What Band, Song or Show First Shaped Your Favorite Music Genri (lyrics, favorite bands)

[Six Foot Three]

For me it was when i started to watch the Partridge Family as a little kid in the 70's as up to that point i was into the bubblegum pop and so watching that tv show every friday nite forever changed me into a Rock n Roller and it's different variations over the later decades.


One of the earliest songs that changed me to like Rock music when i was seven or eight years old .


Youtube - The Partridge Family - I Can Feel Your Heartbeat

[Gimme3steps]

Anything along these lines...

being the youngest of 8 kids, I had a plethora of music to choose from at a very early age,

my elder 2 sisters were listening to- the Carpenters, Simon and Garfunkel, Neil Diamond, James Taylor, Gary Puckett and the Union Gap, etc....

I go across the hall in my two oldest brothers room and they're listening to- Harry Chapin, The Beatles, the Stones, the Who, Led Zeppelin, the Beach Boys, Chicago, etc......

this is all b4 my 10th birthday in 1975, and I loved it all

For Rock it would have to be Jimi Hendrix, especially his first two albums with Mitch Mitchell on Drums.

For Punk Rock it was the Dead Kennedys.

For Jazz it was Buddy Rich.

For Jazz/Funk it is Incognito.

For electronic it is Mo Horizons.

the one 'musical revelation' that sticks out in my head would be the first time i heard Rage Against the Machine. i was in 8th grade at the time. my folks weren't OVERLY strict, but i never was allowed to buy harder music, so most of the stuff i was into was fairly innocent (Hootie and the Blowfish, Boyz II Men, older classic rock, etc). then one day my buddy (whose parents were also fairly strict), played RATM's self-titled album for me. i just remember being dumbfounded by it. it was a crazy mix of flowing lyrics, unorthodox guitar riffs, and an overall sense of, well, rage. i was hooked. i remember buying a copy of 'Evil Empire' when it came out and feeling like such a badass for buying something that 'hardcore' (yes, i was that big of a dweeb, folks).

to this day, RATM is one of my favorite bands. and whenever i hear any track from either their self-titled album or Evil Empire, i instantly start reminiscing back to my adolescence. ahh, memories!

Not sure what a 'genri' is, but the first time I heard 'Iron Man' by Sabbath at age 11, I was hooked. It was everything that pop music was not.

While I enjoy a wide variety of musical genres, metal and other darker music have been my definite favorites.

[cap1717]

Dylan, Paxton, St Marie., Cohen . . songs of social justice and and songs with strong emotional impact.

[Mr. Humble]

This is a great question! Bravo 6'3"!!

The stuff we hear first we never quite shake off.

For me, Sinatra, Marvin, Beatles, Miles, and Hendrix.
