Re: And Then There Was Some Of My Favorite Rock
I've mourned the apparent death of analog rock 'n' roll for quite some time. I do, however, recognize the artistry of certain pop songs and artists in modern times, but for the most part there's not an easy transition from the music I've loved for the past ~30 years to today's "hits".
So when one of my favorite 90s/00s bands released their latest single, I was surprised to discover that it primarily showed up on the pop and "alternative" stations. It's not representative of the group's "classic" period but I think it demonstrates a smart, nuanced evolution in sound while refusing to abandon what brung 'em.

Re: And Then There Was Some Of My Favorite Rock
I too lament the days of seminal rock and roll. Not a fan at all of the synthesized rock so popular today. Here's a nearly 40 year old classic from a Texas music icon, recorded last year at a live concert. Fans of Texas music will recognize some of the all-star band members. Real, honest rock and roll.

Cope sent an email to me recommending this song and I'm glad he did. I know nothing about Pink or her music but if it's all similar to this, I just might give a listen to her at some future date. Thanks Cope for the suggestion.

Re: And Then There Was Some Of My Favorite Rock
If you like 1970's classic rock that is performed with guitars, drums, thoughtful lyrics, and a whole lot of zeal - and you have 17 minutes to kill - you might want to watch / listen to this live recording of Thin Lizzy from 1976 on a show called Midnight Special.

Re: And Then There Was Some Of My Favorite Rock
Snuffy, your musical tastes is eclectic across multiple genres, according to recent posts.
You and I would get along well, I think . . . .
The wife and I saw Tesla, REO Speedwagon and Def Leppard in '16
followed by Joan Jett, Cheap Trick and Heart a month later.
We saw G n R in '91 shortly after our HS graduation. At the horse track, in the mud.
Lousy day (long story) and a lousy show . . .

A different version, the original I believe.

Re: And Then There Was Some Of My Favorite Rock
I consider this the authoritative performance of this underrated classic. Clapton's guitar and Winwood's Leslie-drenched organ on top of a Ric Grech and Ginger Baker foundation create something special, truly greater than the sum of its parts. I love the remastered/extended version of this record so much.

I saw Fleetwood Mac at their reunion at the Classic West concert at Dodger Stadium in 2017. Excellent show!
Here's a pic of Clapton from his show in LA, also in 2017.

Re: And Then There Was Some Of My Favorite Rock
I'm a fan of Simon & Garfunkel. I like their song "America," it's a classic that isn't appreciated enough even by S&G fans.
But I'll be honest. The English prog rock band Yes stole the song away from them and made it their own.
I love this studio recording best of all:

Re: And Then There Was Some Of My Favorite Rock
I went through a "progressive rock" phase in college and listened to a lot of Yes, Rush, Jethro Tull, Boston, Genesis, etc. That was when I *knew* I was smarter and more sophisticated than all the plebeians around me...
Eventually, I came back to Earth and went back to my roots:

As an aging 80's metalhead guitar player, I've always liked the technical "shredder" players from purely a fan's point of view. This girl won the award for the best female guitarist of 2019. Now, before anybody gets offended, she's just having fun with a Michael Jackson song & is wearing zombie makeup like the Thriller video ... she literally didn't miss a single note in this whole song - she is the real deal & her technique is stellar. Seeing these elite players make it look so easy makes me want to sell all my guitar gear and take up gardening ...
