Brock Landers Music thread

[Brock Landers]

So i was inspired by SBR newcomer LVBOUND's thread about music...and decided i needed one of my own.

lets start with how i came to love the music i do today..

My dad had a RECORD collection, and in that collection there were 2 albums that stood out. This was 1980 or so when i "tuned in"

1)Jimi Hendrix "Are You Experienced?"







Used to play the album and loved purple haze, Foxy Lady and The Wind Cries Mary more than i can explain..

2)he had a 45 of Van Halen's "You really got me" with a B side of "Atomic Punk"





I've been HOOKED ever since

3)He also had a 45 of the Eagles "One of the these nights", which i specifically remember being one i listened to over and over again



Next topic will be my 1st music purchases...

[Brock Landers]

i picked up much along the way...but it was SPECIFICALLY in 1988, seeing "The Dead Pool" featuring an unknown band named GUNS N' ROSES that changed my world for good!





This one group and songs from the best debut album ever changed me in ways that would have otherwise been impossible!

[JW Cash]

...my favorite Hendrix.....

[Brock Landers]

I diverged in many different directions at this point, i picked up a LOVE for U2 with their best album "The Joshua Tree"

"Where the Streets have no Name"


"I still haven't found what i'm looking for"



Followed closely behind by "Rattle and Hum"



And my very favorite U2 song "HeartLand"...which also led me to visit Graceland shortly afterward

[DwightShrute]

[ronjon619]

Brocky that maybe their most popular but The Unforgettable Fire is their best work............
"early morning April 4, a shot rings out in the Memphis sky
free at last, they took your life but they couldn't take your PRIDE"

[ronjon619]

[Brock Landers]

Good Stuff Ron, i'll get to the Rolling Stones a little later. They are on top of almost any band in my book

[Brock Landers]

Moving onto 1989..

I was introduced to a lot of BEATLES music in that period as well, as their stuff all came out on CD starting with the 20th anniversary of Sgt Pepper..



Then their best single song..to me anyway

"A Day in the Life"



Got into the white album BIG time..

"While my Guitar Gently Weeps"



"Yer Blues"

[Brock Landers]

one real cool memory i have..

In 1988, i had a trip with my uncle up to Lake in the Woods for fishing in Manitoba

I had my sony walkman, and listened to Abbey Road from start to finish like 5 times

[THE PROFIT]

Brock, that's fukin scary! First tape I ever bought was Van Halen 1984 and second was Quiet Riot Metal Health!!!

[Brock Landers]

The Beatles led to the Doors and Led Zepplin

"Touch Me"


"Love her Madly"



Led Zeppelin

"Heartbreaker"



"Live Lovin Maid"

[Brock Landers]

Brock, that's fukin scary! First tape I ever bought was Van Halen 1984 and second was Quiet Riot Metal Health!!!

[Brock Landers]

I then expanded my Led Zeppelin love to include their entire catalog

"out on the tiles"



"The Rover"



"Hots on for Nowhere"

[Brock Landers]

From Zeppelin i moved to the stones...i've now got every album they ever made "original studio albums" in my Ipod catalog.

Remind you, i discovered all this from like 1987-1990.

Here are just a few faves...

"Sympathy for the Devil" probably the single best rock song ever written



"Gimme Shelter"



"Wild Horses" *MY PERSONAL FAVORITE SONG OF THEIRS*



"Lovin Cup"



I could go on and on...but you get the idea

[Brock Landers]

one more Key Stones song to add..

"No Expectations"



Perfection

[in2thethickofit]

Brock - "The Rover" is a classic...high on my list of "best songs" ever!!!

[Brock Landers]

More to come, I've just gotten to 1989!

The era of Grunge hasn't hit!

[JohnGalt2341]

Great thread Brock. About Sympathy for the Devil... I agree... excellent song... my favorite Stones song for sure. They use a "version" of it in the most underrated movie of all time... The Jericho Mile. If you haven't seen this movie YOU MUST. Here's the final scene of the movie with Sympathy playing... it fits perfectly!

[Brock Landers]

Thanks johnny!

[Brock Landers]

1989, significant year for GUNS N' ROSES

"Patience"



And probably their BEST single song "One in a Million"

[Brock Landers]

1989 also saw other things i broke out and listened to..

Mostly Tone Loc



Some Aerosmith...their comeback in my eyes



Great Motley Crue



A cool tune by Sam Kinson which had Slash in it...

[Mr Windy City]

brock, it's nice to see you like music so much. How long is this gonna go on for though?
