Your age and the song that REALLY hooked you onto music?

Same here. I mean my dad was a country musician and so I had often been to see his gigs so I was usually surrounded by music. And I used to listen to the poppier Beatles material, the Eagles, CCR, the Doobie Brothers etc.

But I only truly latched onto music when I was about 14 or 15 when a mate copied Blood Sugar Sex Magik for me.
 
I had listened to my mom's entire cd collection, I was 4 at the time I think. I was listening to alot of Ministry at the age of 5 and find it a little distubing now when I look at it from someone else's perspective.

so did anyone else here catch flak from their peers for liking the chili peppers before the tv validated them as being 'cool'? i had a few people call me bad f worRAB due to wearing a t-shirt with 4 topless dudes on it back in high school only to turn around and tell me how awesome the chilis were a few years later.

(it's kind of hard to tell but i'm also wearing a BSSM t-shirt in my avatar too hehe)
 
I grew up around my sisters a lot. So I pretty much always had Guns N Roses growing up. I can't recall ever not being around it and enjoying it.
 
I was always listening to music thanks to my parents, the song I loved the most as a child was "that strawberry song" (Strawberry FielRAB Forever - Beatles)

But what probably did it for me and got me seriously in to music was Linkin Park's entire Hybrid Theory album. It was all downhill from there.
 
red hot chili peppers - jungle man. i was 15. i was already getting into music but this tune and video completely changed my perceptions on it.

I was listening to music since I was very young (I saw The Grateful Dead when I was four), having shared a room with my Nirvana-obsessed brother for nine years. I retroactively downloaded pop music since I was eleven years old. But what really hooked me into actively pursuing music as more than a pasttime was "Another Brick In The Wall (Part 2)" by Pink Floyd. I think I was in tenth grade at the time.

I started listening to rock music from all different decades. Less than a year ago, I decided it was time to broaden my horizons further and start listening to vastly different genres. And I did. Although I admit I can't stomach much heavy metal, hardcore, pop, or country, I have tried to accept them as best as I can. I now listen to virtually everything else and I finally enjoy it!
 
When I was a kid music was always around the house, but as I got older I started to actually pick out albums in his collection...mostly Beatles albums. By the time I was 10 I was listening to the local Top 40 station and buying 45's with my allowance. The first one I bought was a novelty record called The Streak by Ray Stevens.
