Day 16

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.

Day 16. In my mid-teens when I first heard this. Opened a whole new door of music

Day 15 and 16 all together

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.

So you get 3 of his foot stompers - 3 for 2

Day 16

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

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.

Most probably wouldn’t agree with me, but Controversy is my favorite Prince album.
