Iconic, passing of an era. And as you say, no new direction unlike Lennon and Mcartney (even if splitsville). Personal tragedy also played a part

Words And Music Blast From The Past: Old Rocks That Never Rot
- Thread starter Ramseth
- Start date
As for staying power as group, got to hand it over to the Rolling Stones. From the mid 60s "second string" to the Beatles, through the 70s "greatest rock'n'roll band" till the 2000s "grandfathers of rock".
The Rolling Stones album Sticky Fingers seldom appear on any favorite list, but I think it's one of the best. Many people quote Brown Sugar but few quote its motherboard album Sticky Fingers (try amazon.com etc., because I think it's still banned in Singapore.) The other great Rolling Stones albums are of course Beggars Banquet and Let It Bleed, very frequently quoted by critiques as rock essentials.

For female singers, i believe bro Ramseth, just like i may be, shd be more biased towards crooners like Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris or Joni Mitchell. For Ronstadt, just get her record titled 'Retrospective' and you ll cover most of her songs except for those she did when she freaked out temporarily and did a spanish and a big band album.
Btw, i think the Bee Gees where never short of talent for change. They began as a more than good pop group in the early seventies with hits like Marley Purt Drive, I started a Joke, To Love Somebody to name a few. A decade after that, they evolved and in fact spearheaded the 'Disco Fever' of the eighties. One of the great groups, in my humble opinion. Rest In Peace, Maurice Gibbs. :p

Take Me Back To Chicago...by the group Chicago of course.
Anybody recall pop group Love Affair, big hit Bringing On Back the Good Times. Some1 did retro version few years back.
Hot Chocolate, Shocking Blue (their Venus redone by Banarama)
Too bad, not quite qualify here for lasting effect
Deviating a bit, I used to enjoy rock opera Jesus Christ Superstar (no offence to church).. spectrum of faith thru great music. Evonne Elliman with her stirring rendition of I just don't know how to love him

Nice lyrical teaser. But pls don't serenade too much at Pussydon ok. Yours is supposed to be the microphone piece, and sung to by puyings:p
Twenty - five years and my life is still...Trying to get up that great big hill of hope...For a destination...And I realized quickly when I knew I should...That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man......?

enjoy yourself but come back in one piece else the Blues's thread will miss you.
Good choice for a popular teaser bro JWNY.
Anyone remember which song this few lines are from:
"The road is long. With many a winding turn.
That leads us to who knows where
