I don't agree with much of what you have to say, in fact, in the past, you have bored me to tears with you pathetic sermons, Mr Casper, but one thing we do seem to have in common is some 60's/70's/80's music taste/knowledge.
As soon as you mentioned Jethro Tull and Yes, I knew you were of my classical vintage. Early Pink Floyd, were weird, but they got me. They then defined an era. King Crimson were super, as were, The Doors as you mentioned. Rolling Stones - severely over-rated.
Black Sabbath and Deep Purple laid the foundation for modern Day rock.
Uriah Heap, Neil Young and Rick Wakeman laid foundations for so much ahead of them.
Jackson Browne sold me on folk.
Australian mid-seventies rock intervened with great conviction, before culture changing bands like U2, Simple Minds and Pearl Jam changed the face of modern day pop/rock.
If anyone wants to talk minority, .............go for it.
I popped up and heard things like The Saints, Ed Kuepper, Paul Kelly and a host of others, but it was mainstream that always sold me records.
I have no shame about that.
Suity
Suity, if we ever got to meet and smelt each others arses we would find an attractive oozing smell permeating from our togetherness due to the exposure we both had to the incredible late 60's to mid 70's contemporary music influences we love.
I saw Little Feat, Uriah Heap, Rick Wakeman and Yes, I even went and saw Gary Glitter, T-Rex, Status Quo, Ossi Bissa, Santana, Elton John, David Bowie, Black Sabbath, Rolling Stones, Caravan, etc, etc.
I wish I saw Steely Dan back then.
I was also heavily exposed & mixed in the local sydney rock music industry, so spent lots of time at the Bondi Lifesavers Club, The Basement, Coogee Bay Hotel, The Tavern, The Carousel, The Green Elephant, The Paddo Town Hall, etc, etc, with bands like very early Cold Chisel, AC DC, Midnight Oil, Rose Tatoo, Hush, Sherbet,.... loved the Saints, Birthday Party. Just so many to list here.......
Obviously, we both loved the same music. Gees, I really enjoyed those days, used to regularly get picked up by gorgeous older women (early 30's to late 30's), we'd go back and do the do do do do.
One experience was bloody depressing, she put on Harvest from the moment we walked into her apartment until I fell asleep depressed. I think I was her doctor that night. I have never since tried having sex to "Needle And The Damage Done", "Old Man" (Take A Look At My Life), etc, etc,
