SeanLites: First song that i heard from band (random order)

JKing92 05.16.22	This is neat. It's definitely interesting to look back on how we discovered various bands. I actually discovered 1 the same way you did (I used to play a ton of San Andreas in middle school on the PS2). I discovered some of the other bands on the list the following ways: Deftones - "My Own Summer (Shove It)": Heard it for the first time as a freshman in high school, I was out skateboarding with my friends and a friend had this on his playlist on his iPod (it sat alongside songs like Green Day's "American Idiot" and System of a Down's "B.Y.O.B."). I bought White Pony and Around the Fur during my second semester that school year, and absolutely loved both (though I am more of a fan of White Pony, admittedly -- both great, though, of course). Slipknot - "Wait and Bleed": I actually remember the exact time I heard this -- it was my brother's 11th birthday weekend in May 2006, we were on the way to an amusement park, and this song came on the radio, and even though my parents changed it, I downloaded the song later on iTunes, and it was in frequent rotation during my summer 2006 nu metal phase. I haven't listened to much Slipknot since late middle/early high school, but that song does hold a lot of memories for me. Nirvana - "Smells Like Teen Spirit": I heard this one on the radio back when I was 13 or so, and it absolutely blew me away. I wound up purchasing a copy of Nevermind in seventh grade, and it was the best thing in the world to me during that period of my life. I've come to prefer In Utero nowadays, but, as a misunderstood 13/14-year-old with braces and zits galore, Nevermind was life-changing. Radiohead - "Creep": I remember hearing this song on a friend's playlist in my early teen years. I did not get too deep into Radiohead's work (and discovering how much I really did not like their stuff outside of their '90s albums) until a year or two later, when I heard The Bends and OK Computer and realized just how great those two albums were (Pablo Honey was pretty good, too). But while I am kind of sick of "Creep" at this point, it was my introduction to their work, and while I would ultimately hit a weak spot with their 2000s discography (to the point where I haven't even heard their last two albums in full -- though I will admit what I heard of AMSP at the time it came out sounded OK), their second and third albums will always resonate with me, and that may not have been the case, had "Creep" not been there to intro me. This was fun.
widowslaugh123 05.16.22	Sick list
kkarron 05.16.22	Radio X left out the bitching outro to Unsung though.
IsisScript80 05.16.22	Yeah, fun concept. Can't, for the life of me, remember the majority of my first exposures, but I do remember Nirvana: A buddy from high school created me a mixtape of random stuff he was digging at the time (included things like Alexander O'Neil, randomly), and on it was 'Nevermind', copied second side first, so the first thing I heard of them was Cobain's highly sarcastic "Come on people now, smile on your brother..." from 'Territorial Pissings' and from that moment, I felt in the midst of something powerful.
JKing92 05.16.22	Just wanted to mention, that's actually Krist singing the "Come on, people now..." part at the beginning of "Territorial Pissings."
IsisScript80 05.16.22	^Really? Ah, well... cool. Thanks, JKing... that's a shitload of years with the wrong impression, lol.
Bedex 05.16.22	build your cages on nfs hp2 is a top tier m/
MikeToreno 05.16.22	I use to think it was Dave Grohl because he sang the majority of backing vocals until I watched Nirvana playing this song live
MrSirLordGentleman 05.16.22	"In the End" ROCK LEE VS GAARA AMV LINKIN PARK will never get old
Supercoolguy64 05.16.22	Radio X was how I found out about helmet too, used to think it was Pearl Jam lol
Feather 05.16.22	I’ll never forget a kid sitting next to me at a school assembly in 5th grade had an original iPod, I had no clue what it was because I had never heard of one. Handed me a headphone and I heard American Idiot for the first time. Great mems.
ReturnToRock 05.17.22	Because I'm old, I only remember a couple of instances: Prodigy - Voodoo People - on an old (amazing) ad for an anime company that used to come at the start of Portuguese kids' VHS tapes. Prodigy - Firestarter - The same place everyone else heard it: Wipeout 2097. Green Day - When I Come Around - On the radio I used to listen to in 8th and 9th grade. Limp Bizkit - Break Stuff - See above.] AC/DC - Highway to Hell / Back In Black / You Shook Me... - Took out the CD from the library at my language school. Black Sabbath - Sweet Leaf - See above. Iron Maiden - Where Eagles Dare / Flight of Icarus / Run To The Hills - See above. Jethro Tull - Aqualung - See above.
IsisScript80 05.17.22	“Prodigy - Firestarter - The same place everyone else heard it: Wipeout 2097.” Brilliant game, but the first time I heard ‘Firestarter’ was on Top of the Pops when it released and went no. 1. Memorable video and went hard with a great aesthetic and brilliant performance by Keith Flint that instantly made him iconic, causing an uproar in dopey U.K. primetime world.
