What Band Got You Hooked?

Nirvana's Bleach introduced me but then The Stooges' Funhouse and Raw Power really got me into punk and The Sex Pistols' Bollocks. Then after that came The Jesus Lizard, Mudoney, Green River, Tad, Glazed Baby, Pissed Jeans and so on and so on. All great bands in my opinion.(Check em out if you don't know em)

Your list of bands is pretty great, we listen to a lot of the same grunge and noise. I love Pissed Jeans, I love The Jesus Lizard, I love Mudhoney and I wanna get into Green River really bad.
I remember when I thought Nirvana's Bleach was the hardest, edgiest music on earth. Ah, innocence and ignorance. Both of those things are gone.

When I was probably around 7 or 8 years old, I got obsessed with the "punk" that I thought Green Day was. Everyone got tired of my only listening to Green Day so, finally, on a road trip, my mom's friend was like, "Here, wanna hear some real punk?" and played me The Ramones. When I got home, I bought their first album and loved it.

After a few years of listening to The Ramones, my dad bought The Clash's London Calling at a yard sale and I listened to it alot.

Now, some of my favorite punk bands include:

The Clash
The Ramones
Stiff Little Fingers
Dead Kennedys
The Dead Milkmen

Yeah I see. I had found a green river torrent. I'd send it to you but I forgot the link but I'll look around for you. Yeah Pissed Jeans is great they're pretty funny too. The Jesus Lizard is about my 3rd favorite too. My first is Nirvana. I know very cliche but **** it they're amazing to me. And Bleach is pretty heavy but not as heavy as TAD or Glazed Baby in any way.

I think I heard Skid Row's cover of "Psycho Therapy" and that sort of started it, I don't really remember.

When I was 13 I heard Holiday in Cambodia by Dead Kennedys and was blown away. I got into a lot of old school hardcore and post-punk at the time too. Never Mind the Bollocks was the first punk album I had bought. Over the course of one year I evolved from your typical pseudo-metalhead to an entry-level punk fan. I got into Crass, Joy Division, Minor Threat and Bauhaus as well. Three years later I still enjoy these bands, but my taste in music has also expanded and modernized.

D.R.I. sometime around 1987-1988 when I bought the Dirty Rotten LP.
After that it was all about them Dead Kennedys,7 Seconds,Poison Idea,Misfits and such before I started to learn about the swedish and other european scenes.
I am still heavily into the style they call fastcore or whatever it is.

The Misfits, shocker.

The first punk song I ever really remember listening to was The Angelic Upstart's "I'm An Upstart". I was in my cool older sister's apartment on her massive itunes library, and I was like 10.
I'm glad I was turned on to punk by a legit 70's British punk band. No offense to all those Offspring/Blink-182 folks out there, but this stuff is the REAL deal.
On the downside, it did take me a long time to start listening to anything post-1980 with an open mind xD.
