70's and 80's Music

[tv1a]

Sweet Child O' Mine is the best ROCK guitar ever. Slash pulled out every emotion possible in that song.

A pastor friend and I were talking about who the better guitarist was . He claimed Eddie Van Halen. I said Slash was better.

We agreed EVH may have been better technically, but no one was better than Slash during the GNR days in bringing out the emotion in a guitar. Slash was and is a better player. When Van Halen was inducted into the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame, Velvet Revolver, Slash's current band substitued for VH and played some of their tunes...

Stevie Ray Vaughn!!!!!!!!!!!! I bow to your wisdom and great taste in music... Although I will question the Kenny Rogers choice. I don't remember BloodRock.

Chicago, 3 Dog, Bread (just for you Renda), I was a huge Motown fan, Ronnie Milsap was good, loved most all Southern Rock ZZ Top, Led Zeplin, did a lot of Kenny Rogers (mostly his older stuff), Leon Russel (loved up on a tightwire), Bob Dylan for his lyrics, Santana was always good, BloodRock was about as sick as I got, I loved Chuck Mangione and his flugle horn, Stevie wonder was on the list ..... BUT

My number one Stevie was my main man, the now late but still great





Stevie Ray Vaugh!

Obviously, Oneness Pentecost did not put out any music in the 70's-80's. At least, not one has been named in the first four pages.....

In the 70's I was a big James Taylor and Carole King fan. In the 80's, I only listened to Christian music, so I have no idea who anyone was during that era!!

OOPs, I forgot James Taylor and Carol King.... Carol singing James' songs or Carol Singing Carol's songs or James singing James' songs was great music. "winter, spring, summer or fall, all you gotta do is call and I'll be there yes i will... Now ain't it good to know that you've got a friend when people can be so cold... they'll hurt you and desert you... they'll take your soul if you let them... ahhh but don't you let them... You just call out my name!

That could be and has been sang in church with a God focus with great impact!

Sis. Sherri, I am a little older than you...I started listening to gospel in the early 70s when I started to church.....but wow, I remember those songs of the 60s and early 70s. Yep - and I loved James Taylor and Carole King...

Bloodrock was early 70s and they had a hit with an overdose song called DOA... wailing sirens and all!

The Kenny Rogers stuff I am referring to is when he was with the First Edition and sang a lot of anti war stuff in the early 70s. He was a contemporary with Dylan and had much the same focus. He was not always a country icon. Do you remember "I just dropped by to see What condition my condition was in?"

(Yeah, yeah, oh-yeah, what condition my condition was in)

I woke up this mornin' with the sundown shinin' in
I found my mind in a brown paper bag within
I tripped on a cloud and fell-a eight miles high
I tore my mind on a jagged sky
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in

(Yeah, yeah, oh-yeah, what condition my condition was in)

I pushed my soul in a deep dark hole and then I followed it in
I watched myself crawlin' out as I was a-crawlin' in
I got up so tight I couldn't unwind
I saw so much I broke my mind
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in

(Yeah, yeah, oh-yeah, what condition my condition was in)

Someone painted "April Fool" in big black letters on a "Dead End" sign
I had my foot on the gas as I left the road and blew out my mind
Eight miles outta Memphis and I got no spare
Eight miles straight up downtown somewhere
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in

I said I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in
Yeah yeah oh-yeah

The decidedly desperate and sad lyrics of a generation!
