Although the UK indie rock establishment seem to have claimed John Peel as one of their own I remember him as the only DJ with the balls to play ANYTHING he damn well wanted instead of sticking to some corporate playlist he really did not give a fuck about convention or genre and we need more people in music like him.

For me It was the cool shit from the Transformers movie and the Swat cats theme song.

I pretty much went from one end of the spectrum to the other. I still genuinely enjoy the sappy soft shit

My Mom has a great story about being pregnant with me and going to a Black Sabbath concert.
The music I heard growing up was mostly country though, with a little classic rock thrown in. I wanted to play drums at first. However, there was a guitar laying around the house so I started taking a class in school playing guitar. The country music didn't cut it any more after a while , just as Bon Jovi's "New Jersey" album came out. Around that time I also saw Stevie Ray Vaughn on "Austin City Limits" and I really got into playing guitar.
I got sucked into the entire hair metal thing for a bit,then when Metallica's "Black" album dropped it was all over. I bought their entire back catalog. Then got into Megadeth. Then Steve Vai for a bit . Then Grunge happened and I totally lost interest in heavy music. I ran back to Jazz and blues.
I started hearing things about some new bands from friends. The whole Nu-metal thing sounded good. No guitar solo's yet, but decent enough music. I picked the guitar up again and got into Godsmack, Disturbed, ect.. That's also about the time I hooked up with my current band and started playing 7 string guitars. In looking for other 7 string bands I've discovered Nevermore, and Meshuggah. I joined this site , and am now listening to a ton of music I never knew was out there. Evergrey, Kamelot, and the list goes on. So I guess my musical listening tastes directly stemmed from playing guitar.
