Never really heard a Ted Nugent song before this and after the DC video came out I bought his greatest hits album. Don’t think I care for any other song on the album but I still listen to Stormtroopin’ and get pumped to skate.
-
Almost every album I bought as a teenager was because of a skate vid...
Some notable ones include:
- 20 shot sequence - 101 / kook g rap - killer cuts
- Da deal is dead / Curtis mayfield - superfly
- Debbie does blockhead / black sheep - counting black sheep
- Virtual reality - Carrol / casual - fear itself
- Tim n Henry - Sanch / black sabbath
The list goes on....
-
I didnt buy the album but Mikey Taylor's song in Skate More got me really hyped to find that song and download it. Thats the first song I remember really sticking with me
Doves - Pounding
-
As said above, most of my music influence as a teen came from skate videos. One major one for me that I can instantly remember off top was RJD2 - Ghostrwiter (Deadringer album) from Wenning and O'connor's part in Mosaic.
-
Jake Johnson made me like animal collective all together, I dont think i even liked the music i just liked that it made me think of his mindfield part
-
Def become a big Del fan from sals part in questionable. Ahone two is still one my fav songs . Def ran out to get the Lp
I was on hunt for the the ender song “burnt “ for years .
Checked our Cocteau Twins because of Klein .
I have made playlists on Spotify for recent skate vids that have some great songs .
-
Really like first two songs in the one habitat video Search the Horizon
Woods- size meets the sound
Babies- moonlight mile
-
Herman's part in Baker 3 made me buy The Man Who Sold The World; MJ's Pretty Sweet part made me buy Ziggy Stardust. I thank skateboarding for introducing me to my favorite artist of all time.
Also, Dustin Dollin in Let's Live skating to Mercy Seat made me buy Tender Prey.
-
songs: ohia in mindfield totally changed my life. they became one of my favorite bands, totally revolutionized the way i think about making music and has just been a major companion to me for a long time

Steve Berra’s part ! I couldn’t agree more . I’ve become so obsessed with anything Jason Molina related .
-
I bought the King Crimson album because I really liked the song in the intro to That's Life.
I did not expect that every other song on that album would be a snoozer compared to 21st Century Schizoid Man.
-
There are probably more, but these few come to mind:
Hsu "Bag of Suck" - Cass McCombs "Sacred Heart"
Blake Norris "Julia" Part - Narrow Head "Cool in Motion"
Glue "Smut" - Biohazard "Scarred For Life"
Melodi "Bug Collection" - Pavement "In The Mouth a Desert"
Melodi "Passing Through" - Krutch "All Against Me"
KRod in Hockey "Dancing on Thin Ice" - Type O Negative "Drunk in Paris"
Servold in Emerica "Green" - Fuzz "One"
$lave "Radio Silence" - Killing Joke "Primitive"
Dustin Henry in Lotties x Vans "On God" - The Sundays "Goodbye"
-
Most parts from This is Skateboarding or Kids in Emerica made me get out there at 11-12 y.o. and find any record shop around. Hope I can spend the rest of my life without hearing Explosions in the Sky ever again lol. Even thight pants made sense after looking up who's Jimi Hendrix or Roxy Music back then ;D I miss only having the option to skip a part (flip a record) rather than insta clips/part by part releases. Each new vid had at least a song that would make the whole thing so on point and brings you back just for the Vibes it made you Know. Fuck a last part.. the best song/part combo was the climax.
-
Great thread! This is one that was in constant rotation for me, and I probably wouldn't have been hip to it if it weren't for Foundation (which has a pretty good track record for soundtracks):

I loved everything about this video, especially the music
-
Roxy Music from Baker videos
-
Roxy Music from Baker videos
This one for me big time as well.

