LOL - That was a long time ago. Good ol' JDL -The Teens were mates with the Yardbirds and several notorious muscians came from that area -including Peter Gabriel of whom I am not a fan. For example of the Surrey connection - Keith Emmerson and Phil Collins played with the VIP's - Their lead guitarist was Roger someone was my first guitar teacher. He was a mate's sisters boyfriend. He had a very expensive Burns guitar - way out of my Hofner budget.

Spinal Tap!!!

I typically post this to threads about Google PageRank

Nigel Tufnel: The numbers all go to eleven. Look, right across the board, eleven, eleven, eleven and...

Marty DiBergi: Oh, I see. And most amps go up to ten?

Nigel Tufnel: Exactly.

Marty DiBergi: Does that mean it's louder? Is it any louder?

Nigel Tufnel: Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where?

Marty DiBergi: I don't know.

Nigel Tufnel: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?

Marty DiBergi: Put it up to eleven.

Nigel Tufnel: Eleven. Exactly. One louder.

Marty DiBergi: Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?

Nigel Tufnel: [pause] These go to eleven.

It's one louder isn't it?? LOL

I always suspected that Abba trax contained subliminal messages (such as "Blimey - this is good stuff"). I was never able to not like them, no matter how hard I tried. I hated myself for it !

There was only one superband, Skynyrd.

There were some bands worth an honorable mention (in no particular order other than off the top of my head) zeppelin, purple, lizzy, floyd, the who, ac/dc, rush.

You can mention so many more, everyone has their own tastes so you would need to ask as many as is humanly possible whilst taking a sample from all walks of life to get a real picture of general public opinion and if they don't say skynyrd well then %&$( em

Hi, Kgun.

The selection of a "superband" is very subjective, hinging mostly on one's personal tastes. For me, the following would be superbands, in that they recorded some very lasting music, that held its popularity across a generational line, AND, I really liked their music.

(No particular order)

Guns & Roses
Creedence Clearwater Revival
Santana
The Doors
Cream
Boston
ELO
Alabama
Mamas & Papas
Simon & Garfunkel
Black Sabbath


By my own definition, I suppose I should mention the Beatles, although they were never one of my personal favorites. But you couldn't live through the 60s & 70s without be bathed in Beatles music nearly daily.

Great party bands? How about the band that first premiered Handel's Water Music? Wasn't that a party?

Sibelius, oh yeah. Just finished listening to the No. 5 on CBC Radio 2. How coincidental.

And how about the celebratory Tchaikovsky 1812 Overture.

Okay, getting too esoteric. I'm with kgun on the classics, though. They will never get old.

• Babe Ruth
• Toronto
• Janis Joplin
• Pentangle
• Fotheringay
• Joni Mitchell
• Pat Benatar

Just some of the groups fronted by women, and the list is much longer. These are in no special order, only what first came to mind.

Frame of reference is important to include in this generalized question since we all grew up in different places, different times, different cultures.

It's doubtful that many of us go back to Sibelius' day, and few date from the thirties and the forties. If we did, we partied our feet off to Alton Glenn Miller, Major, United States Army, to name just one superstar of that era.

How much of the fifties has filtered through to today's retro genre? Most of it? Then Viet Nam came along and put a real damper on the sixties, but talk about protest music proliferation! What a decade.

This is the decade to really focus upon, I think, from a kind of weird Web 2.0 sort of perspective. It's the era where everything heated up, especially the stage. Equipment, equipment, equipment; and, lights, light and more lights. The shows got bigger and wilder. Everything took on a new velocity relative to its surroundings.

It's also the decade that set the stage for the super bands of the seventies, and exposed many great musicians to the many more up and coming younger (and wealthier) musical prospects.

Ginger Baker probably influenced every drummer that still lives and plays. How much did Eric Burdon influence the American scene, let alone the rest of the free world?

The list is so long for the sixties one doesn't know where to start; Everly Brothers, Dylan, Simon & Garfunkel, The Band, Guess Who, Paul Revere & the Raiders, Hollies, Box Tops, Turtles, CCR, Elvis, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, David Bowie, Black Sabbath, Rolling Stones, Long John Baldry, Beatles, Moody Blues, Jefferson Airplane, Cream, The Monkees, Country Joe and the Fish, &c., &c. ...

I do agree with Kgun and you, regarding the classics. I was simply thinking in more contemporary terms (contemporary to me, means anything from my teens, forward, that I liked )

Glen Miller's Big Band sound, however, remains one of my favorite styles of music to this day.

Speaking of Paul Revere & The Raiders, they were the first rock band to record for Columbia Records, and,The Raiders didn't just trademark a form of musical expression, but costumes (and in Mark Lindsay's case, hair style) which trademarks still hold to this day, as this recent video will show:
link: YouTube - Paul Revere & The Raiders - Just Like Me

They could have a whole version of Trivial Pursuit just on this one band and all its personalities over the years. I had no idea they even existed, still. What a mind blower.

Keep plugging the wiki's, whomever you are...
