what was the first band/artist that you liked?
i would have to go with the composer of the original nintendo music. but the first band i ever liked was green day. i will forever be in debt to them for getting me into punk rock and just music in general that wasn't the zelda theme song. i still listen to dookie once a year. i really think if i didn't listen to green day at that age, i wouldn't be listening to black flag or discharge at this age.

either Thompson Twins or Oingo Boingo. hard call.
although...The Carpenters' Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft was my first favorite song. true story. |
Nirvana. Yeah I was a depressive little twit.
|
the spice girls i liked a lot as a child. which i look back on and find funny, because my mom was always playing cool music.
|
The earliest band I remember really loving was the Monkees. I was 3 or 4.
I also liked Donovan a lot and the Moody Blues' albums "In Search Of The Lost Chord" and "On The Threshold Of A Dream" figured prominently in my childhood's soundtrack. This was 1973-76ish. |

i think a lot of people's first band was nirvana. at least it is in my age group. |
I think so too, but I got into them, 8 years after he blew his brains out.
|
As far as fanboy fandom goes, it was Joan Jett and Devo, 81-82.
|
The first band I ever identified as a band that I liked were The Beach Boys.....I was 4 or 5.
|
Led Zeppelin. Then Nirvana and Smashing Pumpkins.
I always resented Green Day. |
Robbie Williams - my first album was Escapology.
The Caesars - began my fascination with more obscure stuff. The Ramones - if I hadn't discovered the Ramones, I wouldn't have discovered any band I liked since (except The Smiths, who I heard on the radio). |

Led Zeppelin
I got into pretty heavy around 8th grade. They changed my whole outlook on music and life in general. I became the "go-to guy" for people who wanted to talk about music. I stopped listening to Zeppelin heavily around my sophomore year when I got into punk rock and Sonic Youth, but I've been listening to them more recently. Jimmy Page was the reason I picked up the guitar and the reason that I bought a Telecaster when everyone was telling me to get the Strat. Because Jimmy did so much and got such sound of his Tele. |
This makes me want to talk about my musical journey.
The first song I remember liking was 1995's Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me by U2. Sure I was only ten and it was a promo song for Batman Forever, but that song rocks. Ha ha, I had the single on cassette. Anyways, I got into Led Zeppelin shortly after that and was into them throughout middle school. 8th grade I got into Nirvana and Smashing Pumpkins mostly from my older brother (a trend in my early music interests). By freshmen or sophomore year of high school, I got into Radiohead and was all into them for a long while. Then senior year came around and my brother came back from his first year in college with Sonic Youth, My Bloody Valentine, Dinosaur Jr, Joy Division, etc. and needless to say I was blown away and am still being blown away since. |
the first GOOD music that i seriously liked was stuff like led zeppelin and the rolling stones, hendrix etc.
|
Nirvana and punk music when I was like 7-8.
|
when i was like seven i saw this picture of the sex pistols in a book and i thought they looked so cool.
|
I was raised on the Beatles.

Ha. That's why I liked most punk bands. I'd see a picture of someone looking all punk and then they'd be my favorite band before I'd even heard them. |
Smashing Pumpkins
