ok, i know music isn't the same for everyone, but for me it's kind of my life. and for people like me, i was just wondering what was the album that made you go, wow, that's brilliant, i want to do that?
yea, i feel the same. music is my life (that and surfing). so... i'm not sure what album it would be. probably something by nirvana, they are great.
I have a feeling i might be a little older then a lot of the girls
Well...my first band was Bon Jovi. WE used to swing (I got that teeter totter thing) to Slipery When Wet for hours. In eighth grade i decided that the 10000 Maniacs were my fave, and then the broke up the next day (serious!!). In ninth grade i really heard They Might Be Giants, and that was about all music i owned. They're still great, but you can tell they're trying more main stream. Now my ab fave is the Indigo Girls...they are just amazing...so passionate & beautiful. besides...Amy Ray looks great in tight white jeans.
like i just wanted to post a little message sayin to watch out for the Homicidal Postal Workerz, we're a all grrrl band in Virginia...well laterz...~*Medusa
I wish I was in a band...lead singer....that would be soooo awesome.
The first band that I heard that actually had a serious impact on me (other than Madonna) had to have been the Cranberries. Since I was 6 or 7, I had been really overexposed to classical music and I took piano lessons and played a lot of classical music, and I never listened to the radio so it was all I really heard and could absorb. But after we got cable television in my pre-teen years I got really into rock and quit piano and started playing guitar (although I love playing piano and it is still my favorite instrument and relaxes me like nothing else). During this phase, I was introduced to the Cranberries by my neice (drummer in my band) and we instantly loved them and 'Everybody Else is doing it so why can't we' was my first CD. They helped to push me into the direction I am going into now with music and I am grateful for that.
The first album I was totally in love with was Siamese Dream by the Smashing Pumpkins. It usually takes me several listens to get into an album but I liked this one instantly. It's been with me through so much: depression, friday afternoons sprawled on my bed after a long hard week of school, boring ferry rides to Catalina on a school trip.... the sucky thing is that the CD got scratched cuz I'd leave it lying around in my backpack during the 9th grade graduation trip so now it skips around in the middle of Geek U.S.A. I stood it for a while but not it just gets annoying so when I get me some cash I'll buy another CD~~~
I think the first band/group I was really obsessed over was Boys II Men. It's the first group I HAD to have every CD, see them on TV, etc. They have wonderful voices, and are good people. Although their love songs can be to sweet sometimes, they are beautiful!
mine is bush, the most important band to me. that helped me through just too much, i love them.

who read this, so with risk of dating myself the first band i really dug
was depeche mode, back in the mid eighties. and then i found the cure,
and they became the only thing i would listen to for years. i don't listen to either
of these bands anymore ( i think the cure's recent stuff is actually quite pathetic and
whiny) but they really started my life long passion for music, which
is so broad now it includes punk, electronic music (in its various forms), samba, old jazz,
old blues, old country. everyday i find a new discovery...

p.s. I was kind of a late bloomer when it came to music so I got this album about 3 years after its release oh well.
p.p.s. I used to be a huge fan of Radiohead too but then I got OK Computer last year and did not like it at all. I've listened to it about a billion times to try to "get" it but it's still boring as hell. Everyone I talk to says it's brilliant. Any thoughts?

The first time I really got into music was when my mom introduced me to Billie Joe one christmas. I don't really remember how old I was (I'm 17 now). I thought he was great. I loved the piano thing. Granted, I don't listen to him anymore, I have no albums of his, but it's the first time I really listened to music.
Right now it's the Dave Matthews Band who awes me, and has been for a while. Aside from Boys II Men, they are the only band that has gotten me so obessed over their music. They are brilliant! I have every album, my school notebooks are and locker are plastered with pictures of the band, as is my room, and they are the most played CDs in my collection. I LOVE music, and my CDman is pretty much glued to my ears. I HAVE to take it and my cds everywhere, especially since I walk to work, and run erands at work (I don't drive; I walk, even in 120 degree wether, with jeans on....), I have to have my music!! DMB is usually what I listen to, although I also love Fastball, Metallica, Beastie Boys, Eve 6, Brandy, etc. I love everything!
I also love Ben Folds Five, Fiona Apple, and Tori Amos. I think I love the piano playing the most. Is it because of my Billy Joe days?! And, BFF is so cool; funny, talented, etc.... Email me at DancingNancies@Yada-yada.com!!!!!
Today, I've been listening to music almost non stop. First, it was the Disturbing Behavior Soundtrack, then Jonny Lang (a way cool blues singer; I love blues and Jazz, too!), the Eve 6, then Eagle Eye Cherry, and now Dave Matthews Band! Next will probably be Metallica.... Hmmm....
