Who was your favorite band during your coming of age

Speaking of bongs, why is it that when I go to my local big bookstore outlet store, I can buy all kinds of magazines about growing dope, rolling dope, selling dope, and smoking dope, but I have to make an ass out of myself if I wanted to purchase a men's magazine by asking for it at the checkout register? Not that I would EVER want to do such a thing, it's just a thought.:)
 
definately a fan of Zappa, but not until after highschool

grew up listening to top 40 and some disco,

quickly learned to listen to better music

Elvis Costello, then with the attractions, now with the imposters,

Devo,

XTC

and a smattering of punk/new wave bands,


still listen to mostly late 70's and 80's 'alternative'
with some classic rock, (more doors/ the who than beatles)

and some jazz and bluegrass
 
The Beach Boys, Chad and Jermey, the Beau Brummels....
Lots of them in the 60s.

Rule 303
 
Jethro Tull "Aqua Lung"
When I was going to Catholic prep seminary in Chicago in the '70s, there was a bum who hung out on Western Ave. He looked just like the bum on the cover of "Aqua Lung". He'd go up to people and rasp, "Gimme a qwahtah!". The guys who had to wait at the bus stop where he loitered started calling him "Aqua Lung".
 
How bout the Young Rascals? :D
Felix Cavelleri was awsome..in 19-ahem.... they played my High School Auditorium.. somewhere in New Joisey!!...but I was just a wee lad..;)
barely old enough to remember...

Actually saw him at preform at Disney a year or two ago.. still rocked the house.. ( Or chair as it were:eek: )
 
Dude!

That's gotta be Dick Dale and the Del-Tones!

Just maximum excellence!

And then the Brits came in and ruined everything, but the Stones, Who and Animals were OK in their more reserved way.
