Pop music (WABC NY anyone?) on the AM radio in the early days. Followed by the Beatles and more Beatles. They were gods in my book for years.
Some of my most memorable times in my teens were J. Geils, Led Zeppelin, Allman Brothers, Black Sabbath, ELP, Pink Floyd, Cheap Trick, Johnny and Edgar Winter, ELO with a tinge of Jackson Browne, Todd Rundgren and Joni Mitchell. Damn, there were so many. There was music for different kinds of highs, and there was music for crashing or coming down. My iTunes doesn't even come close to covering all I can think of.
The first I really heard from females in music was during my adult (drinking age used to be 18) disco days. Donna Summer, Thelma Houston, Madonna. Those songs defined who I was and where I was at the time. The times were very different then.  |
Oh yes they were.
I was a little too young to fully enjoy the disco era, but I was an avid spectator. I was fascinated by the stories I'd read and the photos I'd see of the action at Studio 54. It all looked so fun and glamourous. Of course, as it turns out, it wasn't all fun and glamour to be sure.
Thank you snowy and will for your contributions, too. It's interesting to think of you guys as kids while LL Cool J and U2 and NIN were big...I was already grown, but I was listening, too!
Here's another one from the year 1980 that got a lot of spins on my record player that year...speaking of which, did you guys (will and snowy) have albums? Or did you go straight into cassettes?
It's really difficult to find good tracks from these albums
