I used to zone out to Aqualung and Minstrel in the Gallery. A friend saw Jethro Tull years ago and said they were terrible.
Some bands can still perform later in life (Stones, Pink Floyd), some can't.
My parents loved Nat, Jim Reeves, the popular country singers of their day like Patsy Cline and George Jones.Strange the memories that music brings out.
When I was young, like 6 or 7, my Dad loved Nat King Cole. Use to play his music often and I came to appreciate his incredible voice.
Now when I hear one of his songs it always reminds me of my Dad.
I can’t remember that far back
Yeah, The Beatles had a whole lot of them, supposedly, on the Paul is dead theme. Another one was Revolution #9 where playing it backwards, you heard “turn me on dead man.” LOL.Not 100% sure
. I think Strawberry fields Forever..

They had an automatic RCA Victrola turntable that you could put about 5 albums on and they'd drop. So I fell asleep listening to those artists.

I never saw the Eagles live, but I was really impressed by a live recording of Seven Bridges Road.
I love musicOh yeah, my dad loved country singers. And I can't tell you how many damn episodes of Hee Haw I saw. And hated.
I love music
. Except country music and rap
.. My play lists have everything else..
Mine was "Secret Agent Man" by Johnny Rivers in 1966
My first single was "Where did our love go" by the Supremes, which my older sister gave me in 1964 when she bought the lp. I spent those years pouring ever her singles collection.
Got my mom to buy me a copy of "Like a Rolling Stone" in '65.
I liked disco... And classicalI don't like country or rap either. There are limited exceptions - I've gone to see Willie Nelson. I'm also not crazy about jazz. I hated disco, and I don't love classical because I love lyrics. I guess my tastes are pretty limited, lol.
Watched an interview with Robert Plant a few years back with Dan Rather.The Thick as a Brick concert was fantastic.
Yeah, don't write off the old timers too fast. They are entertainers and they're aware of the situation.
My biggest concern is that they stick to the hits and you don't get to hear some their more obscure stuff.

.
Motown too.
Of course classic rock..

Never been a country fan either. And was never a disco fan.I don't like country or rap either. There are limited exceptions - I've gone to see Willie Nelson. I'm also not crazy about jazz. I hated disco, and I don't love classical because I love lyrics. I guess my tastes are pretty limited, lol.

Like some jazz and some classical but in limited amounts.
Pretty much a classic rock and blues fan.
Plant had the best, most recognizable rock and roll voice, ever.. But yeah, I'm sure as he got older, his voice declined..Watched an interview with Robert Plant a few years back with Dan Rather.
Rather asked him why Zeppelin never did a reunion tour like so many of the big 70s band did.
And Plant told him they had promoters offering them ungodly amounts of money to do it.
Plant said, speaking for himself, that he could not now sing the songs the same way he did when he was 20 years old and for him he felt that would be cheating fans and dishonoring the music so he declined.
Guess I have to give him some credit for passing on the money.
My son came to visit me a few months ago and one night we were watching the old The Equalizer movie with Denzel Washington.

And the old Gladys Knight and the Pips song came on, Midnight Train to Georgia.
He liked it so much he had to go to Spotify and download it.
It is a good song but I had to laugh at him.
my parents actually had the White Album before I bought it. They were monster Beatles fansFirst 45 rpm?
The Guess Who - American Woman in 1970
And my first album was the Beatles White Album.
And on the reverse side my son likes Staind, and Disturbed, and Breaking Benjamin and I have come to like some their music.My daughter, before ever hearing them, used to say The Beatles and Led Zeppelin were stupid - just because I liked them, I'm sure. She changed her opinions pretty rapidly.
