How about some old time rock & roll?

... and not a single lyric containing the phrase "cop-killa", muthaf*****" or "ho".

Amazing. :rolleyes:

Thanks for the link - that was a nice break from the disappointment of the modern world.
 
Old time rock and roll

Do any of you all like old time rock and roll? I started listing to rock music at about age 12. I had a transistor radio and carried it every where. I especially like the songs from the 50's and 60's. I know a lot of lyrics because I listened to the music so much.:eek: My fave rock group of all times is The Rolling Stones - still growing strong. I saw them in concert about 10 years ago, and they were awesome!

Even though I don't remember him, Buddy Holly is one of my fave singers. I also really like Jerry Lee, and a lot more. Who are some of the rock singers/rock groups that you like?



 
I liked the Rolling Stones too, also Led Zeppelin, Cream, The Animals, Yardbirds, Jefferson Airplane, Credence Clearwater, Doors, Janis Joplin, Sly and the Family Stone....well, just can't name them all. I started listening to rock and roll early on too, had my transistor radio, and my 45 and 33 1/3 records. The Stones just keep on going, I love it, great time to grow up, wouldn't change it for the world. I had a sister who was 12 years my senior, so I started listening really early to rock.
 
Old rock, new rock, I love it all. I have fond memories when rock 'n' roll was being born and I was about seven. My older sister, 13, would drag me into her room, the usual off limits zone, point to the record on her player, say, "Listen to this!" and make me dance with her. Beautiful! She was sooo cool.
 
Your sister sounded too cool TG, my older brother used to sing and dance around the house with me to rock music...good and happy times back then! I like the newer alternative rock too, some good songs out there! :jammin:
 
I can't begin to list all the ones I like but here's a start:

Buddy Holly
Elvis
Fats Domino
Jerry Lee Lewis
The Coasters
The Drifters
Ricky Nelson
The Del Vikings
The Crystals
Jack Scott
Paul Anka
Larry Williams
 
My favorite is Credence Clearwater....I walk most everyday listening to their music.

I'm a fan of CCR too but they're not from the old time rock and roll era. They did revive the old rock & roll style though. The Stray Cats are another later band that played a lot of the old style R&R.
 
I like all types of rock and roll from the 50's to the present. Some people may not agree with me, but I believe some of the best rock was British.

I said "Some of the best" The Doors were also a great American rock group.
 
I've always loved the harmony of artists like the Everly Brothers.
My favorite rock band of all time is Alice in Chains. They have the same beautiful harmony the Everly Brothers had.
