    Ok, who are in your top 10? I’m just trying to get an idea of the kinds of music non Beatle fans like. Just curious..

    That's hard for me to do.

    If you asked me when I was 16(1978) it would have been: Kiss, Ted Nugent, Rush, Black Sabbath, Led Zep, Outlaws, ZZ TOP, Judas Priest, Ramones, Cars, Aerosmith, Van Halen, Plasmatics, AC/DC, Alice Cooper, Doobie Brothers, 

    In my 30's and 40's I began liking more of these bands: Megadeth, Suicidal Tendencies, Grateful Dead, CCR,  Meat Puppets, Little Feat, Peter Tosh, Early REM (first 4 albums), Blondie

    I love discovering older bands that I have not yet heard much. I do this all the time.  I have been catching up on old bluesman like BB and Freddie and Albert King, Elmore James, Robert Johnson, Son House, etc. I like a lot of that stuff.

    I'm also very fond of Hank Williams Jr. and a lot of other country and bluegrass music groups. I like Chris Stapleton and  Nickel Creek.

    I  like James Brown, Ohio Players,  and others of that genre.

    I'm also very indecisive, by nature. It depends on where I'm at in life. It depends on my mood that week, that day, that minute.

    But most of what I like has a common thread. Because I play the drums and the guitar. I like to hear a lot of that in the music. I also like distinctive and original sounding singers. And I don't like a lot of female singers. Don't know why. 

    I still listen to all the bands above. And I still enjoy discovering new bands, and old bands I've never heard before. [biggrin]

    They say timing is everything,  I believe that is true,  for many, the Fab Four were the first reason to smile and be happy in a long time, the rest is history as the saying goes. 

    I agree 

    I was born in 1962. My Parents did not listen to the Beatles.  And by the time I started getting into music, the Beatles were being played on “oldies” stations. 
     

    The Beatles never did much for me. I like a few of their songs. But they never were a favorite of mine. To this day I don’t own a single album.  I’ve heard just about everything they have done. I just never really liked it. 
     

    And yes I know I may be the only human on earth that feels this way.  But I wanted to just give my take. 
     

    Let the stoning begin. 🙂

    This is Spinner, my lovely tabby cat. I found him on the street (of he found me, I don't know exactly), but we've been together for several months already. He was very weak and had lots of fleas, and it took time to get rid of them. It also has to be noted that this is my first cat, so I had to figure out how to take care of him. Fortunately, there is a great number of helpful sources, and Pet express blog provided me with all the needed info. 

    Very cool looking cat! And nice job adopting him too.

    Hamish had to do the joke - This song is form 1974, anyone remember it? Crowd cheers, then he says, What was it like? Of course Bissonette gave him a drum roll after that for comedic affect.

    It’s a rim shot

    Not a drum roll

    Sorry. The drummer in me can’t let that go. 🙂

    There is a new sport here  - in Austin and in San Antonio - and I'm guessing in every major city -   called  JUGGING.   Jogging/Mugging.  They scope out someone making a large withdrawl at a bank or ATM, follow them  and when the victim stops - someone wearing a hoodie and Nikes jumps out of the following car, makes believe he's jogging and then mugs you.   I  guess it's just a spin off of robbing someone selling something off CraigsList.  Brave New World  !

    That’s not a sport, sport. 
    That’s a felony
