Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

First music I ever liked (kids music aside). Solidified my interest in that kind of pop-rock, made me a big VH1 fan in the early 90s.

Mariah Carey

'Fraid so. I completely lost interest in this type of music at one point, though.

Creed

Yep. It was my gateway into the sea of grunge that I had previously ignored. I no longer have an interest in Creed, Bush, Nickelback, and the like. Bands like STP and Pearl Jam that I subsequently gained an interest in, however, kept my attention to the present day.

The Dismemberment Plan

A guy I knew in high school recommended some Travis to me, and I liked it quite a bit. I asked him for some more over IM, and he said, "Forget Travis, download these Dismemberment Plan songs." Thus began my interest in indie music.

Belle & Sebastian

It took me about a year to get into this band, but once I did, I quickly found an interest in many other bands with a mellow, folksy sound. First it was B&S, and then I took a liking to Bob Dylan.
