YA!! I am a music lover!!!Are you?I mean the REAL stuff...................  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 98/100. celticeagle (15689)   ranked 64 out of 2,052 in music lover 3 years ago

I especially love classic rock and roll. I am talking old school. Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison and Ozzy Osbourne. Do any of you remember the Ozzyfests and are any of you old enough to remember what rock was like back in the mid 60's until the mid 90's? Past that it has been alittle hazy for me (Purple Haze). I am listening to Low Rider by War. There is a summer band to listen to. For this discussion can you oldsters out there tell me about just one song that you may hear that takes you back to better times or to the no care times of your youth. For me I like Otis Redding and his Setting On The Dock Of The Bay. Bring those grand old summers back to me. That and a real hard head banger like Mississippi Queen done by Ozzy or Jim Dandy by Black Oak Arkansas. I go back to the BOA concerts I always made sure I got to and the unmentionable experiences I had back in the 60's. I love to listen to Janis and Jimi and who can listen to better than a Doors CD on a warm summer night? Now there's living!!!! Oh,here comes ZZtop and I Thank YOU!!!! I used to wait until my mom went to the store or left for work and then I cranked up the radio or stereo(ya,that was what they were called back in the dark ages babes)and listened to such albums(yes, another archaic bit of jargin for ya)as The Rolling Stones - Her Majesties......what was the rest of that one's title.Or the Steve Miller Band. So, what song, album or preformer/s takes you back to those days of your youth? Not for the youngsters either, us oldsters please! Born to be Wild on now.'We can climb so high I never want to die........."

Not quite as old as you are, but my dad was always listening to oldies when I was growing up in the 80s. Nothing reminds me more of growing up and singing along with my dad than Boston. Any song off their first album, but favorites are Rock & Roll Band and Smokin.

I guess i am a real music lover..lol..I love all those artists! Ozzy has been my numero uno since I was a kid. I loved his Ultimate Sin album but I also loved Demon Alcohol and S.I.N. Janis Joplin was amazing with her Me and Bobby Magee and Mercedes Benz. I am also a huge fan of Patsy Cline although she isn't quite like the others. Great White's older stuff was good too. I liked Rock Me. That one takes me back..lol..I'm gonna throw one here..Aldo Nova..Fantasy Life..lol..


myLot reputation of 98/100. celticeagle (15689)   ranked 64 out of 2,052 in music lover  3 years ago

Ozzy is still as nutty as ever. You otta go to one of those free playlists online and bring up Janis's One Good Man. What a song! Great white is good. I was just watching a video of B.B.King and Eric Clapton doing Rock me. Great! I hadn't heard Aldo before but the video on YouTube was good. Thanks.

Hi celticeagle. I know what you mean when you say the REAL stuff. I love rock from the 60's, 70's, & 80's. My favorite band of all time is Led Zeppelin. So many of their songs remind me of when I was in high school and some of the crazy things we did!
I have older sisters, so most of the music I actually remember hearing in the 60's was stuff they liked from The Beatles through The Doors. My family went to California to visit my aunt, uncle, and cousin in 1968 and all my sisters and my cousin wanted to do was listen to Doors albums!
Since I mostly still listen to classic rock I keep realizing how much really great music there is from back in the day. Not long ago I got a Thin Lizzy CD. I'd never had any of their albums, but liked a lot of their songs. They really rock! I'm sure I'll get more of their music now.
There's so many more... where do I start? Pink Floyd, Eric Clapton, Fleetwood Mac, Rush... I could go on & on!


myLot reputation of 98/100. celticeagle (15689)   ranked 64 out of 2,052 in music lover  3 years ago

I think we must have been joined at birth and no one told us or something! I love Led Zepplin then comes AC/DC and then OZZY and Eric Clapton. And the list goes on and on. Everyone you mentioned and more and more all time.For me there a span where I lost track of all these grand bands and I am just now reconnecting. It is great!


myLot reputation of 98/100. celticeagle (15689)   ranked 64 out of 2,052 in music lover  3 years ago

All the ones you mentioned plus The Who. Love their Who Are You? Great! Thanks.

