Their greatest hits album was one of the first CD's I bought when I got my first CD player in 1987.
70's music rocks.

Hell, my kids know most of the words to their songs. Our favorite is Late in the Evening, with Kodachrome a close second...
yeah, I'd buy tickets. Hubby would get a kick out of seeing them in person. We Luvv them!
Edited to add that I gave up being cool when I had kids.

Maybe you should stop listening to that gangster rap crap, and enjoy some real music

I liked my fair share of fluff (Donna Summer, the Bay City Rollers, KC & the Sunshine Band) but also liked real music (Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd). But nothing as heinously horrible as S&G.  |
ex-friggin' cuse me -- talk about losing cool points. what is that array of slicked back crap listed above as "fluff"???? quite a difference in that bubble gum barf and the folksie, good writing stuff of good old S&G -- now COME ON little miss 1972 still in diapers.....Bay City Rollers are not even in my vocabulary.... i puke in their direction....
get with the folk Elkid - hello darkness my old friend.......
where have you gone Joe DeMagio..
S&G at least could write words and music.
do a little dance, make a little love, get laid tonight... or whatever it was........ 
major loss of cool points with Bay City Roller reference. |
BIG FAT !
They wrote some really great stuff. My all time favorite is The Dangling Conversation. Poetry to music it is.
I wonder if people have considered that the gansta rap and so-called-metal crap they listen to is what's making them so angry? Hateful, despicable, deplorable and degrading words makes people angry. Why wouldn't the same words set to "music" do the same?

Kid, S&G is great music.
The Bay City Rollers is a dime store novel as Simon and Garfunkel is a classic tome.
Major loss of coolpoints for you, my friend.

Luckily my Cool Vectometer is not set by RRers. Especially those who listen to saccharine pop.
Bay City Rollers et al were rollerskating music; that's why I clearly said "fluff" and then offered examples of real music I listened to. But not all "gangsta rap" is crap, people. Especially old school stuff. Yes, a lot of it is hateful (particularly some of the new junk), but some really tells it like it is for that demographic. Most people don't like it because they don't understand it (much like an ghetto kid probably won't like classic rock).
That said, I listen to lots of music, but not S&G. Matter of fact, I'm going to put on some Hendrix now. Then I'm just gonna sit back and wait for you guys to say that The Carpenters were one of the most influential bands evah.

Would you pay $260 for a nosebleed seat to see them? According to a Chicago radio station this morning, that's the going price for them when they play here at the Cell.
