your gateway band
eeah:
Gateway bands : The cure, depeche mode, pixies, radiohead, etc.
call it glitter:
Boyfriend sent me 'Company Calls' by Death Cab.
From that day on my taste in music pretty much broadened to most genres.
Katili:
For me, it would have been a mixture of three people's influences.
I was listening to the Manic Street Preachers and Oasis and stuff a lot, but then I was talking to my friend Sophie and she introduced me to the Killers, the Kaiser Chiefs and Le Tigre. Le Tigre obviously being electronic pop more than indie, but I wanted to include it anyway.
Then there was her (now ex) boyfriend Nathan and his liking for Ratatat, the Shins and the Arcade Fire. Damn him for not being online much anymore - I hate the radio and he told me about new music.
Finally, my (now ex) boyfriend made me get Black Rebel Motorcycle Club's self titled album, which is fantastic, and I just want to mention once again that I'm seeing them live next month!!
I have a tendency to warble on for hours about this kind of thing so I shall stop before I get carried away...
Robbo:
It's really weird seeing how different groups all got into music in different ways. A lot of Metalheads seen to have come from actually buy music themselves or from nerd areas like Anime and Video Games.
Yet the Indie lot mostly come from people giving them music or their parents.*
*Why yes, I do know this is a sweeping statement because I haven't go back and read the topic again in full and that it's a limited data set. I am also aware my point as the same flaws as all other sweeping statments ever.
Druid:
I've come to the place I am from research and buying albums. If my friends had influenced my tastes, I would listen to top 40 modern rock or something more metal/gothy, and my parents are musically a blank spot.
