If you grew up on LI in the 70's the big question was:
Who was better, Zebra, Twisted Sister or the Good Rats?

There all great but you forgot Southern Cross which made a great time to live on long island

hmmmmm

I was more of a Zebra fan, but liked the Good Rats. TS? Saw them live, enjoyed the show, but did not run out and buy their records (ah LPs!)

I don't recall Southern Cross -- were they a cover band?

What about Otter Creek???? I grew up within walking distance of Rum Bottoms (Now part of Island Rec pools) and I remember seeing them there.

I used to work at the Grill Store on the other side of the Island Rec shopping center. We hung out at Rum Bottoms and ate pizza at Pizza Cove. I was quite a healthy walk from there -- lived south of the SS between 107 & Broadway.
