Crazy Cat Gentleman Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 (edited) I guess I can take a stab at the top-ten list, though there's no way I can keep it to ten. these aren't even my favorite however-many songs, just my favorite song or two or three by I guess nine artists/bands. so, in no order at all other than the first song: Led Zeppelin: "Over the Hills and Far Away", "When the Levee Breaks" Nomeansno: sigh waaaay too many to list, but I'll go with "Happy Bridge" + "Kill Everyone Now" (essentially one song) and the Live & Cuddly version of "Two Lips, Two Lungs, and One Tongue" + "Rags and Bones" Beats Antique: "Runaway", "Extra Extra", "Oriental Uno" Rush: "La Villa Strangiato", "The Necromancer" Rezzonator: "Perception", "Inversion" René van der Wouden: "Numerus Fixus Part 1" (YouTube version) Big Sugar: "Let It Ride" (cover of the BTO song) Hocus Pocus: "Focus" Morphine: "Test-Tube Baby/Shoot'm Down", "Radar" there are even bands that I like more than some of these overall but whose songs I can't quite put on the list, like They Might Be Giants and Yes.

Motor City Sonics Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 (edited) This song has been stuck in my head all day and I have not heard it in years and I HATE this song, but it's was in my brain for some reason today. What causes this? What triggered this? Why would a song from 37 years ago, that I probably haven't heard in 35 years suddenly pop into my brain?

ewsieg Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 I took my daughter to see AJR last night. I know their songs and like them, but couldn't name them for the most part. It's the go-to music in our house when we're all cleaning and the kids are fighting about what to listen to. I walked away quite a fan. Very impressive show.

I've floated taking my daughter and/or son to see them, but neither of them took me up on it even though they like those songs too. Glad to hear they put on a good show. Maybe I'll push a little harder next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antrat Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 You all are way too hip for me. I've been listening to Evermore and Folklore by Taylor Swift. Two masterpieces IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biff Mayhem Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Not currently listening to them but I went to see some Geezer rock last night. Loverboy opened. They were good. Lots of fun traveling down memory lane. The music was tight and Mike Reno danced around some notes but he hit the big one in Turn Me Loose. I suspect there was some electronic assistance but don't care because it's such a great part. Styx took the stage second and smoked. I didn't expect much but they brought it. Very energetic and the harmonies were spot on. It was a great arena show and I'd see them again. REO Speedwagon closed out and they were good but not great. The music was well played but it lacked energy. Granted I understand that Cronin is 70 and isn't going to be a spring chicken. However the dudes from Styx are close to the same age and they were all over the place. Lots of people at the show of retirement age.....I'd say ¾ of them were visibly over 60. It was amusing to watch a woman, who had to be in her 70's, singing along at the top of her lungs with "Pour Some Sugar On Me" which was playing over the PA between bands.

CMRivdogs Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 I saw Styx perform about three years ago at the Ryman in Nashville for an "oldies" show. They can still bring it. Ricky Skaggs was on the same bill. Don't discount the energy of the "retirement" gang. One of the local favorites here is a "horn group", shag band, Good Shot Judy. We caught them last year at a local winery. It was probably the venue's largest draw, mostly over 60. They had folks up and dancing from the start..
