Mine was Metallica. I was a metalhead before PJ/Nirvana/SG/post-Facelift AIC came into my life. Smells Like Teen Spirit and Jeremy changed my life forever.

I always knew I wasn't a "true" metalhead. I liked some of the aggressive music but the silly death imagery didn't appeal to me. PJ and Nirvana were EXACTLY what I was waiting for.

How about you?

    The Doors. Should PJ and the Doors have been around at the same time, The Doors would have the advantage.

    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.

    The Beatles are the greatest of all time but I obsessed musically over The Beach Boys (Brian Wilson SMiLE) (hence the user name)

    I was a kid a little lost about what kind of music would fit better for me in those days, so before I knew Pearl Jam I considerated LimpBizkit, Korn, Red Hot Chilli Peppers. Well I could only save th RHCP from that list, they're still good.
