So, tell us what you grew up with...

[ck-uk]

Umm my grand father was a major music fanatic.He never watched tv at all,just music,music,music.I think after he got slightly cheesed with collecting he start trading audio tapes n music with blind peeps around the world for about 30 yrs.His fav was country western,artist mario lanza.I suppose i inherited it ,because i'm almost idential in most besides the sharing with the blind.I still have a good chunk of his collection too.So the majority of listening growing up was country with a bit of marilion ,fish ,guns n roses,rush gillan etc

I was lucky to have so many influences when I was growing up.

My Pa loved;
Bruce Springstein
The Who
Dexys Midnight Runners
The Jam
The Chilites
In fact, he loved anything Motown, soul.

My ma was into;
Squeeze
Van Morrison
Bob Dylan
She loves Northen soul, rock and punk.
My mum has the best taste in music, she actually introduced me to Nirvana, and Aerosmith! I lurve her to bits.

I lived with my Gran and Grandad till I was about 7yr old.
They generally listened to Irish music, and stuff I'd rather forget.
(yes, Des 'o Conner, I hate you&#33

My two uncles lived with us too.
They played loadsa good stuff like;
The Clash
Bob Marley
Deep Purple
Jimi Hendrix
Every time I think of back then, I think of "Land Down Under - Men At Work".

My other uncle introduced me to;
Guns and Roses
Metallica
Ramones
Sex Pistols
Janis Joplin

My Stepmum used to play a lot of classical, opera, and country.
Garth Brooks still makes me cringe. :helpsmile:

Even as a kid, I didn't watch that much T.V. Instead I would play my walkman, or tinker with my beloved vinal player.

[talkpretty]

I'm listening to T. Rex while writing this, so I guess this might date me (a little).
My folks were not musically fluent, so I self discovered. I grew up in L.A., so there was good radio to play.

Young Girl - The Beatles, I loved Paul. I got one of those cheap phonographs and would play Rubber Soul over and over (wore it out).

Pre-Pub - A friend said "come over and listen to this"; It was Jimmy Hendrix. Wow! I loved it then and I still love it. Then along came Cream, Tommy James and the shondells. Sgt. Pepper was a mind blower. The Doors

I would spend hours at the record store agonizing what album to buy with my meager allowance. I remember staring at the new Santana - Abraxys (sp) album with that beautiful naked woman on the front - very cheeky! That album was banned by the parents of my friends, but of course we listened to anyway.

High School - Led Zepplin! I bow down to LZ. I am a Led Zepplen abuser. I think I like all music except for Country.

[Randomblonde]

I had no influences. NONE. I cared for no sibling or parental musical guidance.
I wandered in the musical wilderness until I was 13, a friend turned to me at the ripe young age of 14, handed me a metallica tape and I haven't looked back since

[Arm]

Until Arm was around 14 he just listened to my moms classic rock I heard playing on the radio. All the crap from the 70s, 80s and some from the 60s. The stuff wasent bad but it wasent enough for me.

I started downloading music videos made from the FMV footage(Final Fantasy #1, Resident Evil #2 and Metal Gear Solid #3 ) from my games for some damn reason and they had good songs so that influenced me. The songs were the typical pop-rock shit. Linkin Park, Creed, Offspring were the biggest 3. Anyway this went on until Arm found another music video. A quite special one indeed.

It be a 10 minute long(and half-ass edited) video containing a 10 minute epic Stratovarius song called Destiny. The song kicked ass so I downloaded more Stratovarius then went to metal sites and learned about new metal bands. Expecially mp3.com before it closed down. B) Then I read up on metal more and found some new bands to discover and it went on and on.

Most of the bands I listened to were either power or progressive metal. Then I went and downloaded a Metallica song called For Whom the Bell Tolls, who someone recommended it. Arm loved it so that fueled my thrash metal craze. My brothers music, although I don't like most of his music, I am quite fond of Slayer.

I must thank all the people over the internet for helping me fuel my love for metal. Everyone who makes the web sites and recommended me to download a song.

And The Story Ends. :music1:
