Part of it may be nothing more than a small difference in age. I think we all tend to like what imprints on us in our teens. 7th grade for me was Kennedy getting killed immediately followed by the Beatles exploding on the scene with the rest of the English invasion. Surf and folk music didn’t stand a chance. By high school I was way more interested in Byrds, Buffalo Springfield, Doors, Jefferson Airplane, CCR, Mamas & the Papas, just a lot of stuff other than what the Beatles were cranking out. Beatles early material I still like, their later music disappoints.
I liked all that too
FM progressive rock at the time.....soft spoken DJs
We had WJDX 102.9 The Rock
All the Dj’s had single name nicks
Sergio
Perez
Adcock
My favorite Byrd’s was the power rock double album Untitled
Lover of the Bayou ...great rendition
Many bands had phases
Fleetwood Mac had 3 pronounced ones
Early Peter Green dominated.....quite good...maybe best musically
Danny Kirwan Bob Welch Christine McVie ....my favorite.....again the high school timeline for me
And the the last epoch with huge commercial success but my least favorite
Pink Floyd same thing with 2-3 eras
Sid Era
David era
Waters and the Wall era
I’m imprinted 67-75 pretty much
Btw A and I went and saw Richard Thompson at Franklin Theatre tonight
Black Vincent brought a tear....
He’s a master
I listened to all my fav JA tunes last week driving
Jorma is underappreciated and a very humble nice guy
I cannot lie I like the long piano intro version of Volunteers
Dated as hell yippie ode to irrelevant naïveté but I love how it moves
