I've got to say CCR. As far as softer stuff I would say America, later the Eagles. When I was in college, in Marquette MI, I saw America in Green Bay WI., Green bay is directly south of Marquette and on the way back home I got to watch the northern lights all the way home. Jim | |||

As a kid, my parents played the Beatles quite a bit, Blood Sweat and Tears, Simon and Garfunkel, Broadway show tunes, and Classical music. Not too bad, condsidering. THEN, one day in 1976 (7th grade) I went over to a friend's house to hang out and a few of his older / high-school siblings were there, and they played Led Zeppelin, absolutely CRANKING it out on their Bose 901's! In addition to Zep, my friend's older siblings turned me on to The Stones, The Who, Santana, Hendrix and a lot of classic rock'n roll bands of the era, which I still favor to this day! That day at the Cassano's house forever changed my life! __________ __________ "I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal labotomy." | |||

Jefferson Airplane when I heard White Rabbit for the first time. Later on Heart and Leslie West (Mountain). Nantucket Sleighride caught my ear. The “POLICE" Their job Is To Save Your Ass, Not Kiss It The muzzle end of a .45 pretty much says "go away" in any language - Clint Smith | |||

Agree with Pal on America...for that genre. Fleetwood Mac's first album snagged me too. But I'd have to go with Pink Floyd. Hadn't heard much of anything from them previously, but one day I went into the sound room of a local stereo shop, complete with acoustic tiles and the first Mylar speakers. I listened to the whole Wall album in perfect stereo and was blown away. That was the beginning of a lifelong obsession with all things Floyd. ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil."

I wasn't a music fan at all as a kid, but then I randomly overheard the Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show while eating dinner one night, and their sound really was just magical. The greatest rock "hook" of all time, however, has to be those two notes.....by Hendrix. "Crom is strong! If I die, I have to go before him, and he will ask me, 'What is the riddle of steel?' If I don't know it, he will cast me out of Valhalla and laugh at me." | |||

I also had musical beginnings with Black Sabbath when my uncle let me borrow Paranoid. I was 4. I think the band that truly hooked me was Queen though. Columbia House 8-track club! I got Jazz and News of the World on the same day. | |||

The Happy Jazz Band, live from the Landing on the San Antonio Riverwalk, on WOAI, Friday nights, in the ‘60’s. Of course, I loved almost all Dixieland, Louis, Pete, Bix, Turk, Bob Schulz et al. I am a 2 time graduate of the America’s Finest City Dixieland Jazz school. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

Clapton, in all forms but probably Cream was the first hook. Place your clothes and weapons where you can find them in the dark. “If in winning a race, you lose the respect of your fellow competitors, then you have won nothing” - Paul Elvstrom "The Great Dane" 1928 - 2016 | |||

The Beatles on Ed Sullivan on Sunday, February 9, 1964. The next week my hair was combed down instead of up and I bought black boots, black pants and a guitar.
