Good memories Smurfy, sounds like you and I have some similarities in our pasts. My brother and I influenced each other musically as well. We had many common groups that I'm thinking were equally appealing to us, but then there were the other groups that one or the other of us just 'got' better than the other. I'd say he was/is the more adventurous of the 2 of us. He was probably the only person I knew who actually liked David Bowie in our crowd. Odd to say now, but back then, Bowie was just not on many peoples radar around here.
Those discussions with friends were great. We spent many hours walking around the pool table in our basement with the stereo blasting away.
 
Great times indeed.

It's real funny looking back at my youth where music was concerned....I was a little influenced by my brother who was into groups like Gentle Giant, Camel, Lindisfarne, Manfred Manns Earthband, ELP, whilst I was a bit heavier with Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, UFO, AC/DC, Ten Years After, Led Zeppellin, Free, Bad Company, Stray and Budgie to name but a few. I have great memories of those times as we flip/flopped our musical tates....particular fun was our  music evenings, where we would meet up at ours or friends house with the parents out of the house and bring a few beers and our favourite albums and made all the group listen to what we wanted to play. We had great discussions and both got into prog-rock together with Pink Floyd, Genesis, Yes, Mike Oldfield......ahhhhhhhhhhh them times were the best!

I always liked Supertramp, and I was a lonely guy in my crowd with that group ; )
 
Favourite is still Crime of the Century, although Crisis, What Crisis? is a close second.

Was never into Cheap Trick in the same way I was into Deep Purple or Supertramp or Bad Company, but I had an appreciation and always felt I there was something about them I was missing from my perspective and not theirs. I bought Budokan and Dream Police and tried to rekindle the flame and bought the album Rockford. It didn't work and I still have the same unsure(ness) that I had to start with.

Afraid I'm guilty of not buying enough of their albums. Live at Budokan, Dream police and Heaven Tonight. I liked the 80's hits through the middle of the decade but never bought. Guess I forced them to sellout. Surrender is my favorite track, great to hear when you're 13. Most music is best played loud.
