  • the beatles

    i was also a huge nwa fan for a while but they never knocked the beatles outta #1

    pearl jam did, #1 for life

    became seriously enthralled with dead/phish after pj but they could never claim the crown

    I was a bit of a skanger back in the day - loved me some hard house and the likes :oops: But then I got into rock music and I was kinda obsessed with Red Hot Chili Peppers for a while before the PJ thing started - they played every year in Dublin for about 5 years, t'was good times! Then I heard Vs and it was all uphill from there :D

  • I can't remember that far back. I was 9 when Ten came out and was fortunate to hear it at such a young age...haven't looked back since.

    pretty much the same. I was 9 when Ten came out, and 10 when i discovered Ten in 1992. They were my first real musical obsession, and probably part of the reason they've stuck with me so long.

    Only group i can really remember to listening before that at all was gnr, but I wouldn't say I listened a lot, knew much about it, or really cared. I just remember finding welcome to the jungle and paradise city catchy.
  • I discovered Guns n Roses when I was 16 and they were my favourite untill I was 19 when I first heard Ten (that was only 4 years ago so I started pretty late - used to be a hippidy hopper)
    Mike McCready makes the energizer bunny look tired.

    Have you checked out the documentary. It's Going to Get Loud, with Page, The Edge and Jack White. Great movie. Goldfinger, who the hell knew?!?
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of
    arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to
    slide in sideways, BBQ sandwich in one hand, cold beer in the other,
    body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "Woo Hoo what a
    ride"!

    Nirvana, saw them live in 93'.

    After they ended I went back to my PJ fixation :)

    Two completely different sounds IMO and thats what I liked. With Nirvana the music was first, lyrics 2nd...most of which made no sense but just great music to jam to.

    Pearl Jam had lyrics 1st and music 2nd. Just as great...depended on my mood which I would listen to.

    IMO

    that's kinda backwards from most views....I'd say pj put both before nirvana put either one.

    Before PJ I had no favorite band really. I was 35 so in my late twenties early thirties I was listening to all the eighties stuff but also my teen favorites like Zeppelin, Alan Parsons, Joe Cocker, Supertramp, Janis Joplin.
    As far as 80's I liked Talking Heads, Madonna, Robert Palmer,McCartney, Chris Isaak, Cher.


    I am a huge Chris Isaak fan actually!

    RHCP & GNR which is funny considering I was 9 and 10 when I found Ten at the end of '91. Still love RHCP not so much into Axl's screechy voice anymore though.
