My Top 20 Semi-Obscure 80's Bands
Recently, someone asked me if I had one band that changed me or made me who I am today? After careful consideration....Cheap Trick? Aerosmith? The Cars? , I came to the conclusion that more than a band, I was influenced by 2 radio stations. My dad installed an FM antenna in 1977 so he could steal (he didn't know it was illegal at the time) songs off of an easy listening instrumental station in Dallas to use for background music in our family restaurant. Well, this ALSO opened up my world to KZEW "The Zoo" and later Eagle 97. And those 2 stations out of Dallas TX changed who am I today. No doubt about it. Today I give you my Top 20 obscure 80's bands and I have only these 2 stations to thank for exposing me to music I never would have heard in podunk Brownwood TX. Enjoy!
