What bands or songs made you go from just liking music to loving it. I'm talking about when you only had a cd or two and listened to them over and over and over again.

 

For me I started off listening to some Christian bands, primarily DC Talk and the Newsboys.

 

And then Our Lady Peace. Soon I started listening to U2 and I just became obsessed and couldn't get enough. Now I listen to tonnes of bands.

The Foo Fighters

I remember someone burning a Pearl Jam compilation, a new musical avenue so to speak

Oasis

Silvio Rodriguez

even though as a kid my understanding of the lyrics was limited somehow his voice and the music carried the message across.

 

.....and erh...to some extent The Chipmunks....come on thier covers were groovey!

Oasis

Same here! :nice:

It's Oasis. And Blur.

I still love Blur so much till now, but Oasis....I don't know. :(

Thank goodness nobody has said Hearsay, Steps, Boyzone, Backdoor Boys or NSick!!:P

I actually was gonna say New Kids On The Block. :grin:

But at that time I just liked their faces and not their music, so I think it doesn't count on this subject. :tongue3:

Exactly - and well done for admitting that!:D

I think it was Travis

 

 

I was listening to "the invisible band" the other day and thought that I it was my first CD by a "normal" band and that I loved it back then....I remember listening to it when we went to a class-trip....all my class mates used to talk about trash bands and I was sitting there listening to "the invisible band" on my discman...I felt a bit cool then hehe...ahhhh good feeling...

wow.. tough one. I've loved/lives music since I was a kid!!! But I'd have to say Coldplay really exposed me to a bunch of other bands I might not have ever heard of if it weren't for them. So, I guess Coldplay. :)

And if it wasn't for them you'd never have become an Interpol stalker!!:P

Well...it was years ago. I was 8 or 10. It's normal, right? :thinking: :laugh3:

 

Anyway, thank you, Mark! :smug:

In all honesty, i'd have to say Coldplay :heart:

You have to be smart to realise/admit that the reason you liked stuff like that was far more down to the image than the "music".

Fortunately most people later move on to proper music of one kind or another.;)

Pink Floyd was the first band I went complete bonkers over.

i saw PULSE on tv, hogged my dad's Pink Floyd vinyls and was listening to them non-stop for months, i just couldn't get enough. they are still my #1 favourite band of all time. :D

when i was a little girl i was ashamed to say which bands i liked because all my friends were fans of 5ive and steps and the like at that age

 

so i always kept it a secret

 

i was a timid child who hated being laughed at

 

and my musical taste is quite obscure, my friends don't know who most of the bands i like are, even now

 

there can't be many who can say they saw radiohead live at 8 years old

 

also when i think of coldplay i think of travis, keane and so on, so i'm not sure which bands they influence/sound like who are decent

The answer is they are all decent for that very reason.:smug:

Blur, Oasis, Radiohead mainly. Although I was about 13 or 14 when i started listening to them. I would say my music obsession has only really developed over the past few years.

linkin park was the starter (i couldn't put hybrid theory away) but fortunately i moved on to bigger and better things like the beatles
