I thought I would try this question to see what y'all enjoyed as "the" band growing up. Just post what band you enjoyed the most. And no "geez, there were so many..." posts. Pick your pony and stick with it. EDIT: Well, damn. I was going to do a poll. Oh well. My favorite was AC/DC. I can recite any song they did, word for word.
The Beatles. Yes, I am only 22 and I'm way too young to have been around for them in full swing. But when I was growing up (until I was 14, which was summer 1994) I wasn't allowed to listen to anything but KUHT and KLDE.
Beatles, then the Stones and the Who. But, then again, when I was in 12th grade, I was listening to Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters records while my classmates were all listening to Boston and Foreigner.
for a few years it was raffi...then it moved to BTO...and later to Incubus with AC/DC mixed in there somewhere along the line.
Grew up with AC/DC but like RMT I was listening to Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, and BB King by 12th Grade.
Nine Inch Nails They are still pretty much my favorite band though, and finally coming out with some new material in a few months.
Pink Floyd in the 70's. My dad had all the albums. It was the most appealing and most accessable. In the 80's it changed radically into Ozzy.
I wish I could say Pink Floyd or Led Zeppelin here, but that wouldn't be truthful. This is a tough question as I was more of a fan of songs than bands and it was all pop music/top 40. Billy Joel was probably my favorite artist as was Michael Jackson (that ended after "Bad"), but bandwise, I will say the Bee Gees. I still have almost every album they ever did (the exception is the out of print "Living Eyes").
