The good old days
« on: February 29, 2008, 07:25:18 pm »
We have had best looking flattracker, best looking MXers and a few other topics from the good old days, but what about the music??
It would be interesting to hear the favourite bands/singers of the members, whether it be from years gone by or up to date sounds.
Ya dont have to list them in any order but maybe keep it to your top ten  ;D , if you have to include the sound of your own bike so be it.  ;)

Pink Floyd
Kiss
AC/DC
Guns 'n Roses
Metallica
Cold Chisel
Fleetwood Mac
Melissa Etheridge
Hunters 'n Collectors
Eagles

Shit, only ten, thats not enough.  ;)  ;D

Back in the day I switched from loud to mellow depending on the mood...

The loud ones:

Jimi Hendrix
Black Sabbath
Led Zeppelin
Slade
Deep Purple

The moody and the mellow:

Pink Floyd
Bob Dylan
Neil Young
Cat Stevens
James Taylor

and somewhere in between (not really fitting either label) were 'The Doors'.

Hmmm... I think most of my favourite stuff is already covered. But I also liked and listened to

Uriah Heep
The Angels
Foreigner
REO Speedwagon

Just had a look through the old vinyls and found some strange stuff in there like

Dexies Midnight Runners
The Flying Lizards
Starcastle
Hawkwind

But if I go back to when I was say 15-ish which is about 1974-75, I was listening to a lot of Suzi Quatro, Kiss, Heep, Purple, Sabbath and stuff like that.

Finally, for no reason I can pick, the one song that sticks with me from around the mid-late 70s is Return to Fantasy by Uriah Heep.

And I still think Queen was great...

yup I too have a bit of everything and shite loads of old albums and 45's from the 70's and 80's. Deep Purple, Led Zeplin and Status Quo to Jim Croce, Rodriguz and Cat Stevens (Islam Yousev or whatever he prefers these days). Oh and Blue Oyster Cult as well! For me at about 16/17yo it was mainly The Angels, Radio Birdman, Sunnyboys, Radiators etc..mainly pub bands though I was not really a drinker much to my utter dismay. These days I still like my alternative upbeat punkish type stuff but eh..I can easily go for someone modern like Fergie too ;D

I have over 80 Gigabytes of songs in my "My music" folder ranging from AC/DC to ZZ top. I downloaded (using bit torrent) almost my entire catalog of CD's and audio casettes and with my XBOX360, networked to my computor, I can turn it into a juke box through my TV's surround sound system  ;D ;D ;D ;D
