[Mikey]

The first album thread got me thinking ......
What was your top 5 fav musical groups/performers back in the day ?
As you know, over time (today) sometimes tastes change.
Thought this might be interesting.

My "back in the day" would be the 70's
At the time, my top fav's were

Lynyrd Skynyrd
Beatles
Chicago
Bee Gees
The Guess Who

AC/DC
KISS
Firehouse
Motley Crue
Dokken
Van Halen
Iron Maiden

GNR
Elvis
Reo Speedwagon

By the way I still listen to them all and probably always will

I was mostly into rock and progressive stuff and still am to a lesser degree today. Here are my all-time favs from years past

Styx - both pre and post Tommy Shaw. DeYoung is my favorite vocalist ever.
Kansas - I love Steve Walsh and liked a lot of Elephante
Journey - A little poppy toward the end of the Perry era
Triumph - Rik Emmit is a huge musical inspiration for me

Now I'm huge into prog metal and juist metal in general.

KISS
Styx
Boston
ELO
Queen
Rolling Stones

Back in the day (70s), my mom only listened to a radio station which played Big Band...so I guess Glenn Miller & his Orchestra.

And some Bee Gees.

The first "artist" I clicked back in the day was Elton John. Still a fan of that era EJ stuff.
