Hey guys, just wondering what your favourite artists were. If you could say what was THE FIRST song that got you into the band  that would be awesome. 

 

I'll get the ball rolling:

 

Iron Maiden-Seventh Son of a Seventh Son. Heard that on one of my Dad's CDs when I was about 7, and been hooked ever since

I tend to have moods and phases more than constant favorites, but these guys are consistently near the top:

 

The Clash

The Ramones

Tom Waits

Junior Kimbrough

The Decemberists

Buddy Holly

The Black Keys

Try

 

Radiohead - Creep, Karma Police, Street Spirit, No Surprises, High and Dry, Let Down

Dream Theater - Pull Me Under, Stream Of Conciousness, Root of All Evil, Another Day, In the Presence of Enemies Pt. 1

Metallica - Fade to Black, One, Master of Puppets, The Unforgiven,

Megadeth - Hangar 18, The Holy Wars... Punishment Due, Five Magics, Symphony of Destruction
