Basically, I'm saying he didn't become big until he modernized his sound so I don't think Bob Dylan is a good example of baby boomers listening to music before their time (idk why Bob was used in the first place as an example, I guess someone thought his roots qualified him as an artist before the baby boomer generation )

I thought you were the person who brought up Dylan? At any rate, I think you may be missing my point. I'm just responding to the notion that retro music movements are somehow an invention of the time we're living in. I don't feel that this is the case. The example I've been using is the folk revival of the 60s which, even though the term "retro" wasn't in use at the time, was definitely a retro movement.

Has anyone ever listened to Captain Beyond's first album? Its one of the best hard rock records from the seventies and hardly anyone has ever heard of it. Captain Beyond featured former members of Deep Purple, Iron Butterfly, and Johnny Winter's group. If you haven't heard it, you should check it out. They are the unknown seventies supergroup. Sadly they only released one album with their original lineup, but its a good one.

Ahh ... what a great album. When I first bought the cd it didn't leave my car stereo for months. Steve Marriott was seriously one of the best singers in all of rock. Its funny that Humble Pie is probably best known for the fact that Peter Frampton was once a member, even though their best album doesn't feature him at all. Marriott was the true star of the band.

"Don't want war, no
Don't give me preachin'
Don't want love
No fancy teachin'
All I want's
Sweet peace and time
Wake up my mind"

I never thought "Smokin" to be one of their best albums, I may well dig it out now and give it another listen.

Agree about the point with Frampton, as when I mention the band people normally throw the name of Frampton back to me. I think Steve Marriot stole the show in that band,
