Rock and Roll!

[Spitfire]

Do you have a favorite rock and roll band either contemporary or vintage?

My choices are from the 60's and 70's...

Deep Purple
Ten Years After
Lynyrd Skynrd
ZZ Top

To name a few.
Not neccessarily in that order.

[Spitfire]

Boston
Alice cooper - the really old stuff
Bob Segar - the old stuff
Hole - (I know, I hate the fact.. but they had some great songs)

[Genesius Redux]

And Pink Floyd.

Do you consider Pink Floyd rock n roll? They're one of my favorite bands, especially the early stuff which is great to listen to when you're--well, we shall be mindful of the family nature of the forums. You know what I mean. :wink:

When you back is up against the wall and every mistake echos like the delicate sound of thunder, even a momentary lapse of reason can call to you like the piper at the gates of dawn. I may wish you were here to shine on the division bell but you may as well be on the dark side of the moon.

At such a time, the final cut can be summed up in one word, ummagumma.


peeyew! someone light a match! :?

[Spitfire]

Led Zeppelin
Santana

[Christina75]

Random word association

"Comfortably numb"
This phrase reminded me of Jackson Browne. I like his mellow/sleepy stuff.

The Eagles; first band I ever saw live in concert. 8)

I understand they are going to be doing a farewell tour.

[Vince A]

Jimi Hendrix (my idol)
Lynyrd Skynrd
Arrowsmith

Saw them all play live . . . and if you did, you'd love them as much as I do. These people/bands literally brought/bring any house down!!!!

[Genesius Redux]

You saw Hendrix live?????? :notworth: :notworth: :notworth: :notworth: :notworth: :notworth: :notworth: :notworth:

[Vince A]

Yes . . . in the summer of (I'm guessing here - too old to recall exactly) of 1967 in either New York or Connecticut . . . way too many concerts back in the 60's!!!!!!! 8)

[Genesius Redux]

How too cool for words. Were you at Woodstock?

[Vince A]

You mean "THAT" concert where there was over a half-million people?
August 19, 1969 . . . God, I was 23 . . .
Traffic jams over 25 miles long . . .
Took over 8-hours to get out of the traffic jam . . .
And the price of the concert, which is unheard of today was $18 and this was a three-day event . . .

I wouldn't admit it if I did attend. Wouldn't want my kids to know!
Besides . . . I didn't inhale!!!!!!!! :wink:

[Genesius Redux]

Vince--if you're ever in Nashville, I definitely want to get together. Dinner, dancing, and I've got a friend at the university who can procure some great desserts.... :wink:

BTW, Woodstock was almost held about two miles from where I grew up, but the Planning Board wouldn't approve it.

I did see Lynyrd Skynrd live; opening act for Rod Stewart and I agree. 8)

[Spitfire]

The Moody Blues. 8)

[pygmalion]

Nights in White Satin!


Oh yeah. Love that song. One of my favorite non-dance songs. I was going to post it in that other thread. LOL. Do you remember their revival during the eighties sometime? They made a full orchestral arrangement of Nights in White Satin, complete with a new music video. Yay! 8) :banana:
