[Vimbert]

A steady stream of country assaulted my delicate ears during childhood, but then my brothers introduced me to the healing light of Flogging Molly and Foo Fighters.

 

[Shoggoth2588]

My parents split so:

Dad: Tupac, Biggie-Smalls, Black Sabbath, NIN

Mom: country music. Every male sounds the same, Every female sounds the same ... to me anyway

[Auron555]

My dad played extreme amounts of Todd Rundgren, followed by Rush, the Who, Genesis, BNL, some Beatles...
My mom listens to U2 mostly, and I've just started getting into them.
Before that I'd been in a crazy 70s phase, essentially any band in the 70s/80s was awesome. Now I'm still into that classic rock as well as current alternative/general rock, but I've been getting more into metal. Iron Maiden, Megadeth, that sort of thing. Considering buying some Kansas, Aerosmith, Black Sabbath records in the future.

 

[TenaciousP45]

The Beatles,
THE WHO, (YAH!)
Def Leppard.
Bob Dylan,
Eagles,
Jimi Hendrix
Journey,
Judas Priest,
Led Zeppelin,
Metallica,
Motley Crue,
Motorhead,
Peter Frampton,
&
Queen

My father raised me on none other than the fab four themselves The Beatles. He was a big fan of them while they were still together (When they came to Australia his mother let him wag school so he could see the Beatles coming in live on TV) so all throughout my childhood he was playing their songs, talking about the band themselves and sometimes doing things like taking me out one night to see a proffessional Beatles impersonation show where most of their classics were played while on a floating stage in Darling Harbour, with hundreds of fans sitting along the pier. Or us paying tribute at the strawberry fields monument in central park when we went to New York city.

In fact a few months ago I had to do a music assignment on a rock band of my choice, me and my father used up most of the weekends I had to put together a small mockumentary going from the days of being the Quarrymen to the day they performed on the Abbey road studios roof. We'd actually gotten Beatles Rockband a day or so before we shot the final scene so we decided to mention the game and have a shot of me playing hello goodbye.

So I was raised on The Beatles and I'm still a huge fan of them.


EDIT:

but then my brothers introduced me to the healing light of Flogging Molly

FLOGGING MOLLY RULES! \m/

 

[thylasos]

I had absolutely no musical education, besides listening to Wogan in the car to school, so I basically started with Iron Maiden when I was 13, and moved from there.

 

[Verbal Samurai]

I really didn't get much into music when I was young...until I hear Nirvana's Nevermind album.

 

[Snowalker]

Creedance Clearwater Revival.
