Here's mine.

Awesome song. Odd looking group of white guys though.

Although they are one of the few to go the Hard Rock path.

I think it might have been on American Bandstand...Better go get my ovaltine and lap blanket now...

One of the best shows I've ever seen!

I've seen all kinds of bands, and I have to say that show had the scummiest looking crowd I've ever seen. (IIRC it beat out the crowd at a show I went to that was put on by a local Hell's Angels chapter.) :rofl:

Always loved this song.

Another favorite by this group.

One of my favorite solos on any instrument, ever.

Possibly the creepiest pedophile song ever!

I almost wished I hadn't watched that video. Seeing what they looked like almost ruined the song for me. :rofl:

But, here are a few of my favorites of the top of my rock and roll-obsessed head.

The Choir :It's Cold Outside

Instruments?

in various bands in teh Philly area for some years.
I play guitar, bass and some harmonica, and still sing, although a bit differently after 21 years of not smoking and losing a lot of teeth.

How did you not know that? I don't know how you didn't know!

(How is Mrs. V?)

I liked that there was more regionalism on the charts back then. Pushin' may have very well been the only hit where you were. Can't Seem to Make You Mine , it seems to me, made it to maybe number 20 something in Chi....In fact, I remember variation even from city to nearby city. I was having a facebook conversation about the Hollies yesterday; specifically about Carrie Anne, and I remembered (maybe and maybe not accurately) that while it got to about number 8 or 9 in Chicago, it was number one on WOKY in Milwaukee ,which we listened to in the cabin at music camp in East Troy, Wisconsin that summer. (Unrelated, but if East Troy rings a bell, it was where Stevie Ray Vaughan played his last blues).

a one-hit wonder...although he's way too talented for that label.

Loved this one as a youngan

And it was called "2525 A.D."

Great, now you made me all ashamed to have to admit that I know that song, remember when it was current, and for many weeks lived just to hear it again on the radio machine.

but I still love it.

doing their hit song, "Psychotic Reaction"

Always loved it.

First to come to mind is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1NAq4HyoNe4

Probably was his only big one. Good tune :)


I watched a documentary recently with Jimmy Page. Watching him almost foam at the mouth listening to this tune said quite a bit to me.

I can only imagine what Jimmy Page has in his collection:)

Did Page talk about it in that movie, "It Might Get Loud"? Great movie, but I don't remember if he talked about Link Wray in it or not.

Freaking out matter of fact :)

Its cool because he seems to be a very private person yet allowed the cameras in his house. The man has a collection of music that would take hours to browse through.

"Little Black Egg"....The Nightcrawlers

Jesus... takes me back. Good memories of laying in my bed, late, listening to the radio, when I lived with my Grandma. I was completely safe and I refused to go to sleep because it felt so good, and because I was afraid to miss anything.

Mr. Astley had another hit, "Together Forever." So there. :P
