He was only 18 in that clip!+1My girlfriend was only 13 when she saw Free live but she was hookedI agree with the teenage years being the formative ones for taste in music For me it was early Queen etc and still is to these days

I believe that things like music, books, and films have the biggest impact when you're in your teens/early 20s. You can still like loads of new stuff as you get older, but I don't think you ever "connect" with it in quite the same way. I still like the bands I was into at your age, maybe you'll find the same when you're my age! :PThen again, I find, now, that I also like bands from the same period - '70s/early '80s - even if I didn't listen to them at the time. So maybe it's just that the music from "your own era" somehow reflects the "spirit" of the time it was recorded, and that's what you connect with.
but what do you mean by "nobody in real life"?
