35. What the hell??
When I linked to that, there was a picture of Genesis on there!!! Even when I did "Preview" it showed a picture of Genesis!!!!! Ahhhh...some bikini laden broad has taken over my Genesis link!!!

I can't edit it anymore....the time has past. We'll all just have to agree that that lady is al in all better to look at than Genesis.

13. REM, Green Day, Bruce Springsteen, Styx, Lowest of the Low
That last is a Canadian folk/country band that if you haven't heard, you really should. Their first CD "Shakespeare My Butt" kicks a lot of ass. 17 songs, every one of them a gem.

71. yes that was me!
First ever concert was Jethro Tull with my long haired pot-addled BF and his friends. I can still see the smoky haze in the arena. Tull was about an inch high from where we were sitting.

And Yes, yes I had many, many Yes albums and knew all the words by heart. It was a different time. And then punk blew it all out of my brain a year or two later. ;)

76. In real big arenas, the had "Tull-A-Vision"
I kid you not, big monitors so people in the nose bleed section could sort of see what was happening on stage.

Punk was a real breath of fresh air.

80. I don't think there was a monitor when I saw him
It was the 70s after all.

I can still remember my friend and I screaming "what is this?!" when we first heard Johnny Rotten on the radio, circa 1978. I keep telling the youngsters round here and in my real life that punk was a lot more complex ( and disco-like, at least if you listen to the drumming - I'm a drummer by the way) than they realize. Punk wasn't just mohawks, after all. ;)
