Music groups you grew up with

[dukedogsmom]

I know a lot of us are going to be showing our ages on this :) I got to thinking how much fun I had talking about the old board games we all played. So, I thought I'd tell you some of my favorite bands/people I listened to going through school. I can't remember them all of course but some are still around! Here goes: Just copy and paste this list then add on to it.
1. Supertramp
2. Journey
3. Rick Springfield
4. ELO(Electric Light Orchestra)
5. Queen
6. Information Society(I think they came out the year I graduated)
7. Fleetwood Mac
8. Blondie
9. Seals and Crofts(this was when I was really young and my brothers listened to them)
10. Bread also
11. Blood Sweat and Tears
12. Prince(the great purple one)
13. Styx
14. Devo
I know there's more but I've gotten about all I can get. When I'm not listening to 93.3 Flz in Tampa or 106.7 in Orlando, I listen to 101.5 the Point in Tampa. They play a lot of songs from that time in my life.

[Kfamr]

1. Red Hot Chilli Peppers
2. Puff Daddy and The Family
3.No Limit
4.Nirvana
5.Metallica
6.NIN
7.Green Day




I could go on and on....

[babolaypo65]

Your list, plus later:
Duran Duran
Flock of Seagulls
Haircut 100
Soft Cell...

[Kfamr]

And EW I HATE 93.3flz!!!!

:mad: :mad: They called people up once saying they had dogs for adoption and if they didn't adopt them that they were going to shoot them. When the people said they couldn't adopt, they would play sounds of like a dog getting hurt with gun shots.:mad: :mad:

[dukedogsmom]

Now that is not cool. Big Mama gets on my nerves sometimes. He talks too much.

[Cincy'sMom]

Some of the first music groups/artists I remember are a bit embarrsing, but...

Dolly Parton
The Osmond's ( I LOVED Donny and Marie!)
Madonna
Michael Jackson
Cyndi Lauper
Tears for Fears

[primabella]

That's sick Kay :mad:

The songs I grew up with were No Doubt, Backstreet Boys (:p), Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, Our Lady Peace (during the 'Superman's Dead' time), Green Day, and a few more. I hate so many of these artists now, lol.

But nothing beat the "Dirty Dancing" soundtrack!! :D I still sing along when I hear the songs. Lol.

[dukedogsmom]

I used to watch Donny and Marie's show! And what about Sonny and Cher??

[primabella]

Oh yeah Michael Jackson too...I loved his cassette....I can't remember the name. The one with "It doesn't matter if your black or White" song on it.

[Cincy'sMom]

I don't really remember Sonny and Cher on TV...just what I have seen in clips on other shows. Donny and Marie were my favorites though...I even had Barbie-like dolls of them :)

The first MJ I had was Thriller (on record!)...back when he was black...."Black or White" was a little later, as his skin was fading to white :)

I think they're all stupid on that station. I prefer 97x and Wild 98.7.

[babolaypo65]

What about Tony Defranco?


"Heatbeat, it's a love beat..." He was a total Tiger Beat created phenomenon.

I had forgotten about Cindy Lauper!

I agree and since I've already given away my age on several occasions, you should already know that I grew up in the 60's and 70's and if I were to list all the groups I listened to it would be way too much reading.

I was even into Alice Cooper for awhile....

I am Still Waiting to see Johnzas'Response!!!!!!
Oh Randi!!
Wink,Wink...Nudge!!!Nudge!!

[jonza]

Ahhh, MUSIC!
I must thank the Good Lord for music and humor, for without them I would never have survived in this mad, illogical world. :D :D

My first memories of my “own” music was in the nineteen forties listening to old (even then!) 78’s on a wind up gramophone in the back garden. My favorites were ”The Sheik of Araby” and “Stardust”, probably by some long forgotten dance band.

After that, through the fifties, I “progressed” to New Orleans jazz: Kid Ory’s Creole Jazz Band and the like. (“Tiger Rag” - Wow! - now something’s happening!) From there it was a logical progression to Dixieland, Louis Armstrong and then Mainstream jazz: Johnny Hodges, Ruby Braff, Buck Clayton, Lester Young, Oscar Petersen, Art Tatum, Thelonius Monk, Chet Baker etc. etc. And a lot of the small combos from Duke Ellington or Count Basie or Benny Goodman. Not forgetting Billie Holiday of course.
Together with all this there was a liberal sprinkling of the blues: Muddy Waters, B. B. King, Robert Johnson, Big Bill Broonzy, John Lee Hooker, Memphis Slim, Elmore James, Leadbelly, Sonny Boy Williamson.

