Yellowcard. For several reasons.
I started college when Ocean Avenue was their newest. He up super religious, even after beginning to socialize after coming out of a homeschool hostage kinda situation, kept most of the thinking and such through high school.
The only "secular" music I listened to was country.
So that summer I built my first PC at my friend's house while learning how it all worked, and then like the next week attended my first LAN party at the same place.
Someone brought a drive with a bunch of ripped music and the it on the network, and I copied a bunch of it.
Later when back at home I started browsing just to see what was there. Chose yellowcard first because yellow is my favorite color. Album shoved decent so it got picked more often.
That was my first non-country (read: actual music), non Christian music I ever really listened to (other than clips of pop stuff in the background of commercials). I was still far from losing belief at the time, but it really struck me how good it was for being "satanic rock music".
Haven't really dug into their personal lives or anything, but I don't get bad vibes at all, and still enjoy their stuff.
It was a big touchstone moment for me in several ways. That memory has so much nostalgia attached to it because of how it kinda kicked off me becoming who I am, even if I didn't finish cooking until probably less than 5 years ago. I had a really slow start though.
