Music: Re: [Classic_Rock_Forever] ON THIS DAY

Or perhaps you Canucks just like the whackier artistes and bands........same with me in reverse. I just can't get into Alice Cooper and his ilk and I've tried many times. The rock theatre image turns me off the music I think, but I respect the guy and often listen to his radio programme here in the UK on Planet Rock (Digital Audio Band). I grew up with the 60's psychedelic sound and moved on into the 70's progressive era and as I got older matured on heavy 80's bands. The 90's I just backtracked the previous 30 years and saw more classic rock concerts then and the 00's than I had ever done before

Points to Ian for not changing his name to Jethro Bodein along the
way...a'la Mr. Furnier ;)

I wish I liked Tull more than I do. I've tried alot over the years. I'm
aware of M. Barre's contributions and they are very accomplished gaggle of
musicians in any incarnation I've heard.
Must be more of a taste thing going on with me. Proggier music perhaps goes
over my head, or maybe in more Canucky terms 'deeks' me.