Then came the first great revelation - CHARLIE CHRISTIAN!! Surely the greatest electric guitarist ever. Benny Goodman with Teddy Wilson, Lionel Hampton and Charlie Christian are still for me brilliant examples of musical expression.
From there I wandered on into more modern jazz, but stopped when I’d got to Miles Davis and Charlie Parker.

From there, I side stepped over into Classical music, mostly Baroque and Chamber music: Bach, Vivaldi, Corelli, Albinoni, Tellemann, Händel and Mozart. All still favorites.

Then, like a bolt of lightning from a clear blue sky came the second great revelation - “The Beatles”!!! (“Rubber Soul” I think). This was my introduction to popular and rock music. (I wonder if it had anything to do with those funny smelling cigarettes?) You’ll all know the names that popped up from then on, mostly British groups but also a lot of (mostly West Coast) American stuff.

Where on earth can I start? This has to be a very short list, and I’m sure I’ve left out lots and lots of important ones. They are in no particular order.
The special favorites are marked with asterisks, but they were all great.

British:
John Mayall
Small Faces
Kinks
The Who
*** The Beatles
** The Rolling Stones
** Cream
** Eric Clapton
**** Pink Floyd
*** Led Zeppelin
*** Ten Years After
Jethro Tull
Procul Harem
Deep Purple
*** Van Morrison

American:
** Jefferson Airplane
** The Doors
* J. J. Cale
Doobie Brothers
** Jimi Hendrix
Lou Reed
Steve Miller
* Cosby, Stills, Nash & Young
** The Band
Ry Cooder
Eagles
Santana

I mustn’t miss out Bob Marley or Django Reinhardt either, and I love Cuban music and “Bachata” from The Dominican Republic.

I’m sure I’ve left out loads of great stuff, but there’s so much wonderful music on this planet that it’s very difficult to choose.

john

[delidog]

Yeah Johnza!!
I've been waiting to hear your interests...
of course,you reminded me...that I still have my Django vinyl collection....I spent a Long time putting it together many years ago.....
Talk about someone who taught the world how guitar is played....with his handicap.....one of my all time favorites...

You brought back so many memories,i also forgot to list John Cale and Lou Reed...Leonard Cohen...
I loved in the new "Kids" movie "Shrek...How they use John Cales' Tribute version of "Hallelulah" by L.Cohen....I'm not obsessed,Really!!!

Oh and the Jazz/blues....Could chat for hours on Thelonius Monk,Miles Davis,Ramsey Lewis,etc...you know the routine!!!

Anyway,This was a Fun thread...

Like you say,there are 3 priorities in my life :
Music,Animals and Humor!!!!

I think the neatest thing about it, has been that in just about eery post, there is one my "favorite" group or person I forgot about, no matter the age or country of the person.

I didn't really list favorites...just the first groups I remebered from way back. I couldn't list all my favorites...It would start with Glenn Miller, Louis aremstraong, Elaa Fitzgerald, and go right through the current Top 40....From Big Bands, to hard rock, the Hair Band of the 80's, Country, jazz, etc, etc, etc!!!

[moosmom]

I listened mostly to Peter, Paul & Mary (still do!!), the Monkees, John Denver, James Taylor, Grateful Dead, Chicago, Beach Boys, Jackson Brown, Carly Simon.

*yawn* yeah, yeah I know, elevator music. Hey, whatdaya want, I'm 50!!! I guess you could say I was a flowerchild (I drove a powder blue Volkswagen bug too!).

[delidog]

Moosmom,
Did the V.W. Have flower Stencils on it?!?!?!!?

;) :) :D

[delidog]

OOH!!Almost Forgot!!!!

Of those, I have John Denver, James Taylor, Grateful Dead, chicago and Carly Simon on CD...and I'm a few years younger...nothing wrong with your "likes" :)

[kohala]

Working OT until the end of the month, I thought of you all as one of my co-workers shared her CD collection with me. So many people and groups that have formed my being through their music, as so many of you have reminded me of little pieces I had forgotten. So glad to have those pieces back!

Anyway, Steph had some fun CD's - Opera Babes and Mediaevil Babes - loved 'em - then something that just delighted me - an all girl (woman) group in their 20's - "Bond". Classical musicians with an amazing spin. If you haven't heard 'em, check 'em out. I have been away from music too long - suddenly I am filling myself with it again!

Thanks so much for starting this thread!!!

[delidog]

so true
