.. and yay did it start with the father, who was verrily into good rockin' base. From thence as a child, did it grow upon the watching the likes of ZZ Top on 'Friday Night Videos' in the land of the Kanuk. Yonder did it evolve from the days of skool when 'Def Leppard is soft, try this!' into Guns'n'Roses. Metallica was the next borne... Hitherto the first dark years of serfdom upon the minimum wage whenst Pearl Jam came unto Nirvana...

Etc...

I haven't looked back since!

Play it LOUD and keep it real!!

Rock on!!

I didn't have a tape player at that time, so my copy of Axe Attack is on (now sadly, VERY scratched) vinyl !!

Ahh so you bought the other copy!!

I seem to remember it being quite good!

The death of Freddie Mercury.

No, wait, hear me out

I never listened to music at all before that. Then, he died, and along came the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert. Metallica opened it with Enter Sandman, and that was all it took. I don't think I'd ever really listened to metal at all before.

Then, Monsters of Rock '94 sealed the deal- I listened to it all on the radio and what a bill... Therapy?, the Wildhearts, Headswim, Pantera, Sepultura, Aerosmith, Terrorvision, Biohazard, Pride and Glory, Skin (the proper Skin, not the Skunk Anansie bird) yep, and Extreme. I still listen to the recordings I made

That was what really opened my eyes, all those brilliant bands at their absolute best, wish like hell I'd been there. Therapy? and the Wildhearts, what a pair. "Greetings from rock and roll central... Yeah, ah, You're now watching the band... what's the savior of british rock. According to some people, we're the next Rolling Stones. But we're just a bunch of ****s at the end of the day, and what you give a **** for, we don't know"

...and if it takes me all my life, just to get you out of my head... I think, over the decade since, I've seen those two about 50 times.

Grew up in Peterborough, local radio (Hereward) had a good indie show (Mick and Sarah Jane I think). That got me in to "proper" music; wonderstuff, roses, cure, etc. That graduated me from Smash Hits to Select magazine (RIP), bought stuff they recommended.
Went to loads of gigs and discos at college, expanded my indie horizons and got in to some house/electronic stuff too. Since then its been swapping recommendations with mates.
Oh, and I've a wee brother 14 years younger who tells me who is good now, he got me in to bloc party and hope of the states, I educate him on Indie classics.

As a teenager while all the others were dancing round their handbags to disco I was into Zappa, Rory G, Hendrix, Pink Fairies, Quo, Deep Purple, Free, Zepplin, Floyd, Who, Alice Cooper to mention but a few - influenced by my big sis I spose.

Grew up listening to my Dad playing Classical piano and guitar, Im still into the above but also now very into Classical, Blues, Jazz, Funk, Soul anything that I can try

to play on the piano (or flute).
