Mudhoney. Nobody personified the genre like Mark Arm.
Name your fav band/artist when you were 18. The Beatles since forever but REM was indisputably my favorite band in 1992 when I turned 18. Automatic for the People came out that year and I listened to that album from beginning to end SO many times.
Name your fav band/artist when you were 18. I was a gothy/grungy kid. I honestly don't listen to much Nirvana these days, and I'm not 100% sure why. I do hear them from time to time on the radio, but they're not in my rotations. FWIW One band that "stuck with me" later into life is Garbage.
Big Brother and the Holding Company/Full Tilt Boogie Band Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young The Grateful Dead Cream Jefferson Airplane 1969/1970 was great for music…
I think my first pirated CDs were Peel Slowly and See
I remember a lot of Bob Jovi and Def Leppard cassette tapes. (I had a car built in the 1980s and why buy an adapter when I had cassettes?)
Saw these fellas live in 1988. No stadium theatrics. No wall of televisions. No choreography. No special effects. Just pure, unadulterated hard rock. I've never seen a better performance in my life.
my best friend and i would just lay on the floor in the dark listening to godspeed you black emperor and sigur ros i was pretty haunted that year
It was 1989. The year before grunge. So probably Led Zepplin, Hendrix, The Dead Kennedys. My mind and musical tastes were just beginning to open up.
I had to think about this and it suddenly occurred to me that it was almost certainly Pink Floyd.
Ani DiFranco and also Cake. Both were equally and simultaneously necessary to 18-year-old me.
Hmm. I listened to a lot of unpopular stuff (still do)… But I recall my friends each giving me a different Michael Bolton CD for my birthday as a gag and… I kinda liked them?
There were plenty of others that I loved at 18, but since I was 15 there's really only ever been Sabbath.
It was 1747, so either Bach or Vivaldi, but have to give it to JS Esp bc he lived down the road in Leipzig
the pillows i was in my flcl high at the time thanks to the sequels and how it brought the og back into ppl's minds (including mines), and i was getting more into the pillow's discography outside of the series and the rest is history 🎵CAN YOU FEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLL, CAN YOU FEEL THAT HYBRID RAINBOW🎵
Sibelius I think…. Especially his second symphony. I may not have been typical of 18 year olds
Nine Inch Nails, which has historically always been my favorite band, but shares the top spot with Ghost now.
I was on such a musical/pop opera kick! I'd listen to everything from Tommy to Les Mis, rather than specific artists... Since anything by Andrew Lloyd Weber except Cats was on my CD desk stack, I'll go with him.
Mel Torme. I was listening to a lot of orchestral music and jazz when I was 18.
Either Steely Dan or King Crimson. I still value both bands greatly, in fact.
Probably Queen, but i recall Micheal Jackson died around that time and it was the first time i really started appreciating his music
It was, it is, and has always been Joni Mitchell.
JOURNEY I never got to see them live
18 was when I found out about Visual Kei And yet again ignored the idea that I could be attracted to men. Totally didn't think about being double teamed by Mana and Klaha. Nope. Dont know what you mean, I'm a lesbian doncha know?
The Pillows (Japan), KoRn, and The Seatbelts. Still are my favs
I listened to a *lot* of Tori Amos my freshman year
I wish it was something super introspective and with deep meaning. But I liked silly lyrics. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Am-...
I don't think I had a favourite, but I did have a soft spot for Lemon Jelly.
It had just become Muse then and it is still Muse now.
I liked Beethoven when I was a teenager but now my favorite is either Bach or Vivaldi
Name your fav band/artist when you were 18. My tatses changed through the years but theres been one constant through every stage of my life with their own ever changing unique style. Linkin Park is was and will forever be my number 1 band. I have literally grown up with them
Cosmic Psychos
Got to see 'em on the 'spinning piano' tour. 🤪
It was a dead-split between David Bowie, PJ Harvey & Nine Inch Nails.
I had a Doors phase that year. Second semester of college. Discovered The Doors. Shit was gonna happen.
Probably Red Vox. I would dissociate to Another Light and Realign all the damn time bc there was nothing else to do lol
Mars Volta with Nine Inch Nails in a close fucking contention…but also AFI was in the mix. I listened to a LOT of music in ‘04
Name your fav band/artist when you were 18. Once Fast Eddie left, it wasn't the same...
youtu.be/tApiv1g5gAk?... Well at 18 thanks to Top of the Pops I was introduced to .......
I had a lot of favorites, but UB40 was definitely in the top 10.
Name your fav/band artist when you were 18. (My only defence is that my music taste was in thrall to a brother ten years older than me.)
I've always seriosuly enjoyed listening to a bit of Queen myself. Still do. ;-)
Audioslave. I hadn‘t quite found “my music” yet, but I was getting close.
“Don’t worry be happy was the #1 jam” “Damn, if I say it you can slap me right here”
I had like five but this man was the majority of all of my music.
This song has not aged well with that "scared white boy in a black neighborhood" line. I haven't even bothered with them since those Songs From an American Movie albums.
‘Ol Flowerbutt had a great backing band.
I had the CD and a 4x6 poster. still have both.
It was majorly back and forth between these guys (Simple Plan) and Panic! At the Disco
Name your fav band/artist when you were 18.
