I have an older brother, he was a 60's child and always blasting his speakers around the house. The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Jimmy Hendrix, Cream, CCR, The Who, the Birds, Alice Cooper, David Bowie, Thin Lizzy, Led Zeppelin....etc. I definitely was influenced by many artist from that era.
The 70's may have not been up to that measure, but the Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, ZZ TOP, REO, Boston, Van Halen, Lynard Skynard, Aerosmith, Doobie Brothers and others are in pretty darn good company when it comes to my generation.
