So was Twisted Sister (which I got into because of a girlfriend). The Monkees, I guess, were a small bang (that, as I said, came long before the big bang). That's not to say that everything I like can be traced back to Ducks Deluxe. In a manner of speaking, Ducks Deluxe was my big bang of music fandom. And then other non-pub bands that I got into as a result of them. Suffice to say it kind of exploded out from there in many directions. Then Rockpile, the Motors, Graham Parker & the Rumour, Dr. From the Ducks I moved on to Dave Edmunds. I got really into that record, and from there there was an explosion. I came upon an album of theirs (technically, a compilation album) called Don't Mind Rockin' Tonite. My musical interest wasn't moving on from there. But I realize that The Monkees got me into the Monkees. I was into the Monkees years before Ducks Deluxe. A friend posted a link on Facebook, asking what was the band that first got me into Rock and Roll.
