Hawkeye21 2,399 Posted April 27, 2020 Grew up listening to oldies on the radio. Even though I grew up in the 80's I loved the music from the 50's and 60's. My dad always listened to music from the 60's and 70's and I enjoyed it too. The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Who, Mellencamp, Springsteen and The Rolling Stones have always been some of my favorites. In the early 90's I was influenced a lot by the music my brother listened to. I was a big fan of alternative and grunge music. Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Green Day, Everclear and Counting Crows were some of my favorites and still are. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ozzy - Diary of a Madman - Got this very soon after.

I could be wrong, but it seemed like The Game was one of the last albums that featured Brian May and Roger Taylor sung tunes. Nothing wrong with Freddie, but I felt that things went downhill a bit when all songs only had him singing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
