1976 or so for me, although I was only a 6 year old boy. My oldest sister had the 'White Album' 8-Track which she used to blast while she would take us for Saturday or Sunday trips to the beach. I still remember the white vinyl interior of her '75 Firebird and us yelling and singing along with the lyrics to 'Monday Morning'! Of course, we also then got 'Rumours' and listened to that constantly too although by that point it was my brother who then developed the FM taste while my sister started gravitating towards disco. But I knew what I liked, and always looked forward to catching FM on tv or on the radio (still remember hearing a 'Tusk' special presentation in 1979 on the radio one night while driving with my family and most of them acting disappointed in their initial first listen). I also was in particular a Stevie fan while in high school, and the apex of this was the 'Rock A Little' period which to this day (to me) stands out as one of Stevie's best.
