To be quite honest with you guys, i can't for life of me know which group or singer made me appreciate music. I'm going to guess it happened during the late 70's-early 80's

Village People. I swear to god though, if they had a firefighter or teacher in the group, it'd be a different story.

Not sure what you're asking. I've always liked music, and my taste improved with age. When I was a kid, I thought KISS was tits, but it's objectively bad music. I got into better stuff later.

With one exception - the Bill & Ted version of "God Gave Rock and Roll To You." STATION!

For me, it's been too long. I've been a music nut pretty much all of my life and I have the 1,200+ CD collection to prove it :)

I just had a flashback just now. It was Kenny Rogers songs. Only singer I could understand each word he was singing. I only half hearing.

Pink Floyd. I was young, maybe 8. Dark Side of the Moon / The Wall with headphones on. My dad's turntable. Mind blown.

As a kid? Probably the Four Tops. My parents listened to a lot of Motown in the 80s and 90s. As an adult (or rather separate from my parents), probably Dream Theater or Jimi Hendrix.

+1

I wasn't as young (I think I was 12) when I first listened to the entire 'The Wall' album, but I was was blown away. Before that, I had only heard the songs 'Another Brick In The Wall Pt. 2' and 'Money' on the radio (lived in the middle-of-no-where farmland in TN growing up).

After that when I had enough money, I bought Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals, and eventually all their albums. To this day I still listen to one Pink Floyd / Roger Waters / David Gilmour album each week.

My older brother got a really nice stereo for graduation. He had the Moody Blues' Long Distance Voyager album. There is nothing to compare to the first few seconds of that album on a good stereo.

I kinda liked music up to the point where I first heard Guns 'n Roses, then I knew I liked metal. I then found Slayer, Sepultura, Carcass, Motorhead and Anthrax, and listened mostly to that for a few years. No idea what the first music was that I enjoyed (probably some kids song way back), but GnR was the one that showed me the type of music I really liked.
