Oh man, thanks for the reminder!!! I saw them at a ZZ Top concert once, as the introductory band...they played the Jimmy Hendrix version of the Star Spangled Banner...it was so quiet in the audience it was unbelievable!!! On teh last note the lead guitarist just layed his guitar on teh stage with it still reverberating through the hall, and the crowd went ballistic!!!! I will never forget that!!!

I don't think there is anyone listed above that I don't like. I can do some Supremes from time to time (the harmony's)... and Frank (after a few beers who doesn't like “My Way”) but Boston is first on my list. A few mentionable’s are, Foghat, Black Sabbath (with Ozzy and Ronny), B-52’s and the Cars. A couple you probably never herd of.. Crack the Sky (best band that never made it nationally) and Klaatu.

Can't leave out Dire Straits. I loved the lyrics to their songs. "Sultans of Swing", " Gotta move them refrigerators, gotta move them color TV's".

Too many off-track votes here for 80's and even some 90's bands.

Without a doubt.........RUSH!<br /><br />Neil Peart is the most talented drummer ever to walk on this planet.......imo.<br /><br />Their music brings back nothing but good memories for me. Unless your a Rush fan, then you haven't heard most of their good music.
