Fudgepacker or not, Elton John was a rocker in the early 70's. John Denver and Cat Stevens were what the pantywaists were all about.
Ding, ding, ding. I kept waiting for you to answer. I'll have to check my Beatles Recordings book, but the "White Album" is actually titled "The Beatles", these are the only words on the album's plain white sleeve. I can't recall if they officially released it with this title. I'll check when I get home.
Ahh the good ol days of when the Crawfish festival used to actually be fun to go to. Now that they put everything in the park it's not near as cool. IMO. It's still a good time, I just really liked the old days better when there was a band on a flat bed every other block. The people selling beer out of Jo boats proped on saw horses. Oh the days. Hatch we've probably bumped into each other at one point in time and didn't even know it.
My musical tastes differ from what I have read so far.....so here goes 1. Depeche Mode - Violator 2. New Order - Substance 3. The Smiths - Meat Is Murder 4. Better Than Ezra - How Does Your Garden Grow? 5. James Brown - The Millennium Collection For the most part, the bands I like were innovators. Depeche Mode showed that synthesizers were more than just noise makers and songs were more important than instrumentation. New Order were among the first to show that just because a song fills the dancefloor does not mean it's shallow and meaningless drivel. The Smiths...where would Britpop be without them? BTE showed some balls and experimentation on this one...IMO the peak of thier creativity...everything since sounds a bit too cliched and sold out to the adult contemporary listeners.. Where would any rap or R&B artist be today without "The Hardest Working Man In Showbusiness"?? There is a reason his music was so sampled by early rap artists....because he did it first and he did it the best. Not a fan of rap...but I do love James!
