While I agree with SQ to a certain degree, 80's music IS cool. Particularly like Bon Jovi, but am into a bunch of other stuff (Some Phil Collins, Def Leppard, etc.).

80's music is great , when it comes on the radio thats cool.

But lately I'm into Radiohead , Leonard Cohen, GNR , and the Moody Blues (in search of the Lost Chord).

Give me a Fleetwood Mac tune anyday.

Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham are the greatest

Most of the '80s music that I loved rarely got played on the radio or the video stations. Husker Du, The Jesus & Mary Chain, the Pixies, the Replacements, et al.

Saw them at Proctor's Theatre in Albany a few years ago. Good show, but when they went into "The Story In Your Eyes," the two guitarists almost fell off the stage while doing the solo.

Classic stuff from a good band.

We saw the Moody Blues at the Fox in St. Louis in the early 90's and they were great. Best concert we ever saw was about a month before when we saw 'Yes' during their Reunion Tour. All members that were ever in the band. Two guitarists, two drummers, two keyboardists, etc.

This will date me but my all time best goes back into the late 60's and 70's:

1. King Crimson - (Robert Fripp has got to be the best guitarist ever) They are still making music and touring.
2. Jethro Tull
3. Yes
4. Emerson, Lake, and Palmer
5. John McLaughlin and the Mahavishnu Orchestra
6. Zepplein
7. Hendrix
8. Stevie Ray
9. Traffic/Blind Faith/Winwood/Clapton
10. Moody's

Derek, feeling gay?

Go to Boston....they can help you.

Saw the Moody Blues in person in an outdoor concert at the community college here - grat band, but funny how you guys a calling them a great 80's band....I always think of them as a great 60's band!

Tuesday Afternnon, Question, Nights in White Satin...great stuff.

I saw Tull a couple of times - unbelievaable live band - that flute player was amazing.

Dan · 10-11-2004, 09:19 PM

Tom,

Yes, I agree the late 60's to the 70's Bands were great. But then again I guess I'm getting old. The first seven albums of the Moody Blues are classics. Their later stuff was like old guys trying to rock and roll.

One of the best Jethro Tull albums besides Aqualung was an album called 'Benefit'.

Check out some 80's/90's King Crimson albums like 'Three of a Perfect Pair' and 'Discipline'. Unbelievable.

Isn't it going to be interesting when we get into our 60's or 70's (years of age). Like our parent's generation were always playing Glen Miller, Nat King Cole, Sinatra, which are all great.

But in my old age I'll have Hendrix, Zepplein, Crimson, Tull, Yes, ELP, the Stones, Skynrd, etc. cranked up on the old stereo as I shuffle around the house with my walker.
