Which friend or acquaintance most influenced your taste in music?
Submitted by Rev Stan.
My case is a tie.
The first is one of my college friends, Bill. Bill has been a passionate music fan ever since I first met him, and he's even parlayed that passion into a job (he reviews Music as part of his job with a Cape Cod newspaper). Bill expanded my musical horizons, tried to get me to appreciate reggae (sorry that one never took), and got me interested in the local music scene in Boston. Even today, I always check out his column for interesting new music.
The second is my friend Leslie. When we lived down in the Bay Area, she introduced me to groups like the Pixies, Replacements, They Might Be Giants, and Too Much Joy who remain favorites to this day. Much of the music on my iPod today is from groups that Leslie first introduced me to (but I found Barenaked Ladies myself!). :)
