Once she gets here I can tell tales out of school about my Styx relation-by-marriage (both his and mine).

Edgy DC Jul 18 2005 07:18 AM

Well, you fans can recruit her, or she can follow the link at the top of the forum.

Bands from MY youth. The good ones I'm proud of, the others not so much. GOOD SUX GOOD EH SUX

ELO's music holds up - I love that album.

sharpie Jul 18 2005 02:06 PM

5 bands I liked in my youth would include King Crimson, Emerson Lake & Palmer, Yes, Jethro Tull and Pink Floyd. Long live ponderous English mock-classical music!

Johnny Dickshot Jul 18 2005 03:26 PM

I'll cop to the flying-horse era Steve Miller Band.

I'm still mighty proud of my hair metal roots (no pun intended, especially coming from a bald guy): Poison, Def Leppard, Warrant, Slaughter, Firehouse... all high on my Top 25 list.

I'm really sick and tired of waking up with Hall and Oates songs running through my head. Why does that happen? Seawolf, I have mentioned it before, but the lead singer from Firehouse is from my hometown and I knew him from about second grade on. We went to Sunday school together, High School, were confirmed and graduated together. He looked like Woody Allen back then, no kidding. My husband claims he played the organ at our wedding rehearsal, but I really don't remember that, probably because I hated my husband's best man so much, I was seething.

Edgy DC Aug 04 2005 04:52 AM

I knew there was subtext to those wedding shots.

cooby Aug 04 2005 04:58 AM

Yes now you know why I look so mad; that beast was in my wedding...

This thread got me thinking. When I first started to listen to popular music on the radio / collecting records and albumns, bands were different from the singers. You had the Big Bands , with famous lead singers (SInatra, Ella) and Singing Groups (Platters). The earliest singing group I can recall playing its own music was Bill Haley and the Comets. For a while in the late 50's I dabbled into Folk and Pseudo-Folk (Kingston Trio, Chad Mitchell Trio, etc). During that time my favorite group was The Limelighters. Then there came the Beatles, Stones (and the rest of the English Invasion). Cream comes to mind, too, but I wasn't a big fan. And Linda Rhonstadt fronting for the Stone Ponys. Then the psychodelic stuff, from Mamas and th Papas to Jefferson Airplane to Spanky and Our Gang. Overall, I'd have to say that I liked music I could dance to. ("Dick, I give that a 97. Its got a good beat") Of course, through this, there was one dominant purely instrumental group - the Ventures (Guitar Boogie Shuffle, Hawaii Five-O theme) At one time, they had sold more albumns than any group except the Beatles) Went disco a while, with Earth Wind and Fire and KC and the Sunshine Band For me after that came Chicago and (dare I mention them?) The Eagles (OK, so you couldn't dance to them). Kind of ecclectic. I'm not sure where I'm going with this, maybe its a Senior moment. But I think I started out thinking that I really can't name my "top 5" because there have been so many of them, depending on point in time. Later

Vic Sage Aug 04 2005 08:33 AM

the ponit isn't to list your all-time top 5. the point was to list your top 5 as a YOUTH....

seawolf17 Aug 04 2005 08:41 AM

Okay, Top 5, circa 1988-1991 (12-15 years old, when I really discovered music): Tesla Warrant Aerosmith Billy Joel Poison (specifically the Flesh & Blood album)

I considered myself to be "young" from the mid 50's through the mid 70's. And I don't consider myself to be an old fart today. Its all in the mind, you young whippersnapper. :) Later

]The earliest singing group I can recall playing its own music was Bill Haley and the Comets. The Nat King Cole trio? MF, we're about the same age. But young is young, and that means the groups of our youth were the Fifties -- and yeah, we didn't think in terms of "bands" back then, except probably for Bill Haley and the Comets, who actually were one of my favorites. I remember the incredible thrill of going to see "Blackboard Jungle," and hearing on the soundtrack, before anything else, "One two three o'clock four o'clock rock....

For me (for the reasons stated above) it would mostly have to be individuals. Elvis Chuck Berry Fats Domino Little Richard The Coasters

KC Aug 05 2005 09:06 AM

I went through a lot of fazes, but the earliest rock years were ... Aerosmith (only their drug years) Stones (Some Girls and prior) Zeppelin Sabbath Deep Purple / Rainbow (big Blackmore / Dio head) Rush

Edgy DC Aug 05 2005 09:21 AM

I'm not sure what came when. Beatles. Joe Jackson. Marshall Crenshaw. Elvis Costello. Police. Dave Edmuds was the first show I ever saw so I was fiercely loyal to him. Like all the above, I was stupid retro, so the Ventures, Buddy Holly, and the Monkees were always there. Three older siblings. One gave me Jonathan Richman. (Thanks.) One inadvertantly turned me unfairly, but visciously, away from Joni Mitchell. (Joni will live.) The last gave me arena rock like Bob Seger and Steve Miller in the seventies, but was early on Husker Du in the eighties. U2 (at 14), and the Violent Femmes, and The The (at 17) all owned me about two notes into thier careers. I really should have killed myself, but U2 trumped the other two. Sting is now nothing short of a public nuisance.
