What were some of the gateway bands or artists that got you into certain genres? What got you into X genre or Y type of music? Let's have a little discussion about this in this thread.
I'll go first. Probably the main gateway band for me that got me into punk and it's various sub-genres is Reel Big Fish. I came across a video that featured one of their songs, and soon got into their music afterwards. Aside from RBF, a few other bands that got me into punk were Green Day, The Offspring, and even The Click Five of all things, because at the time I grouped them with other 2000s pop punk bands. Keep in mind, nowadays, the latter is more of a normal pop rock band in my book, but that's besides the point.
I'd love to hear what were some of your gateway bands and artists. It doesn't have to be ones that got you into punk, it can be any genre, ska, rock, reggae, techno, pop, ext. Or, heck, even what got you into older music, like any gateway band or artists that got you into 90s or 2000s music, or anything else that got you into specific types of music. Any discussion is appreciated.
