I've been a proghead all my life. My first favorite band was Styx. I remember when I was 3, I saw the video for Mr. Roboto and thought it was the coolest thing in the world. Later on when I was 6, my aunt played for me Focus's Moving Waves album. I fell in love with Hocus Pocus, and Moving Waves was the first cd I ever got. It's still a favorite of mine. Later when I was 12, I got into The Beatles and later the Moody Blues, and then I got into Led Zeppelin at 13. When I was 14 I became a huge Pink Floyd Fan after seeing them in concert in 1994. From there, I moved on to Yes and through them discovered King Crimson, Renaissance, Genesis, ...

Born in 89.
1 to 6: Guns & Roses, Metallica, AC/DC, some Green Day, Black Sabbath, a little Maiden, Ted Nugent.
7 to 12 or so: All of the above and KISS. Pure Kiss obsession. Also a little bit of Marilyn Manson. Then Deep Purple, some Skynyrd, etc. Mostly classic rock, here. Around fourth grade I discovered Gentle Giant, which led me to King Crimson and Yes. The prog journey begins!
13 - now: Slayer was the first real metal band that I got into, and then Iced Earth, and now...a lot of bands, man! Kiss are still my favorite, though. Tons of prog along the way, of course. Also dig some other stuff like Steely Dan and Elton John.

1-9 - Russian pop
9 - 14 Russian rock groups Nautilus Pompilius and Aquarium, I still like Aquarium But they're the only Russian Rock band I still like
14-15 - Hard rock, metal.
15-17 - Prog. Regular old hard rock and metal seem too simple and straightforward to me now, I like more complicated music much more.

I don't know, whatever my parents listened to and Disney soundtracks
and the Wonderbuss tapes...well, that was when I was really young. In
my preteen years, I strictly listened to classical, but early on into
high school, I discovered Prog and here I am today with a new found
appreciation for good music (and that doesn't only include Prog, of course ).

Born in '62.
Pre-teen, CCR, CSN, Joan Baez, Woody Guthrie, Peter Paul & Mary, Mammas & the Pappas, Carpenters, Butthole Surfers, stuff like that....
In the 70's was lots of Kansas, and a major thing for Bowie. Plus Dire Straits, Chicago, Doobies, Gap Band, Bee Gees (pre-disco), and anything Motown.
Late 70's, Fear, Bad Brains, Mother's Finest, Black Flag, X, Siouxsie/Banshees.
In the 80's I bought all the Loverboy albums and went to see them live four times. So sue me...
I'm feeling much better now (although CSN still makes for a great evening of tunes).

Same. Well, actually, Chumbawumba - Tubthumping was my first album, but Reloaded was my first rock album, and that was when I was 11.

What i would listen to as a kid:
Elton John
Joe Cocker
Lionel Richie
George Michael
U2
(Basically what ever my parents listened to, i did)
As a teenager:
Korn
Limp Bizkit
Metallica
Creed
The odd rap song
Blink 182
(Basically what ever my friends listened to, and the radio gave me)
Now (almost 20):
Metal (the decent stuff)
Jazz
Classical
Folk
80s pop
And, of course, Prog-Rock
Plus everything in between that takes my fancy
I still apreciate the bands i listened to as a kid, and Elton John is still one of my favourites, but the stuff i listened to as a teenager i now stay well away from. Interesting, that.

Tom Petty
KISS (yep, I was a member of the KISS Army when I was five. My first concert ever was KISS with AC/DC opening, 13 Dec. 1977, at the age of 5. I outgrew the band by the time I was about 10 hehe.)
Most of the other stuff I remember liking from my childhood was just whatever my older brother and father were listening to. The most lasting of these was Rush from my brother, and Neil Young from my dad.

Bands I was into before I was 16.... Metallica, Chumbawumba, Green Day, Limp Bizkit, Orgy, Deadsy, Slipknot, Mudvayne, Static X, Linkin Park, Nirvana, Adema, Rammstein, Foo Fighters, Ever Clear, and I can't remember what else, but I was rabidly obsessed with Korn. Oh well, I was a kid, and I didn't know any better. But when I was 16, I started getting into Iron Maiden, and things started turning for the better, and I got rid of all my nu metal garbage.
