Peter T,Ed Sullivan was a regular Sunday night show for us, and we saw the Beatles introduced in 1964. Our oldest was six years old. We bought Sgt Pepper when it first came out, and played it and played it and played it.The kids all adopted it and the rest of Beatles' music over the years. As you say, however, each one had another favorite or two they followed, but in our household it all played. Mrs and I cringed at some of it, as you suggest, but for the most part our tastes evolved with theirs. Our toes tapped eventually.The ballad singers such as Kingston Trio and Brothers Four, the kids liked too. We all liked Janis Joplin, and Hendrix.I never quite acquired a taste for heavy metal, but I know we had Black Sabbath in the library. It was played outside our hearing range. Mom and I still play Led Zepplin and Pink Floyd, now and then, but mostly Robert Schuman and the fella from North Dakota. lol.Oh Yes, I've gifted Triage to a daughter and a son.
