I was a child of the 80's (graduated HS in '85) and felt like I was born in the wrong decade :-). All of my strong musical interests were 60's and 70's bands - Rush, Zeppelin, Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd, The Beatles, The Who. I was completely smitten with what became known as progressive rock. Even when I discovered jazz, it was fusion from the 70's (Return to Forever, Jean Luc Ponty, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Al DiMeola, etc.)...could it get any more 70's :-). How I would have loved to have seen some of those bands live back in their hayday of the 70's!

As I grew older, my musical tastes expanded and the 80's and 90's didn't seem quite as musically barren as I thought during the time. Regardless, the 60's and 70's gave us some rock guitar classics that just cannot be avoided!