Probably would have never been into the band Placebo without Appleyard. Granted, most of their music sucks. Agree with all of the Krautrock bands mentioned above in $lave Radio Television. CAN is awesome.
-

Yes. Love that song. The song in Daewon's part was sick too.
-
I was like 11 years old and all the music I listened to was shitty pop punk like NOFX, Green Day etc but Reese Forbes' part in Element World Tour made me buy several Dinosaur Jr albums and those worked as a gateway to a more mature taste in music. Also, Radiohead - Let Down in the outro of that very same video had a huge impact on me.
Other noteworthy mentions from those days:
The Roots - Things Fall Apart (Because 100 % Dundee was featured in the chaos section of 411VM #34)
The High & Mighty - Home Field Advantage (Same as above but in 411VM #36)
Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation (Teenage Riot was in the Florida section of Transmission 7)
-
I hate to admit it but seeing the neckless wonder (biebel) and jeron's part in pretty sweet made me check out that meek mill song.
Other than that... BA in Yeah Right! put me on to interpol.
-
Sheffey got me to buy FU Schnickens.
BA for interpol
Guy Mariano for Band of Horses
Baker 3 for Project Pat

I wonder how many people tried to get a copy of that Knife song in Jason Lee’s video days part but couldn’t find one? Couldn’t have been just me

Love these tracks. Such a good part.

I found that shit on Limewire 8)
I can't remember if it was a rip from the video and had skating sounds in the background or not.

I remember reading somewhere that it was never officially put out but maybe it was on cassette. The Cry (H Street) is apparently putting out music again

I bought the album, but only liked the song.
Also, thanks to happy medium I started listening to deer tick and okay.
Evan schiefelbines part in the blind video introduced me to ambulance Ltd. Really good album.
-
I bought this record because the cat was done by Blender

Maybe more of a true confessions thing, but my last 2 purchases on iTunes in 2008 were BoH's albums from Guy's part.
Pretty sure I just got the Interpol albums from Limewire or Kazaa

They do have a full album on YouTube:

- "The Hours" by Beach House from Shane Goes. Loved Beach House but this made me get the album (and listen to it nonstop)
- Animal Collective and Dinosaur Jr. because of Mind Field
- Arcade Fire, M83, and Band of Horses because of Fully Flared
I know I'm missing like 20 other bands, but skating has introduced me to so much great music.[/list]

The album Beautiful Reasons by The Cry was released in 1989 on cassette but due to popular demand after Pontus used it in I Like It Here Inside My Mind, Don’t Wake Me This Time, they released it on vinyl and digital.

Kind of a bit of both. I got into a few BoH songs but it's been a long time since I have listened. I'm a huge mark for Guy so I'm assuming that was part of it. And it was his comeback. The funeral is still pretty sweet (pun!) Though! I definitely downloaded the mp3s of Interpol from somewhere

Mods, please change my name to kook g rap

Danny Way's part in Questionable made me buy the Big Drill Car album.
Then I listened to the whole thing and it sucked and I took it back and got a refund.
-
After seeing Jeff Lenoce's part in Baker 2G I had Andre Nickatina's album "Daquiri Factory" in my car CD player for a full year in 2002.
-
Most recently, got into Khruangbin because of that RVCA video that came out last year. The song in Zach Allen's part is brilliant.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPUUNa7nitY
Also got into Rudimentary Peni after seeing this part. Possibly my favourite band of all time.
-
A lot of the music in Pyramid Country videos. I really like Adeodat Warfield (Ryan Sublette)
-
I can't think of anything that made me buy an album. But, skate videos made me an Elliott Smith and Dinosaur Jr stan.
-
not parts really but watching Crailtap vids really put me on to Belle and Sebastian...missing the Crail Couch vids :(
-
- "The Hours" by Beach House from Shane Goes. Loved Beach House but this made me get the album (and listen to it nonstop)
- Animal Collective and Dinosaur Jr. because of Mind Field
- Arcade Fire, M83, and Band of Horses because of Fully Flared
This is me as well.
-
Spanly and shecks put me into the cure when I was 13 with arto putting me into the smiths and I think that’s the stem of the music I listen too!
Downloaded heaps of the dandy warhols after watching what if? which helped me find the Brian Jonestown massacre which are one of my favourite bands still to this day!
Stay gold helped expand my listening of dead meadow as did mindfield with animal collective
-
GANG!

