The Cramps were always a huge favorite and it used to bug the shit out of me when my mom actually LIKED them.<br />Later, stumbling across The Sonics and other "60's punk" bands also made a huge impression on me.Heath Lowrancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07009721666729276126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1130397031953077904.post-79775951929222138142010-12-17T03:28:23.966-08:002010-12-17T03:28:23.966-08:00C.N. and Booknut - hmmmmmm, Roger Miller seems to ...C.N. and Booknut - hmmmmmm, Roger Miller seems to feature quite heavily in our formative years!<br /><br />Janet - LOL - how sneaky (and very clever).

I wore out the Dire Straits Brothers in Arms record, too. My parents' Roger Miller and Tennessee Ernie Ford record got a lot of play at my hands, too.<br /><br />Biggest obsessions were Pink Floyd and Jethro Tull, and I never outgrew those.<br /><br />Eventually I picked up Guns 'n' Roses and pre-1992 rap, and I never really outgrew those, either.C.
