Artists of the Decades

Wow. Thanks for the education, I think. I don't know if I'm more skeptical or nauseous, but I do know it'll be a very long time before I'd consider having Red Snapper for dinner!

I'd never heard it either! Can't say I'm glad I now have!

Wow, I am really surprised no one else had heard of this. Hmmm...

I knew about it.

Regarding Dreamer's comment about the Rolling Stones 'fading' in the 70s their albums in that decade included Sticky Fingers (which I think is their best album), Exile On Main Street (which many think is their best album) and Some Girls (which is a great album).

OK, I can get this was a joke, but I never saw that he was related to the grunge movement, as I don't see his sound as grunge, nor do the bands of the 90's era. I never hear them credit Young as an influence on their music, so I never really got the "grandfather of grunge" title.

Now can someone explain the"fish story"? because I'm in the dark on this one!

A couple of Neil Young's 'hard rock' albums like Ragged Glory and the hard rocks songs on Rust Never Sleeps are often cited as being influential on the grunge movement. He just doesn't do the folky stuff like Harvest & Comes A Time much these days. I believe that Kurt Cobain used the line 'it's better to burn out than it is to rust' in his suicide note,not that that means anythhing.

Almost sorry I asked about that "fish story" It's kinda turning my stomach.
I was going to make fish tonight for dinner, but maybe now I'll have something else LOL

Ummmm, Hello . . . . That's why I'm thinking that Led Zep was not all it was thought to be. Musically, I missed that boat. I just don't get it.
I don't mean for that to be an "atomic bomb" moment for all the hard-core Zepplin-Borderes to go crazy on me. I'm sure the band means the world to you -- I'm just stating my truth -- I don't get it and I could so live without it. But I get that Led Zep "does it" for so many of you -- and that is enough for me.

Really there are only two Zep fans on this board - Willie & myself, although I think Austin likes some of their work.

I love Zep!! I just don't think of them as defining a decade. Which is probably why I'm a member of this forum and not one dedicated to Zep. Seriously, the Eagles and Led Zeppelin are the only two artists I can think of that I always listen to any song of theirs played on the radio. (OK, Boston as well, I LOVE Boston). Other groups, depending on the song or mood, might get left behind and I tune into something else.

FP, you are right about this. When I made that comment, I was going from memory because I honestly don't recollect hearing that much about the Stones in the 70's. But, after reading your post, I went back and checked the band's discography and they were much more prolific in that decade than I can remember. Thanks for setting me straight.
