Had an Uncle who LOVED the Beatles, but also had some KISS albums(Alive 1&2)My first experience in Rock. My Mom loves the Motown stuff, so big influences in my pre teen years. Listened to some Pop stuff(Billy Joel etc) THEN came 1983, and on the radio blasting from a friends boombox was nun other than Def Leppard's Photograph I was hooked and never looked back!!!
