You lost me with the sixties. Probably my most hated decade after the **&%%£!! fifties!
But I can offer this... |
:bowdown:It was my era though that is the thing, and my late mate Rosi and I enjoyed all the Concerts and Club Gigs We Travelled well and lived life in the fast lane, not for long though, would have only changed some of it, not much though. Rosi died young and my life nearly came to an end quite a while back as well, so I treasure living and music is my saviour whether its new or old, memories are good to share whatever ones views are, it is fine by me...We are not clones yet....
When I saw that video this morning, it set me right off into posting something about it. I thought some of was awful but you see through different eyes at different times.:wavey: p,s, That destruction song would not be something I would want to listen to ever again...protest songs hate them, for the way they are fed to you.... |
Sorry to hear about your friend. I too lost a dear friend, though in the eighties; never quite got over his loss. He was literally my best friend but the music he was into was not what I was at the time (Barry Manilow, ABBA etc) so we didn't have much in common music wise.
Protest songs aren't for everyone, but I think that one is particularly effective. I love how angry he gets singing it. How about some Dylan via Jimi? |
Devastated completely..we done almost everything together since infants school and she was very popular with people, at her funeral it was overflowed into the gardens and speakers outside so all could hear the service.
Moving on, like Jimmy Hendrix he is good of course but don't listen much at all these days and Dylan was good at the time, Rosi and I shared a Dylan LP once as we could not afford it really. I like most music and love some. To me finding something new to me and loving it, is my day made.... |
These days trying out new stuff everyday and ok still stuck with One Republic James Bay and a few others but more going into rock directions at the mo....still amazed I never got into Wishbone Ash until my mate Ash played some to me a few months ago..where was I when they started out..obviously on another planet....

I was 10 years old when You Really Got Me came out. I remember because I asked my mum to get me the single for my birthday.
Quote:
My sister, 5 years older than me, used to dress like that, and going back to the start, as you suggest, I remember afternoons when her friend would come over. The music might be Frank Ifield or The Beatles, but the scrapbooks they worked on were of Cliff Richards and Adam Faith. Me? Probably pushing my Matchbox cars around the table, but soaking it all up... Quote:

I basically talk about anything and often talk rubbish but really just joking about a lot. Had some very serious stuff go on in my life so prefer to act the fool a lot.... You need to just plain talk as I get lost with text talking mode. :wavey: Kinks, You really got me' just looked that up 1964 so I was about 16 then as born Sept 1948.My best mate now is Ash and he thinks he is old at 67 next month, but actually I do not feel old at all, have always done a lot of keep fit, all my life just about. A Love of music makes us different I reckon. |
Thanks for the info about the babies, Dianne!

Yes, I'm hoping that a love of music will keep us going longer than most. If only there was one piece of evidence to support the idea, but alas, no. :( @Trollheart: of course I was totally joking, Trollheart, though I always imagined that you would've liked the sixties stuff. I'm surprised/flattered that you should copy my "Born to be mild" tag. Did I miss you acknowledging the fact somewhere? I thought that as a courtesy on MB, we gave a shout-out when we followed up on another member's recommendation or other idea. Of course, it's easy enough to forget where we first heard a band name, etc, so I'm as guilty as the next person of failing to give credit : :shycouch: * ( * shycouch emoji first popularised by Trollheart) |
How odd. I was just thinking the same thing about you. I assumed you had copied me, but I wasn't saying anything about it.
Honestly, I only saw yours after I had chosen mine (I have another in use on another forum, "Nothing wicked this way comes" but thought this one suited better.) I just always imagined Steppenwolf singing "Born to be mi-hi-ild!" Also kind of a nod to STP on the whole "Born to Rune" thing in Unseen University. But no, I always saw yours as "still listening" and thought it weird that you seemed to change yours after I changed mine, though to be fair I wasn't looking and couldn't tell you how long you had yours. Anyway, it does suit me, as I was born to be mild, and you couldn't get milder. If you disagree, I'll smash your head in! :D |

_____________ Back on topic, and so back to the start, here's the very first song I ever heard in stereo: I was really small, maybe six years old, when an aunt brought a stereo gramophone to our house, set up the two boxes that were the speakers, and put on this single to demonstrate her newly acquired record player:- Recorded in mono I imagine, it was still fresh and startling enough to hold my attention for all of its one and a half minutes. |
I guess he was talented....never got into that style though...

