My mom really liked this band, so I think this was probably my first song I can remember. I really like it now. It's about a Highschool Football player than joins the US army during Vietnam.

Up till I was like 13 all I would listen to were classic rock bands like the Beatles, and game soundtracks (I owned the soundtrack to Baldur's Gate). Pop bored me, and there weren't any good modern rock bands that I'd ever heard of. I didn't really care all that much about music.
My first modern rock band was either Evanescence or Linkin Park. Then I met someone who introduced me to Cradle of Filth, Bauhaus, and The Cure. That was when my obsession with music really began, I think.
The first time I heard Cradle of Filth was at a friends birthday party, where we were downloading random stuff from kazaa. I remember thinking everyone else's reaction was pretty funny. This was the song, btw.
Hmm... I went down a weird path, It all started at age 2 when I wanted to be the phantom of the opera
then I got hooked on the backstreet boys years later.
then came the rasmus, then apocalyptica.
I moved on from there to Sonata Arctica
and now I have 30g's of assorted music ranging from opera to metal to country.
I thought you ment what got you into music.Quote:

My first taste of Rap/Hip-Hop was in the '90s.
Artist - Biggy Smalls/Notorious B.I.G
I love rock in general.
Listened to beatles when I was 6.
Metallica when I was 7.
Unconsciously: I was around family who loved everything from Chuck Berry to The Beatles, The Cure to ZZ Top, Prince to Whitney Houston.
I first started noticing music when I was about four and my sister had Thriller by Michael Jackson, the vinyl had this really funky label, which is what I always knew the album as, but that was the first moments that I noticed it really. Then I was always hearing the aforementioned stuff being played. My taste broadened at a young age when I'd hear jazz and soul at my Grandma's house; Nina Simone, Duke Ellington, Cab Calloway, The Mahavishnu Orchestra. I never even knew "who" they were by reputation, just their names and that I loved their stuff. Then there were the soul influences; Teddy P., Marvin Gaye, Billy Ocean, The Delfonics, Diana Ross & The Supremes, Prince.
My younger (Although older than me) relatives were getting me into the more modern music. N.W.A., Public Enemy, Rage Against the Machine etc during the early nineties when I was very young, but starting to understand it a bit more on my own.
I guess it was those days at my grandma's that really established my appreciation. I shed some of them, but kept a few. Despite having die hard fans of The Beatles in my family, people who've seen them live, I never really liked them madly. Whereas Prince has gone on to be arguably my favourite musician.
The Grateful Dead, live in concert.
I wasn't even one.
