Didn't realise you were that old mate, l think it's cool that you got so into punk when it went straight over the heads of so many of your age group.

By 74 I was getting tired of the Rock star thing. I started listening to Miles Davis, Curtis Mayfield and James Brown. The record that really an impact on me was Horses by Patti Smith and the Ramones debut. I dove head first into Punk. It didn’t seem as pretentious.

Man, does THIS bring back great memories. I was 14 in 1969 and had EVERY ONE of these great records. We used to get together just to listen to albums (sadly, mostly guys - the girls 'n ganja came more into the picture in '70). WHAT A YEAR for music. A few other favorites from 1969: Cream 'Goodbye'; Ten Years After 'Stonedhenge'; Jeff Beck 'Beckola'; The James Gang 'Yer Album'; Santana (self-titled); The Band (self-titled); Vanilla Fudge 'Near The Beginning'; Jefferson Airplane 'Volunteers'; Pink Floyd 'Ummagumma'; Johnny Winter (self-titled); King Crimson 'In The Court of The Crimson King'; Chicago 'Chicago Transit Authority'; Moby Grape '69'; Blind Faith (self-titled); The Who 'Tommy'; MOI 'Uncle Meat'; Sly & The Family Stone 'Stand'; The Moody Blues 'To Our Children's...'; Janis Joplin 'Kosmic Blues'; Neil Young/Crazy Horse 'Everybody Knows This is Nowhere'; Grand Funk Railroad 'Grand Funk'; Joe Cocker 'With a Little Help From My Friends'; Jethro Tull 'Stand Up'; Crosby, Stills & Nash (self-titled); Bee Gees 'Odessa'; Julie Driscoll/Brian Auger & The Trinity 'Streetnoise'; Scott Walker 'Scott 4'; CCR 'Bayou Country'...and of course Rolling Stones 'Let It Bleed'. That's just the obvious stuff. Cheers Mr. Richie...

In 1968 I was into the Beatles and the Monkees, then for my 13th birthday I got Beggars Banquet and the White Album, and those two LPs introduced me to a more heavier music.

Richie, did you ask for the Canned Heat as a X-mas present or was it a ''random'' gift ? Glad to see Steppenwolf, one of my favorite bands that I discovered as a teenager. They had many, many hits, but there are great ''deep tracks'' on all of their albums. The song, ''Power Play'' from the ''Monster'' album should have been a hit. The Minutemen covered Steppenwolf's '' Hey Lawdy Mama''. The Steppenwolf version was only released as a single, it never appeared on an original studio album, just greatest hits comps.

So my exposure to rock music was limited. (AM radio). First LP I bought myself (early 70s) was The Byrds- Preflyte LP. 99 cents at Fed Mart. Didn't know who they were, they looked cool, so I went with that.
