MR

Last month, my 20 year old daughter visited me and her sister, and she said....... "Mom, I need your help on this cd I have. It is old rock songs and I don't know who it is" At first she thought it might of been the Doors ( which one of their songs are on this compilation). So I said let me see it and I will figure out what it is. Needless to say it was a compilation of music I hadn't heard since I was a teenager ! I have no clue where she got it, but damn, those songs brought back some memories. I finally listened to it, and put names to the songs. The artists on this cd are....................

The Animals
Cream
Grass Roots
Guess Who
Iron Butterfly
Neil Young
Doors
Youngbloods

Now, both of my older kids were raised on Classic Rock, especially Journey, and other artists of that time. But when I listened to this......... I was quite surprised that she had it, and is interested in the music.

Anyway, I thought I would share, since I am listening to the music now.

Always liked "Midnight Confession" by the Grass Roots

Me, too. And I like Eric Burden and the Animals, too.

The song by the Grassroots on this cd is "Live For Today"

And I am listening to that epic Iron Butterfly tune............... "In The Godda Davida " !

Which ones? They may lock you up for posting those, CRL. They aren't boots.

Got 'em, but thanks anyway, CRL! I love Misunderstood. Probably because I am.

I'm always surprised when my youngest brothers are singing songs from when I was a kid or even earlier. My sisters aren't into classic Rock as much, but when you see your 22 and 17 year old brothers singing "your music" you get a smile on your face.

What scares me is my wife doesn't even know much classic rock. To her, music started in the '80's.

That reminded me of something my wife sent me just this morning...

I'm a HUGE fan of 80's music, but I listen to Classic Rock stations and they don't play much 80's music except for the standard CR band songs. my Parents didn't have us listening to classic Rock music growing up, we pretty much listened to whatever we liked, and that's what stuck. My Dad was a beach boys fan and we hear di ti ALL the frickin' time, maybe that's why I wasn't a huge fan of theirs later on.

Well, considering we're talking about classic rock, how the heck has nobody brought up Creedence Clearwater Revival? Not exactly my generation (I was born in 1970) but some kickass rock and roll! Put on "Chronicle" and find a bad song! That is a masterpiece of music! Nothing better than dropping the top on the convertible and bombing down the highway at 80mph (ahem...I mean 55mph) with "Fortunate Son" blasting in the background!

LOL, puts a smile on my face too when my 16 year old daughter starts singing along (in the car) to LTS or AWYWI at the top of her lungs too.

Sallee, what Guess Who song was it?

Quit whining. The Beach Boys would have been ok in our house. My mother liked Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Dean Martin, Johnny Mathis, & MORE Frank. I hated the chairman because of her. Later on, I sorta likes a few of his tunes. My Dad was cool though. He liked Sam Cooke, Otis Redding, & Johnny Cash. But then he also really got into my rock music. He LOVED Journey & thought Steve Perry's voice was the greatest thing he ever heard (did I say my Dad was a wise & smart man).

Most of the '60's is a littly foggy.

Have to say John.....one of the best concerts I've ever been to in awhile was John Fogerty and John Mellancamp, last year. What a great catalogue those 2 have.

Shit, Frank is all my brother wants to sing when he does Karaoke. In fact much of my family loves to sing Frank when I visit them, which is why I only go every few years anymore, to see them.

Love Otis and Sam, and I dig some of Johnny Cash's stuff too. But nothing beats Classic Rock in my book. Though, that 60's Soul/R&B is pretty close behind.

Our Classic Rock station is seriously stuck on Led Zep. I used to like Led Zep....
I think I'd crash if they played Journey.

(Love Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin!!! (well, some of there stuff is fun)

& Johnny Cash rules!!!!

Woody Allen said the definition of a close knit family is when they live very far away in another town & u only get to visit once in a while.

I never liked country, but Johnny Cash just was a class act. But Classic Rock is my thang. Altho I do like a lot of other 80s stuff. Hell I grew up on it.

The Iron Butterfly song is "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida." The original vinyl is staring me in the face... and yes, I do play it sometimes.

Oh I love "No Time" and "Misunderstood..." That's a good mix your daughter has there.

my family is in another country, so it's even better sometimes...

I don't care for much country either, just a select songs or artists. With all the crossover stuff anymore, it's getting confusing.

Rock & Roll will never die.

Thanks Jabber, for the correct spelling of the Iron Butterfly song. Now I can go into my music folder and put the title to the song !

Yeah, I always thought Perry could do an incredible rendition of that tune.
