ExiledInIllinois Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 (edited) Damn! How do you top this guilty pleasure (1992): Sophie B. it cranking out 15 million views, all to the bitter end no doubt! Gugny... If you ain't cranking it, you're spanking it... Which you are probably doing (both) anyway! You can thank me later @ the Tennessee game! EDIT: The treat of the video and Sophie B. , you weirdos! ?

Not a band we hear about much anymore, good choice. I can ask a dozen people and nearly 10 will say they never heard of Montrose.. Ronny Montrose and Sammy Hagar!!!

Rico Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 (edited) 3 hours ago, Happy Gilmore said: 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. You can say that about anything from the 60’s and 70’s, or even later. I’m sure there are kids who know nothing about the Beatles either. I think though that most any kid who has an interest in rock and rock history would have at least heard of the Sex Pistols. I can’t consider them as being obscure, especially compared to the other acts mentioned in this thread. You can’t write the history of music without them.

DrW Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 (edited) Elastica, one great album (the eponymous "Elastica") of catchy alt/rock/pop. They had a second album ("The Menace") several years later, which was far inferior. Here a live version of "Waking Up" with Damon Albarn (Blur, Gorillaz) having his fun on the keyboards.

row_33 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I half-heard Girls Just Wanna Have Fun the other day at brunch and instantly recaptured the whole song and video without thinking about it for 30 or so years. i had never concluded it was a ska influenced tune until this week.

T&C Posted September 2, 2018 Author Share Posted September 2, 2018 I first heard them in my cousins room in East Amherst in 1973-4 on the King Biscuit Flower Hour... had me hooked ever since. Her and Michelle Phillips are my rock goddesses lol. I know they toured last year... from what I know Annie is a breast cancer survivor.

WotAGuy Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 If you lived in Buffalo in the late 70s/early 80s, the Toronto rock stations were a good listen and played stuff not heard on the Buffalo stations, like Canadian Kim Mitchell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stopped by a yard sale last Saturday... lady had some albums so I'm going through them and came upon a copy. But, there was no vinyl inside, just the cover... bummer. I have a copy but I'll always grab good stuff for a buck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
