7. ZZ TOP

[TexasBushwhacker]

16. +1

[Dustlawyer]

34. +1!!!

ZZ played my oldest sister's Homecoming dance. They (the band) credit a local DJ who is still on the air in my town for starting them off. He booked them for a couple of gigs and when no one showed up to the first one he booked them again and promoted the gig himself, playing their music all of the time. This couldn't happen now with corporate radio!

My boss brought them to town twice a few years ago so his band could open for them. He had the elderly DJ come introduce them, it was awesome!

[TexasProgresive]

8. Cream, Blind Faith & Peter, Paul & Mary

[ailsagirl]

13. Genesis, once Peter Gabriel bailed

[BuddyCa]

22. Steve Hackett had to leave too

[ailsagirl]

24. That's right-- I forgot

I liked their music -- mostly before they went mainstream. They had some good stuff. IMO

[ailsagirl]

14. Crosby, Stills, & Nash

[Coventina]

15. Stray Cats, XTC, Love and Rockets, Bananarama, Thompson Twins....

I am sure there are more I am not remembering right now.

[Kolesar]

28. XTC should be in the Hall of Fame

I thought Bananarama had two men from The Specials.
You remember some great bands. I'm alive, so alive.

[Coventina]

30. Agreed. XTC is one of the most underrated, brilliant bands ever.

Bananarama did some early collaborations with Fun Boy Three (who I also left out!) who, yes, were a side project of some members of the Specials. But, the core of the group were the three women.

Love and Rockets....yes, one of my all time favorite bands. Saw them live a number of times.....

[Kolesar]

37. Andy Partridge answered one of my tweets last month!

He is https://twitter.com/xtcfans is you follow twitter. He is a mellow dude

[Coventina]

38. That is beyond awesome! I would give a finger or two to see them play live, ever.

But I doubt it will ever happen.....

"Mayor of Simpleton" is one of my favorite songs.
Andy Partridge is a musical and lyrical genius.

[Kolesar]

41. Andy had social anxiety

His girlfriend dumped his valium before he had to perform. The concert went badly. Hence, not many live shows.
I've been trying zoloft and yoga for the same thing. I have destressed my life on other accounts and have a good support network: my wife.

[Coventina]

43. Yeah, I had heard the same about him. And, I sympathize. I have (mild) social anxiety myself.

And of course, his health and well-being is primary over satisfying fans.

I have a copy of that old punk/new wave movie, "Urgh! A Music War" with rare live footage of XTC, before Andy quit playing concerts.
I cherish it....

[Kolesar]

46. There is a web page about Urgh! I was reading a few years ago

I bought it on vinyl in 1981, IIRC

20. The Bee Gees

They were consummate performers, and also wrote many of the biggest hits for other artists in the 60's. 70's, 80's, 90's, and into the 2000's. They were amazing...

They were really out there. The one saxophonist jammed a big mailing tube down the horn of his bass sax and blasted music out into the crowd.

[Coventina]

45. Wow! We are really on the same page, musically! TMBG!

I see them every chance I get!!!!
