Well, youngsters...The first two albums I really kicked on and bought myself(with my mothers money

) was Mötley Crüe's Shout at the Devil and T.N.T.'s Knihts Of The New Thunder. My older sister influenced my taste too and from her collection I got my ears into Deep Purple(In rock). Dio(Rainbow, Black Sabbath and of course the elf himself), AC/DC, Kiss, Accept, Scorpions, Saxon and many others. Then I discovered this amazing band called IRON MADIEN and I was hooked. Early and late 80's bands came and went but some was to be around like Metallica, Helloween, Megadeth and a few others(The 80' were great and I grow horns and see read every time anyone mentions the bad taste in music of that era thinking about the pop and disco and never mentions the great metal scene.ABBA and Kate Bush were great though. As we said back then: Heavy's for Heroes, Synthz' for zeroes...). Latest 80's and early 90's came around with a very big disappointment(bad albums from my once heroes) in the metal scene and I stared to search around and got really into(re-discovered and digged myself through their material) Led Zeppelin, Rush, The Who, Zappa and a lot of other 70's great rock bands, an of course the english punk scene. Then came a new punk scene from Seattle which some I liked and some not. At that time there was two spectaculary bands with their own sound that messed my head up and those were RHCP and Faith No More (and i discovered SLAYER!). Some of this bands is still ALIVE and some have their dignity(from my point of view)...What else to mention about the 90's? Yes, TOOL, Type 0 Netive, Rammstein, Dream Theater, Ween and maybee a few others. Late 90's and till now is the most interesting scene in any genere of rock/metal scene in a long time mention QOTSA(a absolute favourite), The White Stripes, Muse, Nightwish and several other bands that have to proove that they're got something...
