It was. I was also just a kid in the 70s, but my parents used to rock it out whenever it came on the radio. I missed out on a lot of good music in the early 80s.

I lived in Germany from 79-82, and it was mostly whatever my parents listened to. Billy Joel’s Glass Houses, was about the newest thing they played. Lots of Neil Diamond and Barbara Streisand, and The Carpenters.

Actually, I take that back, my mom was in love with the Thriller album. She had a brand new 315i and we rocked that on the Blaupunkt.

There is a lot of music that’s “overseas” (to me, anyway) which is widely unknown in western culture, but is just mind blowing.

Right, now, most people haven’t heard of this guys, he sings in like 13 different languages and just keeps blowing my mind. And you never hear a word about him in the music community. He has a tight knit group of people that listen to him, and he actually had a concert in New York, at the Barclays center, right before the pandemic, and it sold out.

Nice info. Thanks. Greatly appreciated, I can somewhat relate. But I'm only a (Flying) Dutchman(when I jump out of a three floor window, sorry I hate the landing part.)
So you're saying your folks were 'overhere' in Germany(in the(US) army) overhere back then?

Anyway:

Jeff Lynne looks like one of our daughter's dogs

And still does....

Yes, both of my parents were Air Force. Father was stationed in Ramstein and mother at Vogelweh, Kaiserslautern.

Roger Nelson may he rest in peace.
My name is Ro(bin) Ger(hard), RoGer and also son of Nel, my mum(RIP), absolutely not kidding....
I have to find a bond(...) with that artist formerly alive(....) but I really like Prince and love his music. Sheena was fit at that time.

Forgot to quote that one about Dolores O'Riordan, really sad, her voice was unmistakable.

Diana Ross, Chaka Kahn, Whitney

But most of all at that time Sheila.

Still spot on I guess. OK I'm almost a Boomer and this is A Night At The Museum, but come on, when was it that you heard real music for the last time?

Cheers

Ya, don't wanna derail this thread but man Sheila E was the bomb!

We visited Jim's grave in Paris Pere Lachaise cemetery about 25 (let's make that 30, old man I am) years ago: as I recall a few hippies were still mourning and dancing there and they probably will in year(s) to come

Robby Krieger did not join the Black Eyed Peas...a chance not taken....

Robin_NL · 12-30-2022, 04:33 PM

After WW1 (1914-1918) Germany was defeated and got their share: most of all by the Treaty of Versailles, which meant in short: France WILL BE the boss of continental Europe...
In the early 1920's Germany got almost bankrupt, hyperinflation, poverty etcetera.

Anyway it's all about the money and (police)BMW's!

And women and beer and football and so on and on...

Cheers
Robin
