Classic Rock (Phil Collins lives, run for the hills)

[OB1]

Oh it does in my mind :-)

I know but I'm sure we have established before the superiority of my taste in all things over yours so it's all good.

I can't lie, Slippery When Wet is a great album.

Even if i wear a Wrangler jacket with sewn on Rush and Scorpions patches?

Add a couple of dabs of patchouli oil and I reckon you're in.

I was too young to have heard many of the classic rock bands. I was born in the 70s so only really discovered them in the early 90s. I loved britpop and the indie stuff but in my opinion the musical hey day was the 70s.

The range, quality and musicianship of bands like Led Zeppelin, Free, Yes, Steely Dan, Eagles, Wings, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, T Rex, Queen, Black Sabbath, Joni Mitchell, Rolling Stones, Elton John, Doobie Brothers etc has never been matched since and I've left a lot of bands off my list. I probably know more about classic rock in the 70s than I do about my own era ha ha! I used to love listening to the 60s and 70s shows on the radio when I grew up.

It's astonishing to think from 70 to 79 you had psychedelic rock, glam, heavy metal, prog, funk, disco, punk, birth of electronic music and hip hop. It's truly amazing and I'd have loved to experience it.

Of course there's plenty of modern classic rock bands too like The Pixies, Nirvana, Bon Jovi, Dire Straits and Guns n Roses, Oasis even!

I'd definitely love to hear some songs that might have passed me by.

Old mans Viagra and verily I fall to my knee in homage as masters of their chosen craft ply trade for the good of all mankind: The build commences at the five minutes and so without fear of reprisal may the good lord have mercy on your souls:

Last track before the TV room calls. An excerpt from The Gates Of Delerium:

LOL, I've got the Buggles album; I even like Drama by Yes.

Drama is where I left my Yes obsession behind.
Never really forgave them for their Buggles period.
