Alice Cooper......”Love it to Death” had some very great music mixed with Alice’s shock rock. Saw them at Hoffheinz Pavillion in Houston. Took my high school sweetheart. She loved it....very theatrical

Alice Cooper. What a great choice. Kinda fell off around Welcome to my Nightmare album. Before that, everything was gold. They had a lot of talent.

Lost me after “School’s Out”. To me the music wasn’t as good and Alice took off on his ego trip. The band resented this and it suffered because of it. I still listen to “Love it to Death”. Zaps me back to a place in time. It’s what life is anyway.....an entire collection of memories and I can relive some of them through music. I’m sure lots of others do too.

100% agree. I put on a concert or album and it brings me back.

Mac, yes. Roy, never. 

If you never have, listen to The Traveling Wilberrys. It's Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, George Harrison, Roy Orbison, and that guy from Electric Light Orchestra. Really good music made right before Roy died.

You sir are a interesting individual 

[baddog]

I had The Four Tops “Reach Out” album. You know, the great sound of Motown. Man I’m getting old.

Been around a long time.   Loved rock in my youth, but liked a little country.   Lost rock, for the most part, in the mid 60’s (Yellow Submarine & the drug culture took over).   I could’ve listed more rock.  Liked Sam Cooke, Supremes, Elvis.   Could understand the words.  They sang, not screamed.   Liked a few songs with a catchy beat, like Hot Stuff & Sweet Home Alabama.  Actually, today’s country would’ve been classified rock in my youth.  Rarely listen to music now, unless it’s an oldies station, rock or country.   As with all generations, still remember my fascination that my Parents didn’t like the music I did.  Guess my son and daughter didn’t understand me not liking their music (see Net Cats list, lol).  Here’s one from my day that the words show how far we’ve gone (downhill imo, but I’m an old foggy).

I was actually working at KWIC 107.9 (108 the Rock!) in Beaumont around the time that one came out. Really good stuff.

Y’all remember the Mac Davis show in the 70’s? At the end of the show, he would take an idea for a song from an audience member and make it up on his guitar right then and there!

Yes back when tv was actually entertaining. I feel sorry for today’s young viewers. Lots of good entertainers back then. Roy Clark could play anything with a string stretched across it. His voice held him back. Lol

Youtube Roy Clark’s version of Malagueña. You won’t believe it, I promise.

Mine didn’t listen to much music, but when they did, it was Country.  I grew up with Eddie Arnold (Cattle Call I remember vividly).

What was the show that (maybe CBS?) had the guy with the goatee and he would lead a bunch of guys in a singalong. They'd put the words on the screen. Half the time it would be chants and stuff...That's what I remember my dad watching and he'd turn to me and say "that rock crap won't last, this is music" 😂
