A music thread . . . - The Firearms Forum

Well, we have an "average age" thread running right now. I thought it might be fun to see what popular songs some of you most remember and enjoyed from your teenage, "growing up" years. Here's a list of some of my favorites:

Puff, the Magic Dragon--Peter, Paul, and Mary
Black is Black--Los Bravos
Patches--Dicky Lee
Ebony Eyes--The Everly Brothers
Foolish Little Girl--The Shirelles
Greenfields--The Brothers Four
Lonely Bull--Tijuana Brass
Town Without Pity--Gene Pitney

Nope, you won't see any Beatles on my list! I always liked the ballads, and especially the folk stuff.

OK, Marlin, now tell us about Benny Goodman.

I'm a Classical music nut, Pistol. All my collection consists of Beethoven, Handel, Haydn, Mozart, Mendelssohn and a little Dvorák, Brahms and Bach.

I did like the Irish Rovers, some of the Beach Boys, but none of the Rock and Roll. Loved Elvis doing Gospel along with the Oak Ridge Boys and the Statlers.

I was just ribbing you about Benny Goodman, Marlin.

I don't disagree with any of the classical choices you name, though I incline more toward Strauss and Tchaikovsky than Brahms and Bach. I could listen to Beethoven all day, and often do.

I must admit though, my taste for classical music did not develop until I was in my 30s. As a kid, I was very much into the folks stuff. I still am to some extent, mostly because those old songs bring back so many memories.

I think the Beatles did some good ballads too. All of yours are good, I would add the beach boys, jan & dean, chuck berry all the hot rod/car music.

Anybody have XM radio?

SQUIZZ
#48

IS

WHERE

ITS

AT

Actually XM is really cool, classical for both Marlin and the other Marlin (me) and it's only going to get better when XM and Sirus merge.

Pistol I can't really answer your questions about favorite song(s), so I'll have to do it with genre.

Blues are great
Rap is sh**
Reggia is cool
Christian rock, soul and others are good
Country isn't ever allowed in this house.
Oldies (ya know like 70s 80s LOL

)
Ceberal new age, its like meditation music.

EDIT:I forgot to say or tell you all that you can get XM via the internet too.

I was a teenager in the 70's when that evil force called

disco

first raised it's ugly head!

I liked all kinds of Rock and Roll, Bob Seger, Eric Clapton, Boston, Arrowsmith. I liked Led Zepplin for about one year, but don't like them any more. I used to like all the Beatles music, now I only like their early pre-druggie stuff.

Their are still some new bands making good rock music! Even though I'm 45 it makes me feel young that I can still enjoy some new music. Nickel Back, Green Day, Creed, Matchbox Twenty and other current bands are still putting out good music!

Bruce FLinch · 04-02-2007, 12:57 AM

Ted Nugent & the Amboy Dukes come to mind. Also Eric Clapton & Cream. Ah.. the Good Old Days

berto64 · 04-02-2007, 03:33 AM

Cream definitely with Ginger Baker on drums can't be beat. I'm surprised no one has listed 'The Gratefull Dead'. I'm a Deadhead forever.

Bob Weir - guitar, vocals
Ron "Pigpen" McKernan - keyboards, harmonica, vocals, percussion
Phil Lesh - bass guitar, vocals
Bill Kreutzmann - drums

This one (1992-95):

Jerry Garcia - guitar, vocals
Bob Weir - guitar, vocals
Vince Welnick - keyboards, vocals
Phil Lesh - bass guitar, vocals
Bill Kreutzmann - drums
Mickey Hart - drums

Or somewhere in between?
