I'm shocked, shocked I tell you, that I person with the username GeddyBass2112 would site Rush as such a major influence.

Been thinking about this. I never understood music that wasn't uptempo and happy.
Until I heard Kansas' Dust in the Wind when I was twelve or thirteen.
I think that actually made the difference for me.

I got into music ever since I was a kid. Forgot what music was that. But the genre is folk and soft rock.

^^
That was awesome, me too!

On topic, Tool's Lateralus very much do definitively started my journey in motion. I'm glad they are great enough that I don't mind going back to them, just a lot less than I figured I would.

When I was in the 8th grade I discovered Rob Zombie's Hellbilly Deluxe, now that's an embarrassing introduction to the wonders of music if there ever was one. I would listen the entire CD on the way to school and on the way back and when I got home I would watch the Dragula music video endlessly on his website. I finally discovered his other records and played them around the clock for a whole year before finally discovering other things, namely Metallica and Rammstein.

Hey, a little Rob Zombie is nothing to be embarrassed about. Now Rammstein, on the other hand...

Haha, hey Rammstein had a decent debut album if nothing else. I suppose I'd rather jig along with a Rob Zombie song then most of today's mainstream rock, but I think for the most part I've grown tired of his solo work (I mean I did listen to nothing but him for a year straight). I'm still digging White Zombie though, especially pre-La Sexorcisto.
