I don't see how a band could change my life

1-Breaking Benjamin ( I started listening to them because a girl I like liked them, She didn't like me back but her taste in music changed my life)
2-Chevelle
3-Bob Dylan ( Got me to think more about life and the world around me)
4-Rise Against
5-Billy Joel
6-Jack's Manniquin (This band has since mellowed out my musical tastes since I left High School, used to be all about Metal, Rock and Alternative Rock)
7-The Goo Goo Dolls

I can only think of those bands for now.

[QUOTE="imaps3fanboy"]:D how am I a hipster?NukaNuked

ahh.. I tried to not be the typical "metalhead" so I didn't go that route by listing off a bunch of underground metal bands :D

[QUOTE="NukaNuked"][QUOTE="imaps3fanboy"]:D how am I a hipster?imaps3fanboy

ahh.. I tried to not be the typical "metalhead" so I didn't go that route by listing off a bunch of underground metal bands :D

yeah, I'm surprised you don't have much doom metal in your list though...

[QUOTE="imaps3fanboy"]

[QUOTE="NukaNuked"] I was joking but it mostly due to those last comment (the popular one) considering those bands (except a few) are actually fairly popular.NukaNuked

ahh.. I tried to not be the typical "metalhead" so I didn't go that route by listing off a bunch of underground metal bands :D

Black Sabbath
Nile
Edenbridge
Bruce Springsteen
Immortal
Marduk
Megadeth
Sepultura
Hour of Penance
Burzum
Behemoth
Falconer

(most of these are because they were a big part of what got me into a certain genre/subgenre of music)

My list would just be 20 instances of Andrew W.K.

1. The Strokes. Turned me on to good music and influenced me to wear cooler clothes..

2. Muse. Got me into guitar+piano and made me like classical music.

I think I became a lot more bitter after liking Radiohead and The National. Hard to explain how or why.

i only have a couple bands that have changed my life. so im going to post those, instead of just posting one band that changed my life, then 19 favorite bands.

Disturbed. got me into music of my own. before that, i praised everything rap and just went with the flow. never really getting into a specific singer/band. when i heard "Inside the Fire" by Disturbed, i liked it and decided to do something ive never done before; look into the artist and listen to more of their songs. it was then that i started really appreciating music. Disturbed opened up the rock world to me and i love it. much better than the rap i was listening to(not bashing rap, i still like rap to an extent). in a sense, Disturbed was my gateway to music.

Tool. Such deep lyrics. really made me reflect alot on my life, and let me push away some of my more bad qaulities. just an overall amazing band. i spent many a night(not always sober) just listening and enjoying Maynards music. Tool helped me find myself.

Hollywood Undead. Rap/Rock fusion at its best. i absolutely love their sound. first song i heard was "Dead in Ditches". after i heard that song, i instantly fell in love with them. though at the time, they only had like 3 songs out. so i waited for a couple years until they finally released Swan Songs and that really cemented my fanship. SS is amazing. i love their rap/rock fusion. they do it perfectly. while some of the songs are party songs, they do have some good deep songs as well. Then fast forward a couple years to American Tragedy. absolutely love the New album. they lost one of the founding members, but his replacement is imo, better and fits the bands sound better. Hollywood Undead, is the first band that one song got me hooked. also the first band that i love every song they have made so far. Truly my all time favorite band.

1) Depeche Mode

2) The Cure

3) Smashing Pumpkins

4) Soundgarden

5) Michael Jackson

6) Radiohead

7) Tears For Fears

Katy Perry and Lady Gaga. both very great pop artists. kept me from outright dissing pop music, and broadened my horizons.

Probably two of the most talented modern pop artists. I know I could get raped for saying that but Lady Gaga had extreme talent before she sold herself to the corporate machine. She knows how to make music but she also knows how to make it sellable.

Definitely not 20, but I can trace my maturity and musical awakening with the artists I listened too.

5th grade-- New Found Glory, Good Charlotte

7th grade-- Green Day (slightly better punk)

Freshmen Year-- Red Hot Chili Peppers, Aerosmith

Sophomore year-- Radiohead+Mile Davis (suddenly I get real into music around this point)

Junior Year--Sonic Youth, Pavement, some post rock like GY!BE

Senior Year-- Experimental, avant noise and ambient groups. Lots more jazz.

20?! How the hell can that many change your life? I'm just gonna list Metallica because they started me on the road to metal.

Um.....No band has chnged my life.

blink 182

Angels & Airwaves

Linkin Park

POD

A Day to Remember

Kings of Leon

and Kid Cudi (looks at sig and avi)
