Also, I've got to say my parents probably did musically influence me. Actually, they certainly did: You've got my dad brining me up ona diet of prog rock and old-school punk, and my mum feeding me everything from Siouxsie and the Banshees to Bob Dylan. My parents musical taste generally rocks. I mean, I got my dad into Nightwish and Ayreon, and my mum's now a firm Skyclad lover.

i'm not an indie listener either, but here's the story anyway.
i was big into(lord help me) things like bon jovi when i was younger(say 13) and upon getting into highschool a friend i had made gave me a copy of skinny puppy's album 'last rights'. it took my a while to really get into and understand it, but from there it was an easy slide into other things...haujobb, nin, fla, etc. it also got me into things like the aforementioned radiohead and just looking for something different for the sake of doing so.
(i still hum along to bon jovi on the radio occasionally)

Well, my own mother used to delve into the punk world and bring us back gifts from the past. I grew up crooning to the Pixies' "Caribou" and "Debaser". Thankfully, I was able to avoid the Good Charlotte stuff in Grade 8. I got really into this local band, Alexisonfire (they used to be small!) and I fell in love... with Dallas' voice, especially. I confided in them the entire year, embracing my misunderstood pre-teen angst. Then Billy Talent exploded, and they became my next obsession. I went to see a show with them headlining and METRIC and Death from Above 1979. That's when it all started. I quickly ditched Billy Talent and fell in love with hipper-than-thou culture. Voila. (Once in a while, I still pull out my alexisonfire on a sad, stormy night. But don't tell anyone!)

I was also always a fan of U2 and Supertramp, due to my parents. *HI MUM!*
