My parents always loved music, but I didn't really catch up until I was about fifteen. Before that, I listened to sub-par modern punk bands, in a casual way. Later I found a little band called Splashdown, and they completely turned my musical tastes upside down. They had middle-eastern, electro and trip-hop influences, and their songs still mean a lot to me.
I then moved on to lots of different stuff, like Portishead, Kate Bush, Sonic Youth, Cranberries and real old-school punk like The Clash, Dead Kennedys or The Replacements. Lately I've been listening to my father's old jazz records, I'm trying to have as much diversity as possible :)
