This is interesting...as much as I love Radiohead, they definitely would not have been the band to get me into music. I had to have some appreciation before I could really understand what they were getting at.

I dunno...maybe if it was The Bends.

I'm trying to think of the precursors to them. I recall The Black Dahlia Murder, who pushed me into the extreme forms of metal, The Preachers for electronic stuff, The Tallest Man on Earth for folk, Richard Skelton for modern classical, and... that's all I can remember.

System Of A Down and Meat Loaf got me into rock music and with todays music, I thank god for that everyday.

really A band has never been a person. In a band, whose members have similar musical influence is very important. This will create a sense of unity among members stronger, and ultimately reflected in their music.

Aw, you really should connect with their music again, especially now that they reunited.

Bill Haley, the Beach Boys and the Drifters. Those were my first three cd's and it was history from there. Funny because now I play hard rock/metal and country!

The Police of all bands was the first band I ever went out of my way to sit down and listen to. I remember I was sitting on my bunk bed with a boom box and headphones with their greatest hits. A few years later heard the Yeah Yeah Yeahs when I just turning a teenager in my brothers car. I would say that was definitely what sparked my interest in music more than anything. I had such an immediate obsession and fascination with them. It felt like it was music that I wish I made. I don't know why but I was scared to voice how much I loved them and it was a while before I heard the album again.

Looking back I really created a prison for myself often. Like at that time I really badly wanted a guitar but I was really really isolated and never would talk to my parents. If I would have asked they would have got me one but I could never work up the courage to do it. I even tried making anything with just fish lining and boxes/nails because I wanted one so bad hahaha. It drove me crazy when my brother got a guitar that Christmas and he didn't even ask for one. I didn't really voice that I was particularly upset but I was dying inside.
