Clapton

The Cure, The Smiths, New Order, My Bloody Valentine, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin ..so much more

And we had to leave the house to buy our music at the record store. Pick up an iron-on t-shirt while we were there. We had an iconic record store here in Chicago called Rolling Stone Records. Bands would do autograph signings before the shows. Could put on a pair of headphones and listen to the music before you buy it. Posters for sale. Smoking paraphernalia for sale.....memories

I'm of Rhino's genre and grew up listening to much of the music he did, but Merle Haggard and other country greats were part of my menu as well.  Then came the sixties.  There were too many great bands to mention, but among them were ELO, CCR, the Eagles, the Stones, Fleetwood Mac, Three Dog Night, The Grateful Dead, and on and on.  To this day, my favorite group is the Eagles.

Yup..that's what I listened too to.  Also liked the Grass Roots.

From country legends to rock, hair bands, rap/house music. Everything that was played in the 70-80's.

James Taylor

Steely Dan

Neil Young

Santana

Duplicate post, good grief

My youth..................motown

This thread rocks. By the time I was in high school, I was spoiled. Through parents, friends, teachers, and my ability to grow a beard and go to bars by the time I was 15, I got exposed to a lot of cool stuff from jazz to metal and classical. Still, had it not been for old Aerosmith, Zeppelin, G'n'R, and the Black Crowes, I would have probably never bought a guitar. Also, I was a 90s kid, so Primus, Soundgarden, RHCP, etc were all in their prime. It was a good time to be a kid who liked music.

My musical coming of age came during the hey day of pop-punk so most of my teenage years were filled with Blink-182, New Found Glory, NOFX, MXPX and various other (abbreviation+random number) named bands. 

I grew up on a healthy mix of my parents' music and contemporary rock music. Into my 30's im still a devotee of Buddy Holly, Jim Croce, Simon and Garfunkel, The Moody Blues, Janis Joplin, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin and the likes to go along with my Metallica, Tool, Rage Against the Machine, Cannibal Corpse. Two of my big memories of music from my childhood were wearing my Megadeth T-shirt into music class in the third grade and hearing Edvard Grieg's Peer Gynt for the first time and becoming obsessed with Classical music for a long time. So I'm pretty well-rounded...

I grew up with 60's and 70's rock and Mowtown, but my education in music came when I discovered jazz. During my college years, I'd hang out on Rush St. in Chicago listening to some of the best live jazz ever. Buddy Rich, Albert King and so much local talent back then.  They were true artists, not performers, and their canvas was their music.

And we had to leave the house to buy our music at the record store. Pick up an iron-on t-shirt while we were there. We had an iconic record store here in Chicago called Rolling Stone Records. Bands would do autograph signings before the shows. Could put on a pair of headphones and listen to the music before you buy it. Posters for sale. Smoking paraphernalia for sale.....memories

I graduated H.S  in 76 and I used to live in Chicago around Belmont and Central. Roliing Stone ( Harlem and Irving) was the only place where you could buy any album that was available. If they didn't have it they would order it for you, and then came the cassettes for cars. Back then I used to smoke, and I remember going into Rolling Stone with a cigarette in my hand and they had ashtrays everywhere. At one time they gave out black ashtrays with the Rolling Stone logo on it with every purchase. I still have that ashtray but haven't smoked in 30 years. I loved my teen years. Bands I listened to then and now:

Alice Cooper, Ozzy, Zepplin, Aerosmith, Pink Floyd, Elton John, DIO, Rainbow, Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, Eagles, Foghat, UFO, REO, Foreigner, Styx, Nugent, CCR, Three Dog Night, Doors, Chicago, Jethro Tull, Quiet Riot, WASP, Dokken, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Fleetwood Mac, Janis Joplin, Bad Company ,many more I can't think of. I now listen to Three Days Grace, Disturbed, Halestorm, Seven Mary Three, Godsmack, Guns and Roses,  Shamans Harvest, Seether, Evanescence, Stone Sour, Sixx A.M., Shinedown, Royal Bliss, Redlight King, Saving Abel, Pop Evil, and a whole bunch more. I always loved hard rock music and still do to this day. Never liked any country music other than Johnny Cash. Can't stand any of the country music now. That about does it for me.
