What music did you listen to as a kid

[Brás Garcia de Mascarenhas]

As a kid I would listen to what my parents had available in their audio cassettes at home, Pink Floyd, Supertramp, Dire Straits, Barclay James Harvest, Scorpions, Queen, Neil Young, Santana, Eric Clapton, Joe Cocker...these are some of the groups and musicians I remember listening to.

Jordy Claude, Pochette Surprise:

Spoiler!

Also the music my parents used to listen, like Pink Floyd Another Brick in the Wall and Sting Fields of Gold.

When I was like 9 and 10 I really liked Ace of Base
This is actually my first time seeing the music video for this song. lol



I also liked Jewel at that age.

Pieces of You was my first CD i had ever gotten. I used some Christmas money to buy it.




Edit: I made the mistake of listening to the Jewel song. Now it is stuck in my head and i hate it.
I am going to go listen to some Korpiklaani now. XD

What bands did you first begin to listen to? I didn't like the hair metal bands that were thankfully on their way out when I began taking an interest in music.

Only the coolest most underground shit my nigga like Chili peppers before they blew up and shiznit but that just lead to my journey deep underground so chili peppers and shit etc.. was like my skate punk music :

Then straight underground in my Indie rock stage :

^ Too many bands to play here just a random sampling

Then I went into my neo-hippy underground rave PLUR illegal 90s done every drug known to man phase :

^ Brohamulous Rex, man 1990s underground RAVE SCENE NEW YORK, CALIFORNIA, England the shit was off the hook modern EDM sold out scene cannot hold a candle the insanity and awesomeness that was the rave scene in the 1990s

Nigga, bullshit. We're the same age. You'd have to be really young to have liked Chill Peppers before they blew up. Maybe you had an older sibling but you'd have to be in 2nd or 3rd grade to have known them when they were 'underground.'

Anyway, at my job when I was 16 I was introduced to SKA by co-workers.

Guy at the indie store said I was the only guy who ever bought Tom Wait albums from him, lol. He always has the best lyrics.

Was "really young" a typo? I'm testing my grip on reality here.

I listened to a lot of Led Zeppelin and The Doors but especially The Doors. When I finally had money to throw around I bought anything I could of The Doors. I had some obscure stuff from them. I might have lost much of it. I'd need to look. An ex-gf's mother threw out a couple of boxes of my books and CDs that I had stored in her basement.





Unfortunately, it appears Led Zepplin was, um, 'borrowing' a lot from other musicians.

What I mean is he'd be too young to be aware of the band when they were obscure unless he had an older sibling who knew about them.

Oh, okay. I was just surprised to learn that they started in the '80s, way before you and I were born (cough).
