The Beasties and the Clash pretty much got me interested in music when I was a kid so anything I heard from them when I was say around 11 would fit the bill.

All of Paul's Boutique got me into so many different bands and songs that I would not have heard otherwise. I hunted down EVERYTHING that was sampled.

Husker Du - Celebrated Summer got me into 80's underground

Devo - Snowball got me into Devo. They are a major musical category for me (y)

Dinosaur Jr got me interested in guitar solos again

Sebadoh got me interested in angst again

Deastro (http://www.myspace.com/deastro) made me more aware of local music, and restored my faith in it.

An ex-girlfirend played this song Dig It (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFgUV44TTpY), by Skinny Puppy, and got me into industrial music back in 89' I've been into them ever since, amassing quite the collection...

Hearing No Sleep til' Brooklyn (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RI2IyHXJo5M) got me into the Beasties back in 86', this kid used to always bring his boombox on the bus to school, I heard that song and thought, wow, this is great, and have been into the Beastie's ever since, so thanks random boombox guy..

[Matt]

Hearing Stuck Between Stations (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Cem1ME-OvQ) reminds me that a song can be more than a song, but a whole set of emotions and a reminder of a time in your life when you felt greater than yourself.

[mate_spawn_die]

[beastieboysbaby]
