Message in a Bottle was new to me, because this was in my transition days from Country to Classic Rock. Before this time, I had only ever heard Roxanne.

Because I hadn't really heard all of classic rock yet, that's why Texas Flood was a surprise to me, PeeWee.

Surrender I had heard of, but never really listened to it. Big mistake on my part. Same with Gimme Shelter and Paint it Black.

Im absolutley shocked by you peoples replies

What it really does is show that there's a certain area of music we listen to and this emphasizes it. It also emphasizes what's played on radio stations in different parts of the countries. What it also shows is people's change in musical tastes after Guitar Hero first hit the market.

Were any of you even seriously into music before guitar hero?

Well your list was real small I kinda assumed that

I mean Jake Jinzo and glamy mostly

Yeah, but just different aspects of music. You have to consider, a thirteen year boy in a small town with no nearby record stores and a dad, who despite owning at least a ton in records, only ever played southern rock and jazz, doesn't have much options.

Tony wrote:

Not really. Unless you consider playing your French Horn night and day into music.

Like I said, I started Guitar Hero right when I was getting into the music I like now...so most of the stuff from GH1 influenced what I listen to now.

Wait...Jinzo, you play/ed the horn? OMG! I heart the horn, I've played it since middle school and hold first chair in my band...which isn't saying much since there are only 2 horn players. I have been told I'm really good though and made it to the area honor band...

Also for people who don't understand, the French horn is technically called the horn but people always ask 'What kind of horn?' so us Americans call it the French horn because they're lazy. It's not actually French even, I think it's only called French because it's in the key of F.

Tony wrote:

LOL.

Yeah Glamy, I still play Horn. I, too, have first chair at my school, and am playing first chair at All-County band (Although I think it might just be seniority). Our school has 4 Horns, but one of them originally played saxophone, and another trumpet, so they're kind of Horn Newbs.

Ah, you have no idea how excited I feel to see another horn player because I've only ever seen eight in Idaho that have actually stayed with it. But then again, maybe that has something to do with Idaho having .5%(probably less) of the population.

Not at all.

How is that a funny question when these were their answers?

Yes, but my music knowledge expanded significantly after I started with GH and after I joined GHG

My music knowledge was big at that time, no doubt, but not in the ways of more guitar based songs. At that time I was going through a phase of Pink Floyd, Queen, David Bowie, and a few modern bands. Then right now I'm into anything with a good bass riff, some catchy modern bands, and a bit of glam rock. But in between all of that and guitar hero it let me see more that I wouldn't go out and purchase.

i pretty much listened to only modern rock before GH and GHG, so i can say that expanded my music knowledge a bit.
