big song for me, i played it over and over.

Same here. I mean my dad was a country musician and so I had often been to see his gigs so I was usually surrounded by music. And I used to listen to the poppier Beatles material, the Eagles, CCR, the Doobie Brothers etc.

But I only truly latched onto music when I was about 14 or 15 when a mate copied Blood Sugar Sex Magik for me.

I remember listening to an Elvis greatest hits album for a whole night when I was about 6

so did anyone else here catch flak from their peers for liking the chili peppers before the tv validated them as being 'cool'? i had a few people call me bad f words due to wearing a t-shirt with 4 topless dudes on it back in high school only to turn around and tell me how awesome the chilis were a few years later.

(it's kind of hard to tell but i'm also wearing a BSSM t-shirt in my avatar too hehe)
