Foghat, Slade, Status Quo, Nazareth, George Harrison, Monty Python, I keep telling my own kids and the kids I teach that there will never be a decade quite like the 70's - a time for real musical innovation, creativity, and originality. Even though they all made rock 'n' roll, they all sounded different and you could tell who was who from the first few notes of a song. Most of tod

The first Stones single I bought was Jumpin' Jack Flash. First Stones album I ever had was one my mom bought for me (must have found it in a clearance bin) Now, which I really hated because I thought they sounded like hillbillies. The first album of theirs that I bought was Between the Buttons, which turned me onto the Stones for life!

I found this picture that I have never seen before of Keith, and just in case some of you haven't I thought I'd post it. The caption under the picture says "Keith Richards in the locker room of the gym of Georgia Southern College. Taken prior to the The Rolling Stones performance there on May 4, 1965. Photo by Kevin Delaney with a 110 Kodak Instamatic."

I totally agree with you Bluz. The stuff on the list and the order means nothing. The only interest to me is the background of the songs plus seeing the videos. Other than that, it is basically tripe.

Ran across this website that apparently is compiling a list of the best songs ever (I did a search and did not find this website listed in the forum). The Stones have two songs in the top one hundred: 24 with Satisfaction and 54 with Paint It Black. I think someone has been stuffing the ballot box because number 5 is The Ballad of Jane by the L.A. Guns, although to me this list is just for fun,

Hey Sleepy! Miley Cyrus is the daughter of Billy Ray Cyrus (Achey Breaky Heart). She is trmendously popular with the teen crowd, has her own show on the Disney Channel, and sells out concerts like you wouldn't believe. My kids watch her show and although they enjoy it, I can't stand it. I'd rather spend a week on a deserted island with a bag of lint than listen to her sing!

The other day, out of sheer boredom, I was reflecting upon how my taste in music evolved over the years. I don't recall ever having an interest in music until I saw the Beatles on Ed Sullivan. Then it was like a switch turned on in my brain. So here, to alleviate any one else's sheer boredom, is my journey from the Beatles to the Stones. *Beatles stimulated interest in rock '

A bunch of interesting comments and opinions. To me, rock began waning during the disco craze of the late 70's. Many people, particularly young kids that hadn't really made a bond with any kind of music yet, attached themselves to disco. Another thing is that many bands that were strong in the 70's didn't transition well into the 80's (the 80's are what I think of

If this has been discussed before, I apologize. Sometimes we need to hear an album a couple of times before we get into it. I was wondering about Stones albums that you simply couldn't stand at first listen, only to end up loving it.

With all due respect to whoever happens to like the music of today's bands, to me they simply can't hold a candle to the originality of the late 60's/early 70's. So much of the current music scene is a poor rehashing of what came down years ago. I can play a guitar and strum chords and call myself a musician (which is what these current cats are), but the classic rock musicia

I totally agree with all the bashing of MTV - it has become a pure wasteland of trash. It is no longer "cutting edge" - that takes too much hard work! I simply flip right past it and go to the Food Channel and watch someone bake a cake. As for Britney, it's too bad to see someone go so far downhill and put on a performance like she did last night.

Yes Rocky - I remember it well, and it was exactly as you described. I waited and waited to see the Stones on the telethon and ended up seeing the clip of "Start Me Up".

Just wondered if anyone knew whether the boys have hit the studio anytime during the tour. That might be asking just a bit much of them, but I always hope for the best!

I totally agree, JF. There is no substance to any of the music from most of the current "rock" bands. There is no interplay between the instruments - everyone seems to be banging away on the same chord and always on the same beat. It always sounds like they came in the studio with one idea and just made a few variations to stretch it out to make an album. There definitely is very li
