Huey Lewis and the News was my first real concert. 1985 at Red Rocks. My dad took me.

As a kid in elementary and jr high, I listened to what ever my parents listened to, which was a heavy dose of ABBA, Silver Convention, Donna Summer and CKRD in Red Deer. Things changed when I got a radio for Christmas and I could listen to CKXL and the weekly top 30. Cheap Trick and The Knack were my favorites and the first two albums I bought were Live at Budokan and Get the Knack.
Things really changed when my dad hooked coax up to the back of the receiver. I then discovered KEZE out of Spokane. It was an album rock station and from there on it was AC/DC, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Molly Hatchet. I bought a lot of LPs based on what I heard on KEZE.

The first band I remember being obsessed with as a kid was the Police, around '83/84 or thereaboutrs. I had a crush on my friend's older sister and she would blast Synchronicity at ear-bleeding volume every time I was at their house. She also had a huge poster of them on her bedroom door. I went out and bought my own cassette copy not too long after that. Man, I played the s*** out of that album.
In Junior High it was U2 and Guns N' Roses.
High school was The Tragically Hip, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Soundgarden, 54-40, the Northern Pikes, and countless other bands.
Love the choices- I just feel
Old that I was generally two life stages/degrees further along for each of these bundles
My parents weren't really into music so I didn't have a lot of exposure growing up.
That said, Beach Boys would have been my first favourite band.
Because I didn't really have any music to rebel against from my parents, I rebeled against what my peers were listening to and got into country music in the mid-90s. This lead to my favourate band as a teenager being Lonestar.
Now take all that knoweldge, combine that with being the only kid that's a Flames fan in the entire school fo Habs & Leafs fans... yeah I was a weird nerdy kid, and it's a wonder that I'm as normal as I am (which isn't very).

Beach Boys here as well. They were my first concert when I was 10. I'd also listen to all my parents Beatles 45's on my mickey mouse record player with Penny Lane being my fave.
