To escape the Pixies rejoining fuelled minds...
Its kinda interesting to delve at the state of music you once listened to when you were young and think about what you listen to now...how the hell did it all transfer
Can you still listen to that music?
I still listen to Kraftwerk...But i cant understand the rest.

thankfully, i'm not too embarressed of the music i listened to when i was younger. granted, there were the jr. high/high school journey and foreigner concerts... but that was just peer pressure. the best stuff i heard/saw back then was cheap trick, van halen, ufo, ozzy w/randy, judas priest from british steel through screaming for vengeance... good loud rock music.
but one day i came home from the record store with two cut-out discs, pretenders 1 and never mind the bollocks. that was pretty much it, that and seeing u2 on the war tour on my birthday in '83. all my old friends by that time were just hitting the bong and listening to the scorpions, and that bored the hell out of me... so bring on the punk and new wave.
then i got into the clash, the jam, echo & the bunnymen, then the replacements, husker du, r.e.m., then the pixies, wonder stuff, janes addiction, then soundgarden, ween, pavement... and now we're in the 00's and i'm all about frank black, malkmus, still ween, guided by voices.
so really, i can't say anything that i've been into since i was a kid really makes me cringe. okay, well... i did actually pay money to see april wine... gimme a break, i was just a kid.
it wasn't anything about anything |

first LP purchase: rolling stones' exile on main street
-I was 11 years old when it came out and it was on sale at
'Licorice Pizza' -a record store chain around los angeles
at the time.
listened to and purchased all the basics for that era at
that time. graduated to punk - post punk (skids, buzzcocks and magazine)
and then to americana post punk (whatever)like: X, wall of voodoo
(Stan Ridgeway)dream syndicate, fear, gun club, minutemen, HuskerDu
Blasters etc.
funny thing is i was discovering early hip hop, beats and house etc.
after moving to chicago when the pixies happened so i slightly missed
their heyday -only in that i didn't get to an early gig which is a shame.
the evolution continues -i could possibly qualify as a junior musicologist (whatever that is).

we pretty much thought that was the coolest shit at that time.

In high school I was all about Red Hot Chili Peppers and Pearl Jam. Neither of which I LOVE now, but they opened the door to more variety for me, which was awesome. Until then everyone I knew was into things like the Indigo Girls & James Taylor. I needed to bust outta that for sure. I could be a folk chick somewhere now, which wouldda been frightening.

Perhaps they did - but like I said FOR ME they opened many. And I was 15 and lived in rural Vermont - I wasn't the most worldly person in the world.
Everything that happens to you gets you where you are, so I wouldn't be here without their "bad 70's shit rock".

I was'nt being smart! I grew up in Dublin, so I'd probably be considered unworldly by you!...Actually, I like some of Pearl Jam's songs...but overall, they're annoying!
I keep makin' unworldly spelling mistakes(hence the editing!)....

I'll guarantee I was the only one in my 5th. grade class that knew all the words to 'Starship Trooper' and 'Yours is no Disgrace' from The Yes Album. That was the first 'real' LP I ever got, in '72. Before that was mainly singles, but I do remember having the Batman and Green Hornet LP's back when those shows were on. Of course, being a kid, those got wrecked, which sucks since they are worth plenty now. I did not have any Beatles stuff, but they were always on the radio, or friends had the records so it really didn't matter. Some of the singles I had/still have: Layla, Venus, Smoke on the Water, Saturday Night's Alright for Fightin', Pleasant Valley Sunday, Vehicle, Hurdy Gurdy Man, Brown Sugar, 25 or 6 to 4, so many more...Then to go to Punk and everything else by the end of the decade.
Looking back at that now, that was a better time to be an impressionable teenager than it would be today. Waaaay Better...

| Krist Novaselic of Nirvana was apparently teased in high-school for wearing drainpipe trousers(as oppossed to flares). Hurdy Gurdy Man...I remember seeing(and loving)the video of The Butthole Surfers version of this...did'nt know it was a Donovan song!(He lives in Ireland by the way-I know a couple of people who've met him once or twice, the great Dylan plagerist!)....speaking of Butthole Surfers, a cool Simpsons moment-Tod Flander's wearing a B.S t-shirt:"Look, daddy, I'm a butthole surfer!" "That's nice,son!" |

