Well, Pretty much I am just bored. Well actualy beyond my boring life of cause I play my guitar which i've actually gotten some what good but anyway off topic. I just wanted to share my favorite group and ask for yours too. If there is a story behind it then, tell. Mine would be the Awsome (screw everyone who doesn't think so too) Led Zeppelin!!! My Favorite song in the world which is pretty ######en huge: 'Stairway to Heaven' and my story of actually being "introduced" to them was when my dad would blast the stupid Cd's in the car and drive around Orange Cove aka the Getto(I do not live there so i'm not getto). I would be so embarrased, But then i started to kinda actually like them. My dad didn't like me listening to them, he said that girls should listen to music that is "new" and "hip". Yes, my dads an ass sometimes. Anyway my dads friend had like all the Cd's and when he moved he let me keep them all!!! (It was totaly cause he just wanted to make my dad mad.) It was sweet! I practicaly love LZ or "Zepp" which "Zepp" is pretty weird to me but hey. I would listen to them all the time and now i can play 'Stairway' even thought i have had my guitar for maybe just a month but that's my story what's yours?

Pan-f@cking-tera. Brother introduced me to it and I' ve been hooked ever since. Funny story....read the news. Poor Dime.

Gee, I kinda like Gene Autry cause he's a real cowboy.

[MakoMako]

Dave Matthews Band

My sister introduced me to them just before she went off to college. It was the music that alot of people in my family listened too, and because of that, I've been able to get alot closer to some people in my family. That's why I like them so much.

I can't say that I actually have a favorite. I've been playing on and off since I was 14 years old. I am now 41 but, I don't really have time to play any more. I miss it so much! I pretty much like every thing, the Cars, Jame Taylor, Croce, Sister Hazel, the Eagles, Shawn Mullins, Pearl Jam, Todd Rungren, I like it all. I always felt to really be a musican, you have to have an appreciation of all types of music. But, that's just me.

Metallica for me, I just remember the first time i heard "Welcome Home Sanitarium", me and my brother and dad were tiling a roof and my brother had it the "Master of Puppets" Album blazing. Id have to say it was the most amazing thing id ever heard

[Sabbath89]

My story ? Loved the guitar since I was four years old and saw teachers playing it for like Hymns and whatnot in primary school. Being the procrastinator I am however , I only picked up a guitar when I was 14, and heard "Asturias" I also play the trumpet.

It's been a revolving door it seems and has come fairly close to a complete circle.

Since 1992 and the release of Emerson Lake and Palmer's Black Moon I was hooked. I was maybe four or five then, and while my dad was in the music store I wandered over to the speakers and listened. I listened to them to exclusion, well when I could. All their works, loved it. I know, odd music for a little kid to love.

In the 8th grade due to a band report project for band class, I randomly picked Miles Davis. After research and all that good stuff I was absolutely hooked to the world of jazz. Count Basie is up near the top of my list but Miles will always be my jazz man, Miles is seriously the ###### yo.

Also that year I started wandering into the realm of The Moody Blues. Great great great music, so powerfully emotive, so dark. Mind you I'm talking albums 1-7, because after Pinder left there was nothing to balance out Hayward's sappy romanticist tendencies, and they lost that powerful dark they had.

Whilst buying Moody Blues albums in Tower Records Fresno, I had enough money left for one more album and so I picked out an album that had similar cover art, all rich and lucious. I had just purchased King Crimson's In the Wake of Poseidon. Now I'm hooked on them I've got all studio albums except The ConstruKction of Light. They're at the top of my list right now, and I mentioned full circle because ELP, my first favorite band, was formed by Greg Lake and Keith Emerson right after the breakup of the first King Crimson lineup (of which Lake was a part).

The next new favorite band with me never does get rid of the others before, and that's not to exclude awesome second place bands like Led Zeppelin, Cream, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, Renaissance, Blood Sweat & Tears, etc. Anyways, that's my story and I'm sticking to it!

As a Lil Kid i Always used to listen to Rock Songs whoever it was, AC/DC, The Cranberries, Nirvana Anything that was played, and i used to run around my house pertending i was jammin on the guitar and i went Crazy and a year ago i realized now i can get started, 14 years old i should be able to get going and here i am 4 months later. An Addict of the Guitar. Already able to play a lot that 1 year vetrens can't play im still only 14. It just goes to Show if u have a passion you should go with it. My guitar teacher showed my the Star Spanggled banenr and said some of my students take weeks to master this some tkae 1 week, but it is very rare for 1 week lets see if u can master it in 1 weeek. he asked me to try it out and i perfectly Site read it. I wasn't playing long. And thats when i learned i had a passion and i have promised myself no matter how hard guitar get, i'll never give up.

Hmmm...I really couldn't say where to start...

In my younger days (read: uneducated-about-good-music days) I was a bit of a bopper. Such sad, sad days those were... I won't get into that too much, there's too much pain and humiliation there...

Enter High School, and I became a bit rap obsessed, but I knew there was still something missing.

Three years of unsatisfying music and I discovered the guitar. Finally, satisfaction was found with the likes of Tommy Emmanuel, Chet Atkins, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Neil Young, Metallica and some other stuff, along those lines. This kind of music just does it for me.

Though, I still can't go past a rap song if it has a good beat.

And I like some classical stuff too (Tchaikovsky, Vaughn Williams, Vivaldi, etc.)

And is it all right for me to say that the thread poster certainly needs to get more Zeppelin if Stairway is her favorite?

Babe, I'm gonna leave you?
Since I've been lovin' you?
Gallow's Pole?
Communication Breakdown?
Kashmir?
Whole Lotta Love?
What is and what should never be?
Ramble On?
When the Levee Breaks?
Going to California?
The Rain Song?
Over the Hills and Far Away?

So many more better Zeppelin songs... Gah.

i remember exactly when and where and what made me want to play the guitar. the year was 1981, i was five years old, staying at my aunt and uncle's house for the summer, and i went into my cousin's room. he was about 15 years older than me, and into motorcycles, weed, and music like Dylan, Cream, Springsteen, and the Beatles. I used to go in his room and listen to music on his 8 track or turntable (you younger kids may not know, but these are kind of like stone-age cd's) and hang out. anyway, i walked in one time and he was listening to something i didn't like, so i picked another record out and put it on cause i liked to cover of teh album. i waited for a few seconds of silence and suddenly my ears were treated to the most insane collection of squeals and trills i had ever heard. then it faded into a a lowdown dirty funky beat, solid as a rock. i was blown away. my cousin came in the room and was like "oh you like VH huh?" that's right it was the intro to Mean Streets off Fair Warning, and it was at that moment i knew i wanted to make noise like that. still working on that sound, and still my favorite band.
