Something to Take Our Minds off of Our Current Situation.....

Wolfmother is the only one I can think of

 

[SmokinVOLfan]

True. I’m a big petty fan. Sad its all considered classic rock nowadays. Most of what I saw mentioned was considered classic figured I would toss out a little diversity see if anyone liked anything “newer” per se.

 

[Smokin' in AZ]

Red hot chili peppers
Pearl jam
Live
Soundgarden
Metallica
Stone temple pilots

I have the peppers, heard of pearl jam and metallica but don't own any. the other two I have never heard of.

About a year or so ago, I saw what is probably the best cover of a song that I've ever seen.
The heavy metal band Disturbed did a cover of Simon and Garfunkel's Sound of Silence.
(it is NOT a heavy metal version of the song)
It is absolutely incredible and I highly recommend checking it out if you have never heard/seen it:

 

[JckDanls 07]

Actually Dawg... that was pretty good ...

 

[Smokin' in AZ]

Agree, it is a really awesome rendition....Simon and Garfunkel, another group that I remember well.

Thanks Dawg!

 

[MJB05615]

That was very good. I'm a huge S + G fan. Seen 2 of their reuninons in the 2000's. This was an excellent rendition of one of their best songs. Thanks for sharing.

Odd...unless I've overlooked a couple I don't know that I have seen Rush or Springsteen mentioned. I don't see any way they have NOT been mentioned so it's probably just a mental lapse on my part.

Another one this thread has brought back fond memories of that I've not thought about in years is April Wine. God I loved that group!! Roll a couple of numbers, fill a cooler with ice and beer, head off to the park with that blasting on the mega-stereo I had in my '69 VW Bug. Oh the life of a careless teenager...but it sure was fun

At this snapshot in time, I really miss being irresponsible and reckless,

Absolutely agree about Rush & Springsteen. And April Wine, Aldo Nova, Nantucket & Billy Squier all had great albums that came out around the same time. Haven't thought of them in a long time.

 

[JckDanls 07]

There are SOOOOOOO many more that haven't been named yet.... Jerry Jeff Walker... John Anderson ... The Band ... just to name a couple more...

So here's a tribute to Waylon... heavy metal style ... (opposite of your's Dawg)...

 

[foamheart]

Also Frank Fontaine---AKA---Crazy Guggenheim.
Jackie Gleason Show. Black & White TV Days.

Gotta admit, Even Potsi Webber had a better voice than most of these New "Singers" today. LOL

Bear

 

[MJB05615]

Don't sell Potsie Webber short. I think he had a few hits that charted. LOL.

Correct. Anson Williams.

Just got back from taking a beautiful wife and a spoiled fat dog to the park for a waddle and a swim. Thought of a few more that I don't know that I've seen listed yet.

-Supretramp
-Warren Zevon
-Steve Winwood
-Yusef "Cat" Stevens
-Kansas
-Nazareth
-Robert Palmer

I think those are it...for now.

I got a bad case of lovin' you!!

[fivetricks]

A lot of great mentions in here! Growing up in east TN southern rock is a staple so those bands are always some of my favorite.

Can anyone name a group from say mid 90’s up through current they like?

A few of my faves...

Red hot chili peppers
Pearl jam
Live
Soundgarden
Metallica
Stone temple pilots

Thank you. I was about to give up hope realizing that I apparently must be 30 or 40 years too young to belong to this forum...
