I’m not sure how many people can remember the first time they
ever heard music. Most people might be lucky and remember around what age but
not what artists. I however remember pretty much all of them. Thanks to my dad’s
cassettes that he’d play in the car, I remember Van Halen and Boston
being the first two bands I ever listened to who I liked enough to remember their
names and want to hear more. This moved on to listening to my dad’s mixed
cassettes in the car with artists that ranged from Don Henley to Rush to Ronnie James Dio. I was even introduced
to some of the more obscure artists that my dad would listen to that I know a
lot of people have never heard of such as Tygers
of Pan Tang and Riot. I grew up
with all of these artists and I credit this to my love for music and most
importantly my love for classic rock.
