Your Musical Influences

[sXe]

Considering I'm sitting here glued to the Top 50 Boy Bands on Max, now's probably a good time to contribute

My family's pretty musical. Dad's been playing guitar in a band his whole life, brother can play just about any instrument, both sisters can sing...all the musical talent completely skipped me

Dad's band played Greek/Italian/English, mainly at weddings and things like that so pretty pop/mainstream things. Add to that the rehearsals were in the lounge room basically every week when I was in primary school it's probably no surprise I've got a soft spot for decent pop music.

Went with the crowd from Year 7-10ish, so that's where the R&B/Rap side of my collection comes out. Then when I heard Alter Bridge through the WWE that opened my eyes to the rock/metal scene. Pretty lucky really, it's meant I'm not too closed-minded when it comes to listening to music. Helps for conversation...and also means shuffle on my iPod is always an experience.
