your gateway band
Mnementh:
I never really had a gateway band, the closest thing would be R.E.M. After the phase where you listen to basically your parents music (a lot of which I am still into) I got into R.E.M. in the late 1980's, pretty much the same time my father did. After that I skipped most of the grunge phase in favour of Wilco, Moby, Depeche Mode, the Cure and a lot of mid-90's post grundge alt-rock. I was heavily into the philly local music scene, groups like G. Love & Special Sauce, Bloodhound Gang (at the time), Trip 66, Ben Harper, etc.
God, this was all back around 1996 or earlier, I'm feeling pretty old now. Interesting sidetrack. R.E.M. and Moby lead me to Mission of Burma, which lead me to the Pixies and Husker Du.
sXeSamurai:
I feel old and I'm only a 16 year old sophmore...I really have been listining to The Cure for ever.
Schmendrick:
My gateway band was Weezer. I took my sisters blue album cd after she left it in the car when I was about eight and I still have it seven years later.
sXeSamurai:
I fell out of love with Weezer, they are no ridicously popular at school and elsewhere. "Buddy Holly" is a great song, but extremely overplayed.
mookers:
phantom planet.
i looked into their blog cause i'm a huge geek and Alex Greenfield or Greenwald or whatever had his ideal mix tape. it had things like Lightning Bolt, Hella, Deerhoof, all this stuff i'd never heard of.. and it branched off from that.
