I'm probably a relative youngster here (at, yipes, 40) but it still plays
out similarly.  My high school years were the late '80s when, at least in
small towns like mine, most kids were into Motley Crue, Poison, Ratt, etc.
 Not being into that, at first I sort of divided my attention between the
psych and '60s side of "classic rock" (avoiding the bands who sort of
sounded like the hair bands I just mentioned) and "college rock".  The first
two bands I really liked were Talking Heads and R.E.M., and if you read
interviews and bios of them you would learn about the Velvets and Patti and
Television (forgive me for this) "NYC punk", so, maybe oddly, in 1988 or so
most of what I listened to was NY stuff from the late '70s and that's been
my primary influence and inspiration as a musician ever since.
