Finally, someone mentioned Lynard Skynard, an all-time fave.

I liked it all. I just turned 50 so I seem to be a little younger than most of y’all, but I had a brother and sister many years older than me who had really different tastes. My sister was into Motown and pop, and my brother was into rock. I loved Deep Purple, and my first concert was the Bee Gees. Early '70s was a lot of Bread and Carole King; late '70s was disco. My parents listened to country, so I was primed when Urban Cowboy came along in 1980. The only genre I mostly didn’t like was heavy metal. I didn’t listen to a lot of punk rock, though liked the occasional song that kind of crossed over (think Relax in the mid-'80s, by Frankie Goes to Hollywood, which had its roots in '70s punk).

Has anyone mentioned ZZ Top?
