    Nice shirt.
  • The fixer got me started on PJ. Technically Alive though before I heard the fixer on the radio I would play Alive on Rockband. The guitar solo is awesome and the drums are tight to go wild on (imagining they are real drums of course >_<)!

  • For me it was the first time I heard/saw Even Flow on Much Music, in 1992. I had to endure a horrible family camping trip that summer - I don't know what I would have done without my Ten tape and yellow Sony walkman :lol: (remember those?! They were indestructible....kinda like Ten ;) ).

    For me, not so much a particular song, but an experience.

    I had started to become a "fan" around Vitalogy, and looked forward to the releases of No Code & Yield. So I guess you could say it was Better Man or some other single off of Vitalogy if I were to try and pin point a particular song . . . but it wasn't until seeing them live in Barrie, ON on my 20th birthday in 1998 that I became obsessed and would say I became a hardcore fan

    State of Love and Trust.

    I first heard the song on the Singles soundtrack back in 92 when I was 12...or something like that. I remember being in my room, listening to that song over and over, every day for months. The music totally blew me away and I was in a state of euphoria.

    Think I still am :)

    Ten was blaring from any number of dorm rooms at we all finished exams. Even Flow was first and then each song became something new and awesome.
