Entre_Perpetuo Posted August 14, 2016 Author Share Posted August 14, 2016 These guys: 1. Led Zeppelin2. Black Sabbath3. Deep Purple4. ___________ Judas Priest.No they came a little too far after those bands and therefore belong to another group. Purple had 9 albums out by the time Priest got their debut going and they'd gone altogether by time their second one came out. And Sabbath and Zeppelin both had 5 albums out by 1974.Queen. That's the one.That's what I put if you look a few posts back...And I few posts before that!Before that you put a blank and you put Queen in after with a question mark. I put the sure and fast QUEEN comment in! I'm a the QUEEN king here, now get out of here boyo! :smoke: Except I'm the real king of Queen around here. :PAsk anyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rutlefan Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 The mid-'70s, spoken-of-in-hushed-tones-of-reverence, larger-than-life bands: 1. Led Zeppelin2.Pink Floyd3. Yes4. Rush I realize this betrays my Rush bias. Really, The Who would have been a better #4 (or #3 with Yes at #4), but I was/am a huge Rush fan, whereas I've always liked but never loved The Who. Bias aside, the list might have looked like: Led ZeppelinPink FloydThe WhoYes With Rush in their own category of one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rutlefan Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 ^ But all the bands in Re-Rushed list were part of the mid-sixties Mod scene, whereas Zeppelin came later. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnRogers Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 ^ But all the bands in Re-Rushed list were part of the mid-sixties Mod scene, whereas Zeppelin came later.I'm thinking of influence on the American FM rock radio scene so perhaps a different Big Four. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rutlefan Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 (edited) I thought after I posted, that if the list were of "The Big Four" then yours has the better argument. I had taken it as the four biggest bands that came out of the Brit Invasion of the mid-Sixties. Granted, The Kinks came to be more appreciated as time went on. Something Else... and Village Green were hardly noticed at the time of their release (The Kinks heyday as a red hot singles band had already passed, and they weren't well-supported by their American label by the time of Something Else...), but they're now recognized as classics. Along with The Beatles and The Stones, they're easily my favorite band of the '64 -'66 era, the era that arguably most transformed pop/rock music.

Rutlefan Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 The Big Four of "Drivers' Cars" (not the same as performance cars -- handling and dynamics vs power and speed): Lotus (always a good buy for the fun-loving masochist)Alfa Romeo (the recent return to RWD marks the return to essential "Alfa-ness")BMW (a bit over-rated since the mid-'00s, but before that every bit deserving of the reputation)Mazda (always have had a sporting nature to their cars, but their current line-up of suburban warriors is easily the best of the bunch for the soccer moms and dads who like to drive a genuine car, as opposed to a web-connected appliance) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rutlefan Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 The Big Four of Pony Cars MustangCamaroFirebirdChallenger My dad wasn't a car guy per se, but somehow he stumbled into a first gen AMC Javelin with the 390 engine. Bought it new. Dark green over black, it was a beautiful car. He gave it up when gas got expensive in the mid-'70s. Said that was the biggest mistake he'd ever made, car-wise. He always missed that car. Anyway, because of that, I've always had a soft spot for AMX's and 1st gen Javelins. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
