At first ... Slade, Status Quo, ELO and Thin Lizzy and then the heavier stuff soon after.

in the early 70's I heard FM radio and AM pop from the 60's and early 70's. I still love that stuff.

Slade, Scorpions, Nazareth, Black Sabbath..those were the bands I first listened to...

Love your list. What a cracking start! :grinthumb

ELO, Dire Straits and Pink Floyd were the first bands I came across, but The Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin were the first bands I started to listen to with a passion slowly progressing to hard rock and heavy metal.

Between my left and right speakers...
It all started when...

The Beatles and The Ventures...from my Pop's record collection. Then I graduated to Led-Zeppelin. From them, it led me to Aerosmith, Deep Purple, Queen, Sabbath and hard/blues rock bands.

Bob Seger, MC5, and the super Supremes!

I'm really enjoying reading about the different types of rock that others started with and am trying to guess the area that they were from based on their starter bands - mine is probably a no-brainer:) Thanks for the interesting thread!
