Hell yea,I still rock the old school.how about some Deep Purple or Thin Lizzy Steve miller band ,those were the days man.My altime fav,Ted fuggin Nugent.

[Mr Burns]

Deep Purple or Thin Lizzy

There's two that are milestones. I'll never forget the Xmas Phil Lynott died after eating more than his share of the Xmas cake his Mrs cooked up. An Irish star if ever there was.

Robin Trower is another for me, but I'm trying to get some Grupo Irekere. Bloody hard stuff to get on CD!

Thuderclap Newman/Newnham is another.

When i first read this thread i thought that it would really take off,there must not be as many old heads as i thought here yet.There are so many rockin bands from them days that are still rockin your socks today that i havent seen mentioned yet,like the stones and aerosmith just as an example.I was still just a lad in the 70's well the early 70's anyways,i was into the more contempary top 40 shit then.didnt really get into the harder stuff till later in that decade.stuff like Bob Seagar,foreignor and REO Speedwagon.My god,do ya'll remember cat stevens and simmon and garfunkell,lol.man that seems like a lifetime ago,well i guess it was ,30 or so years ago.We cant let Kiss and Led Zepplin and oh my god ACDC and Triumph go without a mention,but those was more the latter of the 70's paving the way for the hard rockin 80's.There are so many bands that just faded away from that era,some moved on to other bands some just fell off the face of the earth.Then hundreds of what i call 1 hit wonders like mason proffit, JD Blackfoot, missouri,and before mentioned Foghat what about Headeast.Headeast was a missouri band they lived not far from me back in the day,I remember seeing them at 6 flags on senior skip day,there is a tradition i havent heard in a while.I remember when they played a club in Washington Mo,as a house band,cant remember the name of the club tho and it has since closed and is no more,like many of the old school clubs of the day.Its really sad that the days of our youth are only faded memories today,it was then when life was simple and life was good.

[AzGrowa]

What about groups like Holy Modal Rounders, Badfinger,Ozark Mountain Daredevils, Firefall?
other powerhouse groups like Styx and The Who were certainly in their heyday in the 70's and 80's

John, Paul, George and Ringo certainly had their solo careers in high gear as well.
And who can forget Boston?
ELO?
what about Southern rockers, Lynard Skynard, Charlie Daniels and Molly Hatchet?
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers certainly made a name for themselves in the 70's
And yeah CB who can forget Ted Nugent.....?
I love it when he gets out the compound bow... somebody's goin' down...

[Mr Burns]

REO Speedwagon. Now theres a blast from the past. That's about when I started smoking pot and kinda got off on it too. In fact it's only when Frank Zappa came through a memorable speaker that my music taste took on warp drive and a huge swing towards alternative music. My teens I was a punk so I was there during the the Stranglers until Gary Newman came along with 'Cars'. It's about that point I met Zappa who has given me a great ear for diverse music. So REO Speedwagon. Class act and full of memories.

Wasn't Frampton from the late 70s? I found a lot of foreign students in London got off on him during the late 80s early 90s. Kinda made me laugh cause I couldn't understand every word and heres these Spanish, arab and South American students with college English listening to Frampton. :rolleyes:

I remember watching the Eurovision song contest as a family. To be honest it's been crap since day one but I always took to songs from countries like Latvia, Poland or Isreal. I'm starting to think I'm a reborn hippie.

If I wanted to pick one song from the 70s 80s it would be Men At Work performing 'overkill'. Bloody top song and 1 of of only three tracks I like from them. Down under isn't 1 either!

[midwestbluntman]

I didnt get into the warped shit till later in my teens.Zappa,and cooper was a bit extreme for me back in the day.After i got a bit older,then i could appreciate the more crazy stuff.Things were alot diffrent back then,Hit television shows back then was happy days, and leave it to beaver, bowling for dollars.songs about death and hoes and shit like that wasnt heard of.When Kiss first made the scene in 73 or 74,my god the controversy that followed there shows was unreal,all the churches was in a uproar.society had just come to terms with the drug songs Jim morrison "the Doors" and hendrix along with others was pumping out,it was just very diffrent then.

[CB]

oh dont dont forget about the B-52's :D

I have hundreds of song's from the 70's and 80's in a wide range of styles on cd

since the seattle grung wave hit i have kinda changed my ways tho :D

jerry garcia is my all time fav and I have seen him many times in my younger days......

he allways showed up at the oregon country fair with the jerry garcia band.... never as the dead tho...not sure why but they played the same tunes just diff band like

i remember a time or 2 share'n a joint with him as well as hunter thompson there.....

alot of free spirited hippies show up at the OCF and its all ways a good time.....to bad jerry wont ever be there again

[CB]

for me though their is a bandthat covers all decades from the 60's - mid 90's Grateful fuggin Dead:peace:

amen to jerry;)

did ya ever get to see him at the OCF ?

[AzGrowa]

Didn't really get into the Dead that much. While I did develop a taste for their music later in life I was more mainstream oriented. Styx, Reo Speedwagon, Led Zepplin were constatly on my personal playlist.
When KISS came out, I was so anti-KISS it wasn't funny, mostly because of the costuming and the "Heavy Metal". Go Figure... I could listen to Black Sabbath and Blue Oyster Cult, but KISS turned me off?
I was introduced to Frank Zappa at a fairly early age, albums like Burnt Wienie Sandwich and Weasels Ripped My Flesh made the collection early on. Once Apostrophe was released, everybody I hung out with thought I was genius for mentioning his music.
Jerry Jeff Walker and Jerry Riopell, certainly got some playtime when I wanted to take a break from the mainstream.
Probably one of the most ignored musicians during that time had to be Mike Oldfield. While "Tubular Bells" was his single commercial success, he produced other albums in the similar one-man-band style. "Ommadawn" immediately comes to mind. Worth a listen.
And just going back to the mainstream the James Gang certainly put out some rockers, and in between them and the Eagles, Joe Walsh was one of my favorites.
I think it would just igorance if we are talking about the 70's music scene if the Allman Brothers weren't mentioned. Hand's down the best blues band that ever came out of the South. Duane Allman is simply the best slide guitartist, bar none. Just love to sit and listen to their tunes.
You realize of course that you guys have got me to not only dig through my album collection, but get it alphabetized as well.
Now I can go purchase that wave editor and get my vinyl on to a hard drive and eventually to CD.
Thanks all!

what about Southern rockers, Lynard Skynard, Charlie Daniels and Molly Hatchet?
