Favorite old band/singer(s)
 

Again, the rules are, there are no rules. You can post your favorite old singer, band, trio, quartet, orchestra etc.

I'm partial to Billy Joel (singer) The Who (band) Genesis (quartet/trio) and actually listened to ELO (Electric Light Orchestra) for awhile so I fall under all of the above. Your turn.;)

Man, I have a lot, but here's who comes to mind: Yes, America, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Neil Young, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin....the list goes on.

Something I really never sat down and listened to until last night.... Led Zeppelin. I was cranking "Stairway to Heaven" :D

Awesome song.

Nothing comes close to Stairway. Single - Clapton, Band - Floyd, Trio - The BeeGees... jk.

;)

The Beatles are cool..used to be cool.;)

Still cool.:)

Beatles, CSN, Credence Clearwater R, Clapton, Doobies, Jackson Brown, James Taylor, Pablo Cruz, America, Joe Cocker, John Lee Hooker, Lynard Skynard, Peter Frampton, Steve Winwood...SANTATNA!....(what an eclectic mess of fun!)

And then there was Yoko...

Oh-no

Another Yes fan? Cooool!
 

Killer! I love Yes. Even newer Yes! I was lucky enough to see them this summer, twice. Saw them at Clearlake, California....awesome venue, right beside a lake. They played for nearly 3 hours and Wakeman was back with the crew.

Word is, they've already scheduled some late 2002 tour dates. I'm there if they come back around here.

I'm with you on these choices!

I saw Jackson Brown a few weeks ago. He opened for Tom Petty and outperformed him IMHO. I was so stoked because he did a song off of "I'm Alive" called "Everywhere I Go"

Santana! You know where I'll be when you're in Vegas.
;)
I've seen Santana more times than any other artist, and still counting. It's just great fun. Carlos was my first concert, at the age of 10. He played with Tower of Power in Vegas, at the Aladdin. I still have the concert stub.


Anybody into Moody Blues or Rare Earth?


How about a really obscure Dave Loggins?

Would love to see Jackson Brown! Been awhile since I listened to Moody Blues. Not heard of Rare Earth by artist name.
Loggins, like in Messina ohhh * memories * sweet, sweet music..

Momma don't dance and your Daddy don't rock and roll!

i love santana. my fav is europa

Yeah, Europa is a wonderful tune, the first Santana tune I ever heard because my mom loved it so.

Try "Spirits Dancing in the Flesh" CD by Santana. There are a couple of "Europa like," slow, bluesy, love songs on that one.

Rare Earth has some great soul/rock tunes. Recognize these?
"I Just Want to Celebrate (another day of life)"
"Born to Wander"
"Hey Big Brother"
"Get Ready"

They're from the 70s. Great, fun music. Really makes you move. Killer lyrics, too.


Now, as far as Dave Loggins goes, he's the guy that had the big 70's hit, "Please Come to Boston"
That particular country/gospel song came out on an obscure tape called "A Musical Aprentice Workshop"
Very obscure, but very, very excellent, sing-a-long music.

I do like that song. Didn't know he sang it. He must be the #1 fan of the man from Tennessee.

One of the all time GREATEST songs!!!

My favorite song in 3rd grade, that ought to tell just how old I am!!! lol !! wore that 45 down to nothing!! there I go again, giving away just how old I am :P

Altair, - great selections! I had to go find S's Blues for Salvator. Speaking of the....the...oh, yea... the '70s - I heard that Graham Nash is going to be in Tahoe Oct. 5-6.
More favs...CSN: Wasted on the Way, Southern Cross and more.

He's coming to Atlantic City in early October too. I love Our House.
'Cause I've got 2 cats in the yard"!:D

My fave old bands....

Scorpions
Pink Floyd
U2
Depeche Mode
Manowar
INXS

singer-Joe Cocker

Welcome back Siana!!! We were wondering when you would show up! Nice to see you on the new forum.

thank you Teri!I missed you guys,all of you :( But I'm here again;)

Cocker's got a killer, raspy voice, kinda' like Stapps. ;)


I saw INXS recently, without Hutchence, of course. While it wasn't quite the same, I do hope the band continues. They are great musicisians and a fun show to see live.

hehehee,i'm going nuts when i hear "You can leave your hat on" :P

Joe Cocker's remake of The Boxtops "The Letter" is even better than the original was. I love that version.

I LOVE that song! Might have asked you this before, (senior moment), but did you see The Full Monty? If you did, you'll know why I asked.

i'll try to chekc it out sometime

another band i like is Rush, i've been meaning to get thier new CD.

I can't stand Geddy Lee.

Vapor Trails rocks! I got it about a month ago, prepping to see Rush in concert which, btw, was one of the best shows I've seen in a long time. Saw them last week. Peart is possibly the greatest drummer ever! He was fully surrounded by a cluster of drums that spun around to face him. His 15 minute solo was absolutely mindblowing! Anyways, Vapor Trails is excellent. It's on the heavy side which, IMHO, is goood!

his voice aint the best, but hos bass riffs are wicked. les claypool idolized geddy lee

Jimi Hendrix
Janis Joplin
Billie Holliday
Glen Miller Orchestra
Lynrd Skynrd
Loretta Lynn
Hank Williams SR. and Jr.

i'll make sure to chekc that out.

Joe Cocker! Yeahhhh - just made my last post on the old board and playing..."With A LIttle Help From My Friends"...
And, did I forget Credence Clearwater R? ...Suise Q, Proud Mary, Up Around, .... :)

I'm not into Joe Cocker, but love CCR!!!

no,i haven't....but i know ppl strip on that song lol :P

That is one hysterical flick. And they really do leave their hats on. The problem with it, though, was that I kept having to rewind and play and rewind and play to find out what the hell they were saying.

Yeah, I saw it in the theater where the sound was a little better, but I did have to get used to the accents. The guy who played Dave was a hoot. Mark Addy, I think his name is. I still laugh when I watch it on video.
