<p>Yeah, Mozart is just amazing. Haydn is pretty good too.</p>
<p>Wait, what? 1970’s? Oh.</p>
<p>Never mind…</p>
<p>:cool:</p>
<p>This is why I am excited that my new car comes with XM radio. When I have had a rental car with XM I always store these stations-60’s, 70’s, classic vinyl, and classic rewind, along with a few other stations. My son would be in heaven if he had XM as he would listen to the Grateful Dead station most of the time!</p>
<p>David Bowie: Alladin Sane, Pinups, Ziggy Stardust, Diamond Dogs, Young Americans, in that order. No wait–#1 is David Live.
Yes: Fragile
Jethro Tull: Thick as a Brick, Stand-up, Aqualung
Roxy Music: Siren (remember Love is the Drug?)
The Kinks: just about anything–but “Ducks on the Wall” is hilarious. Didn’t you guys grow up with 3 ducks on the wall–one with wings up, one with wings down and one with wings up and down? Remember, above the circa 1950’s couch with the kidney shaped coffee table?
Lena Lovich: can’t remember the album names, but my favorite song: You can’t kill me</p>
<p>Okay, now all my old college friends know exactly who I am…</p>
<p>AAHHH, gotta break out the LP’s now. Thanks for the memories.</p>
<p>Roxy Music–love them. precursors of the whole New Wave movement.</p>
<p>and my H and I probably own the biggest collection of Kinks vinyl this side of the Altantic. I love Ducks on the Wall (though it is a bit cruel.)</p>
<p>but I gotta say, if i never hear Yes or Tull again, that would be okay.</p>
<p>The Grateful Dead-American Beauty
Allman Brothers Band-Eat a Peach; Fillmore East
T-Rex
Traffic-Low Spark of High Heeled Boys; Shootout at the Fantasy Factory
John Prine
Poco-A Good Feelin’ to Know
Lou Reed Live
Robin Trower-Bridge of Sigh
Stevie Wonder-Innervisions; Songs in the Key of Life
Santana-Abraxas</p>
<p>Wow. And I thought I was the first person to be amazed by this. To the OP: My son has a Woodstock poster in his dorm room! The whole floor is lined with posters of Bob Marley. Poor old Bob has been dead for 30 years! Woodstock was (what?) 42 years ago. I, his mother, was too young to go to Woodstock at the time. </p>
<p>Yeah, it would be like our generation having Glen Miller posters up and listening to Chattanooga Choo Choo.</p>
<p>///My D is more into the modern, folkie type music, but I have introduced her to Pat Benatar, Jim Croce, Miriam Makeba and early Simon and Garfunkel.///</p>
<p>I have a good friend who bought a Jim Croce guitar several months ago in New Orleans on Royal Street.
I was also standing in the store when a signed (by all 4) Beatles guitar sold for $125,000
There was an Elvis guitar priced higher than that. I can’t remember what the price was</p>
<p>I agree with the OP’s point that today’s kids seem to really like some of our music. My D learned to love the oldies when she was little; she used to accompany DH on his Saturday errands and I guess they’d crank up the classic rock station on their outings.</p>
<p>She especially adores Queen and The Who, and has more recently discovered CCR (one of my favorites) as well as Sly and the Family Stone.</p>
<p>Though this was just before I was born, I do love several musical acts from the 60’s and to some extent…the '70s. </p>
<p>60’s</p>
<p>Dick Dale<em>, Sam Cooke, Bobby Day, Temptations, Ventures, Surfaris, Bobby Fuller Four</em>, The Who, Jimi Hendrix*, MC5</p>
<p>70’s</p>
<p>Queen, Ramones, The Dictators, 101ers, The Clash*, Sex Pistols, Runaways/Joan Jett, Modern Lovers, Bob Marley, etc.</p>
<ul>
<li>They inspired me to admiring the Fender Stratocaster and Telecaster guitars.</li>
</ul>
<p>Eagles. Led Zeppelin. Tull. Sly. Donna Summer. Cream. Omg- Marvin Gaye. Yes. And most of the classic stuff noted above. But I am a not-so-secret disco nut, old stuff plus more recent technodisco. Or club disco. (Really, “lose yourself in dance” music.) For years, it made commuting reasonable. Blasting it wore away the day’s stresses. This is a happy thread.
My kids watched every Elvis movie. One has the darned tongue poster on her wall.
