I’m too old to only have a top 10. Mine is more like a top 100, with no order to it because my moods change. Yours is a nice list. Love seeing Quicksiver and Vanilla Fudge mentioned. Your parents must be awesome. You’re 26? There is hope with your generation after all! Seriously, my daughter is also 26. She likes my music and I like (most of) hers.
