Alas, that song cane out when I was out of college in 1980.
In 9th grade, I was just getting into rock, after years of playing jazz piano.
I didn't know many bands, other than The Beatles & other MAJOR acts.
Thinking about it now, it's probably Black Sabbath. The first song off their first album.
When that opening riff comes in and lands on a flatted fifth, I thought "You can do this in rock music?" I was hooked.
If you would have said junior year, I'd have said Superstition by Stevie Wonder.
