What Rock Band/Album 70’s Through 80’s Would Still Be a Hit if Released Today?

[mudwhistle]

we used to get stoned and go to Laserium at Pacific Science Center and watch & listen to Pink Floyd. AWESOME experience

I didn't have to get stoned. Back then, you just buy a ticket, sit down, and pretty soon someone passed you a joint.

Sick high up enough, and you can get stoned from all the second-hand pot smoke!

 

[bluzman61]

I think the music of Elton John or David Bowie would still be relevant today.

IDK about other venues, but in Seattle the chairs would lay you back, or you laid on the floor to watch the show within the dome ceiling.

With us it was Laserium at Griffith Park. Plenty of hemp rolled.

The Eagles would still be relevant.
Same with Queen.

WTF is a doser????

A user of lysergic acid #25.
It's raining so hard right now in Fl.
Does not feel natural, but kinda does because of solid rain.
The birdbath got filled in 1/2 hr.
Rain is serious. I thank God for it. It provides life.

 

[hjmick]

Not a single one.

In today's 3 minute world, an album doesn't fit into the instant gratification society. They buy a single nowadays, not albums. Just imagine someone today, someone who didn't grow up in the era of great music and licorice pizza sitting down and actually listening to the music, the lyrics, the production... never going to happen.

No album, from the '70s, '80s, even the '90s, would be a "hit" today.

LSD????? Oh nooooo, no, no, no. Not this girl. Smoke mostly.....so yes a stoner. Anything else, was percodan (the real stuff), valium and speed......just not at the same time. I steered clear of anything hallucinogenic


No rain here in atleast a couple of weeks.

 

[Blaster]

Most of the rock groups in the 80s were into cocaine.

 

[odanny]

Let's remember the 70's for what it was, and always will be.

Doubtful as much as I love Bowie. Its all about the shitty teverb fake instruments now..#yesiamanoldfuck

Well we're looking at like 9 inches in 2-3 hrs now.
Idk what the trees will do. This actually is unprecedented here, afaik.
The grill is still stacked up against the back just like I did it when I didn't even live here in 2005.
Nobody would take that. I'll have to junk it.
Thing got maybe 2 uses, but cheap made grills and FL salt air?
I wouldn't bet on that thing. All the parts probably done corroded by now.
Man, It's kinda hard to say "Hey man, this is unnaturally hard rain in FL."
Because it's FL.
But this shit here I saw today is maximum drenchage I've ever seen around here.
Today was that FL rain meme. With moar rain.

Put the songs in a movie soundtrack and they become an instant hit.

Guardians of The Galaxy proved that.

They weren't bad in the 1st place.

You have hurricanes.....we don't

Best I can find here is for Seattle in one day.......which was 5 inches on Oct. 20, 2003


It's not that we get alot of rain at one time, like the South......but we do get some kind of precipitation more often. ......like a leaky faucet

As for the trees??? Hard to tell since you have different types than here, but when our trees and soil are saturated from heavy rains for days on end......we get landslides and trees can be uprooted.

Now stop derailing the thread....

 

[Eman623]

Every generation thinks the music of their teen and early adult years was the best ever and everything else before or since is crap

But i think a lot of Disco would still play well today. In fact i know it does if my daughter and her friends are any indication.

 

[Jantje_Smit]

Like Handel, Bach, Beethoven, or Mozart?

I'm not sure about Handel, Bach and Beethoven but Mozart should work..

Bah, you see the sun once every couple weeks, maybe.
13 days of cloudy with 3 of misting rain and 1 day of sun in 2 weeks.
Oh, oh, you might get 2 days of sun in 2 weeks, sometimes.
I never forget the weather there, or the fish market.
Or this motorcycle game at the back of the fish market.
Never seen anything like that before or since.
It was..a mechanical video game? Way different than the claw..

Mozart, you say? Cows frolic in the fields at night to this:

It isn't credited, but I'm pretty sure this is the Austrian Orchestra. It's a good version.
