Song Or Group That Changed Your Life...
 

Just like in Almost Famous, What was the song or group way back for you that changed it all...for you?

Zep and the beatles for me.....Magical Mystery tour ...Strawberry Fields for ever....

Beatles and KISS

Hey ICE...where the fuck have you been? We were in LA this week......

Lesile Sharp and i started this talk at the Sex Search dinner the other night..wanted to keep it going......


Thanks Sex Search for an awsome dinner!

Lets hook up with Caz for a cigar. Just call my cell :thumbsup

wow...thats a hard one...there are so many....i think in the old high school days Zepplin did something to me that i didnt realize until now as i remembered how life changed since then....the old days like that would not come back again...life goes on!

Falco.

Rock Me Amadaus.....

tupac amaru shakur

Nickelback - Photograph :thumbsup

:uhoh .......

Stupid Canadian....

Typical Negro.

Rock me Amadeus rocked my world. But I prefer I'm Thuper by Big Gay Al. That changed my life forever and opened up many new worlds..

I grew up in the 70's and rock music was the most influential thing that framed my viewpoint on life... Way more influential than parents, teachers, ministers...

First record I listened to was John Lennon's first solo one and I used to play it over and over trying to make sense of it all.

mm.. i dunno... i grew up in the 80's and started watching Madonna's Borderline at age 6 or so, so I guess it would have to be the Material Girl herself. She's an icon.

There have been many that have changed things at differenjt times, but some of the MOST memorable...

Tainted Love, Soft Cell

1000 Miles, Vanessa Carlton

U Can't Touch This, MC Hammer

In The Air Tonight, Phil Collins

;-)

I used to listen to pop music until a friend played me Iron Maiden's Piece of Mind album.....I thought it was awesome and have been a rocker ever since I was 15.

typical no brainer

its AMADEUS n00b

definitely NIRVANA music "smell like teen spirit"

i started dating gurls during those times :pimp

Nirvana, without a doubt...


I was 8 years old when I got Nevermind LOL...(the year it came out)...

Guns n Roses. I was 17 when I started to rebel and listen to 80's Rock!

I was a teenager in the 90's, so Smashing Pumpkins ment alot to me

Supertramp

I always liked nirvana as a kid....and now I'm more into U2

Strawberry Fields was a great song. If you wanna hear a killer remake of it, check out the group "Candy Flip" from the album "Madstock"

Steppenwolf...Magic Carpet Ride.. 1969...a big change..:thumbsup

the song that really did it for me was

bitches ain't shit, but hoes and tricks.....by snoop

I saw Metallica at the Oakland Coliseum in high school. Took shrooms for the first time. Ate too many and almost lost it. Went to the top deck, sat alone and watched the swirling of bodies in the pit while Metallica sang "Seek and Destroy". Everything was calm again and I felt at ease. Then Guns'N Roses came on and I left the stadium and walked around the parking lot until my trip ended. Every time I listen to aggressive metal now, I feel calm and relaxed.

I saw Pink Floyd at the Oakland Coliseum in highschool. About 30 rows back, on mushrooms. Started to cry during "High Hopes" for some reason; was really a moving song. I looked around and other people were crying to (or maybe it was the shrooms).

Anyway. Those are two of the most defining moments where music is involved (well music and drugs).

The song "Fooling Yourself (The Angry Young Man)" from Styx's Grand Illusion album came out just as I was hitting puberty. I remember that whole album was inspirational for me.

Then Pink Floyd and Roger Waters -- "The Wall" is my all-time favorite.

Steve Lightspeed

G-Unit - Popping Them Thangs had a huge impact on me.

"Ride The Wind" by Poison has always been one of my feel-good songs.. not so much changing my life as it's inspirational.

In the late 80's, KRS-One, Public Enemy, and then NWA rocked my word forever.

Same here............The Grand Illusion Album caused me to become a keyboard player which lead to me becoming a recording engineer. Totally changed my life.

Spandau Ballett is the group and the song is True. It is pure romance and the ladies love the song....

Mr. Romance

Guns N Roses in the early 90s when I was young. I still maintain that November Rain was the greatest song ever written.

Forgot to mention "pachelbel canon" played on classical guitar.

Don't know which actual artist I'm referencing, but the one I have in my mp3 collection changes my life every time I listen to it.

wow. it very hard for me to pick even one band, let alone one song that changed my life. i am a music addict. without all my music i am pretty sure i would shrivel up and die.

but overall i think Nirvana and Green Day have done the most.

there are other bands that have changed alot of things for me too. for example the first time i heard Strung Out, it completely changed the my concept of how you can play a guitar.

