Everytime we get in my truck, my seven year old grandson asks to hear Foghat. One of my all-time favorite bands.
They had some good ones!! I truly miss 'em!!

Was able to get a hold of six CDs for the little Honda i drove to work, back when i went to a building, before this insanity. Turns out you can turn it ALL the way up and not blow out the speakers
The Who is best enjoyed at high enough pressures so that one can enjoy all the nuances, such as John Entwistle on Lead Bass
Oh, and it may also lead to quite enthusiastic driving

I almost forgot about Fleetwood Mac. Lots of drama and turmoil within the band but they made some dang good music.

Leslie West playing with Mountain was my downfall! Nantucket Sleighride was the hook that was set.

In the 60's for me it was summer, muscle cars and the Beach Boys.

If I could have as much fun, freedom and good music as the summer of '79 I'd call it good and die happy.

At the risk of dating myself I think my all time favorite was, and still is, Benny Goodman and his band.
