I think I was teething on The Bee Gees when my brother slapped me upside the head and told me to stop listening to that "bubble gum" music and put my (transistor radio) on FM!

I still fell for The monkees, The Partridge Family, Bobby Sherman (Don't look at me like that.......I was a teenager and I swooned over him!) and all that kinda stuff when I was hanging with my girlfriends but my brother wouldn't have any of that shit. So we listened to The Stones, Cream, Jefferson Airplane (currently known as Jefferson Wheelchair!...LOL!), King Crimson, The Beatles, Joe Cocker......and all that stuff of the time.

I soon realized that I didn't HAVE to like what he liked to still be cool to him, so I started listening to Janis Joplin, Black Sabbath, The Guess Who, Ten Years After, Mott The Hoople....and stuff like that!

After a while I found Aerosmith, AC/DC, Van Halen....and then came U2, REM, etc....and all those kinds of bands and I thought......I found myself!

I still love Aerosmith, but I also love some of the new stuff too....such as Green Day, Staind, Train, Creed, Flaw......etc.

I have to say though.....my very first memories of any kind of music beside church music.......is of Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, Beny Goodman and The Big Bands.....etc. This was my mothers doing and I still like to hear it from time to time!
