Born in 99, so as a member of the youtube generation I pretty much had access to "all of music" from the get go.

It's obvious but also interesting how "time-locked" everyones favorites' are when they are say 10+ years older than me.

12 is an interesting age and good post by you.

Very little access to anything but the radio and Midnight Special on Fridays and Don Kirschner's Rock concert on Saturday. Even then money was tight being 12, I could hold a cassette recorder to the radio or get the 45's when they came out.

Most of these came from my school mates that allowed me to listen to their music. I was so lucky that hard rock was a big thing in my school so I listened to my favorite genre of music.

[Quick, trade-out that Rush 1980-release for one from '78.]

Thanks, I won't tell anyone. Started with 2 subgenres and did not like them. Just videos so went to music and that has been interesting. Moving now to specific bands. Will take a look at Rush. It may be good. Thanks
