Everyone listened to Dark Side of the Moon, right? At least everyone I grew up with did. It took a bunch of really demented 10th graders to sit around spacing out to Animals, though. Well, that was us. Sitting around my friend Bob Joiner's house on the weekends while his parents were away and just listening to crazy stuff.
By the way, I have to credit Bob for having about the most eclectic musical taste of any 10th grader I've ever heard of. He's responsible for my initial exposure to King Crimson, Yellowman, Black Uhuru, Ian Dury and the Blockheads, Adrian Belew, Brian Eno and probably 10 other bands that high school kids have no business listening to (or abilty to comprehend).
