My favorite band is Creed and the first time I can remember hearing them was on the radio when I heard their song "Higher." After that I was hooked.
CAN YOU TAKE ME...

I love them. A very similar vocalist to Eddie from Pearl Jam, though.

My favorite band is the Beatles and I discovered them through seeing things about the Rock Band game (which I bought) and getting interested, so I looked up one of their songs on YouTube.
you didn't hear of them before that game?!

My dad isn't the biggest Beatles fan.

He turns the radio to a different station each time he hears one of their songs on it.

My favorite band is the Moody Blues. I first heard the song "Forever Autumn", sung by Justin Hayward (the lead singer) when listening to an album he helped Jeff Wayne with in the 70's. (The album was "Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds"). Then I looked up the Moody Blues on Youtube and heard the song "Your Wildest Dreams" and I was hooked.

For enjoyment:

My favourite band is Megadeth, and I discovered them because a friend of mine left his Rust in Peace CD in my CD player and I thought "eh, why not." I fucking love that album so much.

Favourite band=Rise Against.
Overheard my sister listening to them and decided they were awesome. This was way back when they released their first album. Also best live band have seen. The only one that came close was Turbowolf
I'd have to say Rise Against too.
I don't even remember how I found them... I just remember listening to them.

It switches ever once in a while. My current favorites are Rise Against, Bad Religion, NoFX, The (International) Noise Conspiracy, Dropkick Murphys, and the World Inferno Friendship Society.

My top favorite usually switches between Rise Against and Bad Religion.
I. Love. Them.

Mine is Rush.

My dad played classic rock bands like them as far back as i can remember. I grew up listening to bands like Boston, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Metallica, Fleetwood Mac, and of course Rush.

When I got to the age where I started to understand music, Rush, for me, stood above the rest.

There also one of the best live bands......
[small] this is my favorite song [/small]

A few years ago, I was cruising around some metal music videos through the related links, and I saw 'Mastodon - Blood and Thunder' on the side so I thought, Why not? And that's when it all started.

Scale the Summit was discovered through last.fm after I searched for Between the Buried and Me, which I saw someone mention on Ultimate Guitar.

Without the internet, I'd probably be listening to Black Eyed Peas right now...

My favorite band right now is Four Year Strong. I was introduced to them by my ex-girlfriend, and I've loved listening to them ever since. My other favorite band, Pearl Jam, was discovered after a lengthy breakup with another ex. So yeah, music lets me drown my sorrows. XD

Nope. It changes with your post count. The more you post, the more notable sounding of a title you get.

Soundgarden, how I found out of them? Linkin Park, I am serious. When I still listind to shitty music like Linkin Park I oversaw a tour Linkin Park had, with Chris Cornell there. Seeing the commercial, I fell in love with the mans voice, then realized what I had been listing to was awful. I find it funny to tell the truth.

My favorite band is Evanescence. I discovered them when I got up early one morning when I was 12 and turn on VH1 Jump Start (which they just show a bunch of music videos) and I saw there music video for Bring Me to Life and I was hooked.

A trailer for SSX on tour. Listened to that song for over a year before finding out who made it.
