Hi, I call myself Ignatz after Dan Herriman's character in the old "Krazy Kat" comic strip. I'm 44, father of 3, husband to one, crazy about music and books and food and movies and history and martial arts. I've had some wild and crazy times in my life, and I figure I might as well put in some of my perspective.
I promise not to talk down to anyone or make fun,and I promise not to BS anyone. If you're old enough to ask a frank question, you're old enough to get a frank answer. Oh, and if you ask me a question directly, please be patient. I'll get back to you as soon as I can. My life's a bit hectic. :-)

Hmmm... with Styx you've covered the best American rock & roll band right there. BOC is a good close second. Look into KISS for more '70s Detroit rock as well, and Jethro Tull and Genesis for arty weirdness.
When you start getting into the '80s pop scene, there's a lot of ways to go. Check out Thomas Dolby and Howard Jones for excellent synthpop, Peter Gabriel for brilliant songwriting with African hooks, Talking Heads and Oingo Boingo for goofy weirdness, Kate Bush for the ethereal groove, Squeeze for blue-eyed soul. And for sheer whacked-out redneck anarchy goofball music, the inimitable Skid Roper & Mojo Nixon.
