I don't know. Going by your handle I'm assuming you grew up in the seventies, like me (I was born late in 1961). For me, the band that got me into music appreciation was the Beatles, this was around 1970, the year they broke up. I was too young to have seen the excitement of Beatlemania circa 1964 and yet, I can feel the same excitement. I think certain artists like the Beatles and Rolling Stones as well as Led Zeppelin, who I did see, will always have an impact on generations to come.

By the way, you need an avatar, Sly :D

Born in the early 60s so my teen years were the 70s. Got into the band around 69 but my fandom for them was at an all time high from 1970-1973.

I don't know to upload an avatar on this :(

No, not at all.

I'm a big fan of them, and I was born in the year 2000


Then again maybe I do so just because I was exposed to them so much in my youngling years (thus I'm so accustomed to their sound). My father is just mad about these guys
