I really do. Yeah.....thats a fair assumption for *you* to make really. The song has quite a bit of relavence historically and for those who lived through those times. But it is quite true that its relevance is mostly diminished with time even though echoes of it can still be heard from time to time. > > > > -Kansas > > > >Not as popular as they should have been.

It's a good song, but one of your favorites? What about some > other Kansas tunes like "Glimpse Of Home", "Loner", or "The Pinnacle"? Good songs, but for those of us who lived through those times they were MOS. Actually, this is where your POV is usefull because you can see the groups whole catalogue simultaneously whereas we older folks tend to view the same catalogue temporaly. Have you ever noticed this effect where people like a bands first few albums immensely and their later albums somewhat less so? Thats where we old folks are at a disadvantage at least as far as decades old music is concerned. > > > > > > > -Rolling Stones > > > >In a holding pattern since 1971. > > No comment. > > > > > -Jethro Tull > > > > >Totally awesome band who's concerts were note perfect every time I saw > >them. > > You saw them?! That's pretty neat. > Several times. Concerts back in the 70s were often elaborate spectacles with special effects, full blown sets (with props and all), and sometimes even films that were a part of the concert experience. They just don't do that kind of "over the top" theatrical stuff anymore. I suppose it's just too expensive. > > > > >You forgot Genesis > > Phil is annoying to no end. And I dislike some of the religious overtures. Actually, I'm refering to the period when Phil was just a drummer and Peter Gabriel was the vocalist. That was back when Genesis was "great" if less than enormously popular. AFAIC, the only good Genesis album after Gabriel left was A Trick Of A Tail. Phil is annoying to me too. Good vocalist though. > > >Queen > > I like them. Brian May is one of my favorite guitarists. And of course > Freddie was a very talented vocalist. You have to remember that Queen was *the* biggest band in the world for a few years and deservedly so. They wrote songs that transcended rock'n'roll, and transcended the music business, to nest in movies, parody, and sporting events. That's just not something that can be done with the intent to do so and Queen did this multiple times. > > >Golden Earring > > Certainly not to be overlooked. Though I must say that White Lion did a > better job on "Radar Love" than Earring did!! I'm not impressed with the White Lion version. (Temporalism strikes again<G>) But I highly recommend Moontan. Every song is a jewel, every song is completely different from the others, and every song is a lesson in composition. Radar Love is the worst song on the album, but it *is* very accessable to the Pop ear. > > >Supertramp > > Blah. Ever try Crime Of The Century or Crisis What Crisis? > > >10CC > > Who? 10CC is worthy of their own thread. Awesome conceptualists and composers. How Dare You still sounds new today and is filled with some of the wildest quirkiest song ideas. A real work of Art. > > >David Bowie > > Amazing artist. More influential than one may think. I don't see how anyone could doubt this. I was listening to Bowie when he was still generally regarded as "That Fag". Idiots!!!!!! Brilliant, absolutely blinded by staring at the sun brilliant. Again, Thank You Britain! > > >Rush > > Very solid band. Way back when I hated Rush and Zepplin with a purple passion. I was wrong. > > >Aerosmith > > One of the greatest Rock bandsever. Tyler is an amazing vocalist. Joe Perry is one of the best at inventing guitar hooks. Really oustanding at times. > > >Kiss > > I loathe Kiss. But apparantly thay had a great live show (one of the best) > and they were very influential. The music is pretty solid and well thought out for the most part. Very lean and quite fun. But the show is the real reason to love the music. Film just never seems to capture the feel of their live act. Its worth the price of admission. > > >Steve Miller > > Decent. The songwriting in Millers early career was much better. > > >Chicago > > I like Chicago. I respect them, but never owned any of their albums. They were excellent in their early career though. > > >Thin Lizzy > > Awesome band. I actually paid for Jailbreak, but they never cracked my top 100. > > > >Edgar Winter > > Ah....ok. > > >Jonny Winter > > Is he related to Tommy Summer? Yuck yuck yuck!!! > > >Bad Company > > So, so. Were something of a phenomena from the start and put out a respectable track record. Just good rock music, nothing flashy. > > >Foghat > > I like em. Lonesome Dave will be missed. They used to pass through town every four months or so. I must have seen them 10 times. Mostly by accident as they were a perrenial backup band. > > >Foreigner > > I saw Foreigner in 97 I think.

Good band though. > > >Peter Frampton > > Also saw Frampton in 97 (same show). But I can't stand him. He's so > overrated because he uses a voice box. "WOW!!! He can make his guitar > talk!!!!!!" Please.... He wrote some good songs early on. > > >Humble Pie, > > 30 Days In The Hole? If so, good song. Frampton came from this band. They were quite popular with the drug addled set. On their last tour ever they played for 5 hours straight.(it might have been their last concert ever. very wild night) Hell of a way to say goodbye.
