<p>Ok, who will admit to cutting out a Bobby Sherman 45 on the back of a box of cereal??? Honeycomb if I remeber correctly!</p>
<p>Bobby Sherman…ooohhh you made my night! He made “Watching Scottie Grow” seem profound.</p>
<p>
I can play a whole lotta stuff on a six string…do you know the secret of playing great Rolling Stones guitar?</p>
<p>People try to put us down just because we g…g…get around.</p>
<p>Oh, Cat Stevens, James Taylor, Carol King, Joni Mitchell, Joan Baez, Jackson Browne…I had the dubious honor of being a Browne roadie (not official, mind you) and friends and I drove all over the eastern half of the US whenever he was on tour. We once drove to Tanglewood and all the lawn seats were sold out, but some local Lenox shopkeeper knew the lighting guy or something, and let us go to his band warm up, before the show…with only about twenty other people. That’s a great memory.</p>
<p>And I could play ALL the above stuff on a six string. Them’s were the days.</p>
<p>-Allmusic- I was there both nights at Post Pavillion (Columbia MD) where much of Running on Empty was recorded live. Got the pics to prove it! :)</p>
<p>Any Joe Jackson fans out there? </p>
<p>How 'bout Elvis Costello?</p>
<p>
Me, me. And Elvis C too.</p>
<p>I was a proud member of the Banana Splits fan club and cut out an Archies 45 from a cereal box.</p>
<p>My music that D has claimed as her own includes Velvet Underground, Elvis Costello, The Jam, Violent Femmes, The Smiths, Leonard Cohen, Simon & Garfunkle,Joni Mitchell, k.d. lang and late 70s and early 80s one hit wonders.</p>
<p>You had to go and say Banana Splits, didn’t you?</p>
<p>Now I’ve got an ear worm!</p>

<p>“Na-na-na. Na-na-na-na.
Na-na-na. Na-na-na-na”</p>
<p>UCLAri:
I do love Beethoven. It’s just when I drew up my desert island discs list there seemed to be so many works by Mozart and Bach! And you are allowed only 10.
I do also like the Beatles, and can still sing the Everly Brothers’ Dream, dream, dream in French as a lot of American pop tunes got translated.</p>
<p>Noooooo!</p>
<p>I can’t get it out of my head!</p>
<p>Oh, yeah! That reminds me…</p>
<p>Electric Light Orchestra</p>
<p>Teen who likes older music posting here. I’m scrolling through my iTunes right now just to see what percentage of the music comes from before my time. By the looks of it, I really belong in your generation.</p>
<p>Some artists pre-1980 (or thereabouts):
Arlo Guthrie, The Band, The Beatles, Bill Monroe, Bob Dylan, Bob Marley, The Byrds, The Doobie Brothers, Eric Clapton, Fleetwood Mac, Frank Zappa, Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Leonard Cohen, Little Richard, Paul Simon/Simon and Garfunkel, Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, Santana, The Who.</p>
<p>Its only a part of my collection… but still.</p>
<p>Goaliedad,</p>
<p>I was a big ELO fan in the day, but it has not aged well.</p>
<p>Along with:</p>
<p>Styx
Kansas
Foreigner
(insert your favorite late 70s rock band here)</p>
<p>I’ll still take the Clash any day.</p>
<p>Electric Light Orchestra! I was in junior high at that time! Nice memories :)</p>
<p>Crosby Stills Nash & Young; Jefferson Airplane; Beatles; Rolling Stones. Most of our songs were about drugs or protest. It was a great time (and I was not using drugs 
).</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Or the Kinks?</p>
<p>Speaking of whether I should stay or go (to bed) now… zzzzzzzzzz</p>
<p>High School was mostly Simon and Garfunkel though I loved Nashville Skyline and the House at Pooh Corner was a summer song that I painted to my sophomore year.</p>
<p>College - Pink Floyd “Money”. Boyfriend (now husband) liked Yes, but I loathed them. And I had a roommate who played Pachabel’s Canon so much I can barely listen to it now.</p>
<p>Grad school - Talking Heads “Pyscho Killer” and “Take me to the River”, Blondie. “Call me”</p>
<p>Will I be banned from this forum if I admit that I introduced my grandmother to two of my favorites in hs - Neil Diamond…and Tschaikovsky???</p>
