That One Guy Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 (edited) As a music forum, we talk music. Many of us have introduced other TRFers to artists, and been introduced to ones that end up becoming our own favorites! Feel free to credit your influencers here! For me, bean-tor - Beck, Judas Priest; Emerson, Lake & PalmerDay Of Light - KMFDM, Arcade Fire, GarbageUnion 5-3992 - David Bowie, Devin Townsend, Porcupine Tree, Queens of the Stone Age, Steven Wilson (and probably more <3 )Permanent-Rush - Cheap Trick Probably more. TRF Chat (thanks for keeping that dead, 73) was a great place to discuss and simultaneously listen to music, and I know additional forgotten souls there directed me to good music!

Day of Light Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 TOG got me into Alice in Chains, Stone Temple Pilots, and Steven Wilson. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeduck Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 I got myself into classical music in 1715 and the rest is history. I didn't get into jazz until 1932 too though, so I'm a bit of a latecomer there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union 5-3992 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 treeduck got me into Hemispheres (I had never heard the album when I first joined) TOG got me into Stone Temple Pilots, Eazy-E, and Beck, and Primus Mick got me into Tom Waits, Elton John, 90s Paul McCartney, and Prince Gotta give PolarizeMe credit for getting me into ISIS (lol), Pelican, Katatonia, and Opeth And Mr. Not is responsible for me finally liking Radiohead. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Not Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 It's a good thread idea but it makes me feel lame for not being more active in MOTS and spending more of my spare time getting into new artists, like I said I've been meaning to do again for years. Back int the day TJ got me into Kate Bush, Porcupine Tree, Caravan, Yes, and more. RushGoober's radio show inspired me to look into all sorts of weird obscure oldies. Mick got me into Gentle Giant and also showed me a few songs I like (In Every Dream a Heartache comes to mind) ghostworks often shares some cooler more obscure shiet - check out Underworld and Neil Finn's HomesickAlien and PolarizeMe have gotten me into too many bands to list, so I'll just do two ea--HA: Radiohead and Karnivool--PM: DEG and every Aaron Turner project to be continued...

blueschica Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Someone or someone(s) got me into Iron Maiden, although I don't remember who ??!! Probably Rod ?? Excellent find, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cat 3 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Lucas got me into The Dead Boys. Great punk band from the Midwest who were around the CBGBs scene in the 1970s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 ReGor (Cat3) turned me onto Kings X Various members introduced me to Styx and Kansas (didn't like either straight away) J2112YZ (never get it right!) introduced me to Savatage and reminded me of a lot kf bands I used to enjoy, but had forgotten of (plus I think he was the one who reminded me of Nevermore and that was wonderful). Mick guided me through Dream Theater and many other bands I either had casual interest in or strongly disliked (I've done likewise for him too). Mr. Not (I think) was there when I got into Sonata Arctica and he really helped me get into them through a lot of spirited discussion! Narps got me enthusiastic for Yes and that was a real fun musical journey. Treeduck has been a fun source of wisdom in regards to metal. Can't think of any bands he introduced to me, but his enthusiasm got me to try a lot of metal bands I knew of but didn't know (Judas Priest and Megadeth come to mind). Love this forum! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible airwave Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 I don’t remember any TRFers but this board got me into Mastodon in 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J2112YYZ Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 (edited) J2112YZ (never get it right!) introduced me to Savatage and reminded me of a lot kf bands I used to enjoy, but had forgotten of (plus I think he was the one who reminded me of Nevermore and that was wonderful). Kf bands? Yes, I was the one who reminded you of Nevermore. I'm the only one who does that since nobody knows who they are lol. I would say that you definitely made me a fan of Swallow The Sun, Oceans Of Slumber and Tribulation. There's plenty of other bands we like that our discussions of help to continue my love for them or reignite it. Treeduck and The Cat got me to give Thin Lizzy as serious listen last year and I finally came to appreciate how good the band was and the influence they had on hard rock and metal. I also got into Haken because of this forum. I'm sure there's more. For some reason The Cat's recent Billy Idol marathon has got me interested in what he sounds like beyond the hits. The best musical discussions I've had have been on this forum in the nine years (I think) that I have been here.

I love our chats because we have similar metal tastes which is nice as much of what we enjoy is hardly Rush like! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
