"Subdivisions" was the first Rush song I liked. In fact, I had heard other Rush songs like "New World Man" and "Freewill" and never liked them all that much. But when I heard "Subdivisions" I loved it, so I borrowed Chronicles from a friend and copied it to a cassette tape, and once I heard the 2112 Overture I was hooked for life.

Another song I remember impacting me at an early age was "Black Sabbath." I had already heard "Iron Man" and "Paranoid" and liked them okay, so I pulled out my dad's Black Sabbath Greatest Hits record to listen to some of their other stuff and "Black Sabbath" really blew my sheltered mind. I ended up buying every Black Sabbath album from the Ozzy and Dio eras over the next few weeks.

Recently I've been listening to a lot of Grateful Dead... a band I've avoided for a long time because of people that I've known who like them. A buddy of mine finally convinced me to listen to the American Beauty album and I was a fan half way through "Box of Rain."
