I’m enjoying this very much. Quite a few reminders of bands I haven’t listened to for a while Sensational Alex Harvey band, Hawkwind etc
To be honest, I've found music to be a learning curve. The things I was told to listen to, i never really got till I found them myself, almost as though I wasn't ready to appreciate it at the time as someone else was, I think that's why I love it so much, music means different things to all of us at different times. We can all agree or disagree and no one is ever right or wrong and opinions are fluid and ever changing.....but then ive had a bottle or two or red so who knows
If she wants classic rock then anything by Dire Starits Thin Lizzy Jimmy Hendrix Gary Moore AC/DC Black Sabbath (getting bit heavy now, but I don't know where her sensibilities lie) And to go back to the roots of rock then anything by BB King, Freddie King and Albert King as that's where all 'rock' came from
Fresh Prince-summer time. Dire straits-Brothers in arms Chuck Berry-Johnny B goode Prince-Purple rain.
Very much agree with you @Sambighair Wish I’d had the same openness to music that my daughter has at that age too
Me too! I'd have found many many soul stirring songs much earlier, but would I have appreciated them then??? Hahah
To give my youngest daughter her due, (she's 21 now) she likes a whole load of 'classic' things from the 70's and 80's, then she did have to listen to them all the time whilst growing up!
My twins are 2 very soon and they go to sleep with Fleetwood Mac ( blues/ Peter green stuff) and joy division and beach boys! God ( only)knows what they will like in 15 years lol
