your favorite music as a kid

[stevierocks87]

My first major band obsession was The Cranberries, from around 8 or 9 to 13 or so. The first CD I recieved as a gift was Ace of Base "The Sign" and the first CD I bought was No Doubt "Tragic Kingdom".

Being a little kid in the early 90s, my mom and I would listen to Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots, R.E.M. etc. She raised me good I will never forget driving down the road singing "Shiny Happy People", and I always hear her voice doing Kate Pierson's part when I listen to the song (same with the chorus of "Interstate Love Song").

I got into the Mac and Stevie around 10. Of course I was a total Spice Girls fanatic in the Spice Era- 1998 or so? I loved Alanis Morissette and got into Sarah McLachlan, Natalie Mechant, and other "Lilith"-type fare a few years later. I went through a period in middle school when I listened to really ****ty music like Lincoln Park and Nsync but my musical tastes were back on track by high school
