FloridaNative said:What about Styx? Nobody remembers them anymore? Or Supertramp. I want you to want me. and nobody mentioned Meatloaf either. Come on, I know somebody out there besides me knows all the words to Paradise by the dashboard light!and Jimi, nobody remembers Jimi either,the best rendition of the star spangled banner ever?? or the Who? and the Doors remember them? and on the softer side nobody mentioned Billy Joel either or Carly Simon. And I know they were totally corny but I loved Kiss back in the day. Kiss alive 2 was a great record! And what about Julio Iglesias?? JUST KIDDING!!! I never could stand him! My grandmother and my aunt LOVED him! YUCK! There's no accounting for taste! lol
If I had my IPOD or laptop here to remind me...
Meatloaf - absolutely! Doors, SuperTramp, etc.... These also. Styx, Kiss, yeah, well not so much, although I did meet Ace Frealy (sp?) after the band disbanded. Billy Joel? Not since he threw away one of the most wonderful women on the planet. Jimi? Nope, gotta draw the line somewhere.
Forgot many, many 60's and 70's groups off, like CCR,...
Some more favs, if you promise not to make fun of me, is The Carpenters and Herb Albert and the Tiajuana Brass!
All of this is making me want to go play some tunes!!!
Oh, Suite Madame Blue was the first song using harmonics that I learned to play on the guitar. My parents were total hippies and I grew up with all kinds of music. When I was like 3 or 4 years old my step dad gave me a cassette tape of Iron Butterfly's In a gada da vida! lol I grew up on all those guys, Foreigner, Nugent, Molly Hatchet, Boston, Bad Company, BTO, Stever Miller Band, CCR, Jimi, Janice Joplin, the Doors, Styx, Aerosmith. My mom was the one that liked the softer stuff, Billy Joel, Carly Simon, Simon and Garfunkle, Carol King, James Taylor, Harry Chapin, Jim Croce and all those guys. Strangely neither my mom nor my step dad had any Bob Dylan records, I discovered him all on my own. And then I got into Kiss, Van Halen, I was a HUGE Led Zepplin fan (still am), Pink Floyd, Dokken, Metallica, Black Sabbath, and being the latina that I am I also am a big fan of Santana and the old classic cuban songs, ay I still love them! Love salsa and merengue but Cuban son is my favorite in the latin genre. Love Juanes, Juan Luis Guerra, Celia azucar! lol, Mana, Buena Vista, for dancing Puerto Rican Power, Grupo Mania, los hermanos rosario, Paulina Rubio ay and then there's reggae Jimmy Cliff, Bob Marley, Aswad, third world and soca and calypso and jazz TOO much good music to name! I've named too much already. Gotta love music! I even love to listen to classical music and the celtic stuff like Enya or even just the instrumental celtic music, I like some opera too, and rap, dancehall, hip hop, love the blues, etc etc country and western is like the only thing I won't listen to. And I am also so sick of Reggaeton. It's like overkill on the radio.
