Mine too (but not Molly Hatchet).  Alice  Cooper was the first LP I ever
listened to both sides of.  Foghat was  a big part of my formative years. 
Throw in Blue Oyster Cult, early Judas  Priest, Deep Purple, Kiss, AC/DC,
Rainbow, early Scorps, Ted Nugent and you  get the idea.   I still listen
to a lot of that stuff.  I'm  not ashamed nor embarrassed.




My brother left his Cooper and Tull 8 tracks behind when he went into the  
Air Force in 1975. I remember about three years later I was still listening to  
that stuff and my neighborhood friends were referring to Alice as a fag.  
Meanwhile, they were listening to the Village People, It was the beginning of a  3 
decade struggle that continues to this day as many of my peers can't grasp 
the  concept of me being a record collector and a fan of stuff that isn't in the 
Top  40. 
 
All those bands you mentioned above were bands that I was and am still a  fan 
of. Those bands were called heavy metal back then. Maybe they're more along  
the lines of hard rock.
 
It isn't that I don't embrace new stuff and remixes of old songs. I was  
listening to the remix of Elvis' A Little Less Conversation today at work. I  love 
that. I'll probably draw some jeers from the board on that one, but I  really 
dug it.
