Old And Awesome

Unknown
edited November -1 in General Discussion
I have always found myself embroiled deep within the old music.
I have discovered recently the wonder of such bands as:
The Turtles
The Zombies
Buffalo Springfield
Loggins and Messina

Etc...

I have the most rockin' version of little red rooster. Its a joint effort between John Lee Hooker and The Yardbirds (Jimmy Page & Jeff Beck, et al) Rocks your socks off if you're wearing any!

    exactly!
    They were the ones who started it all.

    I never really got into old stuff that much.
    By that I mean I don't really like the stuff that's considered "classic rock". you know, like led zepplin and pink floyd and stuff.

    I don't know why.

    As for old stuff in the vein of "classic rock" I enjoy me some Led Zepplin and AC/DC. smile.gif
  • setsumisetsumi
    Good thread. I love The Zombies and The Byrds.

    Julie, you like AC/DC? Great, you hard rockin' woman!!

    You're missing out on The Kinks, especially if you like the Libertines. And you're not going to enjoy the new Bright Eyes album nearly as much if you don't check out a bit of early Bob Dylan at the same time. Listening to a bit of early XTC will make the Franz and Futureheads albums even more enjoyable, too.

    And John Lee Hooker is a personal favorite.

    i sooo missed the kinks. them i know and like hehe.

    but i'm afraid my musical tastes are based on what my parents listened to.... so i'm stuck wit david cassidy and queen (oh how we love queen) and other random POP they listened to. OH and simon and garfunkel. mrs robinson, awesome song hehe. i've been up for like 17 hours i gotta get me into bed! blink.gif

    I effing love Queen! They are awesome. I also enjoy a bit of Simon and Garfunkel. And don't tell anyone, but I also used to like the Carpenters.

    Leviathan, your signature makes me so happy. Because Hair is like my friends' and my favorite movie. One time we watched the Black Boys/White Boys scene like 27 times. Not exaggerating.

    Gaaah...way to be off-topic, Sparklytaco...

    But Hair is old music! So nevermind! I'm on topic, sorta!

    It's weird, I was just saying how OK Go should do a cover of "Happy Together" by The Turtles.

    I personally like anything Phil Spector produced. THAT'S old music.
  • women60bananawomen60banana
    Weezer did a really great "Happy Together" cover.
  • woodmaid8woodmaid8
    Ugh, none of the recent covers of that song have been near the quality of the original.

    I do love The Kinks and The Who, but I never got into Led Zep and Pink Floyd just annoys me. I guess I don't have the attention span (or the hallucinogens) to appreciate them.
  • doctor5capdoctor5cap
    AC/DC
    Bon Jovi
    and for some reason i've always been drawn to elvis costello... it must be the cool glasses cool.gif
  • tune1shadetune1shade
    The Who
    The Doors
    Led Zepp.
    JANIS JOPLIN. OH MY GOD, JANIS JOPLIN
    Simon and Garfunkel

    This is what comes from being friends with hippies/being my mother's daughter (she made me appreciate S&G through Parsley, Sage, Rosemary & Thyme)

    Yes and yes.

    My ex-boyfriend's dad determined that I was a suitable girlfriend based solely on the fact that I started belting out "Mercedes Benz" in the car one time.
