Bands That Made You Love Music!

of course another super impact song that seriously enters my mind at least once a day would have to be...

CARS

Some more great bands
Love Muse too,bellamy's a total genius on the guitar,totally original i also love the bass players grooves aswell!!!

I completely forgot this song, and it epitomizes a lot of the valleys in my life-
Totally identify with this song at times-

Radiohead- "Creep"

well coving the first three decades of my life, 62 to say 94 or 95, after that music that
was being put out kinda went down hill imo. some good bands came out after that but not
many, started hearing rap, hip hop, techno, and teenie bopper music played on the radio.
there were many great bands, and one hit wonders, and my list is long and there are a great many.

That list is much like my own with some give and take. Throw in the 60-70's Motown my mom listened to and my dad's Sinatra and Man of La Mancha type stuff and there you have it, we were destined to love music. My dad's best friend conducted an Italian orchestra for fun so when he was oiled up a little (usually), he'd get up there and belt out a few tunes. When the white album came out my mom would put the tape in to wake us up on Sunday, I thought that was the coolest thing in the world at the time. Those were fun times.

When I heard this band, nothing was the same again.

Music always had a big influence on me. I guess it really started back in the late 70's early 80's, when I was into Gary Numan, Devo, Kraftwerk, David Bowie, Eno, Ultravox, then I started getting into punk, The Dead Kennedys, Crass, The Exploited, Discharge, then into metal, Venom, Celtic Frost, Bathory..... I loved it, and still do, and all this inspired me to do my own music, myspace.com/kosmokratermusic and myspace.com/themightyastrum

Wow diggin rodan,never heard them before gonna have to download myself some of that and awesome avatar by the way ,what is that picture?

While the hard rock of the 80's is what really accelerated my inter activeness with music, it was music from the 70's that was playing on the radio and on my parents record player that first hit me with that magical connection that made me start paying attention to what was going on in the songs, both message and music, but more music. I remember 2 fragments that used to momentarily mesmerize me as a youngster and they were the slide solo in Hendrix's All Along The Watchtower and Wings(Paul Mc) acoustic bridge in Band On The Run.


Allman Bros
Jimi Hendrix
Simon and Garfunkel
Willie Nelson
Steely Dan
Neil Young

Peace,

funny you said that about your mom wakein you up with those tunes. i remember back about the time i was
7 or 8 my mom use to listen to a radio station that played what they called the hit parade, played all kinds of music pop, r&b jazz, soul and rock. she had this stereo console, well it was more like a piece of furniture than a stereo,it was about 4 feet long, and had huge speakers on both ends and stood on legs that were about 2 feet tall. open the top door and there was a turntable, 8 track and radio.
well one day my dad brought home this timer off a piece equipment from where he worked, it was kinda like the ones you get for your hot water heater today. so he hooked the stereo up to this timer, turned the volume knob
up, set the timer to 6 a.m. and thats what we used for alarm clock for years after that. i still remember the first morning he used it, that sucker went off playin the theme from bonanza if any body remembers that show. scared us all to death. you know i dont think they had clock radios in 69 or 70, my pop might have missed out on a lot of cash. man what i wouldn't give to go back to that time, care free and no worries, only what and who i was gonna play with.

Led Zep....

Thanks to my older sister and mom




They still love to throw this in my face from time to time...

Probaly one of the best songs ever .

Saw Marshall Tucker band back in the 70's was fab then...thanks for reminding me.

My girlfriends and I were the biggest Elton John fans. It was our first concert as well.



And Neil Diamond...



Went to college and learned there was other music.

Steely Dan Dirty Work



And of course Pink Floyd saved my life a few times.

That's a tough one, if your talking the very first bands that made me love rock,
KISS
Alice Cooper
Jeff Beck
ZZ Top
Led Zep

The first time i ever understood music was in 6th form when i heard smells like teen spirit at a disco in some uni. It will always be the only song i remember where i was when i heard it, first time i ever knew how music effects you. Amazing.

Nirvana.
