music/bands you got into

pumpkingrrrl · 08-22-2005, 02:04 PM

...because of people you know?

My older brother influenced my love for a lot of 70's rock when i was younger: Kiss, Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, Cheap Trick, etc. and he also inspired my love for R.e.m.

A few friends have gotten me into more modern metal stuff like Slayer, Cradle of Filth, Dimmu Borgir, Iron Maiden, and Morbid Angel.

i haven't gotten into any bands, aside from the pumpkins, from my friends. i've gotten into most every band i listen to from the internet.

The older sibling response is probably pretty common, but my bro did introduce me to The Replacements and I will forever be in debt to him.
Also when I was in 7th grade my uncle gave me two cds for christmas that blew my mind, and to this day they are still two of my ultimate favorites - Jesus and Mary Chain - Psychocandy and The Pixies - Surfer Rosa. The greatest gift I ever recieved, hands down.

a kid on my schoolbus in 7th grade let me borrow a copy of 'goo' and it changed my life.

Based on these two bands, I would also recommend:
Satyricon
1349
Deeds of Flesh
Nile

korn, u2 and the red hot chili peppers. that's it, basically.

Krazee's Ghost · 08-24-2005, 03:57 PM

Every single one of them.

Well, except the Smashing Pumpkins and maybe a few others I can't think of.

But mostly every artist I listen to, I listen to because someone got me into them.

I can go down the list of all the bands I listen to and connect them with the person who put the cd in and said "Listen to this"

Krazee's Ghost · 08-24-2005, 03:58 PM

I think I'm just sentimental like that.

Just people on this board. None of my 'real' friends gotten me into any music because they don't really like music in the first place.

noyen got me into Godspeed and Mogwai

Suze got me into Belle and Sebastian

When my brothers came home for college they also brought alot of goth rock with them. so I got into the banshees, the cure and later on bauhaus from them. as well as music for the masses by depeche mode because it was out at the time. what a great album.

You need new friends.

My friend Nicki got me into the Smiths, Broken Social Scene, the Faint, and more.

That's about it, actually. My other friends either already listened to the same bands as me or never heard of the bands I listened to. They could try to turn me onto bands like the Foo Fighters or the Beatles but they'd be wasting their time.
