"Little Hand Says It's Time to Rock"
____________________________________________________
Ok so its been a while but consider that a good thing cause its more to talk about.
PANDORA has given me the variety I miss and the chance for me to pick exactly what I want. It also has reminded me of how fucking GOOD music can be and also how BAD at the same time. First of all, NO ONE makes GOOD album covers anymore. Look below and see why I have many of these album covers FRAMED on my wall upstairs. The artwork KILLS and NO ONE can match it today.
Back in the 70s there was REAL rock and CORPORATE rock. Corporate rock involved bands like Boston and the Eagles which was POP and Rock radio friendly so it got burned to a crisp. Now its just tired crap. Bands such as Heart, Rush, Pink Floyd and Bad Company were the driving around your car bands. AS far as metal, Sabbath and Zeppelin were pretty much it with KISS, but the late 70s had heavier bands like Deep Purple and Thin Lizzy and I know there are more, but these are more recognizable. I am probably missing a LOT of bands but hopefully you get what I am trying to point out. Just think if you were waxing your car, working on the transmission or driving around stoned, this was the music.
As far as GOOD and BAD music, without one the other can't exist. For every Lips Of An Angel (Hinder) there is a Pretender (Foo Fighters) to make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Think of one of your ALLTIME favorite songs and think why. It obviously reminds you of a time or place where something happened to etch it in your head. ONLY music can do that and I could tell you s story to go along with each and every song listed below and where it is etched in my life story. Some of my best times were sitting behind the control room while DJing late at night on KLSU cause that was the time when you would have total control of the music and one or two would call you to thank you for finding a song to make them feel good.

So the following list is SIMPLE and I will say it AGAIN there is NOTHING I MEAN NOTHING that compares to seeing a band LIVE. Just look below. Ok so lets ROCK. This is a collection of songs put together in chronological order which is EXTREMELY important from the fact that some of these are WAY AHEAD of their time. All together these tunes just flow into ONE collection of JAM. Just listen and I hate to blow my wad all now but once you get started you can't stop.
Some of these songs are timely for me that is why they are included but they all ROCK in their own way. SOME MORE THAN OTHERS. MOST OF THESE VIDEOS YOU REMEMBER AND some you might have never seen BUT for some (ex. ONE) they are still pieces of EXCELLENCE that will never be replicated.
The LIVE videos speak for themselves, so take what you want but I suggest watching them if you have never as these are just amazing...LIVE LIVE LIVE
Strap on your helmet cause you're goin in.
