I love this song. Mixes just don't sound like this anymore. I've been having a classic tunes night while I'm working.

Other listenings:

Elton John - Your Song
Pilot - Oh Oh Its Magic
CCR - Bad Moon Rising
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
Joe Cocker - With a Little Help From my Friends
Nazareth - Son of a *****
Eagles - Hotel California
Lynard Skynard - Tuesday's Gone
Led Zepplin - Stairway to Heaven

Rock on!

What're you listening to?
 
Classic Rock will always have a special place for me; I was a child of the 70's (born in 1970)

From Fleetwood Mac to the Eagles to Billy Squier ...

Lately ?

I have been junkying on Springsteen.
 
I was a child of the 80's (born in 1980). While I liked the 80's ok for the most part, I always felt myself spinning the 60's and 70's vinyl. I think maybe because my parents were from an older era and that's what I had access to. I don't hear that chunkiness in the bass and percussion lines anymore. Even old country from those eras sounded tight (Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, Conway Twitty, & Loretta Lynn)

Springsteen is awesome. I thought his sound carried over nicely into the 80's. I have a soft spot for Born in the USA. I especially love "I'm on Fire". What are your favorites?
 
Last week it was Southside Johnny and Steven Van Zandt.

This week David Bowie.

According to Amazon, next week should be Booker T. & The MGs, Junior Walker, and the Phil Spector gang.

I'm just all over the place. :)

Damn. I started shaving before John started walking.

Nice. I'm a huge Bowie fan.

Patty Griffin released a new album this week, so I pulled out all of her old ones too. The most depressing music you'll ever hear. :crybaby:

Other regulars on rotation: U2, Peter Gabriel, Billy Joel. I love 70's rock. Zepplin, Boston, Steve Miller Band, etc.
 
Weird as it may sound, I never listened to much in the 70's. Too busy playing the songs to get around to listening to the originals. :)

First song I learned on the bass was Silver Paper (Mountain). And it wasn't until last year that I heard Mountain's version of it. Seriously. Nancy* used to write out sheetmusic for us, and we'd just play whatever she gave us.

Mountain, Chicago, Neil Young, Moody Blues, Stones. Whatever. Covers, but our own take on them. Jack Flash with an extended 2-beat swing break in the middle....why not?

*1972 and our lead guitartist/lead singer was a girl. We're out there jamming Mississippi Queen, and she's tearing up the SG wearing a dress.

Ah, the good ol' days.

I love the Born album but lately have listening to songs from The River

=

Funny thing is I never really got into Springsteen until my adult years.
 
Been to a concert? The best.

Had my car broken into, my SLR and a rented tele stolen, and I didn't care. The concert was so damn fun.
 
This week it seems to be a potpouri (sp?) of music...

The Rat Pack
Dean Martin
Tony Bennett
AC/DC
Led Zeppelin
Louis Armstrong
Count Basie
Tenacious D (told you it was a little mixing of music)
U2
Bruce Springsteen
John Williams' scores
and a bunch of other artists as well

Aaron, I was just in the original "Muscle Shoals Sound Studios" Wednesday afternoon where Bob recorded MAINSTREET as well as many of his other hits back in the 70's. The owner Noel Webster has restored the studio back to its original analog sound equipment down to the model numbers of all the equipt. used back then..
The hits, the sound, the vibes from that studio are just priceless...
From Bob, The Stones, Paul Simon, Wilson Pickett, Rod Stewart, Cher and the list goes on and on.
Its going to take us awhile but Noel & myself want to do a documentry on the studio and interview many of the artists that recorded at "3614 Jackson Highway" (the undiscriptive name on the front of the building)
