Ah memories. Probably the first "rock" song I ever heard was In The Mood. Kinda forgot about em for awhile till one day a bunch of us are parked out in the middle of nowhere smoking..um.. stuff, and 2112 was played on the radio for the first time. All I remember is everybody in the car had their eyes shut and their heads back listening to it.
Then I kinda forgot about em again until Hemispheres came along and that was the one you just had to learn to play. We were lucky enough to have a Neil Peart freak in our band so we actually got to play LaVilla live for awhile.
After that I got sucked into the 9-5 career world of sales, got married, had kids and life has been **** ever since. :(