I didn't have much interest in popular music (or any music) when I was younger (about 0 through 10). I didn't own any records. Occasionally I'd hear a song I liked, but nothing ever stuck. Then MC Hammer's "U Can't Touch This" came out and I thought it was one of the greatest songs I'd ever heard. It seemed so tough and confident (can you believe that?) and I had the "Please Hammer Don't Hurt 'Em" on tape. I started listening to popular music stations around this time, but still didn't get into much music, just started to know popular music a little better. Then I heard Sir Mix a Lot's "Baby Got Back" and thought it was the best song ever recorded. I dubbed that song from my friend and listened to it over and over and over and began watching MTV all the time, hoping to see the video (little did I know it was banned from daytime airplay). I came to learn about a lot of other music at this time, and got into Boyz II Men. I also had Michael Jackson's Dangerous on tape and listened to that a lot. I began listening to Top 40 radio, and thought songs like "Whoomp! There it is" were really something special. Eventually, I noticed there was this really hardcore form of rap that seemed to be centered around Dr. Dre and Snoop and really got into that, even though I couldn't buy the tapes because my parents would never allow that so I had people dub it for me who always gave me horribly crappy dubbings with a lot of blurps in the music and often half a side of the album would be missing, but I still listened to Dre and Snoop all the time. Eventually, I managed to buy a copy of the Chronic on tape and still have the receipt to this day (it's dated sometime in 1994), though the actual tape is no longer around. Anyway, somehow in the middle of my fascination with gangsta rap, I got into the Beatles. Everyone at my school was into rap and r & b, there was very little rock music there. The Beatles were definitely not popular with the kids there. My love for the Beatles music eventually lead to me getting into Nirvana (at which time I completely abandoned hip hop and all that, embarassed that I had once been into that music) then I got into Smashing Pumpkins, then Metallica, then Weezer, then Ween, then Sublime, then Queen, then Frank Zappa, then Ween again, then the Pixies, then Pavement... that brings us about up to date.

Let me note that the bands I mention are bands that I was REALLY into. Bands were I would seek out there entire discography. I listened to plenty of other bands heavily, but the ones I have listed are ones that had plenty of songs that I couldn't wait to get home from school and listen to. My Smashing Pumpkins obsession was really bad. If I read an interview with Billy Corgan where he stated his opinion on something, that became my opinion on that issue or band or topic, whatever. I would write his lyrics on everything, tape them up around the school, cuz I felt they were the most beautiful words ever written. I wanted so badly to be him. I would have dreams that I met him and would try to say, "I just want you to know how you have perfectly captured the way I feel and set it to music. Your music has meant so much to me. I just wanted you to know that" but I would always stutter or it would come out all weird. I just sat in my room obsessing about Smashing Pumpkins. I didn't have any desire to be at school, and I didn't want to hang out with anyone from school. I just wanted to listen to Smashing Pumpkins. And I did. Now I look back and wish I'd gotten out a bit more at the age of 16.

I had a thing for rap at it's inception. The really early stuff. I still have the la-di-da-di 12" if that gives you any reference. Let's see....Art of Noise was hot. Wall of Voodoo. But from age 7 to 13 or so, it was all Beatles and Stones. I had an aunt and uncle with a serious record collection that I would constantly pilfer.

erm, when i was between 10 - 12, it was a real mix of stuff like ; pulp, blur, the clash, cure, depeche mode, placebo, manic street preachers, ya know, stuff like that.
Early teens ; nirvana (oh what a surprise), hole, tad, paw, mudhoney, smashing pumpkins, greenday, manic street preachers, rem, placebo, erm...probably loads more.
and in the past 3 years or so, i have got more and more in to older american indie bands such as husker du, SONIC YOUTH, pavement, fugazi, all that kind of stuff, as well as a lot of things such as Velvets, beatles, beach boys, led zep, the who, bowie...
I had a big glam rock stage at one point to, like mark bolan, et al, and also i though i was a real hardcore punk at one point, and very in to 'real' 70s punk, as well as Oi! bands...
And then I went in to the light..

When I was young I pretty much listened to what other people listened to in my family. When I was around my dad, I was exposed to classic rock and oldies. Around my mom and sisters was more rap and pop radio. I think my first rock tape that I ever wanted was Babes in Toyland back when I was 11. Then one day, in the car with my sister who was listening to Nevermind, I heard "Breed" for the first time, and my life was changed forever...Nirvana became the only band I listened to for the next 3 years, then the Pixies and FB then music just exploded for me, and I started to listen to all sorts of bands.

I forgot to mention my Michael Jackson phase...woooops. That was around the 2nd grade when The Jacksons: An American Family miniseries was on ABC...miniseries' are responsible for some of my musical obsessions, like The Beach Boys.

When I was like ten years old or so I bought Rush - "Moving Pictures" on vinyl from Target, my first record purchase ever. The cute cashier looked at me and said "aren't you a little young for Rush?" The inherent humor lost on my serious young mind, I just looked her in the eye and said "no."

Hey El Barto - Babes in Toyland at 11 was pritty cool.
The post - being 21 my idea of young was 10, thus kraftwerk was the only decent music i had at that age and can still listen to now.
Up until the time i was 18 and into Punk, i had a strong opinion that any Slow music was Crap and id never listen to any of it...Until Where is my mind got me.
