"Fade to Black" was definitely a song that impacted my life...


All Grateful Dead (sans Donna, can't stand her B flat tones) definitely gets me in a much better mental place, anytime of any day.

Albums that had an impact on me:

KISS - KISS Alive 2, This really got me into rock & roll. The first time I heard it, and looked at the concert pictures on the album sleeves, I was just completely blown away at the huge spectacle and power of it all. I was hooked.

Kansas - Two for the Show, Prog rock classic.

Rush - Moving Pictures, Rush is my #1 favorite band of all-time- always will be. When I first heard it, this album just mezmerized me.

I remember on my 13<SUP>th</SUP> birthday my older brother picked up Zeppelin’s “Physical Graffiti” for me (it had come out a couple of years before but I wasn’t really into that kind of music then). This album probably opened my eyes to music more than any other album. Over the next year I became a huge Zeppelin fan, buying all of their previous albums (and also got into The Who, The Stones and Aerosmith). Since Zeppelin hadn’t toured in a few years, my brother was very eager to see them when they were scheduled to tour again (I think it was ’80 or ’81) and promised to take me with him. Unfortunately Bonham died in late ’80 and the tour was cancelled.
<O:p</O:p
Anyway, I’m still a huge Zeppelin fan and my brother and I can still talk for hours about the band while tossing back a few brews and listening to their music. Ah, the memories.:banger:

This is the One that did it for a lot of us back when lounge singers, big bands and a very neutered Elvis were the only things on the Radio.

Trust me on this - it was like night before and day afterwards.

What album changed my life the most? Definitely the first one. Someone gave me an album as a gift.
'Cause then I had to go out and buy a turntable. Dang!

What CD changed my life the most? By some strange coincidence, again, the first one. Again, a gift.
And remarkably, for the same reason: Now I had to fork out the money for a compact disc player. Aaaarrrrrgghh.

I guess its all worked out though, I now have over 3,000 albums (between LP's and CD's)
...and several turntables, and a dozen or more CD players.

I am barely old enough to have been affected by that.

I was 3 IIRC, and my parents were renting a room in the basement to a "kid" who was going to OSU at the time. He had a reel-to-reel tape deck with headphones, giant things especially to a 3 year old.

I distinctly remember "Uncle Dave" engulfing my head with those headphones and allowing me to listen to music that was unlike anything I'd ever heard before. My parents certainly didn't listen to anything like that (and still don't).

I must confess that I remember not liking it at first. But for some reason I was drawn back to it over and over like a moth to a flame, until "Rock" was the only kind of music I liked for at least a couple of decades.
