What are you listening to today?

[Beatriz]

Jethro Tull and Yes are two of my favorite bands ❤️

 

For @Shay, another beautiful Tull song, "Wond'ring aloud".

"And it's only the giving that makes you what you are"

 

 

For @Erica Gabriel, one of my favorite songs in Yes' "Going for the one" album, "Parallels", with a wonderful organ sound.

"Parallel our sights and we will find that we need to be where we belong"

@BeatrizJethro Tull was one of my brothers' favorite bands and he particularly loved Aqualung. He passed away very young in a car accident.  I am playing the album and remembering happy times. Thank You!

[Beatriz]

@miz miranda Big hugs!

I’m sorry for the loss of your brother. This is a special album for me also.

I heard Jukebox Hero yesterday and reminded me how I especially liked the early work of this band that formed out of 2 of my favorite bands - Spooky Tooth and King Krimson..............

A recent post of @Elizabeth Star on what family actually means reminded me of the emblematic Jane's Addiction song "Three Days"

 

"We choose no kin but adopted strangers.
The family weakens by the lengths we travel.

 

All of us with wings..."

@Beatrizdeep vocal harmonies, such lush bass overtones, and wicked guitar solos......dig those time sig changes, Jane's Addiction ahead of it's time...

A little rock I liked early on

Remember this one?

A largely forgotten pioneer Wanda Jackson: 'Queen of Rockabilly'

 

 

 

 

 

[Beatriz]

@Shay, what's the last song you posted? It does not show for me due to copyright issues in my country (go figure).

 

@miz miranda Thanks! I love Wanda Jackson and had not listened to her in a while. "When I start erupting ain't nobody gonna make me stop". Well said, Wanda!

RIP, Dusty Hill. RIP, ZZ Top. Dusty Hill’s voice, tone and passion for the blues lifted ZZ Top into greatness.

@Shay yes that was one of my favorites I plum wore out a couple of 8 track tapes playing it so much.

[miz miranda]

@Shay Good choice. I just love Grace Slick's vocals and the harmonies with Marty Balin.

 

This was the first album I bought to irritate my father and it sure worked.

Having lived in Toledo, Ohio in the 60's and part of the 70's - I remember the vibrant rock scene in the Detroit/Ann Arbor area. I'm reading a book called Detroit Rock City with interviews with people I remember and their comments are priceless from MC5, John Sinclair, Bob Seger, Scott Richardson, radio jocks from WABX (my first underground progressive rock station - I remember them playing full album sides of Zeppelin II). Here is one of those bands...........
