    Default Bands you listened to before everyone else

    So what bands have you listened to, and then some time later, everyone else started listening to them? Mine would have to be 30 Seconds to Mars. I saw them in concert last November, really got into them then and now it seems like alot of people listen to them. So has this happened to anyone else?

    Jack Johnson, someone I worked with must have downloaded him very early on and I loved his stuff, I think it was only a year later he was popular, or at least he suddenly got played on the radio loads, singles out etc. Then I got a little sick of him cos of that, heard him too much. I think that's all though.

    It really bugs me when some fans act all superior because they heard bands first though... like omg we're bigger fans cos you only liked them when they became mainstream! Guess what, some people only get to hear bands when they become mainstream, so how would they know of them before? Gah.

    I was into Muse before all my friends got into them, and System Of A Down. I got Muse' albulm 'Showbiz' when i was about 10. No one I knew had heard of them, and I got into System of a Down before Toxicity came out and every one started to like them.

    I am proud to say that I had the pleasure of hearing Dave Matthews Band WAY back in 1992 and from then on, I was hooked as a fan.

    Take care all.

    Yeah, Everyone's all "YAAAAAAAY" DragonForce and they act like they just showed up or something, it's annoying. =/

    But since most people say that they like popular bands older albums and had really just heard them maybe 5 years ago. I've listened to NIN since NIN debuted because of my sister knowing that NIN is a great influence for a 4 year old child when she baby sat me. ^^
