Bands That Made You Love Music!

Isnt it cool how we have youtube now!!!??

I remember waking up before school, and recording videos on mtv on my vcr, so I could watch them whenever I wanted, and learn the songs on my piano/guitar.

Now you can pull up anything!

Van Halen- "Panama"
(Most epic use of all time of a kickin' song is in Superbad when the cops trash the car with McLovin, classic "Panama" blaring on screen (not some crap remake)- couldn't help getting pumped)





Alice in Chains- "Down in a Hole"- best song they did before Staley died, IMHO.





Korn- "Shoots and Ladders". Epic song. Epic sound. Bagpipes. Epic Bass riffs. Thought provoking lyrics. What else can I say?




Nine Inch Nails-"Sanctified"- Best Reznor song. Much better than his "popular" shtuff. Very lowdown





U2- "Where the Streets Have No Name" Such an awesome song.





Could go on and on... Love "Sweet Child O' Mine" by GNR.

"Paul Revere" by Beastie Boys.

"Dr. Feelgood"- Motley Crue

"Sweet Dreams"- Eurythmics

"Hazy Shade of Winter"- Bangles

"Nobody Knows Me"- Lyle Lovett

"Hero of the Day"- Metallica

"This Years Love"- David Gray

"Mad World"- Gary Jules.........................................................................................

Listen to music all the time.

This band.



Need I go on about the genius of Matthew Bellamy? He learnt Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata in a lunch hour, then proceeded to play it backwards. Prodigy, anyone? I can tell you how his lyrics seem to birth directly from the heart strings of the most adored writers and romanticists, or how his music reaches you as echos from the furtherest galaxies unknownst, travelling upon light years and star dust to find you in that blissful moment. I can't tell you how Muse have changed my life because, quite frankly, it's ongoing. Bellamy, Dom Howard and Chris Wolstenholme are all brilliant, seasoned musicians. I was lucky enough (so lucky) to have been given the opportunity to see them perform live in Brisbane not 2 weeks ago, and they staggeringly blew my mind.
Sure as f*ck did not disappoint. Thank you, Muse.







Undoubtedly an even bigger influence upon my life, AC/DC has travelled from my blaring through my tape player everyday after school to performing in person before my very eyes earlier this year. When you're a kid in this country, it's almost sacrilegious to grow up without knowing at least one Acca Dacca song, but it wasn't until I was a teen that I truly became a conscious listener of them. Before this I was listening to Linkin Park and such bands and I was pretty depressed, I have to say. In retrospect, I don't think that that music was helping my situation at all. But once I cottoned on to rock and roll and rhythm and blues, my whole perspective changed. From there everything opened up. AC/DC opened the flood gates. They are the greatest band on Earth, and I don't care what anyone else says. There is absolutely no competition. Pre- or post Bon Scott.
They're simply the best.
