    17, saw them open for the Pumpkins and Chilis and was quite impressed (especially with Mike and Dave A.). Didn't actually listen to Ten until a few months later, I think.

    I was 12 I think, so 2005! God I'm young, not to be offensive to anyone haha, but least you've lived awesome times! If I'd have been born earlier and discovered them at a similar age to what I did like the majority of votes as well I could have witnessed some truly inspiring shows and memories for sure. Heh ho.

    I was in college when Ten came out. I remember seeing the Even Flow video on MTV (yes, kids, they did actually play music on that channel at one time) for the first time and thinking it was pretty cool.

    1993, I was 13 then. Heard "Alive" on tv, sung by someone else in some sort of a contest, liked the song so much that I had to find out immediately who sings the original. Got a homemade copy of "Ten" from some guy I didn't even know and it blew my head off. It was and still is, one of the greatest records ever to me. Soon after that "Vs" came out, I spent almost all my free time at my friends house listening to it (back then I couldn't afford to buy cassettes myself). Oh, memories :)

    And just as I'm writing this Release (from "Ten") came on PJ radio :heart:
