I said Iron Maiden plays devil music, which they do. All 'hard rock' is devil music. And if it ain't devil music, its drug music.

I heard the exact same thing from my Dad when I was a teenager in the late 60's and early 70's. We liked to sneak and listen to Steppenwolf, 3-Dog Night, Credence Clearwater Revival, etc. and Dad would nearly become apoplectic over it. He called it devil noise. If he caught us we ended up listening to Tennessee Ernie Ford for hours and watching Heehaw ad nauseum. We couldn't understand much of what was said in the Rock but found out later when we were older. I think we were just trying to be like our friends so we listened to rock when we could.

Now I feel the same way about Rap. That has to be the lowest IQ noise of all time.

Steppenwolf = Devil/Drug hybrid.

3-Dog Night = Good clean fun.

Credence Clearwater Revival = Better good clean fun.

(had all albums of those three. Didn't like Steppenwolf that much, but my hippy aunt turned me onto it. It was amongst my first music, just like the other two).

p.s. Your Daddy was a smart man.

p.p.s. I agree on rap with a C, but strangely, I like some of it. I am eclectic. If it sounds good, I like it. And I'll go all the way down to polka if I have to. And NEVER succumb to peer pressure.

Which is why I always hated Led Zepellin and Peter Frampton when they were the thing to do. My friends thought I was bizarre. How could I not like Peter Frampton.

Really?

Get a job, hippy. Hahahaha.

Yes, except it isn't "music"....just noise.

Unlike "rap" your 70's music required musicians playing musical instruments....and singing.

Hiphop is created with drum machines and stolen bits of music tracks by "DJs" who couldn't carry a tune in a bucket.
