What age did you really find out that you loved music?
 

I probably found out at age seven.

Last week.

I came out of the womb singing and dancing.

The doctors were shocked, man. One of them was like "somebody get this baby a top hat!"

:rofl:

I don't. hate that music stuff. Prefer talk radio.

Whatever year it was when Billy Ray Cyrus came out..........

Probably 8, I'm 8 and a half now

He should have been. Could have avoided the stylishly eccentric vocals of his offspring had that been the case.

84

It's a pretty ambiguous question though as getting into music was a gradual thing for me rather than an overnight thing. I didn't just wake up one morning and realise "holy fuck I love music!" Hell I might even love music even more in twenty years time or so.

That's what she said.

Everyday I say tomorrow is gonna be the day I sit down and listen to the musics.

Give me an incomplete for this class.

age 8. yes. rush.

1.5 years old.

probably the day i sat down and listened to OK Computer for the first time.

My life hasn't been the same since.

At what age did you discover Narnia?

I would say when I was 15 years old. That is when I really starting like music alot. I was pratically into Franco and Pepe Kalle music very much.

These two songs I would sing them far too much.

Probably around 5 or 6. Can't really say...

around 1, I guess

rocking in the cradle to Tommy James & The Shondells' Mony Mony

that was the first song I heard, I think

3.14 is my guess. Seriously, I don't really know, but for some reason, I'm trying to find out when I first heard The Beatles (my first serious music interest) and what song. Possibly "Hey Jude." Maybe I got in to the Banana Splits, maybe The Monkees first.

Looking back, I did read some notes from my Mother that mentoned that I got into the commercials on TV as a child. Kind of a Short Attention Span then I guess, but that was a hint.

It's okay, OK Computer changed my life too. Don't let these MB snobs detract you from thinking that's not a good album, cause it is. It's brilliant.

Actually I think Ok Computer is a good album to start with. Better than NSYNC...

No comments please.

It's hard to fathom that there was ever a time in your life that you were not pratically into Franco and Pepe Kalle music very much. You pratically burned those two names into the mind of every MB member.

I was probably 7 or 8, I started watching music videos, reading magazine and newspaper ads for CDs, reading music reviews and stuff like that. Then when I was 11 I got the Rock n' Roll Encyclopedia and read it so much that it fell apart and I had to get another one...

When I heard the Beegees greatest hits.

I'm thinking that I was somewhere around 14 or 15. It's strange. I just got into high school and saw that everyone else loved music, and I had a friend who kind of liked Metallica, and so I turned on my alarm clock's radio and rolled around the dial and found a rock station and low and behold a song came on and I thought in my mind that this is Metallica, or might be, and it was indeed: King Nothing from Load. I bought a CD player, I bought a 1st album on CD, Load, and it went on from there...

Is that strange, or is it just me?

Exactly when I was 1.234567 years old..

Probably when I first got Spotify around four years ago. Then when I made my last.fm account a year later. I began to bookmark albums I wanted to listen to, do more research into artists and look up reviews.

The problem with using Spotify and rapidly going through albums without really digesting them (other than specific ones I particularly loved) I never truly gained an appreciation for what I was listening to.

I then decided to ditch Spotify in favor of just downloading music (which currently stands at 400GB on my external hard drive) which has helped me a lot in terms of finding artists that I truly appreciate.

Obviously I had loved music before this, but I had not been one to explore, quite content with my digest of XFM (indie rock radio station), mainstream Hop Hop and a few classics.

My parents are musicians and audiophiles, so I'm pretty sure that I was digging music from the womb.

12, when I began watching MTV.

what a torture that musta been

That's pretty much exactly my story as well. Same age, same band too. But I bought Load, Reload, and Master of Puppets at the same time. Of course, I consider when I bought the book, Sound of the Beast, and just used that as a blueprint for listening to metal and downloading music pretty much all day every day to be the time I truly got into music. Before that was just the prologue.

I listened to music quite a bit when I was younger to pass the time when walking to and from school. My mom always listened to music around me, so I guess I was listening from a fairly young age. However, I didn't really get into music until I was like...18 when a friend introduced me to Simon & Garfunkel and I heard all of their core studio albums. Everything before that was movie soundtracks, video game soundtracks, and only a few odd artist albums here and there. I bloomed late, I suppose, so I have to make up for lost time!

There were at least a couple of shows through the years: 120 Minutes, Headbanger's Ball. There even used to be a show after 120 for a short while that showed world-wide Pop videos. Hell, that's where I first heard Seal WAY before "Crazy" was a hit (as well as Kylie's "Better the Devil You Know" for what was possibly their only time playing it...a guilty pleasure).

There used to be more than just the small playlist of garbage a long time back. I even remember when IRS had an "alternative" show in the early days.

OK...so I'm being a bit a bit of hope that the discovery was beyond the usual playlists, but...

the only remotely interesting thing they ever played while I was watching it was Can's Hallehluwah and Dylan's Subterranean Homesick Blues

and I only saw both that one time

When I was like 7.

Very musical family.

It's so foreign to me that someone could have an age when they realized they realized loved music. I feel like it's just always been a part of me. I guess that's probably because my dad is as much of a music fanatic as I turned out to be, but it's really hard for me to imagine having some kind of conscious realization about my love for music.

that rings true for me also

i've always had 60s pop-rock played in the house since birth

I didn't really start getting into GOOD music and wanting to start a collection until around middle school (maybe age 13-ish or so).

In terms of getting into what I think is good music, and meaning something to me and my life, I'd say 15. I used to a lot of crap before, except for AC/DC and Queen as a little kid.

There was a lot of 60's music in my house too. I remember in gradeschool (6th grade) my friend asked me if I like music. I said 'yeah I listen to the Oldies station' He said "No bands like Pink Floyd... have you heard of Pink Floyd?" And he went on and one about them. So Pink FLoyd was my first recommendation at around the age of 11. But I always was into music as far back as I can remember.
