Pop rock music legends

[elicec]

I think it would be appropriate to open a thread about the historical bands. Enough with the new stuff ! (ok I'm joking...)

Let's flashback...We 're in the very beginning of the sixties, rock'n'roll was born ten years ago, and Pop just appeared.

Yes they look funny (and old fashioned to our young generation's eyes) but they built the pop music we know nowadays.



Who hasn't heard the famous "Barbara Ann", "I get around", "California Dreaming", "Wouldn't it be nice" ?? That was the sound on the America side.


And on the other side of the atlantic ocean, the sound of Liverpool...

Mmh sorry I know the pictures weren't taken in the same period


I don't feel able to list right now all the artist and bands who fit in the category, I'll just add my favourites :
David Bowie
Michael Jackson
Queen
The Rolling Stones
U2

... To be continued...

What is it exactly ?



Did I claim how much I admire David Bowie ?

Aah "Starman" one of his most inspired song !

Didn't know what time it was and the lights were low
I leaned back on my radio
Some cat was layin' down some rock 'n' roll 'lotta soul,
he said

Then the loud sound did seem to fade
Came back like a slow voice on a wave of phase
That weren't no D.J. that was hazy cosmic jive

[CHORUS]
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He's told us not to blow it
Cause he knows it's all worthwhile
He told me:
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie

I had to phone someone so I picked on you
Hey, that's far out so you heard him too!
Switch on the TV
we may pick him up on channel two
Look out your window I can see his light

If we can sparkle he may land tonight
Don't tell your poppa or he'll get us locked up in fright

[CHORUS (x2)]

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
