But i was hooked when the Johns came to Rutgers and played the multi-purpose room. adada-had a college roommate who had the album, which i kind of liked.Rhubarb_Runner - I first heard TMBG when Weird Al Yankovic hosted an hour of MTV and played 'Don't Let's Start' (I seem to remember he favored TMBG because they feature an accordion).To spite my idiot older cousin, who hated the video, I ran out and bought the EP on tape, even though I didn't have a proper tape player to listen to it! I've been hooked ever since. Megan - I first saw the video for 'Don't Let's Start' on MTV while vacationing in snowy Delaware over x-mas.Just saw my second live show last night in Seattle at the Moore, first live gig I've seen with the full band. Managed to catch a live a few years later (just the johns) and it was so excellent to be surrounded by a few hundred people who dug the band as much as me. Struggled to find anyone else who dug em and wanted to talk about my new fav band. I was immediately hooked, ran out and bought the cassette. Marticlepan - I was 16 - I also saw Don't_Let's_Start video on MTV.The first time I saw Them was in 1988 when I was two. I called the Pink Album 'Doggie Songs' when I was a wee one. FrankEinstein - I was a baby in 1986 and that's when my dad started me listening to Them.

Then he let me listen to the first album and I've been hooked since.

My dad pointed it out to me but I just thought to myself, 'So what? Who the hell are they?'.

bgfunk76 - I was 10 years old and the local newspaper here in the Pittsburgh area had an article about TMBG.

Beanmom - I was 16 - I saw 'Don't Let's Start' on MTV, bought The Pink Album on cassette, and was totally hooked.

We lost touch during college and I just happened to stumble across the 1985 demo tape.

Lomeister - I grew up in Lincoln, MA, and went to school with the Johns.