Metallica. Nirvana, NOFX and Cyp. Hill as well. All teen memories

Black Flag, Jawbreaker among others

You guys are making me feel pretty old.

The first rock 'n roll that I remember vividly causing me to become a fan was

sher-er-rry, sherry baby
sher-er-rry, sherry baby

she-e-e-e-e-e-e-ry ba-a-by (sherry baby)
she-er-rry, can you come out tonight (come come, come out toni-i-ight)
she-e-e-e-e-e-e-ry ba-a-by (sherry baby)
she-er-rry, can you come out tonight

(why don't you come out) (come out) to my twist party
(come out) where the bright moon shines
(come out) we'll dance the night away
i'm gonna make-a you mi-yi-yi-ine

she-e-e-e-e-e-e-ry ba-a-by (sherry baby)
she-er-rry, can you come out tonight
(come come, come out toni-i-ight)
(come come, come out toni-i-ight)
you-oo-ooh better ask your ma-a-ma (sherry baby)
te-ell her everything is all right

(why don't you come out) (come out) with your red dress on
(come out) mmm, you look so fine
(come out) move it nice and easy
girl, you'll make me lose my mi-ind

she-e-e-e-e-e-e-ry ba-a-by (sherry baby)
she-er-rry, can you come out tonight
(come come, come out toni-i-ight)
(come come, come out toni-i-ight)
sherry, sherry baby

fade
sherry, sherry baby

(circa 1962)

In the summers my parents would ship me off to San Francisco, and I would share a room with my uncle. He had a clock radio and every morning I would wake up to that song.

You kids really need to listen to The Who's Quadrophenia and learn something about life.

Good luck with that. Most of these douchebags listen to no talent rap and shit like blink 182. Pathetic

Saw them in concert on that tour. It was great

The Cure - The Hanging Garden
Ministry - Thieves
Duran Duran - New Moon On Monday.

Hanging Garden

creatures kissing in the rain
shapeless in the dark again
in the hanging garden
please don't speak
in the hanging garden
no one sleeps

catching haloes on the moon
gives my hands the shapes of angels
in the heat of the night
the animals scream
in the heat of the night
walking into a dream...

fall fall fall fall
into the walls
jump jump out of time
fall fall fall fall
out of the sky
cover my face as the animals cry
in the hanging garden

creatures kissing in the rain
shapeless in the dark again
in a hanging garden
change the past
in a hanging garden
wearing furs and masks...

fall fall fall fall
into the walls
jump jump out of time
fall fall fall fall
out of the sky
cover my face as the animals die
in the hanging garden

in the hanging garden

New Moon On Monday

Shake up the picture the lizard mixture
With your dance on the eventide
You got me coming up with answers
All of which I deny.

I said it again but could I please re-phrase it
Maybe I can catch a ride
I couldn?t really put it much plainer
But I?ll wait till you decide

Send me your warning siren
As if I could ever hide
Last time la luna,
I light my torch and wave it for the...

New moon on monday
And a firedance through the night
I stayed the cold day with a lonely satellite

(chorus)

Breaking away with the beast of both worlds
A smile that you can?t disguise
Every minute I keep finding
Clues that you leave behind.
Save me from these reminders
As if I?d forget tonight
This time la luna,

I light my torch and wave it for the...

(chorus) (chorus)

I light my torch and wave it for the...

(chorus) (chorus) (chorus) (chorus)

New moon on monday
And a firedance though the night...

Thieves

Thieves, thieves and liars, murderers
Hypocrites and bastards [in laughter]

Hey thanks for nothing!
Morals in the dust
Two-faced bastards and syncophants
No trust

Thieves! liar!
Inside, outside, which side, you don?t know
My side, your side, their side, we don?t know
Which side are they? which side are they?
Which side of their mouth do you suppose that it came?
Which side are they? which side are they?
Which side of the grass is greener?
Inside, outside, which side, you don?t know
My side, your side, their side, we don?t know

You?re like a great big fucking gun,
Just waiting to get squeezed!

Breathe, forfeit erection!
Toxical injection
Geriatric fuck-fest
We still believe in lies

Thieves! liar!
Inside, outside, which side, you don?t know
My side, your side, their side, we don?t know
Who started it? who started it?
Which side are they? which side are they?
Which side of their mouth do you suppose that it came?
Which side are they? which side are they?
Which side of the grass is greener?
Inside, outside, which side, you don?t know
My side, your side, their side, no one knows

You?re like a great big hit of acid,
Waiting to be taken!
