The Music Thread...

[boozeman]

Nope.

God. Damn.

What the fuck were you doing in 1974?

Just kidding.

I first heard Dreamer in 1980.

It was when one kid brought it into "record day" when you could bring your favorite 45 record.

I just lost track of the band as only had that one two-sided 45.

I guess a lot of my music interests were indeed influenced by my family, especially my sisters.

Whatever they liked, I hated. Now that I look back at their older stuff, they are just like The Doors for me now.

So, you hate them now?

You can argue there were better bands or bigger bands or whatever, but no band in history epitomized sex, drugs, and rock and roll more than Fleetwood Mac.

They used to buy cocaine in bulk then have the record company write it off on taxes as a business expense.

Everyone would get a daily ration of coke, and Mick would go around and bully the others into giving theirs to him if they didn't use it all that day.

And I'll leave you with the best live version of "Go Your Own Way" that you will ever find.

 

[Cujo]

Nope.

They have a pretty good catalog of work from the mid 70s til the early 80s

So, you hate them now?

No, I used to not like them, now I do.

They are a bit unusual in that they needed the female influence. I am sure they all had orgies and shit.

 

[boozeman]

It is weird to listening to music that speaks to you from the distance.

I can tell you this right now, I cannot handle popular music.

I have now officially turned into my father.

Their first lead singer, Peter Green, went batshit crazy the rest of his life because they did so much LSD in the 60s.

Here's the song that spurred my interest in Supertramp. I had heard it a million times but heard it differently one day.

Fantastic song, whole album was excellent.

 

[p1_]

Nope.

you were sheltered my friend. Its never too late to learn.

 

[Cotton]

I have been listening to them to try and catch up. I like them.

 

[p1_]

Is this one new too?

 

[p1_]

Man, the 70's was so rich in quality music. Think about how it compares to today's music.

 

[p1_]

a new band Im liking.

 

[Bipo]

Lindsey Buckingham is a criminally underrated guitarist.

That is one helluva lineup, but starting at $600 a ticket, no thanks.

 

[Genghis Khan]

My first thought was this was about Texas metal band Power Trip. Kind of lame to use that name.

 

[Genghis Khan]

That's absurd. Great lineup but I hope no one goes. A $600 concert should not be happening.
