What band really got you into music?

[Jordan3606]

Just wondering, what band or artist got you into music, or a certain genre of music?

I never used to obsess over music much, I had an iPod and stuff, but it was mainly filled with ****e pop songs which I listened to every so often. I had about 250 songs or something, not very many at all (well, compared to most people I know lol)

Then I discovered Linkin Park and music has never sounded so good, I know that sounds cheesy but its true :P Its almost as if they've opened up a whole new world, now I love music, I've found so many great bands and songs I like, and I've really got into rock/nu-metal music too.

I've even bought an electric guitar and I'm trying to learn some stuff on that.. its not going too well so far, but I'll get there eventually :P

So yeah, in a way, I kinda owe all this to Linkin Park, their music has introduced me to so many more bands that I like, and different genres of music too. I reckon they'll always be my favourite band, for this very reason. I dont think I'd be listening to half the stuff now if I hadnt listened to LP

So yeah lol :P Anyone else got any bands etc. that got them really interested in music? Or am I just being weird? :P

Busted were the first 2 albums I really wanted (after the Spice Girls broke up :(), then Green Day really opened my eyes to music. Since then The Fratellis have expanded my music taste completley and now I listen to all kinds of rock music.

[EmoGilly]

Story of the Year was the first band that made me go "WOW!!!" with music, but i think it was... eugh... dare i say it.... Simple Plan that made me look into music more.

This. ****, the first time I head In The End, I was like ':o!, there's music outside pop?!'. Now I don't listen to them as often, but they still stay my most favourite band in the entire world
