too many to name

My favorite group growing up was the Ramones. That was my mom's fault. My dad listened to some of the worst stuff ever, but he all listened to some of the good stuff, like Quiet Riot, and i used to love playing his Led Zeppelin vinyl on the old record player we had. I would put it on, then just lay on the floor and groove. My mom used to tell me i should've been born in the seventies the way i acted with music when i was little.

Also loved the Violent Femmes[i could sing you all the words to Gone Daddy Gone by the time i was 5]. I love Gordon Gano, that tiny little man. Haha. Pearl Jam was another one.

I also grew up with my brother introducing me to stuff like Marilyn Manson[who i still listen to, on very rare occasions], and Bush[though now i do think that Gavin Rossdale is such a joke]. He also took me to a lot of local shows when i was younger, and most of the bands that played then no longer exist anymore, which sucks.

The Beatles when I was very young. After they broke up it was The Who and Led Zeppelin.
