Now you know how I feel every time I have a conversation with you.

My dad used to play alot of Queen and Elvis. The main songs that stuck out when I was just 3 - 4 years old were, Way Down by Elvis, and the end part from Bohemian Rhapsody. I used to go crazy when they'd get played.
Then a few years later I got into Guns n Roses, and when I was about 7 or 8 we got our first CD player. I asked for the Waynes World soundtrack - not for the music, but because I was massively into that film when I was a kid. When I got the Waynes World soundtrack there was a song on there by Sabbath called Time Machine and it's still one of my favourite songs ever. Then I got the Beavis and Butthead CD which had Anthrax, White Zombie and Megadeth on there. Metal is good.

I love the fact that I'm getting my little niece and cousins listening to metal at an early age! She could sing breaking the law by the age of 4, and knew Iron Maiden as 'Eddie music'.

I listened to weird dance when I was like 8 then Green Day-POTUSA-Oasis and stuff when I was 12 then when I started smoking loads of weed I listened to Hip-Hop and drum and bass then back to punk then I heard Master Of Puppets and now I want to listen to metal long time.

haha long time.

rowry

Apart from the crap my Dad put me through, it was 1980 & The Police. Still love 'em now, spent £72 on a ticket to see them in September! Discovered Status Quo and Maiden in '83 and thrash about a year later.

I had literally no music taste when I was a kid.

I'd always get bought the Now 21 tapes.

Had a bit of New kids off the block

My first memories of music from when i was small, was my mum n dad playing stuff like neil diamond, glenn cambell and showaddywaddy, but i never really liked it, and music wasnt particularly important to me. then when i was 8, i went and purchased 2 records from a local shop with my pocket money : I was made for loving you by KISS, and The Golden Years EP by MOTORHEAD. Dont ask me why, because i dont know!!! I had never heard either of them, or any metal, but buy them i did, and i was then a metalhead, and still am to this day!!! God my mum was horrified ( she was a mod in the 60s). By 1980, i was in to sabbath and preist and my uncle even has a home video shot in 1980 ( i was 10) and i was wearing my first metal t-shirt, a priest british steel one . I have always liked being a greb!!!!!

The first record I remember buying was "Six White Boomers" by Rolf Harris... I must've been about 5 or 6. I got a Wombles LP for xmas 1974 and used to listen to GENESIS from time to time 'cos my older sister was into them. Only really liked the "Trespass" LP though, "The Knife" is still a fave track of mine today. I remember liking some of the CLASH records, but it wasn't really until MADNESS released "Baggy Trousers" that I really got into music. After that I got heavilly into punk - UK SUBS, THE EXPLOITED & VICE SQUAD.
IRON MAIDEN were the first Metal band I got into, heard "Twilight Zone" on the radio, so it was straight down my local record shop to buy "Killers". Caused a lot of amusement with all the heavy rockers at school, 'cos punks weren't supposed to like Metal...

Interesting thread here. Bands which got me listening to rock music would be bands which my parents liked

The Beatles.
Status Quo
Rainbow (my god parent was a a huge Rainbow fan)
Queen
and a band called Sad Cafe.


But i do remeber listening to Iron Maiden not knowing who they were in about 83, and i liked the song i heard. Also when growing up in my early teen i got into Sisters Of Mercy and they are still one of my favourate bands today. Had i never got into metal i might have become a Goth. I always liked the darkers side of the 80's new romanic stuff.

Also i was a big Madness fan and i never got into the who SKA thing. I hate SKa music as well.
