Mike Portnoy – My Favorite Albums When I Was a Teenager


Legendary drummer Mike Portnoy recently joined us to talk about his favorite albums from when he was a teenager.

It was April 20, 1980 when Mike Portnoy finally turned 13. Banging on a small drum kit during his bar mitzvah, the young musician already knew what he wanted to be when he grew up. But although Portnoy would become a legend in the world of metal, he was a punk rocker whose favorite album at the time was the Ramones’ original soundtrack for Rock ’N’ Roll High School.

“I would sneak in a tape recorder and tape the movie soundtrack,” Portnoy remembers. “So I used to listen not only to this album, but the actual cassette tape of the movie. Ramones would have to be the biggest thing I was listening to around 1980 when I was turning 13.”

It was the very next year when the “game changing” moment happened for Mike Portnoy — when he finally discovered Rush. It was actually the album Moving Pictures that convinced Portnoy of Rush’s greatness after not necessarily getting them for a while.

“I lived, breathed, slept and shat Neil [Peart] and Rush,” Portnoy remembers. “The main reason I never gave Rush the time of day was I would hear Geddy’s voice on the radio and I just wrote them off as some kind of band like Supertramp or Styx — these high vocals — but I never realized the musicianship and the drumming. Then somebody played me ‘YYZ’ without the… I don’t want to use the word distraction… but it didn’t have Geddy’s vocals. It forced me to listen to the drums, bass and guitar, and when I heard ‘YYZ’ I was like, ‘Holy shit, these guys can play.’”

Check out what else Mike Portnoy was listening to from 1980-1987 in the video and gallery below. Make sure to grab the new Winery Dogs album, III, which comes out on Feb. 3.
