The Cars - Heartbeat City

Mine's the uncoolest so far...

Uh Musician78 you're about the lose the title.

Since the word "Child" was used, the first album I bought as a child was called "The Music Machine" I bought it because i was in a christian musical production by the same name.

I am only sorry they don't have samples on here http://www.cduniverse.com/search/xx/...ic+Machine.htm

i'm pretty sure that's the same album. i still have it on record somewhere...

*hangs head in shame*

Aerosmith Get your Wings - 1974

It was actually my sisters album but she let me listen to it whenever I liked.
So it found a new home in my bedroom.
I listened to it daily, wore it out.
Had the 8 track too and after much use the 8 track player ate it.

From there, went to Black Oak Arkansas, BTO, Kiss Alive, Van Halen 1 and 2, ZZTop, Priest (Hell Bent/Unleashed era) and on and on.
But I got bit by the rock bug from Aerosmith's Get Your Wings.

With that said, it was players like Joe Perry, Ace Frehley and Eddie that inspired me and got me playing guitar.

After alittle while of playing,
it was players I liked and studied Eddie, Lifeson, Schenker, SRV and others that showed me the mechanics and dynamics of playing and song writting.

A 45 of You Can Fly from Disney's Peter Pan

Hey, I was what, 6? 7?

We had an old jukebox in the garage loaded with records, and we thought nothing of it until we discovered you could open it and take the records out.

We had all kinds of stuff - Black Magic Woman, Who Are You (The Who) - and not the radio version, but the "who the fuck are you" version - some old Country stuff. Wish I had all those 45s today just to see what I missed out on back then