Turn on the Bright Lights is such a good album. I'll still listen to it when I skate.
-
The Cry - Alone, admittedly because of Dane Brady in I like it here inside my mind.
Arto Saari in really sorry is entirely responsible for me becoming the HUGE Smiths fan I am today.
Ali Boulala and Geoff Rowley in sorry got me into Gray Matter.
John Cardiel (as y’all know is my all time favorite) made me a huge Brotha Lynch Hung fan at a young age.
Kareem Campbell in New World Order made me fall in love with Onyx.
The Boss’ part in the end for me into DJ Shadow.
Julien Stranger’s skypager part for me into Gangstarr. I knew of them before, but that’s the song that made say ohh la la.
Tosh Townend in this is skateboarding was my first exposure to Trojan era reggae and made me a huge fan of Lee Perry and The Upsetters.
However the most recent video that made me a huge fan of anything was Pyramid Country’s Daylight World. I’ve been a huge fan of Doomshop and the whole new Memphis rap underground sound.
https://youtu.be/M1hPEi_SxjI
-
Sinner really got me into Dubstep.
All Jokes aside. I am still bummed that the song Eva by habanero, used by Aron suski in this is skateboarding is nowhere to be found.
-
I stumbled onto the cd of The Knife Song like 15 years ago in Amoeba in LA and snatched it up as soon as I saw it. We Blew It At Some Point made me hunt down the Worked World "Art for art's sake" song. MJ in Modus turned me on to Built to Spill. The first section of TWS Greatest Hits turned me on to Pavement ("Embassy Row"). Jerry-->Cass McCombs. A ton more too, probably.
-
these parts cemented DJ as my all time <3

Like many, I own Ziggy Stardust on CD and vinyl mostly because of Arto Saari and Marc Johnson.
I bought the CD of Morrissey's album that has Speedway on it out of a clearance bin because of Heath's Mind Field part.
I own Raw Power on CD because of Mumford's part in Opinion
I bought the first Magnetic Zeros album on CD for Om Nashi Mi that was used for Reynolds's Stay Gold part.
Much more that I can't think of right now
Edit: I found In The Year 2525 by Zager & Evans on vinyl a month or so ago and bought it because of Dustin Dollin's Shake Junt part. I love that song
-
The Outro montage in Toy Machine - Good & Evil got me into Explosions in the Sky. For some odd reasons I had never heard them before but had read about them a lot in all the music magazines I subscribed to at the time.

Ed Templeton part in Welcome to Hell-sonic youth goo
-
^^
This. Welcome To Hell in general. Misfits, The Sundays, Jefferson Airplane etc. I love the music selection in that video.
Also Kenny Hughes in Element - Third Eye View.
Gangstarr- Work.
-
I knew about the smashing pumpkins before but Ben Kadow’s part in Blessed made me really look into them. Got siamese dream on vinyl now
-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7U00SqUFh2M&ab_channel=MichaelGigante
This part pretty much got me into Morrisey.
-
Johnny Layton's part introduced me to Wolfmother. Music from their album appeared in a couple more videos around that time.
He can't shake off the dick pic an injuries, he had a great rise to being a pro. From killing it at Thrashers King of the Road, making FS Feebles and grabs in street parts fashionable again (my opinion) and eventually switch 360 flipping everything.
-
https://youtu.be/cia8tVbrE1Y
This part let me know that PE had a new album, "How You Sell Soul to a Soulless People Who Sold Their Soul?" I got it because it's PE, not because it was in Koston's part.
When record stores went away, I lost touch with what was new. Insta has changed that a little
-
Mark Appleyard got me interested on Placebo, got hooked on Gray Matter because of Boulala and Alien Workshop introduced me to Dinsaur Jr and other good stuff, Dylan's skating to Elliott Smith is forever printed in my memory
Edit I didn't buy the albums, but I listened to too much Dinosaur Jr bc of AWS...
-
gareth stehr that's life made me shell out $5 on discogs to buy the hot machines single

Janoski in Subtleties
Moon & Antarctica - Modest Mouse
-
marc johnson's part in yeah right prompted me to go buy substance from joy division
d jr being used in the opening montage for good and evil prompted me to download you're living all over me
downloaded 'ragin, full on' after watching natas kaupas' streets of fire part
arto in really sorry - bought hatful of hollow immediately
geoff rowley in sorry - downloaded gray matters - take it back after watching it
there are a lot that im forgetting about but yeah, watching these at 12-13 steered the direction of my taste in music at a very young age.

