Skinsfan1311 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 First song that got me into music was Zeppelins Black Dog. This was sometime in the early 70's, after one of my Dads med cruises. He bought a Phillips stereo, with a reel-to-reel somewhere in Europe. I think he sold his camera to get it..Anyway, he had a sailor that worked for him, who was 18 or 19, and the kid had a big record collection, full of great stuff. During his down time, he recorded his entire collection on reel-to-reels for my Dad. I guess you can imagine the type of music a kid that age had in his collection. Zeppelin, Hendrix, Credence Clearwater, Beatles, etc. Sitting on my parents, staring at the needles on the tape player, and watching them bounce when the guitar starts and Plant starts wailing, "Hey Hey Mama, said the way you move!" was a defining moment in my life.

USS Redskins Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 The monkees reruns.... dad bought us an 8 track of monkees greatest hits and told us that there was a band called the Beatles. Bought us the red and blue Beatles greatest hits on vinyl. A few years later I heard Mr Edward Van Halen and took guitar lessons. A bunch of garage bands, lots of 2nd hand weed smoke, a mullet and a few Marshall stacks and fender strats later... and damn, I am an old ****.

I can't remember not loving music, but the song that made me want to learn how to play guitar was White Room by Cream. I know. I was playing my dad's Beatles albums at 5, loved Lawrence Welk and Andy Williams, then my brother came to live with us and brought Aretha Franklin and Steppenwolf with him. I started piano lessons at 7. 15 hours ago, Skinsfan1311 said: Yngiwie who? My avatar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RemoveSnyder Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Spoiler I think one my earliest memories of music was when I was about 4 or 5 and my Mother would put on Supertramp - Breakfast in America LP and we'd dance together in the living room. So, that was probably the beginning. Conversely my sister who was a teenager at the time would play Police LPs in the basement -- Reggatta de Blanc. Oh, I guess Sesame Street too. Ha. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfakV7A78gk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I liked various and random songs up until I was in 6th grade and was given a cassette of Offspring's Smash. I still love that album. Then dad got me an Ozzy/Black Sabbath hybrid double CD and I was hooked. I felt most attracted to the drumming, and soon asked my dad who was the most powerhouse drummer of his generation. He gave me Zep 1. I love you dad.

Kosher Ham Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I assume that I loved music from day one. I love all types of music. Appreciate all of them for what they are. That is why I have NEVER lost a bet on what would play on my playlist next. Rap, Rock, Metal, R&B, Soul, Disco, Country, Honky Tonk, Funk, Pop, etc. If it is good...I will listen.

zoony Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 So you don't think Beyoncé is good so you don't listen. This theory of yours is one step away from e=Mc2 i was thinking about it. I don't think Beyoncé is good either, so i don't listen. However the music I think is good I listen.

Taylor703 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Pennywise, Lagwagon, NOFX, No Use for a Name, Alice in Chains, Nirvana, Rage, Guns N Roses, Metallica. My brother is 8 years older than me so I basically listened to what he listened too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as obsessions, Zep lead to Rush, which lead to Tool. I couldn't believe there was someone seemingly more "Bonhamy" than Bonham. It's like, if Bonzo studied percussion in school, you'd have Danny Carey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacon Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Up through age 11 or so: The Beatles, U2, Steely Dan, lots of Motown acts (The Four Tops, The Supremes, Smokey Robinson). I went through a prog phase when I was 13. All I wanted to listen to was Pink Floyd, Genesis, Yes, Jethro Tull and King Crimson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the only guys out there whose verses are legit harder to play than most of his fills or solos. So mentally/technique demanding. I was also obsessed with Smashing Pumpkins and Soundgarden. Speaking of, I hear Bonham all over Cameron's playing. Incredible how much JB influenced an entire era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade7 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I've been laughed at before, but seriously, early Linkin Park (Everything Reanimation and before) totally took me by surprise in their commitment to blend hip-hop and rock and not apologize for it. This was at a time when I would get questioned for liking rock music by black kids at school (I'm Black and Italian), and I was really sick of the idea of liking what I was supposed to like because I was supposed to like it. Good music is good music and it led me to taking more chances with music, like trying Marilyn Manson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nonniey Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Never really got into music until I got Married then picked up on my wife's tastes - I'd have to say Earth Wind and Fire, Erykah Badu, Blue Cantrell and Pink were the groups/singers that got me more interested.

Captain Wiggles Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Impossible for me to narrow it down to one or a few bands/artists. I blame my father and the MTV (circa 1983 to whenever that show The Real World ruined it ) for my obsession with music. Music was constantly playing in the household I grew up in.
