Early Influences : Dad

I'm starting something new. Mixtape posts about those who have influenced me and the music I have come to enjoy - and what better place to start than the beginning? on Fathers day, my Dad.
A big influence on my early development of music appreciation and humor. He's always been a great, supportive influence on my life. I can remember raiding his tape collection and listening to all sorts of great music on his giant boombox. I have put together a collection of songs I remember listening to on that boombox. Some of the stuff he had that I got into. My early influences.

David Lee Roth - just a gigolo
J Geils Band - freeze frame
the Beatles - think for yourself
the Police - roxanne
Led Zeppelin - d'yer maker
ZZ Top - la grange
Van Halen - you really got me
the Fabulous Thunderbirds - wrap it up
Led Zeppelin - trampled under foot
the Beatles - yesterday
Cutting Crew - I just died in your arms tonight (this one is only on here because he used to make up his own lyrics to popular music, and this one was "I just puked in your arms tonight. It must have been something I ate" - there's a big part of my comedy influence)
Led Zeppelin - moby dick
the Who - baba o'riley

Dad, Happy Fathers Day! I hope to see you more often in the rest of '09.
