I gotta add Stones too. Zep was later but they are the band of my heart. ❤
Why did this post upside down? 🤔
@ChippySuave
@ChippySuave @celticsfanaticentomologist
Off topic oddity - looked upside down in Tusky then posted correctly. I mentioned before that I am OLD... 😁
@Sheree That happens to me, too.. mine look sideways, I back out, edit the pic just a hair to force it to be right side up. LOL I didn't know it would correct itself. @celticsfanaticentomologist
@ChippySuave Beatles & Doors. Yeah, I'm OLD!
@ChippySuave Another music question - what dorky band did you love, but had to hide from your friends to avoid being mocked off the planet? (or was this just me?)
Mine was THE COWSILLS!
@Sheree That's a great question! But, I don't have one. If I didn't have the musician friends I had growing up, I could have said Bobby Vinton (my Dad's fave) or the broadway show tunes, or The Clancy Brothers. None of those were popular mainstream. But I had friends that listened to everything. Nothing was without merit.
@Sheree @ChippySuave
The Monkees. 😂
@Lynne_Gee
Oh yes! Last Train to Clarksville! And the TV show...
@Sheree Yes. But I was nine, cut me some slack.
(Apparently it wasn't cool at nine, but by 12 it was great).

@DachshundSaidSo @ChippySuave
I wanted to be in that family.
@Sheree pretty sure that show accounts for at least some of my bad taste in fashion.
@ChippySuave
Dan Fogelberg probably. I listened to a wide variety and didn’t much care what people thought back then 😂 I was so punk 😂😂
I was as comfortable with listening to Willie Nelson as I was the Dead Kennedy’s or Duran Duran
@ChippySuave Aerosmith - Toys in the Attic was the first rock album I bought.
@ChippySuave Who's Next
I think I was 13.
@ChippySuave
Beatles, ZZ Top, AC/DC, Joe Satriani.
@ChippySuave The Beatles and The Kinks (My Dad's record collection, basically).
@stueytheround @ChippySuave yeah... the kinks...
@ChippySuave Being from Liverpool & with parents who used to go to The Cavern, it had to be The Beatles (I later made my parents really proud by playing there myself). My Dad loved The Who & Kinks (still does, actually), my Mum The Stones so it was them. But Sweet were the first band I paid real attention to. I begged them to use my birthday money when this was on Top of the Pops, so by default this became the first single I ever bought.
Sweet - The Sixteens

Elvis, from my parents, hence the Avatar Then glam as a small kid. T-Rex, Gary Glitter (we didn't know! 🙃 ) Suzy Quatro, Bowie, Sweet
@killingfloorman Are you sure we're not brothers? I still love Gary Glitter's music, shame he's a twat.
My Dad's always fancied Suzi Quatro (and to this day is the 'famous person he'd be allowed to shag' lol). We met her together after seeing her with The Rubettes & Alvin Stardust. Saw her backstage and my Mum had to convince him to get a kiss from her! My Dad's an ex-policeman, big fella, hard as hell but turned into a blushing schoolboy that night 😆
@ChippySuave
@BillyBones @ChippySuave @killingfloorman Gary Glitter's recorded sound was actually rather unique for the doubling of guitar and sax.
@gshevlin It really was. I'm sure the drums had at least some influence on Adam Ant a few years later.
I saw The Glitter Band (without GG) in the 80's and they sounded exactly the same. It's a shame about him though, because his frontman act was every bit as important as the music imo. Now it's really frowned upon to listen to him (for obvious reasons), except - it seems - in the States.
@gshevlin @ChippySuave @BillyBones didn't he use 2 drummers as well?
@killingfloorman @BillyBones @ChippySuave Yep. "Rock'n'Roll Parts 1 and 2" was 2 sides of a single edited down from a 15+ minute jam session.
@gshevlin I never knew that snippet! 😲
@ChippySuave @killingfloorman
@BillyBones @ChippySuave @gshevlin neither did I. Thanks 👍
@ChippySuave @BillyBones @killingfloorman It was also one of the original "sleeper" singles. I remember Part 2 (the instumental edit) slowly getting airplay over a period of months. Part 1 was hardly ever played.
@BillyBones @ChippySuave i somehow forgot to put Slade in there. Shame on me
@killingfloorman That does it. I'm claiming you as my long-lost bro 👍

@ChippySuave
@killingfloorman My question about Gary Glitter and other rockers who do this.. why do they think it is sexy to wear a shirt with a V-neck that reaches their navel? 😂 @BillyBones
@ChippySuave It drove all women wild back then. Apparently 🤣
@BillyBones @ChippySuave The first music I ever bought...a bootleg 8-track tape of James Taylor's 'Sweet Baby James'.
@celticsfanaticentomologist I didn't know there WERE bootleg 8 tracks! 😲
@ChippySuave
@BillyBones @ChippySuave yup. They always find ways.
The Beatles and Led Zepplin, for me. When I was in HS, I had a book of lyrics from every song the Beatles had written. Hearing Zepplin the first time was like being struck with lightning - they had already broken up and I felt so cheated to have missed their hay day.
Elvis, Buddy Holly, Johnny Cash, The Who, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Kansas, the Eagles, the Beatles, Foreigner,
... there were so many...
But those were some my family listened to and my intro... from there I went my own way... got into punk first.
@Museek How did you find this post from 10 months ago? LOL
@ChippySuave i didn’t even notice. Lol
Amaroq makes me poke around unless people are posting at the moment I’m online. I just follow my nose and end up wherever. Lol it’s fairly random.
Beatles, Beach Boys, and Queen -- all of whom were favorites of my parents.
(First albums I bought for myself were Prince, Purple Rain and The GoGo's debut album. )
@ChippySuave Beatles, Stones, and Zep.
