The band you were obsessed about when you were young (1 Viewer)

[Denny Oubidoux]

From 14 to present : Marillion, although I'm not a completist anymore.

i had a listen to that marillion album you (i think it was you) recommended to me last year - marbles? - didnt like it at all.

 

[Anthony]

ah well. They're a hard band to jump into. When you've been listening to them for over 20 years you're more on their wavelength.

Iron Maiden and Prince
was obsessed with both from when i was 11

 

[Goodbye]

I have had a (un)healthy obsession with Prince since I saw the video for Little Red Corvette on M.T.U.S.A. with Vincent Hanley... Just before Purple Rain was released, it was unbelievable. The obsession manifested itself in me having his symbol tattoo'd onto my wrist last year.
The biggest regret of my life, that I will take to my grave was in about 93 or 94 I sold the majority of my Prince collection cos I was on the dole and broke.

When I was a wee fella I loved The Bay City Rollers and Thin Lizzy.

Limp Bizkit, Korn and all that shite, nu-metal stuff that was knocking around in my times. Truth be told, I was only into these bands cos my friends were. Change came when I bought AFI's Art of Drowning solely cos I liked the cover-art. The important point here wasn't so much that the music was different but that none of my friends had heard of em. After that I just bought what I liked. Next up was Weezer's The Blue Album and the rest is history.

hahah, i cant recall. probably some shit like pink floyd or pantera. i wasnt much interested in any music really before tg, though as a child i did love queen (and still do). i love aha's "take on me" i must say.

I got pretty obsessed with The Doors when I was 13. Even liked An American Prayer! :-0 Pretty embarrassing considering the pretentious shite Morrison dribbled out. Still like a few of the tunes mind.
