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

[Steve H]

Definitely Steve H I really like that song, also paradise by the late John Prine. Alot of country old and new, some classic rock.Maybe easier to say I don't like classical or rap. My wife likes it best if I don't sing anything!

Ryan

Oh my! I forgot that song. I used to hum that all the time. Funny how time marches on.

 

[Smokin' in AZ]

Oh yes!! Let's not forget Steve Miller "Keep on rockin' me". Used to listen to all that years ago when we spent our lives playing pool.

Robert

Oh yea I have the greatest hits for Steve Miller Band.

And being ex navy I played pool all the time ...actually have 2 sticks. One for breaking and another for the rest of the game. Sad I know.

so far all great artist, I think we're showing our ages. I might have to change my favorites as I see some being posted.

I agree, but just like our tastes for food our tastes for music change as we age. I don't mind showing my age as I know there are a lot of folks here on the site that are in the general age group and thought this would be a great way to think about something else.

My wife already asked me what do I think are her favorite songs and groups are now....and I was pretty close.

Interesting interaction as she grew up in northern california and Me in southwest Ohio.

But in general Jim I am with you in that i has made me remember a lot of music that I had forgotten about.

This is a hoot!
I grew up in the 60s (Beatles, Stones, Motor City, Etc.) then the 70s which you all know had too many great groups. I have a couple of Quicksilver Messenger Service on my phone.
Yes I remember when Ozzie Osborne was just the lead singer for Black Sabbath and I listened to REO at a free concert in a field outside of Ball State. Was a big fan of Moody Blues.
I kind of hate to admit it but now I listen mostly to Classical. I'm partial to Beethoven, Bach and Hayden. Sorry.
On Sirius I like the North Americana station. Something different.
I guess I just switch around...
:-)

Hey nothing wrong with changing, as it happens with our taste buds as we get older....Just like Black Sabbath was king when I was in my early teens and not so much now.

Like I loved hot and spicy in my 20's to 40's but not in my 50's but am embracing it in my 60's.....

Oh the number of doobies that went along with Neil Young. I preferred his music when he was with Crazyhorse much more than with Crosby, Stills, and Nash.

Speaking of doobies....I don't know that anybody has mentioned the Doobie Brothers.

Oh black water keep on rollin'...

I'm kind of the reverse of most. Grew up late 60's into the 70's. My all time favorite is Frank Sinatra. I was not very popular with my friends in our teens as they were all into Zeppellin and Pink Floyd.

Been into Sinatra since my early teens. Don't know why, it just clicked with me and has ever since. Now also at the same time, mid 1970's I got into The Who. My favorite group still. Just saw them 2 times last year. As I aged I got into Bob Dylan in my early 30's. Also like The Beatles, Beach Boys, Dion, Neil Sedaka, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, Neil Young, Styx, Brian Wilson, Glen Campbell, Paul McCatney, The Guess Who, Foreigner. Very diversified. Have seen all live at least once, except The Beatles and Glen Campbell.

I have such an eclectic taste in music. The voice comes first, then the lyrics, and finally my mood.

Voices that can move me to tears or stimulate creative thoughts with the right lyrics are Crystal Gayle, KD Lang, Pavarotti, Otis Redding, Leonard Cohen, Megan Washington, Christina Aguilera, Rebekah Del Rio, and Lady Gaga.

My mental chewing gum is the Eagles, Credence, Depeche Mode, the Doors, Goldfrapp, and Katie Perry.

I've seen Jimmy Buffet three times in concert, twice before he became big and there were only 150-300 people in the theater and club. First time it was just him and a guy on a guitar he called his Coral Reefer Band. And a GREAT memory of how he imbibed the evil weed with the audience while holding the guitar in front of his face while saying "no, no, please, (voice pinches), no."
