Andee 220524 Report post Posted August 25, 2010 As a "classic rocker", some of my friends are amazed that I am actually going down to Super-Ex with some girlfriends to see Abbamania tomorrow nite (with Bee Gees and Tina Turner tribute band in tow). So, yes I admit when I was rocking to Peter Frampton and Black Sabbath and Kiss, I also snuck the odd listen to those "other" bands. Here's one of my favourites: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest o*****a*****r Report post Posted August 25, 2010 Good question... Abba was one of those bands after living in Europe, that wasn't cool to admit listening to until "Does Your Mother Know" hit the North American Charts... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9o1DlaQw8Rc LMAO!!! Way too funny now IMHO. Then when I got older and into "louder/heavier" bands I would never admit to absolutely LOVING this band: Thank Gawd for the anonymity of this board :-D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevecurious 42059 Report post Posted August 25, 2010 ...of mine would have to be the Stevie Nicks era Fleetwood Mac. Not at all hard rocking or even musically challenging as was the original Fleetwood Mac but still a great listen! and here are a couple of examples to back up my choice.

Annessa 22743 Report post Posted August 25, 2010 I spent my Canada Day hanging out, drinking wine and watching Michael Jackson's "this is it" such a (not so) closet fan for MJ....Man in The Mirror, Liberian Girl....anything off the BAD album.... When I was a grade-schooler I was huge into Boys II Men...still revisit them every so often because I still think they're one of the best acca-pella groups out there and I think they really started that train among the younger listeners. I absolutely love the band Wide Mouth Mason....somewhat 90's Canadian Blues....I wish they went further. I really love David Usher too.....even those my friend cringe at his stuff. whatever, I like his stuff x 10 I was dragged to a Backstreet Boys concert.....but thats coz my girlfriend had no one to go with....we had nosebleed seats........I went just to say I went....even then, no one believed I would dare go, lol...hey, free ticket, whatever. I told my parents I was sleeping over at my friends house when I was going to a rave after, haha Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NotchJohnson 214119 Report post Posted August 25, 2010 80's music was the best...it had a meaning. Not to say that today's music isn't good but IMHO many songs today just don't cut it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Old Dog 179138 Report post Posted August 26, 2010 I think I do have the entire shame of the board bearing down on me.... My high school crush loved to dance. I loved to watch her dance. I was intoxicated by her beauty.... but more than any of that... I got a woody that could hammer railroad spikes through concrete every time I laid eyes on her. She said "(insert my name here), you know what??? I want to go to a concert and dance my ass off." The year was 1979. So... I saw the concert listing. My buddy and I went to BASS ticket agency and got 4 seats for Maple Leaf Gardens... and saw.... .... nuff said. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
longslowlicks 330 Report post Posted August 26, 2010 When I was younger, we actually had a neat little band. We used to just play covers. We'd cover from the Eagles, to CCR, David Bowie, Queen, Aerosmith (Hmm, I wonder if I can find an SP that'll indulge in some "Love in an elevator"...). We reunited about a year ago at a class reunion. It was a blast, and even though my voice is not what it once was, we still rocked the house. But the kicker was when we broke out the Rockband instruments to start the show. Seeing some of my bandmates never played it and well, let's just say it was a rather large bucket of fail. But my guilty pleasure... The B52's. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
omehgosh 736 Report post Posted August 26, 2010 When I was much younger, and much, much cooler than I am now I was all about the hard-rock - Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Alice in Chains... I would never have admitted to enjoying Tom Jones... Now though, I can say it without fear of being disavowed by any of my peers - Tom Jones rocks! Arguably one of the best popular male-vocalists of all time! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
