Breakfast with the Beatles... Bee Gees (WTF?)/ Peter Frampton Edition

[Glamrock]

Good Morning Good Morning

1. Proof the 70s were a ....

Horror story?

[Glamrock]

2. No way man!

'68-'77 is the ultimate time period in music for me. Mick Taylor Era Stones, Humble Pie, The Faces, Zeppelin, Sly n Family, Funkadelic, Parliament, James! It definately beat the shit out of the 90's with the constant repetition of Eddie Vedder and Curt Cobain wannabe singers.

I actually dig this. My WTF is the Bee Gees, who barring a tune or two, I can't stomach, doing a credible version of one of my favorite bands with Peter fucking Frampton who was in my top three favorite bands. Crazy.

3. I guess I'm a little younger than you...

And my knowledge of the 70s is partly from my uncle's rantings about rock dying.

Didn't the Beatles break up in 1972, and wasn't the pop music pretty nauseating after that? What was that number one song, Tie a Yellow Ribbon around the Old Oak Tree? And then there was disco. LOL

I was a kid in the 80s, but I go back and listen to older music and love the 50s and 60 rock. And the 80s and 90s. But the 70s music sounds sad to me. My sister and I both pretend to vomit when we hear disco. Or country. LOL



But to each their own.

4. Dude! You need to dig deeper than fucking disco!

If you dig rock n roll. For instance, tell me this ain't sick...

Open up man, metric fuck tons of great music in that time period. That's just the rock n roll stuff I thought of first. That was the grand age of funk too.

Hope you dig some of it...

[TrunKated]

6. well those are all better than...

Disco and the likes of Tony Orlando and Dawn. Much better.

I'll give you that.

So they all seem to have a kind of... bluesy soud?

I guess I just like a cleaner, more energetic rock sound.

But, again, your examples blow disco and 70s pop away.

[Glamrock]

8. Like I said, if you dig rock n roll or funk, it was the golden age.

Yes, the record companies were pushing lite rock, blech.... And disco (although, as I've got older, I'm beginning to dig some of that. Some of it had a direct connection to funk though. Like Kool n the Gangs Jungle Boogie for instance)

Do some digging. Some of the greatest music ever written. Just my opinion. And, for the record, it was before my time too. Still my favorite era.

[TrunKated]

10. that's what it is...

... I don't like the funk sound.

[Ohiogal]

5. I have always thought that era was the best

And not just cause I grew up on it .... Yes there was disco, but we basically wrote disco off and ignored it for the most part. There was LOTS of other great stuff coming out of that era.

"It definately beat the shit out of the 90's with the constant repetition of Eddie Vedder and Curt Cobain wannabe singers."

Listen to Uncle Glammy, everyone ....

[Glamrock]

7. Uncle Glammy?

[TrunKated]

9. huh?

Well, I loved the 90s. The Pixies, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, the Peppers, Green Day, REM, Blink182. Powerful and energetic. Those were my teen years so there is to that, but I love 50s rock with Buddy Holly and Chuck Berry, the 60s with the Stones, Beatles, and even the Monkees, the 80s with the Eurythmics, U2, Talking Heads, Ramones, Altered Images, The Cars, New Order, and so much more.

Funny my uncle is over 60 and even he loves some of the same 90s music I do. And of course, my sis loves a lot of the bands I do, but she'll add her lesbian singers.

She also likes to find songs that drive people insane and troll people with O-zone and Psy. LOL

[Glamrock]

11. I dug stuff from the 90's too

Don't get me wrong....

[Ohiogal]

12. Some good 90s stuff out there, of course

But overall I think more of the rock from the late 60s-late 70s

You just can't write off an entire decade altogether ....I think we can all agree on that.

13. Brotha....I love you

But that's a steaming pile of horseshit. ....missed you bro!
