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

Man, I see quite a few I used to own listed here! The four I probably listened to the most, and would consider "defining" in the context of this post would be:

Allman Brothers Band (Eat a Peach and Live at the Fillmore)
Derek and the Dominos
Santana (Abraxas)
[I still enjoy each of those - they simply cannot be replaced]

Others I probably wore out, but haven't seen listed here yet would include:

Steppenwolf (Live)
Foghat (Rock and Roll)
J. Giles Band (Full House)
Yes (Tales from Topographical Oceans-and all the others!)
Humble Pie (Rockin the Fillmore and Smokin)
Cream (Strange Brew)
Aerosmith (Dream On)-[I saw them from row 8 just after release of their 2nd album-what a show!]
Robin Trower (Bridge of Sighs)

and so many more........
