Steppenwolf was one of the first bands I ever remember hearing. There was an old 45 of Jupiter's Child and the album "Monster" at my Grandmother's house (they belonged to my Uncle who left them when he went to college) and I made her play them for me over and over.
Aside from hearing them on the radio I haven't listened to Steppenwolf in many years, but I'll always have a nostalgic place for them.
Favorite song: The Pusher
