Depeche Mode New Order The Cure The Smiths Duran Duran Tears For Fears Smashing Pumpkins Soundgarden Alice in Chains Pearl Jam Stone Temple Pilots Guns N' Roses
Many of these bands are still my favorites to this day.
My dad constantly listened to Dire Straits, The Rolling Stones and the Grateful Dead. I like the Stones and especially Dire Straits, but the Dead didn't rub off on me.
Grow up? As a kid, I'd only listen to the radio station my parents would listen and my dad's Pink Floyd... but the first music that I really got into hard were Our Lady Peace and Blink 182 in High School.
I grew up listening to all the commercial trash that was around at the time, and actually became quite alienated to music for a bit because I thought it was all that bad. It was UK pop like S-Club 7, Steps, Five, Bewitched, Boyzone, The Backstreet Boys, et cetera.
Eww...
EDIT: I didn't really get into what I love now until I was about 13 or 14. How bad is that? :(
the band that got me into the music i listen to today is linkin park. i hardly ever listen to them now, but they were the first rock band that i listened to.
