Talkin' bout YOUR generation...

Hello.

A lightweight thread here, folks. Just want to see where we are all coming from - YOUR generation, that is.

We all had a defining band growing up. In your formative years, who was that band??? The only rules are that you have to pick a band from the time when you were somewhere between the ages of 11 and 17, and they have had to be current at the time - still together and vibrant. For example, at age 34, I can't pick The Beatles, Stones, Zeppelin, or The Who, even though I may have listened to them a great deal. As such, I doubt any of us will be able to choose Haydn or Vivaldi...

It would be that if CDs were in cars at the time, that would be blaring when you picked up your friends. It doesn't mean you have to still be listening to them today. Heck, you may even hate them now.

I think it will provide a little insight into our backgrounds and a special time of our lives. OK, so let's have some fun with this!

MY choice in my time period(1980 - 1986) would have to be Van Halen, and I don't even listen to them anymore

Good thread Trejla. My choice would be Led Zepplin. I was big into Zepplin. It would have been the years of 1971-1977 for my time period. I still have a 8 track recording of a 4 hour special my local radio station did when John Bonham died. I was crushed September 25 1980. Oddly enough, I don't listen to much Zepplin anymore. I guess I'm getting old.

Since we are expanding the thread, other faves were:

The Stones (yes, they used to be good)
Skynard
Black Sabbath
Pink Floyd
Aerosmith (they used to be good too)
Deep Purple
AC/DC (they still are pretty good)
