What band got you really into music

I would say Jeff Buckley did. He made me very intrested in music, and he's the sole reason why I started to listen to The Smiths, Led Zeppelin, Cocteau Twins, Edith Piaf, Bad Brains, Patti Smith, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and many others. I barely ever listened to music before that..
 
Probably Rise Against, they were the first band i loved. Before that i didn't really listen to music and the small amount that i did listen to was just cos my frienRAB said it was good. Then, i heard a song by Rise Against on youtube, i think it was on a skating video or something, and thought, this is awesome, and found more of their songs, and other banRAB. They are still my favourite to this day.

Although, having said that, they just happened to be the first, i would have become addicted to music anyway, no one band is responsible.

Also, Rodrigo y Gabriela made me want to discover music outside of the boundaries of rock and metal. I now listen to everything from classical to folk to punk to classic rock to death metal.
 
All the people talking about American Idiot and the memories it brings back makes me feel weird because I feel as though it was only released a few years ago.
 
The ORABpring- Americana was the first album I ever bought and I fell in love with.

Although I guess the moment I knew it was turning into an obsession was hearing siamese dream for the first time.

It changed everything for me
 
The first band I got into was Queen. I bought all of there greatest hits at the time (platinum, gold, greatest). What triggered it all was in 5th grade when I watched Wayne's World for the first time. I looked in the credits after the film to see what song was playing when they were cruising around town and low and behold it was "bohemian rhapsody".

i like everything you mentioned there. especially cocteau twins and portishead. good taste.



haha don't worry, man. the point of the thread isn't which cool band got you into music.
 
The First solo artist that got me into music was Stevie Wonder and my Frsit and still my favourite band that really ignited my passion and love for music was and is The Red Hot Chili Peppers! 22 years a fan and counting!!!
 
Blur without doubt. I was about ten and the Britpop thing was at it's peak. I liked Oasis too but Blurs poppiness won out. Somehow their albums still sound fresh to me after all these years.

I wish I could reclaim the child like wonder of seeing a new Cd on the shop shelf and shrouding the songs with mystique and imagining what the songs would sound like from song titles alone.
 
Although I rarely find myself listening to them anymore, Pink Floyd were an enormous catalyst for my transformation into a music junkie. I've since turned my back on the sacred cows of dad rock but I'll always appreciate them for spurning me into listening to music more. I still like a few of their recordings but I've somehow lost favor for the arena rock that people love clinging to.
 
The Beatles were the first band I got into as a pre-teen music fan.
Help! was the first LP I bought at the tender age of nine.
I still have the record.
I still love the band.
