Music is good for the Soul

1997
This is the year I started moving away from hardcore/punk and more into indie rock.

• Trans Am
• Cake
• No Doubt
• The Promise Ring
• Beastie Boys
• Shelter
• Cornershop
• Cibo Matto
• Björk
• Rachel’s

1987
I got a jambox for my 10th birthday the year prior; the first two albums I owned were Run-DMC’s Raising Hell and Beastie Boys’ License to Ill. Then, the year after 1987 I attended my first two concerts—New Kids on the Block (with Tiffany and Tommy Page) and Debbie Gibson (I think Bros. opened). Make sense? Prolly not…

• Beastie Boys
• Run-DMC
• Debbie Gibson
• Janet Jackson
• Madonna
• U2
• Journey
• Weird Al Yankovic
• Michael Jackson
• Bon Jovi

1977
I listened to whatever my dad was listening to, and I’m pretty sure this covers it. I was one year old.

• Led Zeppelin
• Eagles
• Black Sabbath
• REO Speedwagon
• Creedence Clearwater Revival
• Allman Brothers Band
• Jimy Buffet
• Foghat
• T.Rex
• Boston
