Who Influenced Your Taste in Music?

[Dragon Master Mike]

I pretty much got 90% of my taste in music from either my mom or dad. More my dad than my mom. I have a variety of music I like.

Until a couple of friends showed my my now all time favorite band, Dream Theater (Progressive Metal), I didn't really have a taste in music. I liked bon jovi and random radio music. I found Dream Theater though and that led me to all kinds of other music.

I listen to a lot of classic rock, some of my favorite examples being Led Zeppelin and Blue Oyster Cult. I also listen to tons of metal, including Iron Maiden, Megadeth (Most should know at least one of those two, heavy metal), And Dream Theater. Love classic metal like Judas Priest too.

I don't like blues very much, but I will listen to some of it. Jazz gives me a headache. Don't really like Rap either, but I like SOME Pop.

Some other bands I like include Boston (Classic Rock), Halestorm (Hard Rock), Queen (Every single person ever should know this), and Rush (Classic Rock)

I think we could be bewst friend, you know. I found Dream Theater from playing Rock Band as a young child, which influenced my love for rock music. Love how complex and emotional the riffs and the lyrics of the music where, not to mention because of Dream Theater I've been more inclined to finish things throughly since their songs are about 5 (Being one of the shortest songs they have) to about 48 minutes (which was broken up into several parts)
