ac/dc and black sabbath got me into rock

It was Nirvana's Nevermind and I would have been about twelve.

simply red. don't laugh

The All American Rejects, I still think their first album is great. **** off.

I listened to them during late 1981'. One of the first Japanese metal bands.

Okay, I'm showing my age here but, the first record I bought with my own money (I was 7) was the single "Time of the Season" by The Zombies back in 1968! I think it paved the way for the exquisite taste I stil have to this day! lol

Kiss and Elvis aged 4 or 5.
I was 5 when I bought Rock And Roll Over.

My mother would always play early R.E.M., U2, Allison Krauss, and the Clash when I was very small. My first CD I bought of my own accord was American Idiot by Green Day, it was the greatest thing ever and you couldn't tell me any different. Then I got into grunge, somehow found about System of a Down, and that's what got me into metal.

The first band I got Ito BY MYSELF, without influence from my parents, was Metallica. Age 14ish, I suppose.

Id been listening to a ton before that, but it was all my parents stuff. Not my own.
