| My Musical Journey - 2 Years In The Making
This shows the evolution of my taste from my late elementary
school all the way through middle school. (Freshmen year next
year. Damn, I hate being young) :D | | 1 | Various Christian Rock Groups
I was raised in a very protective environment, and while that always has
its pluses, it gifts you with a great deal of crappy music. I knew practically
no music whatsoever until the second half of sixth grade. | | 2 | All American Rejects
Move Along. All during the fall of '06, my friends sung this song non-stop.
Finally, I caved in. Around mid-winter that year, I went out and bought my
first album ever. This phase lasted for a few months, until I was introduced
to the next step in my journey by a friend of mine. | | 3 | Linkin Park
Ah... Linkin Park. My friend Rob constantly ranted about the wonders of this
band. I caved in, deciding to see what was the hype was about. After
numerous terrible anime music videos had been witnessed, I went out and
bought Hybrid Theory, and later Meteora. MTM was picked up 6 months
later. | | 4 | Disturbed
I was actually introduced to Nu Metal by a 4th grader, which goes to show
what type of fans they have. At any rate, around this time I started 7th
grade, got a iTunes account, and bought all their singles. I don't think I
ever bothered getting an entire album. | | 5 | Avenged Sevenfold
Again, my friend Rob pulls through. This was the first real musicianship I'd
witnessed, though it took me a while to get into them. | | 6 | System of a Down
College friend of mine played this on the radio of his car one day while he
and I were patrolling the local strip mall for something to do. I asked him
the name of the band, and began listening repeatedly to their singles. It
took me probably 6 months to actually appreciate their musicianship,
however. | | 7 | Muse
Again, my college buddy Josh turned me on to them. Took me a while to get
into them, and I stumbled across them about a year after he talked about
them. This was a bit of branching out for me, and my first journey outside
the metal genre. | | 8 | Radiohead
This was a continuation of the Muse genre, and around the time I
discovered Sputnik. | | 9 | Opeth
Again, credit goes to Sputnik. Grabbed their Watershed album, and later
Blackwater Park | | 10 | Thrice
Josh gave me their Vheissu album about two years ago. I didn't give it
much of a listen, as I was stuck in my infatuation with nu metal....
However, I stumbled across them on Sputnik after about a week. (They're
everywhere here) and decided to give them a listen. The rest is history | | 11 | From here on in
The reasons for discovery become very boring. I read a few reviews of a
few albums, then go give it a listen. | | 12 | Nightwish | | 13 | Cynic | | 14 | Chevelle | | 15 | The Fall of Troy | |

04.04.09 | Jeez you're only in 8th grade. I feel like an old fart by going into college next year. | Waior
04.04.09 | Wow, Muse, Radiohead and OPETH in grade 8? Kudos, kid.
| Chewie
04.04.09 | strange, I'm the same order in Opeth albums as you | Skishua71
04.04.09 | nice progression, kinda similar to mine.
i went from the christian rock stuff to the mainstream rock, to nu metal (linkin park), to power metal, (Nightwish) to progressive metal, to classic rock, and now i'm sorta getting into indie and alternative.
good list. | MassiveAttack
04.06.09 | Honestly...you should cherish your days in high school you'll miss it. Then again college isn't so bad. Don't grow up too quickly youngin' | handoman
04.06.09 | josh is awesome for giving you vheissu | ZoidbergQuestion
04.06.09 | My story has a few of the same bands. I was raised on Country and Classic Rock. Then, about one year ago, my dad picked up Serj Tankian's solo album. It changed my life. I got into System of a Down, Metallica, and such. Then came indie rock, hardcore/punk, metal/nu metal (again), classic rock, and here I am.
Also, I too am in 8th Grade. EIGHTH GRADERS UNITE! | ninjuice
04.06.09 | Dangit another person who had much better taste at a younger age
The last 8 bands are great | MusicinaBox
04.13.09 | damn, i hadnt heard half of this shit when i was your age. pretty much all of these bands are amazing except nightwish (i dont get into that shit). btw gett the rest of Thrice's music, if you like Vheissu you will love it all. | poweroftheweez
04.13.09 | yeah i didnt get into half of this til i was halfway through high school. good stuff.
Between the Buried and Me is some more metal you should check if you haven't already. | Klekticist
04.22.09 | @poweroftheweez

Getting into the silent circus. :D | endlessartix
06.01.09 | I went from classic rock and pop to hard rock to screamo to alternative to prog to metal... and I'm still looking for new music. |
