    The Doors / Donner Pass

    This is a pretty cool video that was shot in the general area where the Donner Party became stranded back in 1846, and shows the weather conditions they had to endure. Even in modern times people become stranded in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The video is hauntingly set to music from The...

    Younger Generation

    Most of us here are from the old classic rock generation, all getting old with our old rock and roll heroes. I never thought that it would happen, but it did. Is there any hope for the future of rock and roll or all the 2000's kids too busy playing video games? :) First a classic from Woodstock...

    Most intense song

    I grew up in the 1960's and 70's and heard a lot of intense songs during my youth, but I swear this song from 1989 trumps them all and sums up my earlier feelings of alienation and anger... Something I Can Never Have - Nine Inch Nails WAGAoy5WZWY That song definitely would have freaked...

So in this thread, post an old song, followed by a cool...

    Songs that freaked your parents out...

    Well, there were quite a few back in the 1960's and 1970's in my case. But thanks to my older brother I got hooked on this song and listened to it a lot behind closed doors in my room with the volume up. Yes, my parents heard it and became worried that I was a potential mass murderer. Yes, I...

    Hello There...

    4D21mxgGRhY Well, so am I :) I was looking for a place to share music and found this site. It seems pretty cool. I was born in 1958, so I was fortunate enough to grow up in the 1960's and 1970's, a time when rock and roll was amazing. I fell in love with rock and roll when I was about 6...
