Cygnus 2112 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 My parents took me to Rock Fest when I was 8. Chilliwack, Trooper, Prism, Hotel California (Eagles Cover Band), Burton Cummings, BTO, Dr. Hook, April Wine were some of the big bands that were there. I was hooked that weekend. Next year we went again and they had Loverboy, Nazareth, Kim Mitchell, Stampederes, Jerry Doucette, Georgia Satellite, Three Dog Night. These are the two weekends that got me into Music. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdhonda Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 ELO, either TIME or ELDORADO. Also, at around the same time: Queen (mainly Night At The Opera), Rush (2112, or ATWAS) and some soundtracks for the Evangelion anime. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Since I'm ancient compared to most of you, my love for music was instilled in me by my older sister who played nonstop the soundtrack from the (at the time) Broadway play West Side Story. I was about five years old. The rest is history. :codger: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost In Xanadu Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) Music in general - likely MJ's Thriller. I wore that album out. One song that really grew on my was The Girl is Mine... which opened up my love for McCartney and the Beatles.... and rock as a whole Edited October 21, 2014 by Lost In Xanadu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamie Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 well when I was about 8 or 9 i was obsessed with Aerosmith. I remember getting a CD of Devil's Got A New Disguise for Christmas and I listened to it a lot. But I've been into music for as long as I can remember, and it's always been whatever my parents liked. Even when I was a little kid I got into various bands on my own, and they were all bands that my parents liked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, the next cassette I bought was a Queen album "A night at the Opera" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
len(songs) Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Moody Blues - Days Of Future Passed I don't love this album as much as I used to, but it's what really got me interested in music beyond what comes on the radio. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rutlefan Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Combination of Simon and Garfunkel's Greatest Hits and Around the World with Three Dog Night when I was in second grade (parents' albums). Made me music obsessed. Obsession moved to Elton John, then Kiss, and eventually Zeppelin, Rush, Aerosmith, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KennyLee Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 I don't even know... I listened to my older siblings albums like The Monkees, REO Speedwagon, Bad Company, etc. No surprise that the album that pushed me over the cliff to start playing music and dedicating every spare moment to it was Hemispheres. :D 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relayer2112 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 I have to thank my brother for my initial musical tastes. I was the athlete and he was the artist. I heard him listening to these great 8 track tapes (yes...I'm that old) and as he started progressing to standard cassette tapes, he would give me his old 8 tracks. One of them was Moving Pictures. My life was changed forever. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
