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

These come to mind;

Van Halen (first album)
Journey (Infinity)
Styx (grand illusion)
Beatles (white album)
AC/DC (Highway to hell)
Forigner (first album)
Led Zepplin (all of them)
Kansas (leftoverture)
Pink Floyd (Dark side of the moon)

Gosh I guess that makes me 41 years old, where does the time go?

Thanks for the flashback!
The Beach Boys - I Get Around 45
Dino, Desi and Billy - I'm A Fool LP
The Beatles - Meet the Beatles LP
The Rolling Stones - I Can't Get Know Satisfaction 45
Gary Lewis and the Playboys Greatest Hits LP
1970-1977. Yes. "The Yes album" - "Going for the One". The band took me through the ages of 11-18. I was really bummed out when Patrick Moraz replaced Rick Wakeman on "Relayer" in 1974. As a keyboard player, I aspired to Wakeman's playing ability and classical/rock style.

But then I discovered Chick Corea in 1974. I worshipped the ground he walked on.

And I still do today.
