I'm gonna post the music that I like just for fun, and I think this site is filled with guys who went to High School in the 70s and 80s so there taste may be similar...so feel free to contribute.

There is another music thread filled with this dance/remix/electronic shit that just doesn't cut it with people with good taste.

So we'll start with the biggest rock n roll band of all time...

As an EDM artist that made me a little sad. I like this song though.

Good songs, time for something more monumental. A song neither Bob Dylan nor John Lennon could get enough of.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

That song goes way back to when I was a teenager. Great song that the man in black began his great career. One of my favourite song of his, How high is the water Momma, 5 feet. high and rising.

The GOAT Rock Song...if America gives up on democracy this is what it can look forward to.

I believe this is appropriate for the rock section.

Bo Diddley! And how about the ladies!! (especially the one on guitar...)

More Bo is a must

Wow. Amazing. I saw Ronnie Hawkins back in the day at the Crang Plaza Jane and Wilson Ave. when I was a teenager. He sang HEY BO DIDDLEY. That got me hooked.

this particular song Crakin Up is one of my alltime favs........its too short so i listen to it 3 or4 times in a row, when im in the mood

 

[xmontrealer]

How 'bout this at 7:40...

 

[eddie kerr]

Aw shucks...

Song was written and recorded by Buddy Holly and the Crickets, my first rock and roll hero as a teenager. He wrote the song using his first and middle names, Charles Hardin. I recall going to high school wearing my dark rimmed eye glasses and my Buddy Holly hair style with a curly q on my forehead. That's when i had hair. LOL.
