<p>Everytime I hear “My Sharona” by The Knack I am transported back to Corbin/GSP, University of Kansas.</p>
<p>The girls across the hall had the 45 of it and played it over and over and over. They were playing it when we moved it. It became a running joke. They played it every morning and at night and when they were getting dressed to go out.</p>
<p>We took the record hostage at one point and made them go on a scavenger hunt for it.</p>
<p>I am glad that you DON’T fit into the stereotype. Hope you saw the tribute to her on the Grammies. Not knowing you, not sure whether I would pay a price to have an audio of what you describe :D. You guys are sending me back to the iTunes store again, thanks for the reminders!</p>

<p>Your generation has much better taste in music than mine does. :(</p>
<p>I can’t believe nobody’s mentioned ELO. Does anyone remember the message “The music is reversable, but time is not; turn back… turn back” when you spun the LP backwards?</p>
<p>Seattle Pop Festival - July 1969 - Doors, Led Zep, Tina Turner, Chuck Berry, Beautiful Day, etc. FM radio was pretty cutting edge then. Now FM is mainstream and about the Benjamins. My daughters were very POed that the FM Wash DC alt-rock station went to a Hispanic format last month.</p>
<p>Although it must be said that ELO was about as flatulent as Pop-music ever got, lol.</p>
<p>Part of the excesses of the mid/late 70’s prog-rock:
Kansas
Yes
ElO
Alan Parsons
Return to Forever
Rick Wakeman</p>
<p>(heard in the stairwell:
… “if only rock & roll were more like faux-classical music I would buy a few more 8-tracks, until then I’m sticking with Mantovanni and 101 Strings”).</p>
<p>Dudedad, </p>
<p>cutting edge till about '71/2, wouldn’t you say?</p>
<p>Wood - pretty much…btw they are changing the format of one of the public stations in DC that plays classical to talk, and we lost a fabulous jazz format public to talk about five years ago…Serius and XM anyone?</p>
<p>Yemaya,</p>

<p>The other day I was visiting an elderly friend in a nursing home. I passed the Activities Director leading a group of wheelchair-bound patients in “Somewhere Over the Rainbow”, and they were swaying their arms around while trying to sing. I got to wondering what it will be like when we baby boomers are in those wheelchairs. Will we be singing " Inna Godda Devida"?</p>

I must say I haven’t heard of half those bands, but I did just buy tickets for a crohns disease fundraiser with an UFO cover band featuring Mike McCready ( lead guitarist from pearl Jam). I attended last year and it was a big treat to see Eddie on the drums and play his ukelule.</p>

<p>Whoa forgot HS: Fleetwood Mac!! College: Pretenders!!</p>
<p>Has anyone mentioned The Who, and Woodstock? Man, SBMom I am so old. Fleetwood Mac was my law school favorite, Landslide in particular :(</p>
