Soggy Cake is not a Tragedy, Pussycat.

Well, I have to tell you guys, not being able to read my friends' list from work sucks. It's a big friends list, and I don't want to dump anyone off it, but that means that if I sit down at the computer at home, whoops - there's my evening gone. - And I'm working on a couple of very time-consuming new projects, soooo...

Let's just say that if there ( Read more... )

music, humour, deep thoughts, blah blah blah, good times

I think you have become drunk on all this brain eating and have gone more insane than normal, my dear. Everyone knows that the height of awesome music was 1981-1985, long after those loathsome 70s that you're blithering about. Why, I just heard "Hungry Like The Wolf" and "Ocean Rain" in a restaraunt last night.

I'm right. You're wrong. So there. Nyah! :P

I love my bell-bottoms, and you can't stop me. :P

heh. I was just listening to Rock Me Amadeus on the drive in to work....80's music!

You want the MP3? I have it on my iPod from my huge install download. Don't know why I ever got it from the first place (probably Napster), but I skip through it every time it comes on. Can't stand it anymore.

"Tragedy" is a great song. The Bee-Gee's are a good band, and after 40+ years, have been around almost as long as the Stones. (The stones have never really impressed me much.) And if you do a Google search for songs Barry has written... OMG. (Although he did write that obnoxious song "Islands in the Stream" that Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers covered. One fluke in an otherwise stellar career. that song is like a dentist drill form me ( ... )

I must put in a good word for Gordon Lightfoot, as evil_fionn already knows: the song "Sundown" gets my husband laid more times than is worth counting! What can I say, I'm a cheap date!

I will be completely honest and quite cheddar-ish here and freely admit to absolutely loving John Denver back in the day! My only regret is that I never saw him in concert. I will also confess to being a raging James Taylor fan--this from a gal who usually likes her rock metallic or gothic!

I love, love, love 70's music. Pop, disco, ALL of it. We have a set of CDs called "Have a Nice Day" that have all that great stuff on it. Including one of MY all time favorites, The Cover of the Rolling Stone.

Paul McCartney puts on an amazing show, and you will be very happy you went. OTOH, I am insanely jealous that you will be seeing Elton John and Billy Joel together. I would give my eye teeth to see that one.

My first concert experiences were the Osmonds and Gilbert O'Sullivan.

Al Stewart. You missed Al Stewart, the thinking nerds' musician ;) Roads To Moscow can still give me chills.

Totally with you on Gordon Lightfoot--I really like most of his stuff. And I didn't/don't hate most of the others you mentioned either. As a child of the 70s with a husband who hates standard radio, my popular-music recognition mostly stopped in 1985 or thereabouts, and the 70s are indeed the music of my people. Though I don't and never did like disco, except to dance to.
