The Suzanne Crough thread became off topic rather quickly, and I was thinking we should start another thread and then @Susan1 suggested it as well, so I thought I would go ahead.
As a kid I was rarely allowed access to secular music, with the exception of what was on TV, like The Monkees, The Partridge Family and whatever variety shows were on in the late 60's and early 70's.
I was not allowed to listen to the radio. My dad left in 1974, and my mom started to relax the restrictions, and so I got my first radio by the time I was 13 in 1975, which was also the year Queen released "Night at the Opera". My earliest rock influences have stayed with me, as I still prefer 70's rock and prog rock.
David Cassidy was my first musician crush, but I was only 9 at the time. Davy Jones was also pretty cute!
When I started listening to rock, my crushes were (and still are!) Tommy Shaw (Styx) and Steve Walsh (Kansas),
David Gilmour (Pink Floyd) and Roger Daltrey (The Who).
