That was my feeling while watching also, Kev.
It was tough being in high school back then (graduated in 1985). All my friends were either into stuff like Motorhead or the Scorps (or Michael Jackson!), and I was into Zeppelin, Floyd, Rush and Yes.

The weird thing about all this is that when we were in school we were just "rockers" and were into Motorhead, Sabbath, Rush, Purple, Rainbow, Zep, Floyd, Genesis etc etc. There were no rock subdivisions (no pun intended) at our school, which I personally think is how it should be. I
hate music being compartmentalized. I don't believe in "good music & bad music" either, only music that you like and music that you don't.
Just to add fuel to the fire: I LOVE this......

Still one of the best bands I've ever seen live. In fact I think you probably have to see them live to "get them" (although obviously some never will)....
