Just curious as to what Househeadz, Trance Minions and Robotic Technoheads were rocking to prior to EDM.
Personally I was listening to Punk, namely 77 style, (The Clash, The Vibrators, etc.)
You know you weren't born an EDM addict, so speak the f00k up. |

| I never really had a musical preference before EDM. I only owned a few hip hop CD's, and the Matrix soundtrack.:p Pretty much only listened to the radio, or whatever CD's my friends had. |

i was devouring every type of music i could get my hands on, discovering stuff my parents and their parents listened to (Leadbelly, Led Zepplin) to classical music and rap, (Tupac to Bethoven) and everything in-between (bob marley to Grateful Dead.
but once i was exposed to EDM, that was it, i never bought another CD of crap you can hear on the radio 100 times in one day.
i still liked live Dead, i guess thier shows made up for all the raves i missed as a kid. and im kicking myself for missing Bonaroo, AGAIN!
btw, i WAS born addicted to EDM, it just took me 19 years to find it... |

i listened to the synth pop definitely!!! i love old disco and 80's music.
it's all about the euro big synth eighties band hahaa :p
and if i wasn't listening to that kinda stuff...i listened to Tori Amos, Bjork, The Cardigans, Garbage, U2, etc etc...
i think the transition to trance and EDM in general is pretty obvious coming from those roots... |

Punk rock with a little bit of metal and "normal" rock thrown in.
I used to listen to it in a big way, especially bands like NOFX, Pennywise, Incubus, Millencolin and the Vandals. |

My dad raised me mostly on Joy Division, Led Zepellin, The Cure, Depeche Mode and the Mondays.
Then when Ian Curtis died and Joy Division became New Order, it all changed... |

before trance it was Eve 6, 3eb, Live, Gin Blossoms, Better than Ezra, etc. and all the other alternative bands of the late nineties.
I'm also a huge country and classic rock fan.
If I don't mix things up I'd go crazy. |
