My Dad couldn’t see why I might want or need my own way to play music or listen to anything he wasn’t interested in, and my Mom didn’t care. So I missed anything in the 80s that didn’t make it to top 40s locally.
I got to explore music more after I got to college, and I’ve tried to explore since. The Oldies station was the only station which came in anywhere in town so a mix of 50s, 60s and 90s pop is what I grew up on. STP, RHCP, Soundgarden, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, RAtM...

I’d actually never heard REM or the B-52s in Georgia; they were far too Queer or liberal to get airplay there. So of course one of the first things I checked out was Automatic for the People, which made me an instant fan.
