I've got the record player cranked up and am listening to 37 year old classic rock

1. I used to have that album!!

Great tunes!! Unfortunately I got rid of it a few years ago, after getting rid of my turntable. I suppose I could pick it up on cd now.

:shrug:

[BOSSHOG]

2. We still have a whole bunch of records

Its nice to pull them out on occasion, especially The Sgt Pepper's I have in Monoraul.

[Gormy Cuss]

3. We had the Chicago songbook in my high school band

"25 or 6 to 4" was a great marching tune.

4. I love "25 or 6 to 4." Now I have an earworm!

:D

7. "Sitting Cross Legged on the Floor"

[madinmaryland]

9. Let me finish it for you...

Waiting for the break of day
Searching for something to say
Flashing lights against the sky
Giving up I close my eyes
Sitting cross-legged on the floor
25 or 6 to 4

Staring blindly into space
Getting up to splash my face
Wanting just to stay awake
Wondering how much I can take
Should I try to do some more
25 or 6 to 4

Feeling like I ought to sleep
Spinning room is sinking deep
Searching for something to say
Waiting for the break of day
25 or 6 to 4
25 or 6 to 4

:hi:

10. Awesome MIM

I'm a sophomore in High School again

[madinmaryland]

11. When did they come out with that song?

I liked their earlier work. The later stuff was too main stream and without life.

[BOSSHOG]

12. 1969

Yeah I and II were the best then they went tumbling downhill for the next 20 or so productions. I saw them live in 76; very high tech show for that era.

5. This thread is particularly entertaining next to the PS3 ones.

:)

[BOSSHOG]

6. When it comes to PS3

I am definitely Old School. Just give me Centipede on a gameboy and I'm set.

[Phillycat]

8. Tetris on the original Nintendo for me, please. :) nt

13. May I suggest some newer rock and roll to listen to?

Face The Promise by Bob Seger? Can I entice you? A little Wreck This Heart?

C'mon...I know a person who owned Live Bullet when I see one...

:)

[BOSSHOG]

15. Don't tell

but I got that for my wife for Christmas (okay for me too). But its gonna be on that new fangled cd thing. She's a Kid Rock Fan as well. Its so great that some of the guys who provided music for you to grow up with are still producing the good stuff.

I do respect her BUT!

[mtnester]

16. HAH..great closing line

And Live Bullet was out when I was 16 years old...fyi

On edit - we have it in vinyl still too...CRATES of stuff

One day we will convert it..but we WANT the pop and crack when the opening chord of TNT by AC/DC ends and then the drums come up

:)

[BOSSHOG]

17. Oh the pops and the cracks

make me long even more for the old stuff. Even when songs stopped halfway through so the 8-track could change tracks. Ya don't get shit like that with CD's.

[Richardo]

14. *sigh* Terry Kath gave that band its balls

Loved those first three albums.

Politically unafraid + kickass musicianship. A rare combination.
