Question for the baby boomers on this forum regarding our generation of rock music

[Michaelsherry59]

Which rock bands do you feel defined our generation? Unlike generation X, we grew up during a wonderful period for rock and roll, specifically from 1964-1975

I'll list my top 10, I'm from the UK as well so there might be some British bands I remember specifically that were huge in the UK (except The Beatles who were huge across the globe)

1. The Beatles
2. The Rolling Stones
3. The Jimi Hendrix Experience
4. The Doors
5. Led Zeppelin
6. Pink Floyd
7. Queen
8. Velvet Underground
9. T Rex
10. The Eagles

What about you guys?

She made my frizzy, unruly hair my best feature!

Rock and Roll died the day Buddy Holly's plane crashed.

[Mr Natural]

Yardbirds
Dave Clark 5
Mamas and Papas

 

[Gracie]

Santana, Blue Cheer, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, Cat Stevens.

I still like all those groups. What I am tired of is the local rock station maybe plays two of the same songs by each group over and over and over until I eventually hate it.

One group I always hated though, was Queen. I hear Bohemian Rhapsody one more time, people are gonna die.

I haven't seen Fleetwood Mac put on the list of favorites, so I will add as one of mine.

 

[petro]

Santana, Blue Cheer, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, Cat Stevens.

Santana, hell yeah!!!
