Buftex Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Though I really grew to hate them, Supertramp "Crime of the Century" is a great album...where I am, you never hear them on the radio. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their stuff is hard to get on youtube, just like Dylan and a few others but here is School.

Sometimes what they were turned on to made them expand their searches but who knows really. I was turned on to the Shocking Blue in a 1964 Falcon... earlier, Same with the Animals House of the rising son.... a Twin Fair parking lot actually.

I am not so sure about psych (not sure what you mean by that... I can read that with various twists) music. Big Rock Candy Mountain was singing about drifting. A hobo's dream. A folk song.

dpberr Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Falco. He was "huge" in Europe and had a string of decent hits in the United States (Der Kommissar, Rock Me Amadeus) in the mid 80s but I thought his best was Vienna Calling. The booze and drugs really snuffed out a lot of his potential and ultimately killed him. (Died in a car crash where he was loaded with booze and cocaine.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had "First and Last and Always" on vinyl way back when. Not sure how I stumbled into them, at the time I was listening to metal almost exclusively but I always thought that album was strong. I'll have to revisit to see if it stands the test of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldfield was just 19 when he composed this. Wonder if he's still around, I haven't looked. Mahavishnu Orchestra or Return to Forever would be other good ones if someone is looking for pure musicians... or even ELP or Yes if you want something with words.

707BillsFan Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 One more nobody will know, and sadly forgotten...Bay Area band of the year in the early 80's. Somehow they never got a big deal. The Bay loved them back in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not so sure about that. Most of the kids today are more concerned with Taylor Swift, rap/hip-hop, and the like. I haven't asked any of them if they know who the Sex Pistols are; they may have 'heard' of them just because of the unique name, but I doubt they could identify any of their music or know who Johhny Rotten (Lydon) is.
