Several come to mind, Van Halen, “Panama City”, Quiet Riot, “Comon feel the noise”, AC/DC, GNR, DEF Leppard, ZZ Top, Poison, CCR, LED Zepplin, Eagles, yada yada..... but I remember these boyz. Wrecked my pops brand new truck on a rainy night in Maltby The souf ....and punched the gas with one my pods at the passenger seat encouraging and wasn’t a good deal....slid sideways and off road. Truck was less than a week old.
Day 16, a song discovered by yourself as a tween: Christmas, third grade. My grandma decides to give me a tape player and a copy of Billy Joel’s An Innocent Man. My aunt doubles down by giving me a copy of Air Supply’s Greatest Hits.
Shout out to my dads for making sure the third album I had to explore on my own devices was slightly more age appropriate.
One of my jr high teachers / coaches bought a house in our neighborhood as I was moving into high school. He was 2-3 yrs out of college, and a cool guy. One day, some buddies and I were heading out to fuck around and saw him painting his house...LSS, we stopped to help him. He was cranking tunes, and suddenly this song came on...and I’ve been a Joe Walsh guy ever since.
DISCLAIMER: There were NO clothes removed, showers taken, or Rhythmic Slapping Noises heard, during the creation (or re-creation, for that matter) of this story...
Busta Rhymes existed on the charts at this time, but only Woo Ha!!, which was kind of a gimmicky song that I never got into. In 1996, I was up late watching Yo! MTV Raps (remember that!?), and up comes this gem from the Fugees, Tribe Called Quest, and with Busta Rhymes making you forget all of the above with the last verse:
Back then, because I was a poor, I used to just record MTV hip hop shows to VHS, then output that to the tape recorder to make mix tapes for the car. The above song went straight into rotation.
And I went straight to the record store to pick up Busta Rhymes' first solo album. And then this song completely melted my mind:
The Beatles were my favorite group as I kid till I was 17 and bought Let it Bleed because the cover looked cool. Probably the most important album ever in influencing my musical taste.
I had a girl friend that played violin and she also played the fiddle. So I liked fiddle music a little bit better and when I stumbled upon this guy in high school I was hooked on Cajun music.
I was fortunate enough to spend about a month in the summer of 1980 with family in Bergen, Norway....btw Happy Constitution Day to @NorwegianHusky. Well, during the 9+ hour flight to København, I passed the time by listening to the music they loop on the airplane. There was some good shit being played, like The Police’s Walking On The Moon & The Boomtown Rats’ I Don’t Like Mondays, but one song on that loop really caught my ear. It was Joy Divisions She’s Lost Control, which has been a huge influence on my musical tastes. I went down that Post-punk path and discovered so much incredible music.
Tomorrow is the 40th anniversary of Joy Divisions couch sale. RIP... Ian Curtis

(Just ignore the ending...)
The Throbber discovered the choreography to this before hearing the tune itself.
