(2,431 posts)was 1975's Ricochet. A fellow dorky teen had a cassette copy. I had already been plumbing the depths of my parents' collection of records they used to listen to when they were single, but stopped when married. Some of those gems:
1. My Goals Beyond -- Mahavishnu John McLaughlin
2. Strange Days -- The Doors
3. Animals -- Pink Floyd
4. A Day In The Life -- Wes Montgomery
5. Snowflakes Are Dancing -- Isao Tomita
... and so on. It was up to me to discover TD, The Mothers of Invention and Miles Davis.
If my musical exposure had been limited to the stuff my parents could agree upon (Gordon Lightfoot, Side 2 (only) of The Dark Side Of The Moon, Brian Jones-era Stones, The Beatles) and the stuff that most of my peers listened to (The Cars, The Go-Gos, The Cure), I probably would never have picked up a musical instrument.
