Hey.. I thought this would be a fun thread. What kind of music did you listen to growing up? Was any of it an inspirition that helped you get where you are now, or are you embarrased to mention what you listened to growing up.
Personally, I was an 80's kid. Way back at the dawn of Home PC's, video game consoles and when Pop Tarts only came in fruit flavors. The decade of decadance, big hair, men who sang like women, and big hair. I'll go on record as saying nothing I listened to growing up inspires my writing now. I was big into Bon Jovi, Aerosmith, White Snake, and Skid Row. Ya know that commercial for Monster Ballads, yeah.. well I want that. The nostalgia is thicker than fog when that commercial comes on. Sad? Yes. Pathetic? even more so. I can't help it, I loved cheesey 80's music. DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince went with me wherever I went and killer lyrics such as "hold up Jeff, wait a minute, play it, he just smiled and said, 'yeah, def ain't it" still haunt me. Chicago, The Bangles, Reo Speedwagon, Metallica, Wang Chung and even... (gulp).. michael jackson. All that except for Metallica died out before high school. Hetfield and the crew would haunt me for another 4-5 yrs.
What's your story?
