King Kamala 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2007 We may have done a similar thread like this (perhaps even started by myself) but dammit, it's been long enough and I don't think we've done this exact thread. Anyway, mine was The Jackson 5 appropriately enough when I was about 5. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kinetic 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2007 Either Fishbone or Gwar; my becoming obsessed with them both occurred around the same time. Â Gwar came second for me, after the metalheads I was hanging around with in Valdosta shamed me out of liking Nirvana. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vivalaultra 0 Report post Posted November 1, 2007 The first cassette tape I ever owned was Aerosmith's "Gems"; that was around 1988, when I was 6 or so. They were my first favorite band. After that, it was a long period of liking Mc Hammer and Vanilla Ice followed by getting big into Nirvana and then The Beatles by around 6th grade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jorge Gorgeous 0 Report post Posted November 1, 2007 I liked Weird Al a lot when I was a little kid, but I was never at the point when I considered the guy my favorite or anything. The Beatles were my first favorite band. They're still my favorite band. I think my mom heard me listening to Aqua and Jock Jams and decided to intervene.

The Metal Maniac 0 Report post Posted November 1, 2007 I'll admit it: Weird Al. Â Only music I actually bought until I was in grade 7 or 8 or so. I did like Metallica from an early age however; By grade 4, I knew the words to a couple of their songs. But they were just some band my brother listened to at the time: Weird Al was where it was at, for me. Â There. Now everyone else can rest assured: Your choice isn't the worst.

King Kamala 0 Report post Posted November 1, 2007 Weird Al was my first concert. Still probably one of the borderline Top 10 shows I've ever seen. I'd love to see him again if he came here again and the price was right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
