You might not recognise the Recorder Player on the Left, thanks to his mingy beard, but once he starts singing it's a pretty cool realisation that ya gotta start somewhere on the long way to the top … (BTW to think I wasted those Recorder lessons back in the day!)

Great band, I along with a Uni mate went to the Opera House concert and got there early to watch Thin Lizzy doing their sound check, put on a great show. Live & Dangerous has to be one of the best live albums of all time.

What I find amazing is people mentioning Ramones, at that time I sort of never heard of them and now don't see anything special in them at all

They were instrumental in Punk starting after they played in England.
I would have thought you'd like lyrics like " Beat on the brat with a baseball bat" rather than "love, love me do".

I was never really into punk nor understood it's rationale - I was too old basically. It was supposed to be a protest or reaction against rock well I loved rock. I disapprove how music divides people for the sake of it such as punk, hip hop ,rap, grunge.

It’s funny how music has changed in regards to how frequently bands put out new music. For example The Doors between 67 and 71 put out 6 albums. I can name bands around today that have been around 20 years and don’t have that many albums.

Rampant drug abuse sped up the creative process.

Care to elaborate as to how grunge divides people? It's mostly an inclusive style of music with depths of lyrics few other genres can match. Particularly Soundgarden and AIC.

Bang on Doc, some people don't understand grunge. Case in point, when Chris Cornell died the amount of people coming out saying "I love Soundgarden, can't believe he killed himself."

Really, with songs like "the day I tried to live," you really couldn't extrapolate from that the bloke struggled with life in general?
 
got to rush away but one example, was it rap music that come out of Black America prison and grinding daily life of poverty etc.. I can understand this.

But when imported to Australia for example it was taken up by one of nephews who came from the perfect rich middle class family. It is not meant for nor understood by the wider Australian audience except for maybe Aborigines who do suffer discrimination and deprivation. So it was only really for rap community in Oz so was self-serving. Due it's boring music it turns ordinary people off. Whereas songs like the Kinks Apeman and Lola were great musically and would/could appeal to all audiences and greatly help promote a cause and change the world. Whereas rap could not change much if it does not reach a wide audience.

Saw Black Sabbath live in the mid seventies, I think Slade (noddy holder) was on the same bill. Great time for live music, lived in Balmain at the time and plenty of pubs had live music every weekend

If it was in Sydney it was either Buffalo or AC/DC as supports - was at the Hordern Pavilion in 1974\. Slade toured with, Lindisfarne, Status Quo and Caravan - all on the same bill at Randwick Racecourse in 1973 and came back in 74 to play as the headline act at the Hordern Pavilion - don't know who supported them.

Your right saw slade at Randwick with Status Quo….and Black Sabeth at the Horden (use to get free tickets to the Horden knew a bloke who did their advertising)
 
Personally my favs of that era were Neil Young and Bob Dylan, but really enjoyed The Stones,Slade,Pink Floyd,Black Sabeth, Doors,Who,Jeffro Tull and Tom Petty.
 
I can never decide who I like best.
Depends on your mood at the time of listening and what you have consumed :wink:.
I think the ones that continually produced hit after hit were:
\
\
1\. The Beatles
2\. The Rolling Stones
3\. The Doors
4\. Creedence Clearwater Revival
5\. The Kinks
6\. The Animals
7\. Led Zepplin
8\. Bob Dylan

These guys hardly ever wrote a bad song or album.

So many others that had 1 or 2 decent albums with some average ones mixed in. Or only produced a small amount due to breakups, deaths etc.
 
Loved this album at the time

Well it depends what era Ramones you listen to or watch. For the first 3 albums when Tommy was in the band they were sensational. After that it slid away and by the late 80s they weren't great. Still good but not great. Too obsessed with playing faster.

Check out the 1977 CBGB concert. It's awesome.
