Rock & Roll music from 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s.

[Yvonne Smith]

Although I mainly like Country and Western music, I really like some of the rock and roll songs as well. This thread is to share music from that era.

 

[Tony Page]

Sorry, I got the wrong decade.

 

[Schwallenstutter]

AC/DC, always a classic.

Definitely can't list all of the groups/songs we like, but here are some: Deep Purple (Hush, Highway Star, Smoke On The Water), Van Halen ( Jump, You Really Got Me), Heart (all), Santana, Boston (first album), Steppen Wolf (some), ZZ Top (some), ELO (some), Styx (Renegade, Lady, Blue Color Man), Chicago (all) and a few others. Put a keyboard (piano/organ) into a rock band and we will follow! Sort of like putting a fiddle, steel guitar, harmonica and banjo into a country/western band and we will follow.

Better add: Paul Revere and the Raiders (all), Safaris (Wipe Out) and others from that era.

I had to look that up because I didn’t remember that from the 70’s music, and definitely it is not 60’s rock and roll, @Marie Mallory . Wikipedia says it didn’t even come out until 2014, so way after rock and roll songs.

Safaris (Wipe Out)

When I was a kid, I had a guitar in my hands constantly. When I couldn't play it, such as when I went to school, I of course had to put it down. Then I would get nervous or fidgety and I would start drumming on whatever happened to be within reach. From the first time I heard "Wipe Out" it became my drumming song. I got kicked out of class many times for drumming on the seat of my desk.

My Mother thought I wanted to be a drummer so she bought me a pair of parade model drum sticks, and I really got carried away with drumming on things then, including my older brother from time to time. When I started the band, regardless of whatever else we were going to play, we always opened with "Wipe Out". It's based on 12 bar blues, and as such quite easily extended for a long blues jam, then at the end of the night we'd close with it too. We had tons of fun with that song...

This needs to be played with your volume wide open.

I just found out Bobby Caldwell was their drummer or keyboard ' forgot' in 1974.
I saw Johnny Winters in Atlanta, Ga..
