Storm Bay Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Mine was rock and roll for the most part. I cannot find my favourite song, The Whole World's Going Crazy by April Wine, but for those of you who have n ever heard one of Canada's top 1970s bands sing, here's a link to one of their biggest hits. I can only understand the words to the chorus, so I hope it's not offensive!!! DH said it's not something our kids should listen to;) One I liked better was this one called Tonight is a Wonderful Time to Fall in Love. But when I was 15, my favourite song's refrain (not the one linked) had this in it: The whole world's going crazy, Crazy, crazy, crazy, cra-a-azy, Hey, baby, you wanna go crazy with me-e-e-e. Intelligent, isn't it? Mature? As I was, naturally, at 15:D Okay, I had other songs I really, really, really liked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This video is great, because it explains the whole song, although I don't think Mr. Spock belongs there, because it's out of time for that part of the song.

I wasn't a fan of David Bowie (he was later on), but I used to cry at Harry Chapin's son Cat's Cradle, and was in grade 9 when Bohemian Rhapsody was hot in our high school (I think I have the right Queen song--definitely a Queen song was totally hot when I was taking French in Grade 9 because I remember who was in my class, where I was, etc.) And Paul McCartney--we loved his songs, my friends and I. Gosh, and I loved, loved, loved Crosby, Stills and Nash (only concert I actually paid for while still in high school was when they came to Vancouver.) I loved the older stuff from Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, too. Plus, we used to listen to older stuff from Bread and many, many other groups. Remember Stairway to Heaven on the radio? The version on the album was way longer. Oh, the memories... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storm Bay Posted September 19, 2008 Author Share Posted September 19, 2008 Eagles, John Denver, James Taylor, Billy Joel, Elton John, Jimmy Buffet. Mmmm, John Denver I loved, even though he sang Country. What a fabulous voice and things like Sunshine on My Shoulder and Annie's Song are some of my favourites. If I ever get an IPOD those will be on my what to get list. After The Nylons' version of The Lion Sleeps Tonight, of course. Back in the 1970s it was another group that had that out, or at least it was still being played. At my first high school dance, the band played "Smoke on the Water" 3 times. Two years later that lead singer was my first official boyfriend (a local band which had broken up by then). My mother was a teen when Elvis came out, so she can truly relate to the line "I remember when rock was young"... I hated Elvis Presley's music in high school, but do like some of it now. I did like Elton John back then, but don't care for him now. My aunt, 9 years younger, saw the Beatles in Vancouver. They broke up when I was 10 and before I even knew who they were. I had a very musically sheltered childhood because my dad is all about Classical music, although he played some folk when company came, and I don't remember my mother having the radio on when she drove. But, in answer to a different poster, Barry Manilow was just not cool for teens where I was;). Although I did secretly play one of his songs (I think it was Mandy) on the piano at home. Can't stand the song now, though, when I'm at an age where I suppose I "should" like his stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenny in Florida Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 I started 9th grade in 1978. My first year I was still listening to pretty mainstream pop/rock stuff: Fleetwood Mac (Rumours), The Eagles, Supertramp, ELO. My favorite was Queen, which I still love to this day, by the way. By my sophomore year, I was branching out. I feel in love with The Ramones (about which I am nostalgic, but which I don't actually enjoy listening to anymore). And then I was introduced to Elvis Costello, and the world (or at least my record collection) would never be the same. And, oh, another one I still love is The Boomtown Rats. Here's one of my favorites: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Shtt7snuuyc So, I guess mostly New Wave stuff. Edited to add: Of course, my darling son was looking over my shoulder while I poked around on You Tube and said scornfully, "They're not even really singing, just yelling in tune." Darn it, tell me again why I taught him to have taste? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to modelling school when Heart of Glass came out and after class we'd often go out dancing. So much better than disco. Speaking of disco, which was so 1970s, I think it's interesting that that hasn't come up. Of course, I did start this off with ROCK music, but we have included other genres. Remember when Punk music became popular in 1976? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you remember the song that was playing all the time (or was it in 1971) with the words, Where's your mama gone? I never new the name, and always thought they were singing to "little baby boy" and that they sang chubba chubba cheep cheep (this might belong in Aubrey's thread about mixed up lyrics and it was on my dad's portable radio.)

paula j Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Camy, Your post reminded me of one Halloween when my friends decided we would dress as KISS and I was Gene Simmons. There was a particular boy in our class who was really ornery and he was "supposed" to be home handing out candy. We decided to play a trick on him and I was supposed to spit tomato juice on him like Gene would spit "blood". Well, our plan fell to pieces when his dad, our principal, answered the door instead and I was so surprised I spit tomato juice on him instead.:leaving: Not one of my prouder moments. though I didn't enter high school until the 80's, I was a precocious music fan (sp?).

buddhabelly Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 What? Nobody loved Cheap Trick? The Kinks? Van Halen? Actually, I didn't like Cheap Trick or The Kinks either. Let's see --- I liked Eric Clapton, Neil Young (and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young), Fleetwood Mac, Blondie, and the Beach Boys. The Beach Boys had a revival in the 1970's, releasing an album of old hits that this 11-year-old thought were brand new. I also thought "Kashmir" by Led Zeppelin was the most brilliant thing I had ever heard. I also discovered Sargeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band at this time, although that was released in the late 60's. And why hasn't Gordon Lightfoot been mentioned? Admit it, ladies, you loved "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald." That is a nice long song if you were, um, enjoying the scenery in a (cough) parked car. :001_wub: Another one I enjoyed while enjoying the scenery was "Nights in White Satin" by the Moody Blues."

laylamcb Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Well, I went to high school in the 80s. But we lived with another family when I was growing up (kinda like a hippie commune--very strange), and they had older kids, so we grew up listening to everything from Fleetwood Mac and the Doobies ("South City Midnight Lady": does it get any better than that?!) to Black Sabbath and Pink Floyd. Here's Thin Lizzy performing one my faves. I also LOVED disco; do the hustle! And one of my all-time faves of any era or genre is the Allman Brothers' Just perfect. Now here's the ultimate 70s listening experience: Get in your t-top Camaro (:lol:), pop in your 8-track of the Allman Brothers' Eat a Peach, and then cruise along to "Melissa" with the breeze blowing through what's left of your hair. Follow with liberal doses of the Doobies, Steely Dan, Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Marshall Tucker Band, Santana, and Boston; JT's entire Sweet Baby James album; the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack; and Heart's "Dog and Butterfly." Aaaaahhhh. :auto: ETA: Oh! And I'm not too proud to admit that I looooove Loggins and Messina. Love 'em. Think we should have a Loggins and Messina Day once a year. Think House at Pooh Corner should be required listening. Still get choked up when I hear "Danny's Song" or "Watching the River Run." They were THAT good. And they had great hair.
