HemiBeers Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Invisible Airwave mentioned Dave Mathews and I'd go along with that. He gets a bad rap for appealing to drunk middle aged women, but he and his band have some good chops. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 I haven’t listened to them since Busted Stuff but I have to list Dave Matthews Band because Beauford is one of the best drummers alive.I took me forever to get into Dave Matthews, mainly because of the vocals (a RUSH fan complaining about vocals, lol). But like you say, the drumming is amazing, as is the all-around musicianship in general. Really good lyrics, too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gets a bad rap for appealing to drunk middle aged women, but he and his band have some good chops. RIP Leroi Moore. He had some nice sax solos. Best Of What’s Around, So Right and Jimi Thing are his best. Love that bridge on Lie In Our Graves as well. Also, Luther College with Tim Reynolds is a great live album.

Entre_Perpetuo Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Oh I almost forgot: Coldplay Screw the haters, they're one of the greatest bands of the 21st century. Songwriting geniuses with beautiful arrangements. If you gave me the choice to listen to either them or Radiohead for the rest of my life I probably wouldn't choose Radiohead. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhyta Posted July 14, 2020 Author Share Posted July 14, 2020 I don’t know if they’d laugh, or not, but I love all of that great 1960s music backed by The Wrecking Crew... Sonny & Cher The Monkees The Mamas and The Papas The Partridge Family The 5th Dimension Neil Diamond The Carpenters Glen Campbell ...and on and on and on. I read the book about the Wrecking Crew a few years ago, it was wild that Glen Campbell started as a session player and I loved Carol playing bass, the lone female among the bunch. Lots of hits that we enjoyed but didn't know the musicians who played them. Kind of a rarity today, it's a given that most bands play their own instruments. :D 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhyta Posted July 14, 2020 Author Share Posted July 14, 2020 When I was growing up, and younger, around the time I started listening to music, the artists, bands, and groups were: Shaun Cassidy, the Bay City Rollers, KC and the Sunshine Band, Village People, Earth, Wind & Fire, Boney M, Bee Gees, Olivia Newton-John, Captain & Tennille, Kenny Rogers, the Carpenters, and ABBA. From that list, I listen to ABBA the most. A good selection, Earth Wind and Fire were going to be in concert this summer with Santana.... :clap: :( Cancelled of course.. :| I remember trying to get a haircut like Toni Tennille, it was actually pretty nice looking (I know I can hear you all :laughing yellow guy:) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhyta Posted July 14, 2020 Author Share Posted July 14, 2020 Richard Marx is awesome and loves to tweet! I'm going to say I like some classic country/borderline rock like Eddie Rabbit, Charlie Daniels (RIP), Kenny Rogers (that's all I can think of right now). Also Pop music and Yacht Rock. I love listening to Yacht Rock radio on Sirius XM.I've never heard of Yacht rock. Is it like Jimmy Buffett? :musicnote: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
