[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 633203, member: 2189"] DS, Something else about that period was the music wasn't as genre specific to the listeners. What I mean is, I liked music across the spectrum from basic rock, to progressive to even Motown and dare I say it, yes I even liked Karen Carpenter. I still think to this day she has one of the most amazing female voices in music along with Annie Haslem of Renaissance. Even with early Sabbath of which I was a huge fan, we didn't call it metal or heavy metal, that all came later.
