The first rock band that I've listened was Deep Purple (I was 10 years old).It's inspired me to make a band with my friends, covering DP's song.
I was a lead vocalist,and Smoke On The Water was my fave song.
That's a great moment of my teenagers.
Deep Purple is one of the living legend~classic rock~band.

AH ! it's interesting, i was asking that myself to a "friend" yesterday evening
I was saying one of the song i like so much ("it's so easy"- see my signature) makes me think about someone each time i hear it. But really stronger, you know that gives me goose pimples !
and when i hear 'la grange" zztop, it reminds me the night me and my boy friend won the election of the best harley davidson ! nice memory too !
theres some more happy or not ...
"but when i'm down and feeling blue, i close my eyes so i can be with you ..." it's a song we were laughing about with my bf, but now, i'm alone to remember this, cause hes dead now and this song is exactely what i think, and i love it now ... strange ...
But i really feel music, its so important in my life, that's maybe why i can connect so much events in my life with thousands of songs

that's a good story Jess... good songs too...

for me it is:

Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here/Led Zeppelin III because those two albums got me into playing guitar - or at least made me first branch out into classic rock and the great guitarists...

the Scorpions song "Life Liked A River" got me through my whole A-level course - from about xmas 2001/2 until june i listened to this song at least once every day...

the whole these days album - especially it's hard letting you go - not because of the lyrics or anything soppy, but just because i think it is a beautiful song, and it reminds me of the whole 1995/96 time of my life.

other than that actually going to concerts to hear the music live have been the most important things for me: G3 1998, BJ 1996, Springsteen 99, DP 2002 have all been so important in shaping me as a person.

That really is a hard one....

I'd possiably say it was Space Truckin'. Probably a lame reason, but the Deep Purple shows last year saw a call back for this song. I'd never seen it before, and it was without any doubt the most exciting 5 mins of my entire life. I've never quite experianced anything as intense as that, and I'm sure I'll never forget that feeling.

Other than that, I suppose on of the most important to me is Highway Star, because it's the song I virtually learnt to play rock organ from; Hoe Down by ELP, because it's really difficult, and I can play it note perfect! Genesis - Driving the Last Spike - this is the first song I can ever remember hearing (first from a rock band in anycase), so it has sentimental value, plus when you listen to the lyrics, the song still really means something....

I always feel like bursting into tears when I hear Clapton's Tears in Heaven, I suppose this has provoked me in the past to look at what I have got, and really makes one think about the importance of family, and the ones we love......

Then again, i'm trying to work on a prog rock album at the moment, basically a musical version of Shakespeare's Richard III. Ok, protension I know, but the insperations behind this were Rick Wakemans 6 wives of Henry VIII, and ELP's, Tarkus. So I suppose these are directly influencing my music the most at the moment!
