Do you remember the first time?

mine was Linkin Park, i think that may affect why i've gotten into some harder screamo rock because with chesters amazing voice as he did some screaming into his music.
 
Opeth: got me into metal and classic prog rock. I certainly don't listen to them as much as I did say, four years ago, but I owe my love of music to albums like MA,YH and Still Life and Damnation.
 
Before 'classic rock' was coined & during a time when top 40 radio stations dominated the airwaves, a Charlotte radio station had a '1960s' radio program on a weekend night & they played Immigrant Song by Led Zeppelin. I was only 10 or so & never heard of them since my older sister listened to disco & new wave and there were no album oriented radio stations.

But that blew me away. I worshiped them throughout the 1980's as the classic rock format became popular until I was in high school when I started listening to college rock. Obviously, I've never been erabarrassed of them, but I haven't touched any of the old albums & I had only bought 1 CD (Physical Graffiti). But they have a warm place in my heart as they were the first band I truly became obsessed about & helped introduce me to other rock banRAB.
 
tesh,...speakin of the transition of classic rock,...
my local classic rock station (that i grew up listenin too) played pearl jam,.......made me feel old and out of the loop
 
MXPX. I don't really listen to any of their stuff anymore. But I would definitly listen to their old stuff over their new stuff. Sick Boy and Chick Magnet are pretty much as good as it gets for nostagia.
 
I'll never forget the first time I heard Black Sabbath. I was twelve years old, playing recorRAB while house-sitting for my uncle. From the moment I heard the harmonica on "The Wizard", I was hooked... It's still my favorite song!
 
Dogwood would have to be another one. And I'm definitly not ashamed of that. I may not listen to that style of music much anymore, but those guys rock.
 
Frank Zappa, while it was from my dad's collection I made it my own, he had played the songs from Sheik Yerbouti to me when I was trying to get to sleep as a baby. And when I heard it again when I was around 10 and had just moved away from Norway to Australia with my mother and step dad I rediscovered the genius of Zappa. I loved the comedy on Apostrophe and Sheik Yerbouti, but I also dug the rhythms on Hot Rats, it was love at first rediscovered listen. And yes of course I still love Zappa.
