I'm just not sure how ELO fits into the equation. IMO one of the worst bands of the seventies along with Yes, Moody Blues, and Alan Parsons Project. Digging the Amy Winehouse though...

crunchtastic Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 I paid money to see ELO at a country western club (with small rodeo arena inside) in SA in, I think, 2001 or 2002. I had liked them on Midnight Special when I was little. We almost had to leave because my drunk musician friends started heckling too loudly during 'Xanadu.' The tickets had glitter on them. I kept the stubs.I know what it's like to be shunned for 70s music taste. The stoners almost excommunicated me in 10th grade when it got out that I really hated Rush. That's like being from Texas and not liking football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vertigo58 Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 We still have this early album. It IS classic. You must hear the whole thing. Even won for one of the best album cover's ever via Rolling Stone Mag. Local record stores would have huge wall posters of this album as you entered. Its a very wicked album just like the woman with her flying monkey entourage! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memebag Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 "Don't bring me down...No, No, No, No No...WOOHOOHOO!" I've got a playlist of songs just for swimming with my daughter. We play it over the outdoor speakers. Lots of happy, summer-y sort of stuff. "Mr. Blue Sky" is in there, and now everytime I hear the opening notes I go into a manic frenzy of joy. It's the perfect song for splashing around on a beautiful day. Re Rush: I thought I liked Rush in high school. I had a couple of albums and went to a show. But then I heard King Crimson's "Discipline" album and realized I despised Rush. I still like Skynyrd, though. You can't change a bird.

crunchtastic Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 i didn't know katy was so rough. au contraire! the kickers had their dipping tree located on the other side of campus from the stoner's smoking area, just in case. I still like Skynyrd, though. You can't change a bird. lol, and apparently can't escape one, either. When was Freebird released? That was still makin' it as senior class song well into the 80s. I know what you mean about Mr Blue Sky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now thats really digging into the archives! 7 Eleven stores used to give out free bumperstickers from KIKK radio station, many, many of them. Remember it had the kicker BOOT in red? We used to cut out the ER and stick together to read Proud to "kick" a kicker! All the hippies in the hood displayed proudly on cars and houses. Now I am thinking of "Up against the wall redneck mother's"...That one line said "Just kicking hippies asses and rasiing hell" We always shouted "Just kissin hippies asses and raising hell" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

memebag Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Willie Nelson - Red Headed Stranger - 197?1975. I love that album. My dad turned me on to it when I was a kid. I had a deep loathing of country music back then, and Willie showed me how good it can be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subdude Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 The one artist / composer I've listened to most consistently over the years is probably Philip Glass. I just downloaded another CD set last night. Granted his themes are repetitious, but I never really get tired of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

memebag Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 I loved Koyaanisqatsi and Einstein on the Beach, but Glass's later work annoys me. By Powaqqatsi he started to sound like he was always auditioning for the next Olympic fanfare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastEnd Susan Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 My favorites are Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon, ELO El Dorado, and forgive me... Prince 1999 and Controversy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJones Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 (edited) My favorites are Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon, ELO El Dorado, and forgive me... Prince 1999 and Controversy. HAH! I've got the LIVE version of The Wall, from when they were tearing down the Berlin Wall, playing in my car right now. ELO, the XANADU soundtrack is one of my absolute favorites. I think that is why I am so "in tune" with the gay community. I am a music freak also, and I pretty much like it ALL. My fav right now is "Lollipop". I think it was because I was driving late at night and I had the stereo BLARING'. I don't know, I just like the sound and beat of it. Total bubblegum, but.... I have Bob Marley Legend in my computer right now. That never gets old, and everybody knows it. Paul Oakenfold is good, he has some remixed stuff coming out right now. Paul Van Dyk, he is simply an amazing talent. If I was on a deserted island, and had only 10 CDs to play for the rest of my life, Bob Marley "Legend" and Paul Van Dyk's "out there and back" would take two of those spots. A one hit wonder by the name of Dirty Vegas got my attention for awhile. Although I was listening to them BEFORE the video and a Mitsubishi commerical REALLY helped them out. A couple of other mentionables, The Scabs, and The Scabs frontman on his own, Bob Schneider. I like Rihanna also, good voice on her, even Mandy Moore has done a cover of Rihanna's song Umbrella, which I found hilarious.

houstonmacbro Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Agreed. Dirty Mind was better than 1999, too.And oddly enough, I liked Sign of the Times. Did anyone ever see the concert movie? It was pretty weird (Prince-like) but had some good parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vertigo58 Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 My favorite ELO El Dorado, That one is a trip! and then one of the most obscure (and seldom discussed) one of Fleetwood Mac's earliest albums Mystery To Me "Hypnotized". Very wicked indeed. and cant forget Blue Oyster Cult's - Agent's of Fortune! Watch out long-haired's! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastEnd Susan Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Controversy was SO much better than 1999.I agree totally. Prince lost me when he got to Sign of the times and Parade. Prince For You was okay too but I must say my one of my favorite songs by him was International Lover. Please bring your lips your arms your hips into the up and locked position for landing. lol.
