Classical, Jazz, and Led Zeppelin...don't ask my how. But not a whole lotta variety until punk and new wave. It really was my awakening to popular music overall.

Oh right, ELO - my first concert! Journey opened for them at Anaheim Stadium. Big flying saucer, lots of lights and violins. Sister Mary (a surfing nun!) let us sing Telephone Line in 8th grade music class. Bahahahahaha!!!

I listened to Autobahn by Kraftwerk on a 4th generation cassette I got from my friend's older sister.
I listened to country because that's what was played in my house by my parents.
I listened to blues, and Celtic music because there was a community

I didn't get into any music until I was 10. The first song I remember liking a lot was "Private Eyes" by Hall & Oates. Then the first tape I ever owned was Thompson Twins, so I guess for me there was no life before New Wave.

New Wave became mainstream in about 1979. Billy Joel sang about it in his "It's Still Rock and Roll To Me": "It's the next phase New Wave Dance Craze anyway, it's still rock and roll to me".
Late 1970's New Wave: Joe Jackson, Elvis Costello, The Cars, T
