Gee, I missed some more. The first live concert I ever went to was Mountain and Montrose in the Paramount Theatre in Seattle.....OH YEAH!
My favorite genres are the 60s/70s/80s/90s and present day music covering Rock, Pop, Techno (House, Dance, Trance), Oldies and Deutsche Welle (1980-1986)/Neue Deutsche Welle (2000-present). (Neue) Deutsche Welle acts include NENA (known for 99 Luftballons/99 Red Balloons - only German song ever to hit #1 in the Top 100 of the Billdboard Charts, Jan. 21st, 1984) and other German groups who are making an impact by singing mostly or only in Germany. My favorite song list is way too long to list here but here is one from each decade: 60s: Sounds of Silence (Simon & Garfunkel - 1966) 70s: Love Hurts (Nazareth - 1976) 80s: American Heartbeat (Survivor - 1982), Missing You (Diana Ross - 1984) 90s: That's what Love is for (Amy Grant - 1991) Present - Breakin' the Habit (Linkin' Park - 2004)
