I discovered early Genesis and King Crimson the same way.

I was born in 1997, and had my first musical exposure thanks to my father's massive CD collection. Early on, some of my favorites consisted of Nirvana, AC/DC, Def Leppard, artists of that sort. Until about 2005 or so at least, when I started getting into artists on my own. I started listening to a lot of stuff that I had considered to be "different" at the time, like Linkin Park, Billy Talent, and even Limp Bitzkit (yeah, I was one of those kids) for awhile. Eventually, I got out of that phase thanks to the release of Kanye West's Graduation, which led me on a pretty long hip-hop phase where I listened to every rap album I could get my hands on.

Through hip-hop, in large part due to it's dependence on the internet now because of mixtape downloads and things like that, I learned how easy it was to find music and began discovering new genres. I discovered a love for a lot of metal music, some good some not so much, (I still listen to Slipknot, oh well,) emo, indie folk, and tons of other awesome stuff. Some of my favorite musicians now are Sufjan Stevens, Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar, Death Grips, Killer Mike, El-P, Mastadon, Dillinger Escape Plan, and Radiohead.

I still have quite a few bands that I discovered when I was younger that I still listen to, despite being dubbed ****ty mainstream stuff by lots of people, bands like Killswitch Engage, Billy Talent, RHCP, Deftones, and stuff like that.

That's awesome, was just talking about Shawn with a friend of mine - what a great guitarist who has been a big influence and inspiration on my playing - truly sad he passed-away as young as he did.
