Answer 3

I know you're after something different, but music has always been a big part of my life. I would have to answer Natural One by the Folk Implosion. When I heard that song it changed my whole focus of music I was into in a matter of 3 minutes. I still liked what I liked before, hell, to this day I still carry a couple Alice In Chains records (for example, I've always been kind of eclectic) on my iPod and smile everytime one of the songs shuffles up, but that was me changing from a primarily grunge kid to an indie rocker.

There have been songs that have been big in moments and have helped me when I felt something and couldn't articulate it, but no songs have really changed me aside from changing my music scope. Although I would count that as a very important thing.

Answer 5

Green Day-Jesus Of Suburbia
I'm the son of rage and love
The Jesus of Suburbia
From the bible of none of the above
On a steady diet of soda pop and Ritalin
No one ever died for my sins in hell
As far as I can tell
At least the ones I got away with

And there's nothing wrong with me
This is how I'm supposed to be
In a land of make believe
That don't believe in me

Get my television fix sitting on my crucifix
The living room or my private womb
While the moms and brads are away
To fall in love and fall in debt
To alcohol and cigarettes and Mary Jane
To keep me insane and doing someone else's cocaine

And there's nothing wrong with me
This is how I'm supposed to be
In a land of make believe
That don't believe in me

[Part 2: City Of The Damned]

At the center of the Earth
In the parking lot
Of the 7-11 where I was taught
The motto was just a lie
It says home is where your heart is
But what a shame
Cause everyone's heart
Doesn't beat the same
It's beating out of time

City of the dead
At the end of another lost highway
Signs misleading to nowhere
City of the damned
Lost children with dirty faces today
No one really seems to care

I read the graffiti
In the bathroom stall
Like the holy scriptures of a shopping mall
And so it seemed to confess
It didn't say much
But it only confirmed that
The center of the earth
Is the end of the world
And I could really care less

City of the dead
At the end of another lost highway
Signs misleading to nowhere
City of the damned
Lost children with dirty faces today
No one really seems to careeeeee

[Part 3: I don't care]

I don't care if you don't
I don't care if you don't
I don't care if you don't care
[x4]

I don't careeeeeeeeee

Everyone is so full of ****
Born and raised by hypocrites
Hearts recycled but never saved
From the cradle to the grave
We are the kids of war and peace
From Anaheim to the middle east
We are the stories and disciples
Of the Jesus of suburbia
Land of make believe
That don't believe in me
Land of make believe
And I don't believe
And I don't care!
I don't care! [x4]

[Part 4: Dearly beloved]

Dearly beloved are you listening?
I can't remember a word that you were saying
Are we demented or am I disturbed?
The space that's in between insane and insecure
Oh therapy, can you please fill the void?
Am I retarded or am I just overjoyed
Nobody's perfect and I stand accused
For lack of a better word, and that's my best excuse

[Part 5: Tales of another broken home]

To live and not to breathe
Is to die In tragedy
To run, to run away
To find what you believe
And I leave behind
This hurricane of ******* lies
I lost my faith to this
This town that don't exist

So I run
I run away
To the light of masochist
And I leave behind
This hurricane of ******* lies
And I walked this line
A million and one ******* times
But not this time

I don't feel any shame
I won't apologize

When there ain't nowhere you can go
Running away from pain
When you've been victimized
Tales from another broken home

You're leaving...
You're leaving...
You're leaving...
Ah you're leaving home...

Answer 6

'Sweet Child O' Mine' because it made me look up the rest of Guns N' Roses' songs, and from there I found other bands like them. I started playing the drums and guitar, and I found more great bands. I guess I've got Slash (one of my heroes) to thank for writing the lick, and Axl for writing the poem that inspired that song, because if they hadn't, I probably wouldn't know half of the great songs I know today.

Answer 7

Girl with far away eyes - Stones
I now have more respect for the hos and religious people of the world. Thank you Jesus. Thank you Lord!

Answer 8

Detroit Rock City-KISS

made me realise being a KISS freak/ metal head was better than being a cheerleader.

Answer 9

Peter Gabriel--- In Your Eyes

Beautiful song...always gives me goosebumps!!

Answer 10

Abraham, Martin & John...by Dion (1968) That song profoundly affected me then, and to this day it still does.
