well it STARTED with blink 182 and sum 41, and then i met friends who liked them who also liked lagwagon and millencolin and rufio and yellowcard so i got into those bands (im not a yc fan anymore), but i didnt really get all into this music until i heard brand new and taking back sunday on fuse.

[and we whisper]

Dude, me and Kara were just talking about this the other day...

MAE.

[trindaddy]

when i was younger, my step dad would always listen to 70 and 80's metal such as iron maiden, black sabbath, early metallica, pantera, and slayer. my dad would always play beatles, r.e.m., rush, the stones, and the police. so i guess thats what got me into music when i was younger. as of more current bands i'd have to say i owe it in large part to blink.

[avengedtbs]

queen, then skynyrd, then green day (dookie), then blink, then tbs, then whatever else i listen to these days

[dhammer]

rancid & green day are tied for me

Same here. I remember seeing the video for "Salvation" and really liking the sound. Although, being like 11 years old, I had no idea what I was listening to. Then "Longview" broke, and it was all over from there...

yes definitely hearing longview was an experience. the entire cd was such an eye opener i think.

[underthetalking]

Rush because of my dad.
Millencolin because of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater.
90's Radio was pretty big too.

[sarah.exkore]

Killing Heidi, when I was like... 7 or something, haha. They didn't really "get me into" music, but they gave me an interest in it at the time.

[avengedtbs]

that game got me into a nice chunk of music

[TokyoCity]

I started listening to Slipknot in grade 3 because my best buddies brother had their album.

[CrazyRockGirl]

why hell yes, this thread has been created before, AND BY ME! anyway, my lis is:
-Jimmy Eat World
-Green Day
-AFI
-Smashing Pumpkins
and after listeing to all of those bands, I wanted to disocver more rock bands, so then I started getting into bands like Saves the day, the academy Is, etc

[x__vampire]

Hmm, good question. I think the first band I was ever really into was Green Day (their old music, although I like American Idiot, too).

[radjerryrad]

Blink182 and Everclear

[pshh]

jimmy eat world, saves the day

[mcr_fob_aarx3]

[@iden]

My dads led zepplin,pink floyd,and black sabbath records

[MIKEY_HORROR]

guns and roses or green day

[Brokenhill]

Michael Jackson literally got me liking music...parents gave me his greatest hits when I was 4...

Then soon after, I became a big fan of Wierd Al...

I also grew up listening to the local classic rock station on the radio...because of my dad.

Around age 10 I began searching for other kinds of music...branching out, and I found my own music interests.

The first band to pull me away from those other bands was Linkin Park. Another was Chevelle.

[CellarGhosts]

Band that got me into music:
the Beatles, and later, the Rolling Stones

Band that got me into hard rock:
AC/DC, and later, Iron Maiden.

and then, I got into a lot of punk rock through the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater soundtracks.

"Theres a Place where everyone can be happy, Its the most beautiful place in the whole fucking world."
Right on, bro! haha I love that one. Definatley one of my favorite BR songs, and a great song to skate to...well, to virtually skate to I guess haha. Since my real-life skillz on a board are all whack ahha.

But yeah, I remember the first time that the original THPS game was released, my friends and I were at a birthday party, and stayed up all night playing that game haha.

[MIKEY_HORROR]

I literally fell asleep while playing that game at a slumber party when I was younger....I have no clue how that is possible...but I did..haha..I woke up with a controller on my lap sitting straight up in a recliner in front of a TV...haha

we uses to play it nonstop though...thats one of those classics for friends to compete agianst and try to get high score..

Hahaha, that's pretty much exactly what happened with me and my friends. It was an overnight birthday party, where we sat up all night eating cake, Dorritos, drinking Pepsi, and going on those Tony Hawk binges haha. My friends and I kept trying to beat each other's high scores.

...then I woke up the next morning with a headache, and the shits.

[myplanforescape]

Red Hot Chili Peppers

[theguy77]

haha, tony hawk's pro skater 2... "no cigar" by millencolin and "may 16" by lagwagon... fucking classic

[IAmAmazing]

Aiden

[Brokenhill]

Id have to agree...Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, 3, and 4 influenced my music tastes.

[love_american_style]

Aiden

STFU & GTFO, NOOB!

[emerypearl]

[DRUMMERGIRL121]

green day

[armegeddon]

[MIKEY_HORROR]

my sister, thats not really a band though

but she does put on a good show....

[emerypearl]

but she does put on a good show....
haha. i actually found that funny

[Yes. And?]

My Chemical Romance.

[AP_Punk]

My Chemical Romance.

I'm curious to hear about how you got into 'em.

For me, it was all thanks to this site.

[theguy77]

yeah i think my main media influences were:

the tony hawk's pro skater games, primarily number 2
fuse on TV
yahoo music personal radio stations

[Yes. And?]

I was actually reading a magazine, I can't remember which one...and they seemed pretty interesting, so I decided to check them out. And I'm not giving them credit for being that band, just because they're my favorite band. I was never into music very much before I got into them. Of course...Evanescence's "Fallen" was the first cd I ever liked the whole way through, so I guess they get a bit of credit, as well.

[duhpunk]

haha, the thread starters name is blinkin park

[Esrb99]

The Beatles, my mom made me listen to "1" and I loved it, and around the same time, *N Sync. I was 9-10ish.

then AFI in '01 and TBS a bit later... Decade is still my fave music video of all time.

[underthetalking]

THPS2 got me into Millencolin, who became my favorite band ever for a while, who became the gateway to my other favorite bands.

[Me & My Arrow]

Disney movies.

[vcruz00]

Enema of the State by Blink 182 got me addicted to music. I got that album during the summer following 4th grade. I was a bit young to understand a handfull of their jokes but there was something about that record that grabbed into it and made me completely OBSESSED. Shortly after Blink I got into the likes of The Offspring, Rancid, Sum 41, New Found Glory, Good Charlotte, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Goldfinger, etc. That's basically where it started, though I hardly listen to ANY of those bands anymore.

[CrazyRockGirl]

yes this thread was cretaed by me! well, mine were Jimmy Eat World, Smashing Pumpkins, Old Taking Back Sunday, Green Day, AFI

[ashleydevitto]

blink 182 or new found glory. I can't remember which. thinking about it, that was so long ago and what I listen to now is far from that.

[michelephantx]

Well, I gues i would have to say that Fall Out Boy & My Chemical Romance were the first punk rock/alternative kinda bands I listened to. Before I got into them i was a hardcore rap/hip-hop fan. But after listening to them, i slowly migratedaway from rap/hip-hop towards rock, alternative, etc.

[Yes. And?]

[altemose09]

sum 41's all killer no filler was the first cd i actually listened to all the songs on. then what actually got me into music was fall out boy's take this to your grave. that was in 8th grade so its only been a little over 2 years ive been really into music. i was actually thinking about this today and thought it was amazing how many bands i've gotten into since then

EDIT: Green Day's Dookie was pretty big to me in 6th-7th grade

[lucasfcosta]

you and the rest of the world
