This thread is for heavy or hard rock 'n roll from when we were growing up, please add any of your favorites. :cool: :jammin:




 

Ah, my favourite genre. Anything from Hard Rock to Thrash Metal suits me down to the ground.

Turn up everything louder than everything else ...

 
Sorry! Got started and this thread just brought back too many memories. Graduated from high school in '64. Viet Nam going strong. Headed to college with a student deferment. Animals... Stones... The "British Invasion" was just beginning and we all had stereos in the dorms and lots of 33 1/3 vinyl. By '68, I had one of the first 4-track tape players for my car. Joplin... Tommy James... Motown was beginning to become popular, but I never felt as close to that genre' as I did the early hard rock. I play a lot of "50's on 5" and "60's on 6" on Sirrius in my truck. When we drove to the daughter's, who lives a couple hours from us for Easter, I can't ever remember my wife singing along with the songs like she did. "If I could only remember all the words!", she said.

I can still turn up the volume on these old songs and compete with a lot of the "boom boxes" in today's cars. Probably one of the reasons... besides just getting old... that I can't hear anything anymore!!!!
 
I still love hearing these song too, turn up the volume and sing along. We really had some excellent music in our time, I'm very grateful for that, being born in the 50s and growing up in the 60s and beyond. Talkin' about OUR generation! :cool:


 
Hard rock at its best. No fancy suits or light show, no guitar effects pedals, no weird shaped guitar, just a beat up old Fender 'Strat' and scruffy jeans ...

Love that song, thanks for posting. Notice with that song they dressed in suit and tie, doesn't seem appropriate but that was the mid 60's.

Our parents were too concerned about the long hair they were seeing on the groups of the "British Invasion". The groups didn't dare appear on national tv shows, like The Ed Sullivan Show, in tatty attire. It was a very short time that suits and ties were the "required attire". The hair got longer and the dress got much less formal pretty quick.
 
For me, two of the earliest songs that could be considered 'Hard Rock' were these by The Kinks, both released in 1964 ...
