With the above post, it made me think, what kind of music does everyone like? Dont be scared to admit liking something or someone that you feel others may not. You may be surprised who jumps in and you find has the same interest.
I have a wide array of music I like, from 40s like Glenn Miller all the way to 80s, like Van Halen.
I like 50s music in general, Chuck Berry, rockabilly like Bill Haley, and the slow stuff.
60s didnt interest me much, though Beach Boys and most Beatles stuff caught my attn. Paul M. singing "Yesterday" and hearing it in its prime is still among my 1st memories of radio. Still moves me today.
70s, especially mid to late 70s are still songs that are etched in my memory these days. John Denver, Orleans, The Eagles,the singer-songwriters of that time, plus KC and the Sunshine band, The Commodores, those folks were true musicians. So called musicians today could take some powerful lessons from these folks of the 70s. Image being everything today, Elton John was a showman, but he had the chops to back it.
Early 80s were my late teen yrs. and I was induced by those hair bands, Van Halen, Def Leppard, etc. But then MTV came along and ruined it all. Cool at 1st to see your faves, quickly it went down hill.
90s and 2000s havent been very kind to my ears. I have to admit I do like the Backstreet Boys(mainly cause DD got me listening). There are a few good singers but few and far between, too far for me to listen to current radio. Just call me old
I am a HUGE Al Di Meola fan, more so of his early to mid-career work. But I love his later stuff too.
After Al, I like Jethro Tull, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Moody Blues.
Thanks!
