Your first favorite band?

[booster11373]

<p>What was the first band you had to know everything about? Mine was The Police I remember feeling like I knew a big secret cause I knew Sting's real name. I had a big poster of them on my wall surrounded by articles and pics that I cut out of Creem magazine. I was pretty bummed when they broke up.</p><p>Since I got older I find I dont really care to learn about a band anymore. I love the Dandy Warhols have most of there albums but dont feel the need to learn a thing about them.</p><p>What about you?</p>

guns n roses

[cougarjake13]

metallica

[Welshie]

The Smashing Pumpkins...still dig the catalog, but not my favorite at this point.

[Judge Smails]

<p>AC/DC -&nbsp; If I wasn't just some faceless guy on a satelite radio show fan message board I'd never admit that to anyone.&nbsp; My tastes have really changed since I was 10.</p>

[Hottub]

Who, E.L.O. and AC/DC.

They must haul in a nice salary and they're decently famous, but not really enough of either to have it be a problem. Like I'm sure they can walk around Brooklyn without it being a problem.

[dereckfishboy]

I've got to go with Nine Inch Nails. The soundtrack to my adolescence.<br />

[badorties]

<p>&nbsp;</p><p>in 1987, i heard &quot;It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)&quot; on WNEW and i was an instant R.E.M fan ... as the years passed, i might've obsessed over other bands -- but i've alway gone back (except for some of 'out of time')</p>

[angelinad128]

I was in the 6th Grade...Duran Duran!!! (Mind you I grew up a metal head but anything 80's rocks!) <img src="http://www.ronfez.net/messageboard/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/thumbup.gif" border="0" />

[grlNIN]

Silverchair were the first and very shortly after, NIN.<br />

[tele7]

Paul McCartney &amp; Wings.&nbsp; After seeing them on channel 11 with a silmucast on WNEW, I was hooked.&nbsp;

I'm still as enamored with AC/DC as I was when I was a kid, if not more so. I'll never "outgrow" them.

What's your favorite song?

[Gvac]

And it's the best song EVER.<br />

<p>The. Cure.</p><p>Original&nbsp;name? Easy Cure.&nbsp; Robert Smith's lipstick color? Mary Quant's Crimson Sculpture.&nbsp; Single under a pseudonymn?&nbsp; (I'm a) Cult Hero by Cult Hero.&nbsp; G'wan, ask me anything.</p>

[stinkbud]

Springsteen, right around the time &quot;The River&quot; came out<br />

[mikeyboy]

I liked music, but didn't get obsessed by it until I was in sixth grade.&nbsp; Something about AC/DC's &quot;Back in Black&quot; completely grabbed me at that point and pulled me in.

[BLZBUBBA]

<p>AC-DC the Bon Scott years. May he rest in peace.</p>

<p>My first favorite was the Beatles. My brother would always ask what I wanted for Christmas, and I'd request a Beatles album. One year he asked, and I started to name more Beatles. He said, &quot;you know... there are other bands&quot;. He got me The Who-Quadraphenia, Rolling Stones-Get Yer Ya Ya's Out, Frank Marino &amp; Mahogany Rush-Live, and one I can't remember. </p><p>I haven't bought a Beatles album since.</p>

<strong><font size="2">My first &quot;45&quot;&nbsp; (yes I'm that old) was &quot;Over, Under , Sideways, Down by the Yardbirds. My first&nbsp; recollection of rock music was the Beatles.</font></strong>

I was nine years old. My cousin had <strong><em>All the World's a Stage</em></strong>, their first live album and I made a tape of it. I grew up in a Hispanic household and never heard rock music at home, so when I heard them it was just so powerful and wicked, like having conquered evil, just like <strong><em>By-Tor &amp; The Snowdog</em></strong>. One wiff and I was hooked;&nbsp;done! Put a fork in me.</font></font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">After that I just loved all music, so from the age of 12 of 13 and I had started making money mowing lawns an shoveling snow I went out and I ate up everything about music, records, tapes, magazines, sheet music (and I didn't pick up the guitar until I was 30!!) and eventualy CDs (I have almost a thousand). I wanted to know everything about every band, artist and piece of music that touched me. This lasted until about five or six years ago when radio changed and I started to hate the music I heard. Now thanks to my iPod and iTunes, and my own determination to find music I like, that part of me is back. All I need now is the disposable income that I had when I was 23, making 25Gs a year and living at home.</font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">Ahh, the good ol' days.</font></p>

<p>My first favorite band has to be ASIA</p><p><img height="169" src="http://www.originalasia.com/asia-cd.jpg" width="162" border="0" /></p><p>The it quickly turned to RUSH and it has been the same ever since.</p><p><img height="152" src="http://www.rush.com/php/media/discography/album10.jpg" width="152" border="0" /></p>

[lleeder]

<p>DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince I couldn't get enough of Parents Just Don't Understand and Nightmare on My Street. I was nine at the time it was the first tape I ever got.</p>

[ADF]

My first favorite band was INXS around the <em>Kick</em> album.&nbsp; One of my more embarassing moments was singing out loud with headphones on to &quot;Never Tear Us Apart&quot; while my family laughed hysterically out in the living room.<br />

Coverdale Page? They were pretty bad-ass.


I can't really remember if it was The Cars or the Stray Cats. I
think it was the latter.
