...Playing stuff they produced before 1983.
Rocks is one of my favs.
Piece of Mind from Iron Maiden came out in 1983.
Rock bands in the 1980's all sounded similar ... Mount Rushmore remains uncarved.

I know how peeps like the scorpions but they are one of the bands I just don't like. I have a few that I just can't take.

I only know them from one song and that fucked up Virgin Killer album cover. The album cover put me off and Rock you Like a Hurricane didn’t warrant a deeper dive

In late 70's I lived in the New Orleans area. A kid wore a concert tshirt his parents must have gotten. I always thought it was cool. Then as older I got I was exposed to them on a larger scale (classic rock stations).
Same place i remember hearing first The Police song. My brother and I were pushing a Trans-Am out of a flood in the street and guy had it on the radio. I was hooked on there shit for awhile.
But that was also when I listened to Dr. Demento show. Let's not forget disco duck was on the radio as well. Crazy era for music.
Zz Top's music in the 70s was the cat's ass. Their 80s stuff was too commercial for me.
Love the Cars and the cars in the 70s too

I can't think of a band I hate more than U2.
Put out one decent album and have been buttfucking the shit out of it since.

Being generous calling any U2 album decent IMO. Never heard a song by them that I liked at all

I was trying to be objective. They suck barrels of dicks.
I saw the Grateful Dead on an off night for them ... worse than a Yoko Ono concert.

I once said that Conway Twitty’s retarded son, Michael opening for George Jones, sounding terrible and running so long that they had to cut power because George Jones was threatening to leave was the worst concert I’ve been to. That was until I saw Bob Dylan last year. I love Bob Dylan, but his song choice sucked and he sounded terrible, and I don’t go for the age excuse. I saw Merle Haggard about a year before he died and he sounded just like he did on the radio
I saw George and Confederate Railroad a little over a year before he passed. He didn't have the voice of his youth, and couldn't hit/hold notes like he was young but IMHO he sounded better for it. Bob is THE wordsmith.

I used to see George every year as a kid. Front row at Lanier Land. He was my favorite at the time. Still hold him in high regard
He would no show our area. Buying tickets were a gamble, at best. And yes, I loved him too.
