In 1975, Three Dog Night released their greatest hits album, and my brothers wore the LP out on the turntable. My brothers were 10 and 12 years older than me, and so were teenagers exposing their little brother to the evils of rock n roll.
I know this song is considered a cheesy '70s throw-back that you can still hear on the radio today, but at the time, hearing the song over and over again in the basement, it took on an eerie hypnotic quality. That single note over and over and over again. This is one of my many guilty pleasures that make up the soundtrack of my life.
This also set the stage for the basement to be an experimentation base from which would launch the music that continues to influence me most still today...more to come.
