I really hate to even say this, but as a kid the first record I remember listening to was "Thriller". M.J. may be a complete freak now, but I have to admit that that album shaped the way I look at music today.
The other band that sticks out in my childhood was Huey Lewis & the News. That's the phase of my life that I refer to as "rock-bottom".
The Ramones were next and without them I'd hate to think what I'd be listening to today.
Motley Crue and Guns n Roses are in there too.
But for the past 10 or so years, Green Day has definitely been the most influential band in my life. I was listening to them when they were on Lookout records, and they've been my favorite band ever since.
Oh, and I'll throw in the Donnas, cause they definitely don't get enough respect.
