My first stuff was 70’s rock. Really got into Pink Floyd as my first band crush. Later I moved into 80’s/90’s alternative. I like a lot of genre’s and enjoy music. As they say. Music is for the soul.
First album I really listened to on repeat and was like “man, this is a jam” was Deep Purple’s greatest hits album, Deepest Purple I think lol
I was maybe 10 years old and my family was very musical but I just wasnt feeling it till that album. Before then I was told to pick an instrument and learn it, and some friends were doing orchestra in elementary school and I was like “eh… cello I guess”
That didnt last. Once I listened to Smoke on the Water I made my grandma buy me a guitar and ditched the cello forever. After learning the forbidden riff I tortured my parents and sister for several years with awful renditions of 70s and 80s hard rock such as Crazy Train by Ozzy Osbourne and Master of Puppets by Metallica
Later branched out to hip hop and other genres in early high school but rock n roll was my first love lol
Funny enough I didn’t really get into music before I turned 15-16 or something like that. I got influenced by my older brother. He listened to amongst others bad religion, sublime, pink floyd.
When I was really young my mom listened to Heart a lot, I would listen to back street boys and nsync with friends, then I heard eiffel 65 at around age 8, been an electronic music head since. I also remember the first time I heard linkin park and papa roach and POD when I was like 10, all life changing experiences.
My mom had a Peppermint Twist album I can remember and Chad and Jeremy record; Woman.
I liked the Monkees when I was young. My mom mostly liked Perry Como, Andy Williams, people like that.
When we were little kids we’d stay at my paternal grandpa house. He would wake us at 5 am blasting Hank Williams Jr. My dad liked country such as Vince Gill, Travis Tritt and Garth Brooks. Also Jim Croce. As I was a teenager I listened to Open House Party on Saturday nights. Also let’s see. Prince, MJ, U2, the dude’s that did Red Red Wine, C+C Music Factory, Enya, Peter Gabriel. Oh can’t forget NKOTB
