ong45 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Oingo boingo 1981-85.. They made their music in a time when new wave and punk rock was dominant in L.A. Thus got lumped into that category. From widipedia: Oingo Boingo defied easy categorization. Their use of exotic percussion, a three piece horn section, unconventional scales and harmony, and surrealistic imagery was an unusual combination. Front man Danny Elfman is now writing movie scores, noteably for Tim Burton. from their farewell concert.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimmyZip Posted January 6, 2009 Author Share Posted January 6, 2009 Steely Dan, Have to say that is my all time favorite. I can't think of a better group of musicians, even though they aren't the same folks from album to alobum and album to tour. (When they toured) I know that Fagen and Becker are really the band, they write songs and music that is everything in my opinion. I have a range of tastes that seems hindered only by what I've have and have not heard. If there is a genere of music I probably have a favorite unless I haven't taken the time to get some exposure to that genere. Does that make me an expert? Hardly, but I do think I can listen without getting uptight. I think I can hear what the artists are trying to do or say. Steely Dan, man oh man!

chp5 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Not sure if the Dave Mathews Band is specifically rock - but anything live by them is great. One of the best live bands and pure musicians around today. Back in the late 80's I saw Santana live. I didn't really like them before the concert - but was blown away by their live performance. The bands who are better in concert than recorded - I have a lot of respect for . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franklin D Wolverton Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Chicago - Chicago IX and before... I haven't been a big fan of the stuff after that. Pretty much dig any rock that came out prior to about 1980. Sabbath rules Yes, ELP, the Who, are also in my playlist. Then again, I'm a huge Jazz fan as well. Probably why I dig Chicago... the horns are wicked cool. Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris iliff Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Want some good rock, try Wolfmother, my favorite right now. Once you listen you won't believe how much of their stuff is being used and hardly no one knows them. Outta Australia I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarge Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 I can't believe it! Am I the only one who thinks The Scorpions are right up there at the top? I have seen them and AC/DC live. AC/DC kicks serious ass but The Scorpions kick just a tad harder to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
