Any classic 70s or 80s rock fans here?

[Adora]

My favourite genre of music would have to be 70s and 80s rock music,my favourite bands and artists are Queen,INXS,David Bowie,Bon Jovi and Australian groups like Icehouse and Pseudo Echo which is more on the new wave side but I would like to know do you like 70s or 80s rock and if so what are your favourite artists or bands?

 

[Nitro]

My 70s and 80s bands are too numerous to list here, so here are a few of the outstanding concerts I attended.


I saw Bon Jovi front row and center stage in the early 90s.

Bon Scott era AC-DC in 1979 at the Civic Arena in Pittsburgh Pa USA.

Cheap Trick at the Nailers Stadium in Wheeling West Virginia 1980.
Got engaged at that show during their hit "I want you to want me" We never married because we fought like cats and dogs

The Marshall Tucker Band in Maryland in 1980.

Pink Floyd, Cleveland stadium 1984.

Pat Travers in the early 80s.

Bruce Springsteen, Pittsburgh Three Rivers Stadium, 1984

The Outlaws with Molly Hatchet in 1979

I'll add more as I remember them, but there's a start

[Mr Allen]

Me! Been a Queen fan for over 30 years, and for my 30th birthday we went to see the Queen musical We Will Rock You in London, that was in April 2006.

The main rocker I'm a fan of though would be Meat Loaf, Bat out of hell was and still is a timeless classic IMO, just a shame that IMO the last good album he did was Bat out of hell 3 in 2010, the one he released last year wasn't that good IMO.

If the Bat out of hell musical ever comes out of London, going to see it is definitely on my "to do" list.

[Tom]

I only listened to Slim Whitman in the 70s & 80's. I remember his TV ads said he was more popular then the Beatles and sold more records then Elvis in the UK. Or something like that.

 

[clg114]

I have always liked British bands like The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, The Hollies, Genesis, Dire Straits, Eric Clapton and my favorite, Pink Floyd.

Living in the backwoods has it's disadvantages, non of the big bands has ever come to Idaho. Even worse, I have never been to a NFL game before. I might be able stand the crowd for Pink Floyd or a pro football game.

 

[FreeDiver]

A hardcore 80's fan here. Back in the days of MTV and the golden age of the music video. When the 90's rolled around, my interest in pop music just took a nose dive.

How many of you remember when you would hooked-up the FM tuner on you stereo to the cable tv line so you could hear MTV in stereo?

Going to a pro football game? Are you crazy? I was invited to a Seahawks game about 20 years ago and the roar of the crowd was so loud that it made my ears hurt. I had to plug my ears the whole time I was there. Never doing that again.

Well, I did say that I "might" be able to stand the crowd. The Seahawks home games are the loudest of all. Something about their stadium.

 

[Nitro]

I got to see Carlos Santana while rubbing elbows with the pit boss leaning on center stage at the former Star Lake Amphitheater.

Was nothing that compared to seeing him play directly overhead.

 

[Nitro]

The Steve Miller Band at the same amphitheater in the late 90s

I'm listening to Little Creatures right now, it came up on random play

How many of you remember when you would hooked-up the FM tuner on you stereo to the cable tv line so you could hear MTV in stereo?

My family didn't have cable TV - I used to listen to the radio, borrow cassettes and make my own recording, or buy them, vinyl and later cassettes. I used to record from the radio when I got really desperate to have a track, but the quality was never that good.
