If there is one thing I have learned, it's that music truly is the most universal language in the world. Besides myself looking for yet another excuse to post anything at all or just a good one to post music videos, I would like everyone here to feel free to post links to some of your favorite tunes and/or talk about what you like to listen to. Consider this thread your very own little "House of Blues" as it were.

Anyway as for an opening post, I had some difficulty trying to think of a good opener, a nice ice breaker everyone may enjoy, and well I came up with this. Enjoy.

Disclaimer:
Everyone has their own likes & dislikes which includes their listening preferences so please no badmouthing or cruel banter because somebody enjoys a certain type of music or band you may not. There is plenty of song to go around, be nice.

Merry Christmas to you and yours.
 

 

Before the "Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice" movie, I never actually listened to the original MacArthur Park this was a parody of. As a child and for the longest, this was 'the original' to me. Haha.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm old enough to have taken a date with me to see Styx's Grand Illusion tour in 1977.  I was 17 years old.

LOL.  My first concert was Styx Mr. Roboto in 1983.  It was a bit of shock when I went to my next concert and The Police just stood there and played without a huge elaborate stage show like Styx.

Believe it or not, my very first concert that I attended (not sure of the year) was Seals and Crofts.

Hey, Seals and Crofts used to be popular in the 70s, man.  They released 17 albums and had an album reach #7 in 1972 and another to reach #4 in 1973.  Ever heard of England Dan and John Ford Coley?  England Dan was Seals' younger brother.  Later, Dan Seals became quite a popular country singer during the 80's and early 90's,  Sure Seals and Crofts England Dan and John Ford Coley is bubble-gum rock but I'll take it every day against acts today that can't record without autotune.  Seals and Crofts helped me get laid a number of times during the 70's, something that songs like Wet Hot ***** haven't (so far.)

And if you were just joking, in case you haven't noticed, I love teaching (and remembering) music history from the 1940's until the 1980's.  Thank you for the excuse.
