What was the first band or artist that got you seriously into music. Pic related
Same for me.
QOTSA when I was 7
Pink Floyd
I like horses
I would have to say Mr Bungle
OP's mom
Nirvana, when I was 14
Incubus. I don't really listen to them any more but they do have a surprisingly varied discog
>>64045835
That science album was the only good thing they did.
Alice in Chains opened up totally new worlds for me when I was a kid. Haven't listened to them in a long time but the stuff from Jar of Flies and Dirt still holds a special place in my heart.
>>64045750
Me too.
Arcade Fire
>>64045835
Me too anon. Really good band for getting people into music at a young age. Catchy and fun, not overly complex and with great musicality. They were the first band I saw live too at age 12 which blew my mind.
>>64045851
It's the best thing they did, but not the only good thing.
Quite honestly, it was a combination of Radiohead and Pink Floyd
Crowded house when i was 11

I remember it clearly. this album completely fucked me up. straight cleaned my closet of all preconceptions of what I thought music was. became a crate digger for years soon after searching the catacombs for the nine pieces of eight. somehow ended up here in the process.
that was over ten years ago. this place is starting to show its liver spots and spider veins since then.
>>64045945
Why did you sat 'quite honestly' like no one would believe you?
WHEN I WAS when I was 12.
>>64046154
I didn't believe him until he was quite honest about it quite honestly

Everything just clicked.
>>64045750
pre-/mu/ stuff probably zan-zan-zawa-veia
/mu/ stuff and full album listening probably aphex twin
>>64046520
this.
I used to listen to qotsa and gorillaz as a kid (still do from time to time) but radiohead is the band that really opened me up to more music, and for that they're probably one of my favourites
>>64045750
all hail the Pumpkins
Bomfunk MC's
Simon & Garfunkel and Explosions in the Sky
>>64046530
Was just about to post this. How old were you when this happened?
Pumpkins here as well
>>64045750
tegan and sara
When I was like 14 I started listening to my parents XM radio and looking up the artists that played on there. It probably started with coldplay or arctic monkeys though desu

Ian Dury and the Blockheads
Damian Marley
Pretty lame, I know. But it was 2006 and I was 15
>>64045969
Big beats are the ebst
What do you mean seriously
My first favourite band was Coldplay
Porcupine Tree got me into non-mainstream music
Green Day
Say what you will about the actual quality of he band, but they introduced me to drugs, bisexuality, punk, concept albums, caring about the history and personality of a band. I wouldn't be who I am today if I hadn't gotten into green day when I was 10.
>>64045750
Same. I was really into the Beatles and Led Zeppelin in middle school, but I was OBSESSED with the Pumpkins in early high school, I pretty much learned how to play guitar by learning their songs. It's also when I actually started buying albums and learning about music.
Haven't listened to them in years but yeah Pumpkins were GOAT
>>64048783
this is lowkey the most embarrassing thing on /mu/.
>>64045750
if you told me in 1993 that smashing pumpkins, of all the grunge bands, would be talked about as a respectable band on a patrician internet board for anime masturbation fans in 23 years i would have called you crazy
>>64048989
not him but if "i liked green day when i was 10" is the most embarrassing thing on /mu/ then it must be a slow day
>>64046530
this
>>64047582
Not him, but I was 13. So glad I found Gorillaz, they really got me interested in music and were the first band I loved beyond 2 or 3 songs.
When I first got to /mu/ I downloaded Stevie Nicks, Slayer, King Crimson, and Heart into my phone...
Am I a homo?
Pixies
>>64045835
I have no shame in admitted that I was really into them in middle school and early high school. It's been years since I heard anything, but as I remember it it really wasn't that bad.
>>64048656
>Pretty lame, I know.
Fuck you, you pretentious twat. They're a critically acclaimed band pretty much everywhere outside of the 3contrarian5u shit hole of /mu/. You should feel ashamed for letting this place get inside your head so much.
>>64049123
Yes, but not because of that so much as the fact that you get off from sucking big thick cocks
These crazy Scott's
>>64048656
same and what >>64049262 said
This here.
>>64045750
Same here. Long Live SP
>>64049597
>everyone in the band is 5'5
>>64046530
this too. I feel like Demon Days is always a popular answer to this thread
>>64047582
Sorry for late reply. I was 13.
>>64045750
The Mars Volta. My dad took me to see them when I was 15 and I was pretty much hooked on music from them. And there are so many different genres filtered into their music they sort of have a hand in everything I listen to.
Never got into the Pumpkins as a teenager but I could see them being another good one for sparking an interest in different subgenres.
>>64049597
same
>>64045750
Radiohead, in high school
>>64045750
.....m83
Radiohead.
People ITT will go out of their way to pretend they have been patricians from birth
First wave of obsession started at about age 10 w/rap courtesy of Def Jam Vendetta. Being a white pre-teen in rural England I had no idea what Fight the Power was about, but I think the butterflies I still get today from that track are more or less the same as the ones that accompanied the sense that I'd found out about something incredible and dangerous.
Course changed slightly with the next wave. Picked up a guitar at 13 and started playing with people, lots of Nirvana, Hendrix, Metallica, GnR, Skynyrd.
Got heavy into jazz through a friend playing me Blue in Green two years later.
Soon after started watching Stewart Lee and he got me into John Cage and The Fall.
Feels like I've been completely rediscovering all of music for the last 11 years. It's pretty great.
>>64049597
Yeppers
>>64045750
This. Siamese Dream is still, after more then 16 years one of my favorite albums I have ever listened to. It was groundbreaking.
Still like it more then MCATIS.
Although I want all of the reissues.Till now i only bought Gish and Siamese Dream.
White Stripes, that duo is just nuts
>>64046220
new Constructus Corporation when?
Weird Al when I was 5. The album with Smells like Nirvana on it.
probably radiohead, nirvana or black sabbath... also my dad used to play brian eno robert fripp and david bowie when i was young
>>64048783
>>64045750
>>64046530
These bands, in that order.
Green Day when I was 12. They were the only band I would listen to until I got into SP at around 13.
This band is what got me into punk and it's sub genre's.
>listened to them before gta5
>>64045750
I was never really 'seriously into music', but the first album I got was Pulp.
>>64051425
Fuck
it wasn't until my senior year of high school that i really got into music. i was obsessed with kings of leon after i saw them in okc. this was before they got really big though. i had a HUGE crush on caleb. afterwards i started listening to similar artists and it grew from there.
Radiohead were the first ones to actually make me look through an entire discography and not tracks alone. I was like 13.
>>64047582
For gorillaz it was 2001ish when 19-2000 came out. I was just 10 and ready to believe music can change the world when I first heard them during the hummid nights of summer break.
korn
>>64051470
The band had a okcupid account? Just one?
Opeth's Ghost Reveries in my second year of HS.
like most of the posters, nirvana, smashing pumpkins were some of my first musical loves. at the same time there hasn't been a single mention of linkin park in this thread and i know you fuckers all loved them whether you want to admit it or not
>>64045750
System of a Down
>>64051726
I will happily admit that LP was the band I listened to almost exclusively when I was 13.
I put on Hybrid Theory two months ago just for shits and giggles and I was still able to enjoy it.
>>64051560
no sorry i mean't oklahoma city. not okcupid
lol haha
Muse.
rammstein got me at the same time, at music and underground music as I didnt cared about music, even mainstream music, before it
Stevie Nicks
