Like many others, I was raised on the rock music of the day. My parents(and by extension I) listened to Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, AC/DC, Metallica, Ozzy Osbourne, Guns and Roses and the like. In addition to hearing it on the radio and stereo at a young age(5-6ish) I started listening to my parent's albums on my own. About the age of 8 I got a TV with cable in my room, which led to me watching a lot of MTV and getting into Nirvana, White Zombie, Stone Temple Pilots, Green Day and so on. For a while, up until a few years ago, actually, I thought I didn't like classic rock music. As it turns out, I was just sick of hearing the same few songs that the local rock radio station plays ad nauseum, even today. Now greatly enjoy the likes of Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, and The Who.
