Great stuff! I really like seeing old members return.
Great stuff! I really like seeing old members return.
Thank you all for such a gracious welcome. I look forward to digging into the archives and getting a feel for the forum and it's members. I've just come from a board that was active for several years...an offshoot of the defunct Rolling Stone message boards we'd frequented since 1999...and now it is on it's death bed as well. I was looking for a new place to hang out, and hopefully this could be it.
-The Beatles
-Bruce Springsteen
-The Rolling Stones
-Black Sabbath
-Pink Floyd
-Led Zeppelin
-Yes
-Genesis (Gabriel period)
-Mike Oldfield
-Grateful Dead
Those bands are definitely on my list of favorites...I've listened to them so much, though, that I rarely break out their cds anymore. I have most of their catalogs consigned to memory anyway. Most of those band had their biggest (or intital) run of success in the 70s. I do tend to prefer that period of classic rock, although there are several 80s bands that I would also consider "classic rock" who I very much enjoy (Husker Du, Psychedelic Furs, very early REM, a few others). I can't say I'm partial to much of the 90s music. I do like the IDM/glitch stuff like Autechre and Aphex Twin from that time period, as well as Red House Painters, but that's all I can think of (Radiohead's "OK Computer" is classic, though).
As for contemporary music, the only things I really love are Sigur Ros and Jonsi (their lead vocalist who is releasing a solo album here in a couple of weeks).
I enjoy several different kinds of music. I'll listen to one style for a while until I start to get burned out on it, then I'll move on to another style and so forth and so on until I come back around to the first. Right now I'm in a classical/opera phase. I am a HUGE fan of Richard Wagner and his "Ring of the Nibelung" cycle in particular.
Once again...thank you for the welcome.

Does that make you 300 years old?
Nah, welcome to the site, I'm sure you'll love it here
Actually I'm 324 years old, but I don't really show it. You'd think a man of those years would be able to exercise greater control of English grammar, but then again senility will do that to you.
Naw...I just mean to say that I was listening to the Who, Jethro Tull, ELP, The Stones, etc. etc. etc. back when I was 8 years old, and that's right at 30 years of classic rock...I mean to say I was listening to it before it was called "classic"...
Any other old foagies here?

Hey, I was listening to the Beatles and the Stones on the radio when they first hit big, and I was shelling out for their albums by 1967!
Welcome!
