dazedcat Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Being old has its' advantages. Personally speaking, The Who and Cream. Both of these bands showed that pop music could be more than the three minute song. Both helped create the genre of "rock music". Both bands opened many musical doors for me and many many others. Other bands took what they started and ran with it. For me though, it all started with these two groups. Regards; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leddy Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Well Zeppelin the most in popular music back in the early 80's, but things from the funky guitar in Sister Sledge songs to Yes and 20 min epics help form my influences. I do like a little of most geres but nobody had a more an impact then Zeppelin even if as a guitarist I am more influenced by others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reswati Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 The first music I ever heard were the Beatles, and I still respect them. After that phase came Kiss who showed me how to put on a great rock show (and yes, indeed, i also wanted to be as cool as Ace, haha, guess I'm not the only one here) My late teen years were mindfucked by people like Slayer, Anthrax, Metallica and Celtic Frost....somehow that kinda metal gave me the right "fuck you" attitude. Then came Led Zeppelin who gave me the magick and the Hammer of the gods. Also big thanks for their influences to: The amazing Jeff Buckley, wherever he may be.... Huun Huur Tu and Yat Kha for their otherworldly vibe Ziggy Stardust, Deep Purple Mk 2 and 3,and (the drugs years)Aerosmith Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninelives Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 My mom for introducing me to folk and classical music and my brother and sister for rock. Hard to say what band was the first I really was taken to but I remember listening to Zep as a five year old and being pretty blown away even though I didn't "get" it so to speak. Nowadays I would say Robert has been a big influence on what I listen to as far as introducing me to a lot of genres I wasn't that familiar with which just opens some fantastic journeys once you discover one artist, suddenly a ton of others you hear.

pagemccartney95 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 My first favorite band was Aerosmith; I am still a major fan. Then came the Beatles, who introduced me to '60's music. After that came Led Zeppelin, and the majority of the other music I listen to. , Jo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmie ray Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I grew up listening to old fashioned country, as a result of my parents listening to it constantly. It seems that the farther back you go with country music, the more it sounds like the blues. If you can get past all the yodeling that Jimmie Rodgers does, you'll hear chords and verses that were implemented by many of the blues based musicians of the 60's and 70's. The influence of black blues musicians is well known in this way, but usually "country" has been associated with white performers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, which makes it not so surprising for Robert to have done the album he did with Alison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redeyedrichard Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 You may want to rethink that. The 80's were chock full of great music, seriously. Yeah, I missed out the 80s at first. I do listen to some 80s stuff but it doesn't take much space in my collection. Come to think of it, Nirvana started in the 80s, so did Dream Theater.

Kiwi_Zep_Fan87 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 BUMP For me, the three bands who made me fall in love with rock and roll and music in general were : Queen, The Jimi Hendrix Experience and The Ventures. Queen was the first ever rock and roll band I listened to. I heard my first Queen song when I was barely 5 years old. It was Seven Seas Of Rhye. I remember listening to Queen vividly when I was a little girl, more than any other band. Listening to Queen, I gradually began exploring the works of other progressive rock bands like Genesis. Also, due to the fact that Queen incorporated Opera styled music in their very early works, that led me to actually take an interest in Classical and Folk music. Thanks dad for introducing me to Queen, in the first place! At the age 6, I was introduced to the fascinating world of psychedelic rock when I heard Purple Haze for the first time. When I first got to hear that song, I was blown away. My dad recalls that I was just starring at the stereo after the song ended with my mouth wide open! But can you blame me for reacting that way? Even now, at 23, after expanding my music tastes way beyond just artists from the 60's and 70's, I still am fascinated by Jimi Hendrix and what he had to offer! I still can't thank my dad enough! Hendrix made me get into bands like Cream and The Doors. Hendrix also made me take an immense interest in the blues by checking out works by Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters, Robert Johnson, etc. The Ventures happen to be my mom's favourite band of all time. The first track I remember listening to when I was little was "The Guitar Boogie Shuffle". My mom has a really huge collection of records containing instrumental hits by bands like The Ventures. My late great grandmom was also a fan! My mom also loves other Garage Rock bands from the 60's like The Sonics. Her tastes in music played a major role in influencing me to explore the amazing genre "Garage Rock". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black_Dog_90 Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Well I've started listening to the music through rock music from a very early age. Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple were one of the first bands and artists I discovered. Of course before that I had been listening mostly to pop music on the radio but soon after that I discovered rock music. That was the music I really liked. And then The Beatles came and all other bands I'm still listening to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
