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

[gmc2003]

If you really want to spend HOURS searching and listening to something different.... This guy turned a RV into a rolling music studio.... parks it at different venues and records groups while they are waiting to go play... I've found A LOT of things I like... The quality of the sound is top notch as well... Some of you might have found it already...

Jam in the Van | The Headiest Source for Music on the Internet

The solar powered mobile recording studio and Youtube Channel that’s changing the way the world discovers new music.

At least two (probably more) middle aged men dancing through the house singing Tiny Tim songs. Sorry, but that's just plain wrong. Now where's my ukulele? Robert

You want to be fully dressed when doing that. If you're just wearing underwear it might mean a forfeiture of man card. Geez, I'm trying to make bacon jam here! RAY

What about the Traveling Wilbury's? Don't remember seeing that mentioned - a real supergroup!!



John

Bad Company was also considered a super group. Members came from Free, Mott the Hopple and King Crimson.

Chris, you got me thinking so I googled "supergroups" and found a wiki page on them.

Here are a few more that I like but didn't realize they were a supergroup:
Humble Pie
Grand Funk Railroad
Journey
Little River Band
Mike + the Mechanics
The Firm

And here are a couple I should have known but never heard them referred to as Supergroups
Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young
Cream

really interesting......

This is one of the Groups I found while searching Jam In The Van that I have grown fond of ... Have added a bunch of their stuff to my playlist...

On a more serious note, I don't think I've seen anybody mention Steely Dan. They are from Annandale VA. I was born in Alexandria VA right over the line from Annandale. Grew up just a few miles south and worked in Fairfax, which is super close to their hometown. Back in the day I used to frequent a bar called The Library. Was a real nice place (still can't believe they let me in) and was in the basement of the Farifax County library. Steely Dan on occasion would just walk in on a Friday or Saturday night, set up, and put on a free concert. I saw them several times in there and it was always a kick a$$ time!!

Back in the day....

Sorry Ray but I gotta call BS on this one my friend. Tom Cruise got away with it in Risky Business. If he can do it then so can I!!

Geez, I'm trying to make bacon jam here!

Good luck with that. I've pretty much given up on everything except beer.

I forgot them too! I've seen them 3 times in the 2000's, and they were great every time. Truly unique.

Journey and LRB changed lead singers so I guess we can add Van Halen to that group. I didn't realize GFR was also. I haven't listened to any Humble Pie songs in many years, Thanks for jarring my memory. The firm with Rodgers and Page excellent. Mike and the Mechanics I've heard of but don't recall anything they did. Who could forget Cream!!!

Also let's not forget Peter, Paul, and Mary doing one of my favorites: Puff The Magic Dragon.

The Mamas and the Papas? Joan Baez? Have not seen her name come up. Janis Joplin? Bobbi Gentry? Gene Autrey?

Gotta go make dinner...for the second time

Sorry Robert, your DQ'd. There's is a big difference between Bob Seegers "Old time Rock-n-Roll" and Tiny Tims "Tiptoe thru the Toulips".

I saw Joplin at the Fillmore West! Gene Autrey? I love it Robert! What about the other singing cowboy, Roy Rogers! At Christmas time of course we'll be needing Bing and the Andrews Sisters.

Alright I’m in. Late 70s high school ELO, Foreigner, Little River Band, Boston , REO and Steve Miller Band. In the 80s it was all about hair metal and a little southern rock. Ozzie, Poison , Ratt , Cinderella , ZZ Top , 38 Special , Molly Hatchet to name a few. 90’ s, honestly mid 80s into late 90,s I partied way to much can’t name a lot lol. Did transition to some pop somewhere in there. 2000s back to my childhood roots, Country music. Loved Alabama, Clint Black, Joe Diffie , Garth Brooks. These days I like a mix depending on mood. I can listen to some country and country pop followed by some Ed Sheehan , One Republic and Greenday. Every now and then I’ll do a blast from the past and listen to Hair Nation or Ozzie’s Bomeyard on Sirius. At the end of the day my favs these days are pop and country sing along stuff which I’ve been known to do a lot lol.

Yes Chris, there's quite a difference. RAY

No fair!! I wasn't talking about the song. I was talking about dancing around in your underwear. Cruise set a legal precedent that would stand up in court.

Welcome to the party Jeff....I have to admit I find myself listening to country more than rock the last few years, but very seldom do I sing along....can't stand my own voice.

All good choices above I listened or had most of those groups on tape/vinyl/cd at one time or another.

First up Mungo:



Now Mouth and McNeal

Thank you my friend!

I have to admit after I posted it I got a sinking feeling that it would not work out the way I had envisioned it, but I am absolutely blown away by the response of the SMF community in keeping it going as an informative and entertaining topic that we can all relate to and have some fun with.
