So much of the late '60s and early '70s music was whiny-assed anti-war crap. Listen to the lyrics of that era. It's just not something I like to listen to these days. Granted, there were a lot of great rock bands then, but so much of that music sounds the same....

now THAT's funny! I still can't see how anyone can keep from laughing at this scene.... Apparently, he wasn't a fan of "whiney-assed" music either!
 
Yeah, Eric Burdon & The Animals, Cream, Steppenwolf, and the end of the sixties brought us Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin. I also liked some of the more mainstream pop/ Top 40 songs from the sixties as well. I liked the music of the early seventies, but in the mid-seventies it seemed all of the Rock was pushed off the airwaves by Disco. That was the main reason why I started to hate Disco. Growing up in Winnipeg, the best chance of hearing any Rock was listening to "KY-58" or CFRW-1470, a couple of AM stations that are both long gone. The other best chance to hear any Rock was KFYR-550 out of Bismarck, ND. At night, I used to listen to WLS-890, KSTP-1500 and KOMA-1520, but even they were starting to play way too much Disco, IMO.

Around 1978 or so, 92-CITI-FM went on the air in Winnipeg as an "Album Rock" FM station and I loved it. Apparently I wasn't the only one who hated Disco, because one of their DJs, "Brother" Jake Edwards and his band recorded this sometime around '79 or '80. Anyone who was anywhere near Winnipeg around that time will, no doubt, remember this.

Too many to list as my taste can run from the Four Tops to AC/DC. From Brahms and Taichowsky to Nirvana. Beach Boys to Metallica. If it has a beat I like and the song rocks then I will like it. Even Taichowsky's 1812 Overture rocks.

Who saw the Grammy's. it was on in the house and the intro was AC/DC which surprised the hell out of me and loved it. Then I walked away until later when I heard the distinctive sound of ELO's Evil Woman starting and ran back. Wow, when was the last time I heard that song. I was rockin' to it just as much as McCartney was in the aisle. Made me find an ELO CD to lay the songs down on my iPod.

Granted, there were a lot of great rock bands then, but so much of that music sounds the same. I really started liking he music of the day in the mid-'70s, when bands like Rush and others were hitting the music scene. Since Disco was the big thing then, and all the local stations played that crap, Album Rock was the thing to listen to to counter that horrible time in popular music. Country was even worse!

I remember in the late '70s, when I was working at two different radio stations (not at the same time!). The college station was pretty much free-form, with nearly no structured programming or playlists. I had the 8am to noon shift M-F then, and had a ball! I was exposed to so much different music of all types - rock, c/w, jazz, blues - that every day on the air was a new day! After I quit college (no scholarships and no Mom & Dad S&L), I started at a 1000-watt AM station in my town. The station manager was a very anal nitwit, but the sports director was an old radio guy who started in the late '40s. Learned tons about radio from him! And, even though I was on a fairly rigid C&W Top 40 playlist, I had a bit of leeway in adding different artists to the mix. I even snuck in the Rolling Stones' "Wild Horses" in one evening! The manager called me while I was on and asked "Who is that? That's a great song!"...and when I replied "The Stones", you'd have thought I shot his dog or something.

So, as for my music, I like the late '70s/early '80s album rock/arena rock bands. Plus bands like the Doors, Hendrix, CCR, and Pink Floyd. Not much on country at all! I had to play that crap on the radio.
