Posted - 11/08/2011 : 7:28:52 PM I'm starting this thread to both share with everyone my favorite music and to also experience music I'm not familiar with. Since we all have our favorites my hope is that everyone will participate. Please, lets have some fun. My plan is to post links to videos of my favorite songs and for all of you to do the same.
Being a child of the 70s, my favorite music is classic rock, but I also enjoy classical, pop, country and more. My favorite band by far is The Who, followed by Pink Floyd and Pearl Jam.
I'll start this thread with my all time favorite song. It's by The Who and it's their biggest hit, "Won't Get Fooled Again". Because of Pete's famous line in this song "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss" I felt it was most appropriate to post this song on election day. That line isn't referring to the latest politician elected, as is the most common interpretation, but is instead Pete telling us that we the people are the boss and always have been the boss. I hope all of you went out today and voted and exercised your power to be the boss.
I'm going to post two versions of this song. The first is of the master, Pete Townshend (a modern day Mozart), playing the song solo on acoustic guitar and a more traditional version of The Who playing the song live.

Posted - 08/10/2019 : 06:44:16 AM This is going to be a little different and hearing through your computer or phone won't do it justice. But hearing this on a very good stereo and hearing a huge soundstage filling the front of your room is magical.

Posted - 05/19/2019 : 07:02:59 AM Something a little different today. Not a favorite but a Happy Birthday salute to my favorite artist, Pete Townshend. Today is his 74'th birthday and is still out there touring and writing new songs. Here's a pic I took of him at a book signing.
Got to include a song too.
