A-Z of Rock Legends
Just thought it would be a great idea to list a profile of post 60's Rock groups that have shaped the music of today.. these pioneers of Rock deserve regcognition....feel free to add your own Legends Of Rock..
I have not yet compiled the whole list but will be adding as I go on. A: ASWAD first came on the scene with the hard hitting single "don't turn around".. one particular line within the lyrics - "don't turn around,if you wanna see my heart breaking..just walk away, if you wanna see me crying" was seen as a new era of writing. B B*withched They released their debut single "cest la vie" and hit No1 within 2 weeks, this all girl irish band paved the way for later bands such as The Cranberry's C Cassidy David Solo artist whose hard hitting rock classics still influence bands like the Artic Monkeys..songs "walkin in the rain" and "could it be forever" are installed as classics. D Dollar One needs to look no further than this new wave rock duo for "in yer face" hard hitting lyrics "who where you with in the moonlight" sums up the influence Thereza Bazar and the great lyricist David Van Day had on Rock as we now know it. (next list soon) |

When we get round to M it has to be Marc Bolan and T Rex, Well before their time OMHO. "You're built like a car, you got a hub cap diamond star halo, you're built like a car oh yeah", what a great chat up line from Get It On.

Lieutenant Pigeon - keyboard driven, instrumental mayhem with surrealist overtones...a huge, yet rarely acknowledged, influence on the Madchester bands.

Re: A-Z of Rock Legends
Middle Of The Road - who can forget those early 70's musical revolutionaries with their breathtaking new concepts in harmony and melody, allied to darkly perceptive lyrics dealing with the angst of parental loss.
"Last night I heard my mama singing this song, oh-we, chirpy chirpy cheep cheep, woke up this morning and my mama was gone, oh-we chirpy chirpy cheep cheep, chirpy chirpy cheep cheep chirp." Almost Byronesque in its understated, yet chillingly vivid poetic elegance. It goes without saying that it was a significant influence on the young Morrissey. |
Re: A-Z of Rock Legends
OK M.... Martine McCutcheon
Martine's own brand of hard hitting rock burst on the scene with "This Is My Moment".. a world wide acclaimed song with up your's lyrics such as Tell me you love me the moment you leave You're more than a shadow, I've got to believe I wish I could keep you all of my life The way that I feel for you inside Hard Rock had changed forever. |
Re: A-Z of Rock Legends
I though Martine was going to be the new Clodagh Rogers.
She sadly didn't fulfill her earlier potential. |

Re: A-Z of Rock Legends
there can only be 1 B for me mancie mate- Bowie who had many differant faces/bands in that era, all top class as well. i take me hat off to a guy who can change like a chameleon with the times.;)

Re: A-Z of Rock Legends
Didn't the original post say influential 60s rock groups? B*witched, 60s, rock group? What the hell? That doesn't add up to me. I agree with Cashman; Bowie is an influence that can't be ignored, beats B*witched, who aren't from the 60s, are not a rock group and have no influence over todays music whatsoever.

Anyway I would go along with Bowie..his first five albums were brilliant (Man who Sold The World,Hunky Dory,Space Oddity,Ziggy Stardust and Aladin Sane. I recall all five being in the top 15 of the album charts at the same time! |
