What is THE tune that changed everything for you ?

[Session 5]

When I was 10yrs old, I remember listening to my radio playing Beatles music. That's when I was initially introduced to rock, and I liked the beat and catchy tunes they did. Then in 1964 I watched them on the Ed Sullivan show and I was hooked, the music just stuck with me.

I think the defining moment for me was when I heard "Pictures of Matchstick Men" by Status Quo. I wore out the 45 I had. But groups. Probably Sabbath. Purchased the Black Sabbath "Paranoid" album. I was sold. I liked rock that hurts.

I got to thinking about my Van Halen statement about them doing some covers better than the originals. Then I couldn't remember who actually did the You're No Good song. Of course, Linda Ronstadt, duh.

Well, this is actually the original. Dee Dee Warwick in 1963. But Linda Ronstadt absolutely killed it with her version. As did Van Halen.
