Classic Rock Showdown #2

Correct. I have never watched CSI. I don’t watch much TV at all.

I think what I have and haven’t listened to comes down to my age. When it came to listening to music made before I was born or while I was a wee sprog, I went first to music like the Beatles, Small Faces and Gene Pitney on the pop side. None of these rock bands were on my radar, and were bands I knew the name of, but had never heard any music from. They weren’t the kind of bands that were in my parents record collection, or played on the radio stations they listened to.

After my phase of listening to music from the past (not including all these greats that I knew of, but never felt the need to hear), I moved on to purely music of the moment. And when I next dipped into the past, it was purely for the more prog bands. I have heard the odd song from all of the bands in this poll and the last, but never a full album. Oh, I lie. I listened to Led Sel’s In Through The Out Door after it was mentioned in the 1979 episode of The Album Years podcast from Steven Wilson and Tim Bowness. I really quite enjoyed it, too, but it didn’t really sound like any other Led Zep I’ve heard, so that’s probably why. 

Am I not allowed to be a music fan, if I’ve not heard all these songs?
