1. The CD didn't exist during my Senior year.
That's a baited question if I ever heard one.

10. well, on my turntable...
Back in 84-85, likely would have been Van Halen's "1984" or Metallica's "Ride the Lightning" or probably some older band - old Black Sabbath with Ozzy, Van Halen's first album, one of Led Zeppelin's first 4 albums, something from Deep Purple...

99. Wow! Another Brandenburg #2 fan!
I also loved 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6! I had them on a one-hour casette tape and played them every day of my junior and senior years, until the tape broke! Same for the first pre-recorded cassette tape I ever had, Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, performed by Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra.

13. Hell, when I was a senior, the neatest piece of stereo equipment
I'd seen was my brothers friend's stereo that had a four cassette changer :). We had no CD's.

That said, it was probably some 80's heavy metal. Iron Maiden or something of the sort.

16. Were You In My Car?????
The only ones you left out were Deep Purple, The Sweet, ELP, and Black Sabbath. I would have had 8 in there, and you mentioned four that would have been in there.

OK, where'd you go to high school, and why were you snooping in my car?

52. Were you the one bogarting the joint?
If so, then yes. And please hand it over to me, if it is still lit after 30 years.

I wasn't too much into the Sweet, though I had a secret infatuation with Suzi Quatro (strictly platonic, mind you).

31. I used to buy records from this store in the U-District
I had to put them on layaway. After buying a series of really obscure LPs and paying $2 here and there on layaway, when I finally asked him to pull the 13th Floor Elevators' first album off the wall and put it away for me, he finally said, "Who ARE you?" :D I was 15 or so at the time.

:hi: How are you?

59. I'm good! Onward into the New Year and all that
$ 2.00 for albums. I remember those days. I almost asked Greg from The Cynics for an autograph for you when we were at a party... but everyone had had too much libation at that point. Maybe next New Years. His wife was really fun to talk to, though.

Jefferson Airplane's first six albums

The Byrds: Notorious Byrds Brothers, Younger than Yesterday

Fairport Convention: Liege & Lief

Ten Years After: Cricklewood Green (I outgrew that one pretty soon)

I had about 100 LPs by then, but these were usually on top of the pile.

34. Hmmm, 1975
Teaser-Tommy Bolin
Bang a Gong-T Rex
Chateau LaFitte '59 Boogie-Foghat
STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN-Led Zepplin
FREEBIRD-Lynyrd Skynyrd
Black Water- The Doobie Brothers
I put "Stairway" and "Free Bird" in caps because I considered them, and still do, as two of the greatest Rock and Roll songs ever made. I also got into Kiss, Aerosmith and Savoy Brown as well as many others waaaaayy back when. "Bang a Gong" has some back seat boogie memories for me and Foghat was a fairly underrated band in my opinion, as was Tommy Bolin. This is sort of a cool thread. Thanks for starting it and letting us old folks remember the olden days. LP's, cassettes, and 8 tracks ruled the day! I miss the radio back then too. KAAY in Little Rock, Arkansas was one of the best "underground" stations in America. Anyone who ever listened to "Beeker Street" and Beeker Theater" knows what I'm saying.

40. "FFREEE -- BBBIRRRRRRD!!!"
God I hate that song

One of the amateur bands from our high school (circa 1977/78) mutilated it, and it became our most reviled song ever because we hated that stupid band so much (and they played at EVERYTHING in high school). My girlfriend and I would yell it at every concert we went to, just as a joke.

We made the mistake of yelling it at a middle-aged bar band one night down at the beach, and they started playing it.

AAAARRRGGGH!!!! (no disrespect on the original Skynyd version)

Stairway is my other most-hated song. Again because of the bad memories - always the last song at the school dances, and dweeby guys 6" shorter always found me for it - the world's worst dancing song.

Did like the Doobies and Aerosmith, though (other than them and Springsteen, I had girly taste in music)

66. That's right! I forgot about that album....
but "Ten Spot" is more like what we used to listen to Sophomore year. I listened to lot weirder stuff before senior year....I kinda turned into "Mr. Trad Rock" that year.

70. Dang, I'm old.
No CD players when I was in high school. Just cassette players. I can't remember what tapes I had in the car but I'm sure it was stuff I'd never listen to today. Probably along the lines of REO Speedwagon, Pat Benatar, Styx, etc.

71. Ramones, Queers, Screeching Weasel.
It was my punk renaissance. In a little over a year, I'd listen to nothing but hardcore and metal. Interesting how tastes change, but now I love to mix it up.

By the way, American Idiot is one of the best PUNK ROCK records of all time. Flame on!

74. On my Turntable/CD changer
Edited on Wed Jan-19-05 02:38 AM by Norbert
Elton John - Madman Across the Water
Yes - Fragile and the Yes Album
Rod Stewart - Every Picture Tells a Story
T. Rex - Electric Warrior
Carole King - Tapestry and Music
Todd Rundgren - Something/Anything

Rundgren would be a stretch since I didn't get this until a month before I graduated. I was a huge Yes fan and before spring had every album they made. I was aware that T. Rex was the biggest group across the pond at the time and wanted to hear more.

80. James Taylor, "Sweet Baby James," and Alice Cooper just
released "School's Out," and we didn't hear it till right after graduation, and he appeared live at my high school gymnasium, and we'd never heard of him, so we didn't go see him, and I've been kicking myself ever since. And James Taylor was so cute then (it was his first album and he had all his hair) that we all carried the album covers around with us at school, to drool at any opportunity. We were all crushed when he went so bald so young. I imagine he wasn't too happy about it, either.

85. Van Halen 51/50 Bon Jovi - Tokyo Road
I was in love with a metalhead and had to be blasting it all the time - it was my short-lived rebel period.
Tokyo Road

by Unknown
In a time, in a place
In a world, they forgot
Lives the heart of me
A part that just won't die
Just a boy, not a man
Sent to war, in a land
They said we'd fight for their freedom
But I felt like a hired hand

Sometimes I have to find my way
Sometimes I have to get away
Take me back to Tokyo Road
Take me back to Tokyo Road

Working hard, for a pass
Got the night, make it last
It was a time to remember
All my life I would never forget
In a bar, breathing smoke
Snorting whiskey, drinking coke
It was a time when no one would die
And there wasn't a care

Sometimes I wish it was that way
Cause sometimes I have to get away
Take me back to Tokyo Road
Take me back to Tokyo Road
Take me back to Tokyo Road
Take me back to Tokyo Road

This guy turns me around and he's pointing up the stairs
I found myself in her doorway but there wasn't anybody there
She walked in the room with nothing on but a red light
And with a smile she got so close to me.
She whispered something 'bout midnight
You know I didn't understand a word she said
But it felt so good
She knew that I didn't have any money
But baby I knew she would...

Take me back to Tokyo Road
Take me back to Tokyo Road

87. Bach, Vivaldi, Handel
I still love baroque music, but at uni got introduced to modern classical stuff - so now it's mystic minimalism and the French organ school.

93. Styx, Pink Floyd, Led Zep and the Cars
Styx-"Paradise Theater" was big my senior year. "The Best Of Times" was the Homecoming theme.

Pink Floyd-"The Wall". It came out a few years earlier, but the movie came out my junior year of high school, so the album was popular again.

Led Zep- "In Through The Out Door". Awesome album.

The Cars-"The Cars". My first rock concert, my Mom took me.
