I have to chuckle hedgeberry, as I was growing up in the 80's many of my friends were into Led Zep, and Floyd. They thought my music taste was weird even back then. I now live in a rural area far from decent radio (except CFRC Queens university) and most

I never really thought about it, but the term "synthesizer" (US)/ "synthesiser" (rest o' the world) is probably an outdated term for electronic keyboards! I guess you could say that synthesizers were electronic instruments (usually keyboards) from the 70'
