My brother is a huge Beatles fan, so I heard them quite a bit growing up, while I liked some of their stuff, never became a big fan. Back in the early 70's, I liked Michael Jackson and the Jackson 5's songs. In the mid 70's I was a massive ABBA fan, even saw them in concert. I wish I could say Meat was my first concert, but ABBA beat him by a couple of years. I also liked Queen, Billy Joel, Alice Cooper and a few Aussie artists, John Paul Young, Little River Band, Sherbert, Skyhooks. Most of my music back then was disco or pop. Then this singer came along with a completely different type of music to what I was used to, but he blew me away with that amazing voice. I saw him for the first time in 1978 when I was 17 and he toured Australia, and have been hooked ever since. During the 80's I got into KISS, , Bonnie Tyler, Belinda Carlisle, Phil Collins/Genesis, and a couple of Aussie artists, John Farnham, Icehouse, who I saw in concert a few times and became a huge fan of another Aussie band called 1927 during the late 80's early 90's. During the 90's I also got into Roxette, Richard Marx and Savage Garden/Darren Hayes. That's all I can recall for the moment, there are some more obscure ones that I can't recall the names of.
