The First Album that Got You Into All this Stuff? - Page 3

pbradley · 08.04.2008, 01:36 PM

I was too young to get really into Nirvana. I was only 6 years old in 1991, 9 in '94. By that time I was sick enough of all their radio play to care. But still my brother's copy of Nirvana was still handed down to me and I dug it but it wasn't mind blowing since they overplayed Smells Like Teen Spirit like fuck.

I've said it couple of times before, but anyways:

Having been 15 at the time, it shook my world quite a bit.

viewtiful_alan · 08.04.2008, 01:49 PM

it opened the door for a stream of other door openers, so ultimatley it started it all for me.

Yeah, I got that album around the same time as OK Computer. Got into it faster. Reminds me of early high school.

I was too old to get into Nirvana (I was 36 in 1991) but I did anyway. I remember going down to the record store at midnight when Utero was released and standing in line with kids almost half my age. What the fuck, I was the hip old man. And I still am!

Mote was love on first sight. And the coverart still looks so fucking cool.

GrungeMonkey · 08.04.2008, 05:35 PM

Another Nirvana for me, probably Nevermind. I wouldve bought it when i was, errr maybe 13 or 14. It just blew my mind, having previously been into the kind of shitty nu-metal that all the other kids were listening to. Nevermind kicked Linkin Park's ass!
I then went through EVERY nirvana album and was one of those annoying kurt cobain obsessed kids for a while
then got into their influences, so sonic youth, the meat puppets etc and now im almost a fully fledged hipster dude. gnarly.

It gave me the idea that it's okay to like music that's weird.

HECKLER SPRAY · 08.04.2008, 05:50 PM

Between my 6 and 14 years old, I played the piano, and I was into jazz things, blues, mainstream french bands, old stuffs like Pink Floyd... I was living in a "cultural desert". Suddenly, I decided to renounce all the music I was playing and I was listening to, during a year.
I came back into music with dEUS (Worst Case Scenario, In a Bar under the Sea...) thanks to an insane fucking cool girl who was 3 years older than me. I met her on a show I was working on as a light engeneer (voluntary).
This band leads me to other stuffs like Sonic Youth and Pavement, but I waited for few years before I grasp the nettle.

Jesus & Mary Chain. I liked the melodies, the noise and the arrogance.

NWRA · 08.04.2008, 06:38 PM

Public Enemy. They were my favourite group for a long time, and Fear Of A Black Planet was my favourite album. I downloaded Kool Thing from the old Napster (only because it featured Chuck D), liked it, and then downloaded Teenage Riot because it was their second most popular song on there, loved it, and bought Daydream Nation off Amazon immediately.

The Smashing Pumpkins had a big part too. I bought their Greatest Hits album for 1979, etc, and liked a song called Real Love on it, which had lots of overdubbed guitars and was compared to My Bloody Valentine in a review. So I downloaded various songs by them, again off the old Napster.

i was a skateboarder/comic book geek before i was a music/comuc book/skateboarding/ film geek, an skateboarding videos actually got me into this stuff. the first time i heard sonic youth was ed templeton's part in toy machine's 'welcome to hell'.

First time I heard it was in Ed's part in "Jump off a Building".

EMMAh · 08.04.2008, 06:42 PM

Nirvana's greatest hits CD, when I was 12.

Many doors opened from there.

MellySingsDoom · 08.04.2008, 06:52 PM
