Weird Al Yankovic. First concert I ever attended (I was probably 8?)

Artist would be Michael Jackson. I was a huge obsessive throughout my teens.

But as you said "band" it would have to be 2 Unlimited. Anita was a fox.

It's not bad, but I was in Uni when it came out I think.

This is just such a kick as first album




That being said, in my younger days (5-10yrs old) I was a big Kenny Rogers fan, like huge.

Rage Against the Machine, probably. While I didn't totally understand the message they were trying to relay a 7 or 8 years old I loved the hard music and still love Morello's style of guitar. The idea of "the space between the notes" is still amazing to me. Being the only kid in my class actually allowed to listen to "Killing in the Name Of" was pretty sweet.

Being 16 when I finally realized that I recognized the voice in Know your Enemy.

R.E.M.

In the 80s.

Their stuff in the 90s is fine, but as I think Stipe said, they evolved out of their fan base.

Duran Duran then turned to EMF to Nine Inch Nails. NIN is still my favourite “band” and to see what Trent has become now still blows my mind. He’s a genius.

I was influenced a lot by my older sister and she constantly raved about this band. I listened to it frequently because she played it, and I ended up really liking it too. I was pretty young, probably no more than 6 or 7, but it stuck with me. Still one of my favorite bands:

Crowded House



That album is one of the best pop albums ever, but their follow up had really intriguing tracks like Into Temptation that cemented my interest even further.



A close second would have been Tears for Fears. Everybody Wants To Rule The World and Shout were iconic songs for my youth.

What can I say? I've always liked slower and thought provoking music.

Motley Crue

I had a few tapes before I discovered this band and it was played non stop in the dressing room before games and practices. Especially "Smoking in The Boys Room".

I wasn’t really into music until around grade 7 or 8. I liked a lot of different stuff but the first time I heard Stabbing Westward’s Wither Blister Burn and Peel, I was obsessed.

Had older brothers that influenced me.
What stands out is listening to Boston's self titled, Bat Out of Hell, and A Night at the Opera.

First bands I got into on my own were 80's hair metal bands.
Probably have to go with Twisted Sister for my first fave.

Quiet Riot in Grade 6. Metal Health is still a great party album.

Got this for my 12 or 13th birthday. Still my favorite, imo probably the greatest living composer.

Muchmusic played their farewell concert at the Sydney Opera House a lot.
That's how I found out about Crowded House.

I've loved music since I can remember. Infancy to age 6 or 7, it was the Beatles/Zeppelin. Kiss in elementary. AC/DC, Sabbath, Ozzy, Maiden, Priest, Def Lepp in Jr High. Metallica/Megadeth in high school.

Blink 182. I remember seeing the music video for “What’s My Age Again?” as a 12 year old and knew I wanted to play music. Haven’t looked back since. I was so obsessed with “Enema of The State” and “Take Off Your Pants and Jacket” around 1999-2002. Ok, I guess that hasn’t changed much. Cool thread idea. You pals have some great posts/bands.

Green Day's Dookie. I bought the cassette, the CD, the music book and a guitar while still a broke-ass little kid because of this album.

Styx and KISS and to a lesser extent AC/DC only becasue I guess I liked the "shock" value (to my parents) of Hells Bells