I like the music of older artists like Jimi Hendrix the doors and Joplin more than I like the music of today that's for sure. I always thought I was born in the decade to be landed with the music we get nowadays, all sounding the same with a load of artists who look exactly the same. I spend more time listening to old music than I do modern music, not all modern music is bad but most mainstream music is too commercial and formulaic for my liking.thumbdown

Good girl! Mainstream is a mess. The old stuff has class and depth.

I like Queenthumbupwub. My favorites songs of Queen are - bohemian raphsody(amazing lyrics), we will rock you, radio ga ga, another one bites the dust, killer queen, under pressure, crazy little thing called love, I want to break free, fat bottom girls. I still have other songs to hear. I think they are still the top selling album in England. Their songs will please people of all ages. People who love good lyrics and good music.thumbup


myLot reputation of 98/100. celticeagle (15689)   ranked 64 out of 2,052 in music lover  3 years ago

Yes, Bohemian Raphsody is marvelous. The lyrics are something aren't they? Another One Bites the Dust is an all time favorite of mine. Yes, I agree. They have something for everyone.

I also enjoy classic rock, especially Ozzy Osborne, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison and Jimi Hendrix. In fact Jimi Hendrix was a genious on the electric guitar, in that he could really make it sing so passionately. I especially love Led Zepplin's song Stairway to Heaven.


myLot reputation of 98/100. celticeagle (15689)   ranked 64 out of 2,052 in music lover  3 years ago

Yes, Jimi was a genius. And you can't think of Rock and think of OZZy. But also my fave Janis and I loved The Doors. Just definite sounds unique unto themselves.

Music is something that can bring alive every stone.I love music, i am not yet that old but music for me can never be old.Music is never torn out,It has been my favourite always i love the oldies and listen to their rare songs too i like kurt cobain, jim morrison, michael jackson, rasmus, seether etc i got a lot of them, but to pen them down will be difficult because they are many.


myLot reputation of 98/100. celticeagle (15689)   ranked 64 out of 2,052 in music lover  3 years ago

I agree. It is almost spiritual. And way too many to list. I find something new and enjoyable each time I am on YouTube.

Hey celtic! Oldster here! You named ALL my favs just about!
You left Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young for one that I can
think of! I just bought a bunch of CD before I went on vacation
so that I could listen to the in case I got bored! I bought
Doors, CSN, Pink Floyd, Janis, Led Zeppelin! All the ones
that I have the albums for that I can't listen to because I
don't have a turn table anymore! I also just bought "Woostock"!
I used to do the same thing as you, wait for my parents to
leave and crank up my stero! They would come home and hear
it and freak and also smell the weed burning and the incense
too! I would have a blast! So now I bought a new "boom box"
and crank up the same tunes, unfortunately minus the smoke!


myLot reputation of 98/100. celticeagle (15689)   ranked 64 out of 2,052 in music lover  3 years ago

Yes, like I think I have said before: Great minds think alike. I enjoy CSN but they never gripped me like the Leds, Guns and Ozzys did. Even Pink Floyd never really empressed that much.


myLot reputation of 98/100. celticeagle (15689)   ranked 64 out of 2,052 in music lover  3 years ago

I have the records too but them are so scratched I need to just get rid of them but can't part with them.


silver245 (56)   ranked 1,231 out of 2,052 in music lover  3 years ago

I've still got a lot of the old vinyl too, and no turntable either! CSN&Y are another one of my favorites that I forgot to mention, and Queen. I like some of the 70's progressive rock bands too, like Yes, Genesis... the early stuff especially, and Emerson, Lake & Palmer. David Bowie is great too! I'm glad I can listen to my music as loud as I want to now without someone yelling "Turn that down!!" lol!

Hi celti,

Music listening is my thing too.But sorry to say I have never loved Rock music nor pop except one or two numbers. And the name cited above are not known at all. Perhaps when they were on the cliff I was a little kid. lol

I specially like to listen to the English country song. And of course it would be a lie if I do not say I do not like soft Rock but very selective one.t
