That was one of the toughest polls yet! I had to go Zep as band. Any other LP than Houses (my favourite Zep album) and I would have voted for Skynyrd.

Turning 60: A Day of Confusion? Uncertainty? Panic?
Syrinx replied to Principled Man's topic in Random Samples
Hey one advantage of being 60 is I saw Rush at Massey Hall and all of the 70's Maple Leaf Gardens shows! -
Happy 60th! I got you beat by 6 months.

Roger Daltrey calls the Stones a "mediocre pub band"
Syrinx replied to treeduck's topic in Music Of The Spheres
To my ears I don’t think they’ve sounded better. I think they always wanted to sound like old blues men and they finally arrived. I have always pictured Mick and Keith in their 80's touring smaller venues sitting on stools on stage and covering the old tunes. Like the old blues greats. -
Roger Daltrey calls the Stones a "mediocre pub band"
Syrinx replied to treeduck's topic in Music Of The Spheres
Depending on the meaning behind this statement, I think the Who were a far more versatile band than the Stones. They managed to go past blues and make some of the most interesting rock music ever. I would not say for that the Stones. By authentic I meant the current version of the Stones seems more like the original than the current version of the Who. Referring to bands that tour with very few original members. Don't get me wrong, I am a big Who fan. Quadrophenia is my favourite album of all time. The Stones are my favourite band of all time. The Who is top 5. -
Turning 60: A Day of Confusion? Uncertainty? Panic?
Syrinx replied to Principled Man's topic in Random Samples
I turned 60 this year. It is the first milestone birthday that I couldn't quite come to terms with. I mean 60??!! That was really really old to me at one time. I don't feel it, I don't act it and I hope I don't look it, but still. I guess you just have to come to terms with the fact you can't change it and the alternative to getting older isn't that great! Happy 60th! -
Maid is pretty good. Not something I would watch again, but the characters are interesting and gritty.

Roger Daltrey calls the Stones a "mediocre pub band"
Syrinx replied to treeduck's topic in Music Of The Spheres
It is probably just talking smack. Maybe they don't like the fact that the Stones are still going strong almost 60 years later (or at least what's left of them). I love the Who but they wouldn't sell out a stadium like the Stones right now. Somehow even if it is just Mick and Keith left from the original band, they just seem more "authentic". And as for them not sounding great in video clips....they are approaching 80! I hope I still have a percentage of that left when I am 80! -
Ha ha Happy Anniversary!

Syrinx replied to treeduck's topic in Music Of The Spheres
Sorry but a mediocre bar band would never reach the heights that the Stones have and / or have as long a career. They were all super successful. Not sure why they have to take shots at each other. Other than personal animosity. -
Both my kids did competitive swimming when they were younger. Those meets can make for a long day!

Yet Another Concert Tragedy - Houston, Texas
Syrinx replied to Principled Man's topic in Random Samples
Yep I went to a lot of general admission concerts back in the day. Never had a tragedy like this at any concert that I attended, but I am sure there was a lot of good luck involved. Worst concert situation I was in was the Alice Cooper riot at the CNE in Toronto back in the 70's. -
Hope you had a great one!

Wow have to read. I clicked on CTTE expecting I was voting for it!
