OT: Quick RRHOF Yes or No - 70's rock bands...
- Thread starter MtNittany
- Start date
The boro 1700 sq ft homes were reasonable, split it with 1 n GF. If they stay in LA (homes are 1 mil n up) we’re gonna help them get a “winter” place, prob mammoth they’ve been there since Saturday enjoying the dumpage
After reading through the rest of this thread, I am really surprised at how much love Supertramp gets. To me they are just Breakfast in America pop blah. I must be missing something.
Absolutely nothing wrong with Yacht Rock and I like some of it but there's a great big wide world of music out there to enjoy.
And despite the claims made on here by some, there is some very good music being done today and the really great thing is it's so easy to find. This isn't the radio wasteland that Penn State was, circa 1982.
This is Harold Baines and Frankie Frisch’s cronies in Cooperstown levels of not worthy
Guitar Man and the solo by Larry Knechtel of the Wrecking Crew is a classic, though. Knechtel was amazing - did the gorgeous piano piece for Bridge Over Troubled Water, the bass on most of the Doors’ debut and on the Byrds Mr. Tambourine Man, etc.You are the one who that has the hardon for Sherly not me. But yes I would listen to anything from her before America and Bread (except for Horse with no Name) and well frankly she gets points for not doing that godawful Baby I'ma Want you. Please.
As an aside, a musician that really rankles this old man is Lana Del Rey. Her cover of Sublime’s Doin’ Time is a travesty. Louie Dog is not your dog, for one!
Sublime music is not for Brooklyn hipster bars

No, Bend needs @laKavosiey-st lion parking his *** in the middle of some uber scone and grilled abalone neighborhood to put a little scare into them. Give him one week and the number of PEACE AND HARMONY NOW yard signs will double.
Opening a "Pitchforks R Us" store in Bend would be a killer financial move.
It is interesting that a whole generation of bands seemed to have been "black-balled" by the RRHOF.
Like who? I mean I'm shocked that ELP and Tull aren't in but then there are some really good 80's alternative bands not in as well.
If you enjoy anything about a group like supertramp you wouldn't appreciate my music. Nit1300 said it well, but 'edge' isn't even far enough. For example, I consider The Clash to be 'easy listening'. And that's the first two albums...pure sell outs after that. London Calling makes me sick. They had such potential...
Oh man I love the Clash and London Calling. It was around Combat Rock that I thought was ehhh. I love their Solo endeavors though and even before The Clash...Sigue, Sigue Sputnik.
Oh and a shout out to another band I like Nitzer Ebb.
I have a wide taste in music.
I’d make an argument that Bauhaus was first in a whole genre…Oh man I love the Clash and London Calling. It was around Combat Rock that I thought was ehhh. I love their Solo endeavors though and even before The Clash...Sigue, Sigue Sputnik.

Wish Sonic Youth and XTC could displace some acts currently enshrined.

I saw Peter Murphy at a dive bar called Max's in fells point way back in the early 90's. Every now and then Robyn Hitchcock would show up. I think he was living in DC or Annapolis at the time.

It was a in the late 80's to mid 90's then it was taken over by someone else and turned into a bright 20 beers on tap kind of frat bar.
Lance Armstrong had a whole other set of issues.Lance Armstrong found something unloveable.
For what it's worth, as a verrry old person, I love Styxx, three dog night, Reo and Super tramp (take the long way home, my fav)
Was it called Max’s on Broadway? Ah, the late 80’s were an interesting time down there. My PSU girlfriend lived in Canton in 1988-90 range.
My preference was for small acts at The Horse (You Came In On) and the Cat’s Eye.
And good taste.I have a wide taste in music.
So you turned me on to Sturgill Simpson (aka Johnny Blue Skies) and the Turnpike Troubadours.
Any other indie artists I should know about?
They went kind of mainstream but are back to being an indie band with the next album but I'm a huge Death Cab for Cutie fan.
Loved your thought about ELO!
Graduated HS in '75. The whole decade lives with me to this day!
Thinking back, my favorite groups/bands were The Eagles, McCartney and Wings, ELO, and Fleetwood Mac!
Also, would like to throw in 60's/70's favorites The Grass Roots and 3 Dog Night!
