Lorraine Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 The Beatles - 1981Led Zeppelin - 1981Rush - 1982David Bowie - 1983Yes - 1984 Damn I feel old. You want to feel young? I could post my list. :codger: I'm reading the lists posted and I'm thinking to myself: You've got to be kidding. :laughing guy: DO IT I will just take Jane's list and put the year I began listening to the bands she listed: 19631969197519711971 David Bowie and Yes - off the top of my head I can't remember when I first heard them on the radio - either 1971 or early 1972 not sure which. Zeppelin in '69 and Rush in '75, damn you have some good ears for new music! Well, Led Zep had their debut in the Spring of '69, and some Rush songs were playing on the radio in the mid-seventies, so it was easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Analog Cub Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 (edited) Oh, also, how could I forget! The Who, 1982. Also the year I discovered Quadrophenia. It's weird to think that at the time it wasn't even a decade old, but to me felt like it was from a distant era of rock music. 1982 was a shit year for The Who :laughing guy: Come to think, any year after Moon kicked it was....

blueschica Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 (edited) Oh geez, Beatles- early, got started because friends' older brothers and sisters liked themRolling Stones- 1965 , someone gave my dad a little transistor radio at work and he gave it to me, I turned it on and "Satisfaction" was on; I have never turned rock music off since then :)My other groups, including Rush, came in from that . . Rush- 1975 (for a short time people in Pittsburgh weirdly used to get them mixed up w/ this other group, Mahogany Rush)The Who- 1970Led Zeppelin- 1970Black Sabbath- 1971 (could take them or leave them but they had a sound like nothing I had heard before!)Deep Purple- 1972 I have to go to bed now, I feel old Edited May 23, 2015 by blueschica 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 (edited) In 1975, I was all of eight years old, and FM radio played "Walk This Way" and "Rock And Roll All Night" regularly - I went from The Bay City Rollers to Aerosmith and KISS in'75, an soon made it Jailbreak and Thin Lizzy in the spirit of 1976 .... RUSH came along in 78 ... 1975 - KISS, Aerosmith1976 - Thin Lizzy1978 - RUSH, Dead Boys, Ramones, Schenker/UFO1981 - Iron Maiden I don't feel old - I feel fortunate . .

The Analog Cub Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Buddy Guy - 2001, when Sweet Tea came out my Dad got me into it. Sweet Tea is still a complete shock at how raw, gritty, and gnarly Buddy can get.I always like seeing Sweet Tea get some love DRIGTB, Living Proof, Sweet Tea, and Slippin' In are his definitive albums for me, cause they're pure Chicago electric blues. His new one's a grower but it's hard to get into cause he's tackling a new sound for himself. Skin Deep's fun to listen to mostly cause it's such a clean record that Buddy keeps throwing his guitar at, so the contrast is eerily enjoyable. Apart from these albums, his solo material is often unfocused cause he was always trying to make it onto the radio and lost his cohesiveness as a result (see Heavy Love, good lord). I haven't gone before DRIGTB to his Junior Wells stuff or his really old material. None of this matters unless you see him live. Buddy Guy is on a whole new level live and his interaction with the crowd supplements every. single. song. The man's a goddamn performance god.

CountFloyd84 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 I started listening to Rush and Yes in 2004. Genesis kick started my love for classic rock/prog rock in 2003. So yeah, I'm a newcomer compared to most people. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gudbuytjane Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Also, because my older sisters were into music, I was often aware of bands at various points of their popularity through them, but sometimes didn't really get into the band on my own until I was older. Like, I definitely remember The Wall coming out and being big, and listening to it when my sisters played the album, but it was probably four or five years later before I bought my first Pink Floyd album. Similarly when Queen's News of The World came out that album got played in our house a lot, but I was seven and probably just as excited to listen to the Cantina theme from the Star Wars soundtrack. It'd be a few more years before I developed a more discerning ear. ;) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It definitely fuelled my Beatles love. I was 11 or 12 and a huge Kiss fan. My mother HATED Kiss. So she took me to Beatlemania at the Shubert Theater in Boston in the hope that I would listen to something else. I've been an enormous fan ever since. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My older sisters were Beatles fans when actual Beatlemania was happening in the 60's (I remember them having all of those rare Canadian Beatles albums from the early part of their career, sigh, long lost to the waste bin), so I knew of them, and it was an older sister who took me to see Beatlemania and sealed my excitement. The first album I ever bought for myself was Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Edited May 23, 2015 by gudbuytjane 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
