Your Music Evolution

When we first get into music, it's either from our parents or the great.
channel of MTV to expose us to bands that we will then hate and look more into the underground for music.

You start with one band, then you get tired of their music for awhile then explore other better artists. Where did you start and where are you now?

Metallica
This is where it all started for me, when I finally was getting seriously into music. I promised myself when I was younger that I would never get into metal because it was to noisy, but well the first band I got into is Metallica. Great Melodic everything and it had everything I liked in the music, I think I got all my anger out from listening to their cd's in my pre/young teen years.

Blind Guardian
After getting tired of Metallica after pretty much three straight years of listening to them, I got into a more epic band which happens to be Blind Guardian which was more of a fantasy band with great metal vocalists and the music was just mind blowing with how they presented it. Great amazing band

Nightwish
What do you do, when you like epic music and heavy music such as Metallica and Blind Guardian but at the same time want something completely different? The answer- Nightwish, still this is one of my favorite bands, only releasing one horrible cd (their debut album) most of their music is flawless. To bad Tarja is gone now.

HIM
This band gets made fun of a lot, mostly for the female looking male singer, but great band either way. The lyrics mostly about love as everyone knows, after Nightwish they were interesting to get into.

Dream Theater
A band that combines everything from every past band mentioned in this thread- Epic music/great solo's/great atmosphere/great lyrics/many album. One of my favorite bands and probably always will be. I have most of their cd's and I enjoy listening to each one. Currently what I listen to most.

I am into more than those few bands, those have just been the most important bands that stood out to me.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
