What Songs/Bands First Got You Into Music?

[Old Nick]

As my first musical memories I suppose that my older brothers influenced a lot in the early 80s. The Police, Bee gees, Survivor, Van Halen, AC/DC, Rory Gallagher, Deep purple, Journey, Kiss...
But I think it was a tape where the Presence of Led Zeppelin was, especially "Achilles last stand" that struck me the most from the beginning.
I can say that it is my favorite album to date.

Presence is a remarkable release, I have fond memories of skipping school to buy it one morning. I think Young Americans, Black and Blue, Presence and Boston lived on my Garrard Deck at this time.

I never understood the naysayers for this album. Some really good stuff on this album imo. A good comeback after their hiatus after Robert Plant's car accident it featured a lot of guitar. Brilliant

There's a good few acts I simply don't like and never have over the years- there's more chance finding treasure on Oak Island than me purchasing a Kiss album (sorry!)

***: ( you’ve got to be kidding…even the smilies are sensored)

you know the Kiss Army is coming to get you!
personally, Gene Simmons makes me want to vomit. However, I use to chat with Paul Stanley on Twitter. He would show off his artwork. He’s actually a really down to earth guy.

Linkin Park's Hybrid Theory was the first rock album I ever bought. My first introduction to rock music was The Beatles' song "She Love You" though.
