these youngsters say "who's Bob Dylan" and "who"s Pink Floyd"?? Now that's sad.
I've never heard anyone refer to a Zeppelin, Stones, Beatles album as a "joint."
.
Sad, so sad. What is this world coming to.
Good list, I like LZ but not fanatical about them.The Beatles the same thing. But you know what's sadder than a wrinkled old rock star? When your at work and these youngsters say "who's Bob Dylan" and "who"s Pink Floyd"?? Now that's sad. ... and I have to agree with PirateKing, I don't bother with concerts anymore I just get it on vid or mp3.

I think all public entertainers need to learn when it's time to turn the spotlight over to the next gen.
Sure thing. But I forgot Lynyrd Skynyrd who are still touring with Van Zant's little *******, which, depending on your viewpoint could be sacralege. 'Pronounced' has to be one of the great American rock albums, but it's a shame there aren't more great artists.
Well,my viewpoint is that it's complete sacrilege.Gary Rossington is the only member from the original band who is still there. Ricky Medlocke was a member in '70-'71,and is now,but the fact remains:
Lynyrd Skynyrd died on October 20,1977
They should have stopped after the Tribute Tour in '87
It sure is a shame what happened to them. Real tragedy. More of a tragedy, is that I don't have a ton of American bands that I can think of from that era that really moved me. There is only one Aerosmith song I can even stand - '***** on.'
ZZ Top was good. I just draw blanks when trying to dig American bands from the 60s and 70s.
The Zombies, Ten Years After, the Hollies, Procol Harum etc. are all European.
