Okay, can't hold back anymore --------- sitting here watching the music awards - 30 minutes into it, I have no idea who these people are??????? but, that's not surprising given my age! So... I laugh when I read the previous posts of the members whos list "old rock" or "classic Rock" as their favorites...(and they are all from the 70's & 80's)
I also love "Classic Rock", but, my classic rock is 20-plus years older?? The lists of classic rock in previous posts are all 70's & 80's stuff - I never heard of most of them.....
I had a rock band when I was 15-16 years old and we played old rock n' roll and maybe a beatles song or two (they were just becoming popular then).
So.............. anyone out there remember the late 50' - early 60's - pre-beatles era? The original rock n' roll groups & artists that took swing & rockabilly & country into the original "Rock n' Roll" classics????? I also love the "English Invasion" of the early 60's, but my favorites are the songs from the late 50's & early 60's, non-English groups.
Just to put it in perspective, I would have graduated from HS in 1966, but I joined the Army instead and was in Vietnam when most my age were in college. I had older siblings so my knowledge of music was several years older than my age...
So... classic rock, golden oldies, etc., means Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis, Buddy Holly, Ricky Nelson, Doo Wap, and a hundred other singles & groups from that era...... Oh yeah, Bob Dylan, Peter, Paul & Mary, Kingston Trio, etc., etc., etc., - I liked folk & protest stuff too (even though I'm an Army volunteer & volunteered for 'nam... - go figure - a protester & a patriotic veterean :roll:
Sorry........... I'm just old :lol:
