Probably what got me into music was listening to Beatles albums when I was little. Also I remember hearing the high school jazz band do this sweet funk song when I was little, and it made me really want to play music.

I liked 50's-60's rock music, things like Churck Berry, Beatles, Stones, WHo, Kinks, and garage rock. That got me playing guitar.

But punk rock showed me anybody could rock out out. You didn't need to get signed to a abel, or play anything fancy, or even learn anybody else's songs. That got me playing in bands.

True. I think that grunge got a lot of people into trying to play music with others. For example, back when I thought Nirvana was really great, I got my first distortion pedal and started jamming with other kids at school. I've always dug improvisation. Also, indie bands have been influencing and inspiring me a lot as of late. The idea that now with computer recording you don't necessarily need a label or anything is really inspiring. Also old Ween albums are sweet because it was just them recording ideas on an old 4 track recorder.
