Rob Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 For comparison puposes,KC's band was flaming,and The Village People were the Sun.I fear all the good music has already been produced.The Village People, aw Jesus Christ man, were those idiots real? How bout "Boy George" and Culture Club? or "Tears for Fears", or any of the likes of the open degenerates of the music scene in the early 1980's?Thank god I had Ted Nugent, UFO, Whitesnake (early), Outlaws, Kansas, Scorpions, Van Halen (early), and some of the more contemporary bands of the timeframe to get me through.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Timothy Maikshilo Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Remember the flaming faggots that went by KC and the Sunshine Band???? Gawd, just the thought of them makes me wanna PUKE!! At that time I was still jammin to Deep Purple's "Made in Japan", Boston's debut album, Rush's "2112", Dire Straits, The Eagles, Kiss "Alive", America, and other decent music like that.RobTed Nugent, Aerosmith and the Allmen Brothers along with Marshall Tucker were big in my house among the young'in, oh and Black Sabbath. Dad's younger wife introduced us to that.

But I just wish he would shut up about the political s@!t....BULLHUSKI remember one thing my 7th grade Social Studies teacher taught me-Bruce Springsteen is going to be huge one day. This was in 1974, before Born To Run was released. He was playin the Greeetings From Asbury Park album on one of those monophonic school record players after classes one day. The first Bruce song I ever heard was Spirit In The Night.That weekend I was at Sam Goody's making a rare "2 album" purchase. He had since released another album-The Wild, The Innocent, and The E Street Shuffle. Since I had already heard Asbury Park, I played the other one first and was absolutely blown away. We may not have had ipods and digital music back then but I'd rather listen to the music from my teenage years on a transistor radio than todays crap in crisp, clean digital.I don't want to hear any celebrity's political opinions, even if I agree with them. I know this is selfish, but if your a singer, I want to hear you sing and if your an actor, I want to see you act. Aside from that, your just another person who has their own opinons and beliefs, 1 Quote Jim Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/23917-dm-800-tractor-in-the-movies/page/2/#findComment-108477 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olivetroad Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 We would all run around with our arms rigid (heh heh - he said Rigid) at our sides and jump up and down like we were doing the type of safety dance you are thinking of. The other cool thing to do when that came out was to draw little rigid men all over our blue jeans with a ink pen. I don't miss being 14.

vision386 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 It's generally agreed,MOST music from the eighties sucks! despite being born and raised in Jersey,we listened to a lot of country music,my dad was a product of the "honky tonk" era,so it was Webb Pierce,Hank Snow,Waylon Jennings etc. my grandad was a big fan of the "Chairman of the board" (Sinatra) so i was blessed with a pretty ecclectic taste in music! does'nt get any better then hearing Springsteen do "Jersey Girl" live,seen the guy like 10 times now!.............................Mark Quote Mack Truck literate.
