I was a big metal head back then so I loved (and saw most of them) bands like:

AC/DC
Motorhead
Scorpions
MSG
Slayer
Megadeth

But when I was a bit older I seemed to mellow and then it was The Smiths (no don't laugh!). I used to listen to them morning, noon and night.

I guess that would explain why I'm such a miserable fucker now!

LUx

Milli Vanilli - Awesome fucking concert. It was like they were singing directly to me!

No sweat man I am the same... I liked all the hair bands and some rap but now it's jazz and bands like simply red and everything that falls into that catagory...
