TOP 3 BOOMER: All music not just rock

(Well, there's first of all Boomer Sooner)

 

1. Stones

2. Paul Revere and Raiders (simply because I loved Mark Lindsey and wished he had been with a really hot band.  He was good to look at and had a great voice)

3. Too many--Allman Bros., Doobies, James Brown, Ike and Tina, Spinners, Animals, The Band, etc.  

Edited to give the Allman's their missing "l"!!!!!

 

Now?  Not much I care to listen to from recent pop music. Never was a country fan until lately and I'll listen to my Okies sometimes:


Blake

Garth

Carry

Reba

Toby

Lou Christie 'Lightning Strikes'.

 

Barbara Streisand 'Woman in Love'

 

Toni Braxton 'Unbreak My Heart'

 

Super Tramp 'Take The Long Way Home'  always makes me chuckle.

 

There are others that I'll think of later on.

 

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).

Back in the day I liked Bob Dylan, The Who, The Doors.

 

Today I mostly listen to classical music (which I also liked in the 60s) and opera (recordings, sadly, these Covid days).  

 

Dylan mentioned in a recent NY Times interview that he thought the Eagles's "Pretty Maids all in a Row" might be the best song ever--so I got the "Hotel California" CD  -- and it is a great song. The Eagles were great, too--but I hadn't remembered that song.  So many great songs, so little time.
