These guys???? There were a couple of outfits floating around with that name. These guys weren't half bad. The others from NYC I think sucked out loud!

[quote=Satan666;113429]What is the first band that you can remember that really took hold of you and shook the shit out of you. A band that you listened to over and over. And how old were you?
My folks were very country- western and my older sisters were out of the house by the time I came along, so I was pretty much on my own as far as developing musical tastes.
The first "real" album I had was the Doors LA Woman. It was like 1970 and I was maybe 5. I certainly didn't get what Morrison was all about at that age, but I do remember playing it over and over.
In the summer between 4th and 5th grade, I spent vacation with my sister in Seattle. Her boyfriend and his nephew were living there, and the nephew kinda took me under his wing, so to speak. In a non- molesting way. He smoked pot in front of me (and occassionally let me indulge) and would share his beers with me while listening to Alice Cooper's Billion Dollar Babies. Still, at that age, I really didn't "get" it, other than the imagery was scary cool.
In the summer between 6th and 7th grade, I spent vacation with my other sister, who was a minor exec with London Records. She tried desperately to turn me on to the Moody Blues, but she took me to a KISS concert and I was hooked for at least 3 years. The imagery, the loudness, the bass heavy doom of it all took me in. I would say KISS opened up the door for most everything I listened to. If you listened to KISS you pretty much automatically listened to Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin and David Bowie. And from there it was a natural progression to Lynyrd Skynyrd, Pink Floyd and the other seminal 70's bands. Until KISS put out Dynasty. I couldn't accept that.

I remember the Godz. Don't have any of their stuff, tho.
Does anyone remember Angel? They all dressed in white and were out during the heyday of KISS, like 75 to 79ish. Had a hotshot guitar player named Punky Meadows and this genius keyboard player named Gregg Guifrea (I'm spelling it way wrong). They had some great albums. I really have to drag out my turntable.

I liked sublime a whole lot when I was in the fourth-sixth grade (who didn't?) but the first band/album that I can remember listening to again and again until the album just didn't read anymore was Electriclarryland by the Butthole Surfers in 1996
