Today we take a look back. What was your earliest musical memory? For me it's these two albums.
There was a kid who lived down the street named Mike Islandfeld. He didn't live on the street for very long, but long enough to expose me to KISS. He would dress up like one of the members every day. He was a fanatic, and get this, he was only in kindergarten! He got me into them at an early age. This record played over and over. 
Elvis was all over the radio when I was growing up. I was just a wee lad when he died in 1977. After his death I dug into my dad's Elvis records to try to figure out the deal about this guy. I haven't listened to this album in a billion years.....and I probably won't be today, either.

Along with his love for rock music and attending concerts, he's also an avid Harley-Davidson enthusiast and hockey player. He plays year-round and manages to squeeze in a few charity games throughout the year. Meltdown writes about the Detroit Red Wings, rock music, and Detroit concert venues.
