It was the story I heard of girls flashing Bon Jovi their titties at their shows that made me want to become a musician.

matchbox twenty (then, matchbox 20) - Yourself Or Someone Like You

Your Rob-loyalty nearly inspires me to point out that I loved Bread when I was a kid. Nearly.

I even bought his solo disc, Phil. Though I have yet to listen to it...

But I am here because of them and for that, I cannot hate them.

But Stacey, did you also purchase the "bonus" disc that Target was selling???

hehe

Actually...

No, no I did not.

Enigma - The Cross of Changes

I was very passive about music until I bought that album back in the late 90s.

Smashing Pumpkins - "Disarm"

I was 12 and trying to find some tape that I could record over (I can't remember why), and I put on a bunch of videos my brother recorded. The first one that came on was I think Nine Inch Nails' "March of the Pigs", but I fastforwarded half a minute and then came "Disarm". It was music unlike anything I'd ever heard, with the bells and tympani and strings and such, but it was Billy's voice, and the "ooo-we-ooo-we-ooo. The year's burn" in the chorus that really fucked with me. I kept playing that video over and over until finally I went out and got the cassette.

Before that I kind of liked what my brother liked, which was grunge stuff like Nirvana and Stone Temple Pilots. But I didn't really like it that much.

Damn.

I've never understood that, except conceptually.

My love for The Smiths has also been about cleverness, wordplay, great guitar and Wildean sense of humor, not about depression. But I guess one garners what one relates to.

I've always been a big fan of music in general, i would have some form of music playing pretty much constantly, usually the radio, but what got me interested in finding actual good music was Relationship of Command by At the Drive-In. That, and the advent of allmusic, which helped my greatly in my searching for new (to me, at least) good shit
