Freshman year, some guy down the hall in my dorm played "Lady" by Styx (or was it Kansas?) over and over at high volume. I still shudder whenever I hear it.
Bob Seger (Live Bullet) was always in rotation in Michigan. The first Boston album was released just as I left for school. Talking Heads, Genesis, Springsteen, The Who, Rod Stewart, Patti Smith, Sly Stone and a bunch of others, including Elvis, played locally -Ann Arbor, Detroit and/or Pontiac- and were always heard a lot after the shows took place. Sometimes a song on the radio will recall one of those performances. Same deal with George Thorogood.
