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

From 11 to 17 ???
From Buddy Holly to the Beatles. Buddy was a big influence on the Beatles. In between there was the Beach Boys and all the surf and car music. But I also remember some off beat stuff for kids my age like Mancini's More Music from Peter Gunn, kinda jazz laid back stuff, I remember that Shelly Mann played on that album. I still can remember lyrics from the late 50's, the 60's the early 70's. Guess that dates me, eh?
