deepblue Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Maybe its because im getting older, but these songs from my youth are becoming more and more special as time passes. My teen years started in 1976, and thats when like most kids, I started to listen and to search for music that spoke to me. Now all these years later when a song such as "More then a feeling" by Boston comes on it really takes me back. My word, how the time has flown! To quote Boston.... "So many people have come and gone, their faces fade as the years go by"...Never a truer statement. Gentleman...heres to our youth! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolff Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I think us that guys who are now around 45-50 years old had the good fortune to be born during the ultimate music period. I remember seeing The Beatles on TV and now I'm a big fan of SlipKnoT - and all that great stuff in between. The late 60's blues-rock, the 70's classic and hard rock, the punk era, post-punk(one of my fave eras of music), and right on up thru today's guitar driven metal. I have favorite bands in all of these various music periods. ...about the band Boston. I happened to pick up a copy of the remastered 1st album a few months ago and it gave me the 'pop shivers'.

Bluemoon Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 +1 :) I really miss albums. I remember the joy of bringing home a new album, putting the record on the turntable, lying in bed and reading the liner notes and drolling over the artwork. Back them, I would listen to the album all the way through. It has been many years since I've done that. There was so much more thought put into the songs on the album and the order of those songs. This thread makes me want to cry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

:oilpit: Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I really miss albums. I wasn't around when records were the only means of listening to a new album, but I have like 200 records that I listen to all the time, and I'm just a young-un I love the crackly sound:d/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they had way more depth to the sound than a CD or mp3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littlekenny Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 man, I'm growing up in the wrong time period. From all of the stories about the 70's-80's I hear from my dad and uncles, it must have been amazing to grow up then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepblue Posted October 8, 2008 Author Share Posted October 8, 2008 As much as I hated Disco at the time, id welcome it back with open arms over hip hop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolff Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Yeah, Disco is the lesser of the 2 evils. Hilarious how so many bands had to have their 'disco tune' like the Stones with 'Miss You' >_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookieman15061 Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 ...about the band Boston. I happened to pick up a copy of the remastered 1st album a few months ago and it gave me the 'pop shivers'. and it's amazing when you know that every vocal on that album (lead and backing harmonies) was sung by lead singer Brad Delp.

MikeRom Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I seriouisly don't miss LP's at all. Album art yes as it was freakin' awesome but dinking with the LP's themselves yeah, don't miss it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluemoon Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Records didn't bother me. Cassette tapes were the worst. Remember how difficult it was to find the song you wanted to hear. Man, they sucked. And they would always get caught up guts of the car stereo. I can't tell you how many mangled cassette tapes I chucked out the window of my car leaving a trail of brown tape blowing across the street.

jefleppard Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 to have been a teen when elvis turned the world on its ear, tapped out and let the beatles in for the finisher would have been the greatest time ever. the cultural storm and loss of innocence up til 1970 when the bar closed and everyone went home, as it were, was emormous.

saturn Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I grew up mostly in the 80's, but prefered music from the late 50's, 60's and 70's. I did like a lot of early 80's metal but with a few exceptions didn't care for most of the 80's pop music. Many of my peers thought I was wierd listening to old Traffic, Cream or other bands they knew nothing about. Now that music sounds sounds less dated than Ah- Ha or Cajagoogoo or whatever other wierd music that was supposed to be so "cutting edge" in the 80's.