Olson from Fulfill - Gangstarr (Full Clip / Moment of Truth)
Welsh from Free Your Mind - IMP Ill mannered Playaz

Too many to name so I’ll put the bands I’ve seen live solely because someone used them in a part.
Brian Jonestown Massacre, Wolfmother and Earthless. All played the songs that I wanted to hear live after someone skating to them.
I also seen Zappa plays Zappa, strictly off of my love for Zappa and they played Camarillo Brillo that Lucas skates to in Bon Appetit.
-
some pyramid country video, Ryan Sublette's part made me a huge Mariah and Yazuaki Shimizu fan
Utakata No Hibi is a banger album

Not ashamed to admit that in 2005ish I started really getting into electronic music and impulsively bought an album from a group (or artist?) I heard in the second Hot Chocolate montage.
Also, in the early days of bootlegging music I dug deep to find a Midwest Product album, which I heard in an On Video intro.
Speaking of, I'm going to embed this On Video because it's still great to watch in 2021
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suBZ5mJEE_4
EDIT: I never bought any of their albums but Explosions In The Sky was my most played artist on Spotify of last decade and I first heard them in a Toy Machine vid. Toy Machine videos always came through with the tunes.

I was like 11 years old and all the music I listened to was shitty pop punk like NOFX, Green Day etc but Reese Forbes' part in Element World Tour made me buy several Dinosaur Jr albums and those worked as a gateway to a more mature taste in music. Also, Radiohead - Let Down in the outro of that very same video had a huge impact on me.
Other noteworthy mentions from those days:
The Roots - Things Fall Apart (Because 100 % Dundee was featured in the chaos section of 411VM #34)
The High & Mighty - Home Field Advantage (Same as above but in 411VM #36)
Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation (Teenage Riot was in the Florida section of Transmission 7)
Wow, i bought the last 3 three albums mentioned for the same reasoning you gave. And for radiohead and dino jr., it just happened to be other skate videos that prompted me to buy their music.
-
Rick Howard- Ned's Atomic Dustbin

I think I came here to say something about how Sorry got little me into Velvet Underground, Edith Piaf, and David Bowie, but I’m ashamed to admit I forgot my love for Kook G Rap.

Operation Ivy. Inspired by Planet Earth Now N Later & Life Soldiers Story.
My mom got me the CD for my birthday. She had to go into some underground record shop and have them order it. What a G.
-
Heath made me buy Moody Blues.
Josh Stewart made me buy Dinosaur Jr. I know they were originally an AWS thing, but Memory Screen was before my time and I am from Tampa so I grew up on Josh's local videos.
Danny Supa got me into Kool Keith from his old 411 part to Blue Flowers.
-
Olson from Fulfill - Gangstarr (Full Clip / Moment of Truth)
Welsh from Free Your Mind - IMP Ill mannered Playaz
DJ Shadow - Entroducing (Reynolds the End)
Kevin Taylor Ryde or Die - Gza Liquid Swords
Good list right here.
I also bought Moment of Truth based off that part.
Since I was just reading about Carroll in another thread I’ll add that I bought Andre Nickatina - Raven in my Eyes after watching MC skate to Crack Raider in the Chocolate Tour.

The Ululation LP from all over A Visual Sound and John Coltrane with the Red Garland Trio "Gonz- some damn good jazz" from Video Days

I really feel like skaters have some of the most well rounded music tastes because of videos. Every thing from whiney Brit-pop, to punk, to non-mainstream hip-hop, to classic rock, to american alt rock (or whatever they call it), to jazz/blues. In HS my non skate friends had no idea what I was listening to.

I bought "The Fawn" by The Sea And Cake because of Appleyard's part in i.e. The same song, "The Argument", is also in Logic #6. Great album.

Nice. All the FTC videos have good soundtracks. My favorite is Penal Code 100A. I love that 8mm intro showing everybody set to "Whiter Shade Of Pale". Kicks off an awesome video so well. This upload swapped Puleo's song (Van Morrison-Caravan), but I think everything else is original.
