Remember Night Flight?
Well, Handel was rocking the charts. Bach had a good reputation amongst fellow musicians but was stuck playing small Lutheran gigs for the most part. TG for Mendelssohn.
They did Goats Head Soup in ‘73.
Angie… Ahhayyyynjay…
LOL!! I wasn’t thinking about their DEAFNESS, I was thinking that their crappy music can’t HOLD UP for listening to decades later!
I like them all. I also like the swing band era pre WW2. But since the early 90s the big studios have taken more and more control. Add autotune and you now have the most insipid pop music ever. Rap doesn’t belong in any discussion of music. Rap is the home of the talentless criminal subculture.
Exactly!!!
I was in a band in the mid-late 70’s. Our bass player was always into everything way before anyone else.
He got us playing a few songs from this new band - Cheap Trick.
Then, they did that Budokan album and put our “Surrender”. We dropped them like a hot potato.
Same with The Cars.
These people have no idea what they are doing to their hearing.
At least I have an excuse, since I was in the military and have a 60% disability for hearing loss.
They are ruining their future hearing.
Invest in hearing aid stocks.....................
I worked with Mark Lindsay, who lived in that house with Terry and Terry’s girlfriend at the time - Candace Bergen.
Apparently, had Candy not broken up with Terry, they wouldn’t have moved out and leased it to Polanski and Tate.
He said that Charlie showed up to a few of their parties there.
Goats Head Soup was the start of the Stones’ decline.
They really only made one good album since Exile, and that was Some Girls.
Sure enough. The list I looked at yesterday said nothing in 73. Dang ol internet. Angie, arguably Watt’s best drumming, just for the incredible restraint.
She loves him, and they really tried, but it just isn't going to work out because they are different people. Throw in a repetitive singalong chorus that only requires you to vocalize (not actually sing lyrics), and you get a Youtube hit with 100 million views.
Gotta love that
60’s by a MILE.
70’s next.
80’s gave us TOO MUCH garbage like Bon Jovi.
I knew about the parties and the relationship with Candace Bergen from the book Chaos by Tom O'Neill.
It describes the incidents of that time in incredible detail.
Tom O'Neill goes on to describe a theory that Melcher was much more involved with Manson than he ever admitted. He (O'Neill) gives evidence of this theory, but I found myself somewhat less than completely convinced.
Thats the problem with these conversations, its apparent that many were listening to the worst offerings out there and judging history based on their bad taste at the time.
Ive often wondered over the years who listened to all those bad bands that neither I nor any of my friends listened to, and how there could have been enough of these people for these bands to win some sort of acclaim. When I see the lists of “best music” made by some of these posters I realize that it was apparently people studying to be Freepers.
I have discovered a few bands that I missed out on, when they were around.
One of them is the band “Lush”, I totally got hooked on them a few years ago. I had heard “For Love” before, as that was the closest thing to a “hit” they had.
A lot of that “not musically talented” “fun hair band stuff” was inspired by or directly ripped off from the classical music greats.
I say 80’s. That’s when Mozart was at his peak.
I listen big band era on Sirius in my car.
