in music?
For me it was in 1995, I was 13 and heard Pulp's Different Class album for the first time before that all I know was what my parents where into (Cliff, Bee Gees, ABBA etc!) and when I listened to it I was like wow. All the stuff that cocker sang about was so relevant to me as a 13 year old.
Even now when Pulp is played in clubs or bars it always gets the dance floor moving.
From there I discovered bands such as the Smiths, Joy Division, New Order, Echo and Bunnymen, The Cure etc and by 2000 I was an indie die hard. But from there I got into punk and classic rock.
So Pulp influenced my music taste so much in the 1990's by 2011 nearly all my social network is connected with my music taste, so if it wasn't for Pulp letting me discover alternative music back in 1995 my life would be very different now, for better or worse.
So if you could name one band which change your life what would it be?
PS Pulp are not actually my favourite band by a long way, but it is where it all started.
