@Adam West Coaster
Green Manalishi is obviously superior. I can actually hear it in my head now on the right side of head. (I have an earbud in my left ear listening to WFMU). When I turn off Green Manalishi, I can't turn on Red Barchetta. I can't remember how it goes, though I've probably heard it 2,387½ times at least.

One of my hometown ride-around-in-the-car-and-get-high friends, Mike, was a huge Bon Scott fan. Mike was convinced that Bon's spirit entered his (Mike's) body after he (Bon) died. Mike sang in my friend's band, and they played some AC/DC songs so Mike could let his Bon ghost sing. Mike actually sang more like Brian Johnson, though. Oh, and Mike actually changed his name to Bonz Roxon. True story.

Same here, coela. 8-tracks were a thing of the past by the time I hit high school (class of '87) and CD players in cars were a luxury if they existed at all. It was cassettes all the way.

i loathed "heavy metal" in high school. (except 'sabbath, which i Loved)
it was the opposite of punk.

The first Judas Priest album I ever heard was Screaming for Vengeance playing in a friend’s dad’s VW van as I was being driven home after a sleepover. 4th grade, I think. Blew my wig off.

I bet that cover of Green Manalishi by the Need is excellent!

Well, for the sake of historical accuracy, I'll admit that it was actually musky cassettes, not 8-tracks. Though one friend did have an 8-track in his car.

@ultradamno the bands in that Heavy Metal 8-track were all big with my pals, except Faces (that rumor about Rod...), T-Rex (similar), the MC5 ("WTF kind of Punk crap is that?"). My friends were OK guys, but we were small-town white kids, and it was the seventies.

You have to be able to expand your definition of heavy metal to include Eagles and Van Morrison before you can appreciate Warner's vision on that record.

The definition of "metal" was much more vague in the seventies than it became in the eighties. In the seventies, it was almost anything you might play air guitar to that wasn't punk.

my brother and his friends were sitting around the living room, listening to panama red on my father's stereo, and passed what was called a regular cigarette to 12-year-old me.
but i didn't get high 'till 2 times later, with his friends but in his absence, by the river with no music...except the voices of pretty girls.

Geez, first time I smoked I got really high. I was 15, with friends of mine, and we were riding around in a pickup with a box full of water balloons bombarding people. I didn't realize it would make my mouth so dry, so I kept trying to bite into the balloons to drink the water, but I only succeeded in completely drenching myself.
