For me, it was the Red Hot Chili Peppers. I liked anything my older brother liked by default, but they were the first band I listened to that I knew I enjoyed without having to look at him to make sure I did...if that makes any sense. I still rock out to them all the time. What about you all?

I get the older brother thing. I was the same way with a lot of stuff, but not really music. Perhaps our gender differences had something to do with that. We liked completely different things. Either way, it didn't take long or much to get me into music. I started with all of the old Disney songs, and it's been an ongoing love affair with music ever since!

You know, I wish I could remember. But I don't know if it was any artist in particular. My parents just always had music on and, well, I just never knew a life without it!

Shadowplay, I'm glad that someone else knows what it's like to have an older brother who dictates a lot of your tastes. It's hard for me to discern what I really like and what I was basically conditioned to like, sometimes. My sister is the same way with Disney songs. They never really did it for me, personally. I always fast-forwarded through those parts.

Wren, you're lucky. My parents aren't really musically-inclined. My mom pretty much listened to Dan Fogelberg exclusively.

My mom is musically-inclined but she's got an obsession with The Beach Boys. They are the only band I can recall her listening to on a regular basis. They're the first band I can recall singing and dancing along to, so I guess I'll have to say they (and my mom) were the ones who lit my music-loving fire.

There's no particular artist that got me into music. My grandfather gets all the credit. He just loved music so freaking much and it was contagious. He also bought us instruments and paid for us to get lessons. He was super into classical music (and polka) and that definitely rubbed off on me (except for the polka).

She wasn't an artist as such - it was my mum who got me into music. She was always singing and had a good voice. She sang anything, Elvis, The Beatles, Ray Charles, The Moody Blues, Ella Fitzgerald and also local folk songs and some classical.

If she wasn't singing by herself she had the radio on an would sing along. sometimes she'd make a note of a song she particularly liked and then would buy the record. It was a treat to go to the music shop with her and flick through the amazing LP sleeves.

It sounds like a lot of you got your love for music from your mothers. That's awesome. I wonder why fathers aren't spreading the music love a little bit more though. It makes me wish my parents had exposed me to music. I didn't get it from my mom (other than a grudge against Dan Folgeberg because she played it so incessantly). I definitely didn't get it from my dad who can't even hum "Row, Row, Row Your Boat."
