I found Radiohead under similar bands to Muse, and I really liked the song "Creep", so I started listening to their other stuff, and loved it.

Kurt Cobain wouldn't stop talking about Pixies and the Sonic Youth was in love with Dinosaur Jr. Didn't take much time for me to find them, really.

You just bought a Blind Guardian album randomly? Or did you have a reason?

I saw the video for "My Last Serenade" on Much Music USA (currently called FUSE) by Killswitch Engage and fell in love instantly.

My dad pretty much got into the whole rock and metal scene at a younger age, we were always listening to bands like Deep Purple, AC/DC, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden and Judas Priest.

Lets see... I was introduced to SA by a few friends on a forum another friend (who isn't a fan) posts in. Those guys (and one gal) were British if I recall. I know of only one person (in real life) that I communicate with on a fairly decent basis that knows of SA. Parents don't count.

That was my post taken off of the bands fansite forum. I am ISAFAce1.

(Yes, that was a reference to Fugazi).

I'm not sure how I found out about Sleater-Kinney though.

My mom was a Chili Peppers fan, so I listened to it when I was with her. Eventually when I started buying my own cd's, I got Bloodsugar Sexmagik (one of the older RHCP albums) and I knew that it was obviously the best album ever created, and that they're the best band ever assembled.

My other favorites are The Killers, I heard Mr. Brightside and went out and got Hot Fuss, and became a huuuge fan.

I listened a lot to Marilyn Manson when I was younger, and he said he liked Queens of the Stone Age, which probably is why I checked them out. They've been my absolute favourite band for years now.