I absolutely love the 50s and 60s, musicwise. I grew up listening to all kinds of music. I heard ever Beatles and Stones album before my teen years. My father was a record collector. So thanks to him I also heard stuff like Cliff Richard and The Shadows, Mike Berry, The Searchers, The Tremeloes, Dave Clark Five, The Kinks and The Yardbirds. I discovered this song in a stash of 45s (7" records) that my dad had stowed away in a shoe box. It's one of my favorites from that period, the late 60s. (So being of the late 60s this may or may not be a protest song. I'm not sure. If it is, then it is very subdued. imho) Thunderclap Newman - Something in the Air Jimmy McCulloch (young kid, star shirt, Gibson SG) also played guitar in Stone the Crows and in Paul McCartney's band, Wings. |
Chalk and cheese is an extremely well-known phrase, surprised you don't know it, unless you're being facetious. Never can tell with you.
It means two things that are completely different. Jazz and punk are chalk and cheese etc. |

Start a thread in sayings...
Don't keep a dog and bark yourself Don't count your chickens before they are hatched Don't cut off your nose to spite your face Don't put the cart before the Horse Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater Don't upset the apple cart miliions of them..... Chalk and Cheese is Opposites She is middle class I am working class My 1st Gig was Screaming Lord Sutch so Rosi and I hated it and we frightened I guess. Many more came along, Joe Brown dont remember the bruvvers then though. Stanley Halls and guess we were 14ish https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped..._-_1777075.jpg '68 recall but took to a different way of life and got married, so now living in a haze and dead broke, took on buying a house. We still would sing this anytime we are somewhere we don't want to be... |
Of course men and long hair was the thing then..pretty men..haha
https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...=278&crop=fill late 70's maybe....bellbottom jeans the fur carpet came from the magical Kennards in Croydon and got stolen in a burglary that was a turning point for us. Should be able to trace that time because Husband was working for a well known clock maker, Elliott Brothers located in Union Road Croydon...then they moved on to Hastings, that's when Rosi moved there.....we joined her in 2000, the year my Dad died and my Mother now hated me even more for that. As if I could care, to be honest. |
1970's
|
And let's not forget...
|
No of course, so many others missed out here, but was just in the car and the Bee Gees came on, now thinking of not just them but how I got into dancing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bee_Gees
first though, few weeks ago a mixed CD that I was playing and a Bee Gees song came on and I thought christ they sound rough as in squeaky rough, but still looking back they gave a lot of pleasure and inspiration to the music scene back then... 1976...do not remember them so much before that time got into too many nappies by 1969..yuk |
I bought the BeeGees first album on the strength of this song, and a radio recommendation from Tony Blackburn:
I think not just me, but the BeeGees themselves were confused about what kind of band they really wanted to be. |
Quote:
I got this CD by Cliff Richard called Something's goin' on...this song I Cannot Give You My Love written by Barry and Ashley Gibb ...with Cliff and Barry singing more femme music really...well I enjoy playing it occasionally.:wavey: |
Stairway to Heaven" is a song by the English rock band Led Zeppelin, released in late 1971. It was composed by the band's guitarist Jimmy Page and vocalist Robert Plant for their untitled fourth studio album (usually called Led Zeppelin IV). The song is often regarded as the most popular rock song of all time.
One of my favourite's at the time....cant miss this one out.... |
I enjoyed David Essex Concerts and the stage was all bells and whistles...
but the top of the Tree undoubtedly was/is The Who.... |
