Same timing here. I started playing guitar at age 11 in 1975 (so you are not much older than me if at all ;). I was also playing drums at the time (Started drums first actually). I cut my teeth on Zep and Pink Floyd then Yes, King Crimson and other prog. Then I got into 60’s stuff (Doors, Stones and others) and more commercial pop and rock. Played in a few bands in high school and abandonned drums along the way. Then a brief punk period and I was suddenly in our equivalent of college. I had always listened to a wide rande of music including some classical but in college I widened my tastes to contemporary composers (Glass, Reich, etc.) I always had eclectic tastes.

In the 80s I really got into pop and new wave, The Police and Andy Summers were a huge influence on my playing as was U2 a bit later. In 1985 I joined the first incarnation of the band I would be in until 2000 when I stopped playing seriously. We were a decade too soon to take advantage of the web…
