........................ it seems like we are all 40-70 years old !!

Some are older

I’ve read through 3 pages now.... what is apparent is most people are ‘heavy metal’ fans. Not once has SLADE been mentioned.... a HUGE band in the 70’s. I refuse to delve any further into this thread! OOooooohhh....... I tell you, I’m All Crazee Now.!

a) probably means the Mk I and Mk II versions.... would agree on MkI

b)...at the speculated age group of respondents, it would be perfectly acceptable to .... oh, I forgotten what I was going to say now.

For me it's possible correct, though only mid 40's

But the age is interesting, the reality is great bands don't really exist anymore as big cultural/musical influences and haven't done for 20 years

My 15yo son is into a lot of modern hip-hop music, but also is continually playing 70's and 80's bands. (80's music sounds are seemingly having a revival). You'd probablty get similar answers from anyone that is actually into their music

[Siggy61]

Walter trout
Bruce Springsteen
Joe bonamassa
Blackfoot
Oasis
Rolling Stones
Led Zeppelin
Pink floyd
Guns n roses
CCR

At this moment my list is:
