My all time greats

[DaveM]

For me I always found that Cat Stevens had a sound that has never been equaled and this must be one of his all time best videos

Always love and still do, Cat Stevens. I was chatting to a school-years friend the other day - we always chat but haven't actually seen each other for 30+ years - the nicest thing he said to me was "And I'll always remember you like a child girl" - if only he could see me now!

Love Pink Floyd too. From waaay back, Santana, Rare Earth, the Doobie Bros, the Eagles, Bachman Turner Overdrive, Rodriguez and the list is tooooooooo long!

 

[CarlS]

I used to like Cat Stevens until he converted and became anti-military.

 

[DaveM]

It's all about the music Carl

Another one I like is this one but I don't much like the rest of his stuff

[Gromit]

This is one of the most poignant songs in my book

[DaveM]

I suppose when it comes to Bob Seger you can give me any one of his

[video=youtube;s43FpUG9uxQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s43FpUG9uxQ[/video]

I suppose if I hate to choose just one of his it would be this one

[devo]

the first 45 I ever owned,
thrashed to death on an old HMV with a ceramic needle and a leadhead nail taped to the rear of the tonearm as a counterweight

[DaveM]

Harry I remember this one and it's been years since I have heard it, COOL

 

[Gromit]

Badfinger = good memories! How about Led Zeppelin - Whole Lotta Love!!!

 

[Sketchy Snr]

Here is a couple of my all time great musicians.

[video=youtube_share;xwGL5LDb4u8]http://youtu.be/xwGL5LDb4u8[/video]

Dave, I really liked Bob Segar and think his music just gets better with age too.

 

[Gromit]

Clapton and Mayall - what a combination! You guys are taking me down some of the memory-lanes

 

[DaveM]

Yes it would seem that Bob does get better with age

 

[hemibee]

The first 45 I bought and still about my favorite...

[DaveM]

Ah yes those old 45 then the tape came out what modern technology that was

 

[Gromit]

Not just tape Dave, but 8 TRACK tapes!

There are some seriously coooool songs posted here!

 

[DaveM]

Now compare a 8 track tape to an iPod

 

[The Seeker]

It is actually too bad that vinyl records were replaced by CDs and digital MP3s. The vinyl records possessed deeper quality and vividness that is lost in digital recordings.

 

[DaveM]

I never had a good quality record player so I don't know

 

[The Seeker]

I love comparing original versions of songs with updated covers of the same song. Although I might like the newer cover versions, I'm of the mind that the original is always the best because the original artist had the idea in the first place.

For example.....Open My Eyes by Nazz circa 1968:

The Bangles about 30 years later:
