1975

The only songs I really remember listening to are Kashmir, Wish You Were Here, and Fire. Kashmir was one of my favorite songs in middle school and that intro is pretty badass. I didn't get Wish You Were Here until last year but it's pretty awesome. That's my favorite song from that album. Fire isn't quite as good as Love Rollercoaster in my opinion, but it's probably one of my favorite funk songs. 

Tom Petty

I missed the Bruce Springsteen day but I wasn't too bummed. Rosealina is kinda the only song of his I like. 
Tom Petty is one of my favorites though. 2 years ago I got to see him at the Erwin Center and we had pretty good seats. I was blown away by how good he sounded for his age. He sounded the same as in all of his recordings from 30+ years ago. I wasn't really a fan before that concert. Even though he's so old at this point, during intermission he started smoking weed on stage which blew my mind.

The Who

The Who we listened to was awesome. This is probably my favorite Aerosmith album also, but I'm not a big Aerosmith fan. Something about Aerosmith just bugs me. I think they kind of sell out later and try to be what people wanted. However, 10 Inch Record and Sweet Emotion are pretty sweet. Those and Back in The Saddle are my only Aerosmith songs I listen to. 
The Who rocks though. There has never been a better intro than Baba O'Reilly. That whole album was pretty stout though and I didn't think there were any weak spots. I would buy Who's Next before Toys in the Attic any day.
