“Forty-thousand men and women every day”...
That’s a mouthful to sing.
It’s always fun to people-watch at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It’s become an embarrassment, pandering to groups with followings and insider faves without any regard to excellence. But what are ALL generations spending their time on? Elvis, the Stones, the Beatles, have the most crowds. It seems nobody really cares about the stuff from disco on.
Boy, you’ve got that right! Socialism was raising it’s ugly little head in those days but not so many people took it seriously back then. I hope we’re able to stamp it back down into the dirt where it belongs!
And there were WORDS you could understand...generally in sentences
All the songs are good, but my favorite is probably “Golden Autumn Day.” I don’t know his politics, but he certainly comes across as a conservative in that song. Maybe that’s why I like it so much.
Thanks, I had just pulled out my Sugarloaf cd yesterday to listen to on the way to work.
Selling England By The Pound is Genesis best album IMO.
Don’t care for any kind of “soul music” though...but that’s okay, to each his own...:>)

You should tell them to check out Rival Sons. Their sound is right out of that era:
I’ve seen them twice and going to another show in May.
50s music doesn't find a lot of fans these days, particularly among Millennials.
"Classic Rock" as a genre pretty much starts with the Beatles and ends with Pearl Jam.
I’d say even the 40’s, as a lot of people seem to like Glenn Miller.
Amen to that. 99.99% of it is (c)rap. And I'm probably being too generous.
I do like Taylor Swift. Wife can't stand her. Thinks she can't sing, lol.
There is some music that is absolutely beyond it out there. I don’t know even what genre to put it in. They play the garbage at the gym all the time, and in other public places. It all sounds the same. It’s truly an assault on me. I feel violated. That reminds me, I need to call the gym to complain. I suggest that others who feel the same do similar. Start telling these people you are not going to patronize their stores if they continue to play this crap. I sometimes go to the gym in the morning and that’s when people who are 60, 70, 80 years old are there and the gym is playing this music that would only appeal to the brain dead and urban youth!? Bunch of self-centered assholes who are in charge. They think the world started with them and revolves around them.
Western music died with the hypercommercialization-of-garbage era brought about by the talent-deprived group known as Nirvana managing to break all sales records to date. It proved beyond any reasonable doubt that making good music is not at all essential to selling a great many records.
And the point was quite profitable thereafter, as if talent doesn’t matter, you don’t have to pay for it, and any grunting savage with a microphone will do, the suckers will still buy it.
My daughter is 29 and she will only listen to classic rock. My son who is 34 listens more to prog rock. Brought em up right.
HEY, I saw ZZ Top in concert when they had GOATTEES
You’d love a good portion of my eclectic music collection.
My 14 year old listens to Dean Martin, Sinatra, Elvis, Willy Nelson, Waylon Jennings, George Jones, Jim Reeves, and a whole bunch of other stuff that I’m forgetting. She has an excellent playlist. Our oldest daughters have good and terrible taste in music. Our oldest son likes country music. Our second son likes country, but I bet he would enjoy the 14 year old sister’s music. Our youngest sons like a variety as well. They like to sing.
Yes she does! I've heard several songs she did that I liked. I don't know how many I would actually like since I don't listen to the stations that play her very often, but I can't knock her; girl's got talent!
