Favorite band a friend got you into
Scytale:
Summoning. I heard Dul Guldur in he's car. Ended up taking it home and listening too it for about a week straight.
Spike:
Liquid Tension Experiment: I ended up discussing music with a friend of mine and I mentioned that I liked post-rock. He asked me to explain what post rock was so I did to the best of my ability, he then told me that since I like post-rock and metal I should like Liquid Tension Experiment.
Marilyn Manson: At first I didn't like anything about Marilyn Manson. After spending some time with a few of my friends and actually giving his music a chance I found that I liked it. I then went on to find more of is work and learn a little bit more about the guy himself. Now I have a lot of respect for the guy.
The Strokes: After seeing the reaction to this mention earlier I was hesitent to mention this particular band. However in the timeline that has accompanied my musical taste they played an important part. I was coming out of a phase that was comprised of bands like Slipknot and Linkin Park (I know, nothing alike but bear with me). After listening to the Strokes a bit I decided to go out and look for other bands like them and also when people would say "They sound just like X band" I would go and find songs by X band.
Flogging Molly: I remember sitting there talking with a friend a long time ago and he was talking about he just want to an awesome show. So of course I ask who he went to see and he replied with Flogging Molly. I can't remember exactly how he described them but I just remember me saying "Ok, I have to hear this."
A good portion of my current musical collection is made up of bands that have been mentioned on this forum. Damn, I'm impressionable.
mysteriousbriefcase:
my bass guitar teacher introduced me to fugazi after i asked to learn some minor threat. i think that was the single biggest event in my music listening history.
Cerulaetas:
About the only ones for me (I end up finding a lot of my own music and hooking other people on it) are Sonata Arctica (from my brother) and Illnath (from Trollstormur). However, I've gotten my brother hooked on just about everything I listen to, and multiple friends/acquaintances of mine hooked on Nightwish (who are nice and accessible).
Trollstormur:
I dunno... probably something khar either a. reccommended or b. mentioned. not many of m'meat world friends listen to metal, and if they do, it's because of me and I already know all the bands they do.