Anyone remember when hard rock had to be played on “underground stations,” later at night? Who’d have thought it would have endured so long? It’s kind of a triumph for those decades.</p>
<p>Love Marvin- Love Eddie Vedder, but have to say even though I think his version of Rain O’er Me is more compelling than Daltrey’s, the youtube of Vedder & the Strokes doing Mercy, Mercy Me, just made me want to get out my old vinyl.</p>
<p>Like the Eagles, especially when they had Joe Walsh.
Hendrix was amazing[But this guy comes pretty close for a hometown boy](<a href=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGAqyzDWQeA”>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGAqyzDWQeA</a>)
Missed Hendrix on the Monkees tour ( did you know they are touring this summer? 
)
Johnny & Edgar Winter, the James Gang, Humble Pie, Climax Blues Band, Ten Years After, Rufus, Pointer Sisters, Tower of Power ( whom I used to see at the local roller rink)</p>
<p>I liked jazz even in my 20’s- John Klemmer, Grover Washington Jr., Jean-Pierre Rampal…
A concert that I will never forget was @ the Seattle Opera House with Ella, Oscar Peterson, Joe Pass & Count Basie. I think I was about 20 & I snagged tickets in the third row. 
( It helped to work at a independent record store- I also got to see Eric Clapton in a very small theatre during those days) I grew up listening to Cream, Eric Burdon & the Animals, Janis Ian etc.</p>
<p>My youngest likes hip hop & rap mostly, but she also has some of my old albums decorating her apartment. ( & although she teases me about my religion * Pearl Jam : there is only one Commandment & it is don’t be an a$$hole*, she tried to get my vinyl of * Into the Wild* for her walls & I also noticed she just watched [url=<a href=“http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116589/]Hype![/url”>Hype! (1996) - IMDb]Hype![/url</a>]</p>
<p>I’m also looking forward to my tour of Motown this summer ( but the ukelele concert is the big attraction) :)</p>
<p>^^^Seattle Eagles Auditorium circa 1968-1970. Jeff Beck, Moody Blues, 10 Years After, Chicago Transit Authority, etc. Those were the days my friend…</p>
<p>My son and I traded some music from our ipods. He gave me Pendelum, Shinedown, Fear in Faith and Airborne Toxic Event. In return he got John Prine, Jimmy Buffett, Bob Dylan and Steve Goodman. Bet I listen to his more than he listens to mine…</p>
<p>I loved the music of the late sixties, early seventies, especially the “soul” music. Spent the weekend in Memphis recently, and everywhere we went, Marvin Gaye, Otis Redding, and the like were playing. Loved it! When in college, we used to have New Wave at the Rat on Thursday night, along with Dollar Bottles of Saint Pauli’s Girl. How I miss those days. Husband has Sirius radio now, and I bounce back and forth between Seventies on 7, Sixties on 6, and First Wave. When son is in car, it’s AltNation, which is fine. Husband alone listens to Howard 101, which I will sometimes tolerate if there’s a good guest. We all love Muse and the Foo Fighters, though.</p>
<p>muddybubbles - I think your son is my son! Led Zeppelin is my son’s favorite band and his playlist looks just like your son’s.</p>
<p>DS had a hs rock band and they were the only rock band to ever be asked to play at the hs graduation. Makes a momma proud :).</p>
<p>BTW, DH and I take full credit for our S having such great musical taste.</p>
<p>the Marshall Tucker Band" and “Kansas” are playing 25 miles from my house in 2 and 5 weeks. I do not know how many are left, but they sure were good in the day.</p>
<p>^^^Kansas played with my son’s college orchestra, and he didn’t go! Husband and I were livid! How could you pass that up!</p>
<p>When I was in high school in Massachusetts in the early '70’s, Aerosmith played at a dance at my high school. Also, I attended a Bob Seger concert in Boston for which they had to get an obscure local bar band as a last-minute substitute for Seger’s opening act. We all chuckled at the unheard-of group’s name…The Cars.</p>
<p>As it happens, next week’s theme on American Idol is songs written/performed by Carole King. I wonder how many of the contestants even have a clue who she is. Should be a fun wallow, in any case.</p>
<p>I’m always amazed at the number of songs that Carole King wrote–songs I never associated with the folk rock “Tapestry” sort of songs.</p>
<p>Example–Herman’s Hermits “I’m Into Something Good.” Love that song! Great song to sing in the car…</p>
