Musical Journey

[mudkicker]

OK don't laugh but I have been getting into 70s rock like fox on the run(sweet), children of the sun(can't remember the artist) found a copy of Traffics Mr. Fantsy. Looking for other early and mid 70s groups to check out. I have some early Journey before Steve Perry, Sabbath, Deep purple. I'm looking for some of the not so popular stuff thats not on classic radio.

Re: Musical Journey

Billy Thorpe is still a great performer. Powerful voice and a pretty handy guitarist to boot! Not bad for a dude who started his professional career as a Teen Idol. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Musical Journey

On a whim I pulled out my Lp collection which I haven't looked at for 18 years. Most of the bands you guys listed have songs on several K-Tel albums I have don't laugh because you have a couple also. [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

April Wine - "I Like to Rock"
Thin Lizzy - "The Boys are Back in Town" "Cowboy"
Argent - "Hold Your Head Up"
Jefferson Starship - "Jane" "Rock `n` Roll is Good Time Music"
Mott the Hoople - "All the Young Dudes"

I don't think I've heard of Point Blank, though. What did they play that I might have heard?

Re: Musical Journey

Point Blank had a song called "Nicole" that got a lot of FM airplay.

Great song....we used to gig it....love the chorus......

I have it on tape...but it is long out of print.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Was this the one that went...

"Oh, Nicole
My sweet Nicole..."

etc...?

Re: Musical Journey

Yes....that is the elusive, classic Nicole by Point Blank...I have the Casette which was American Excess....it is a great song I thought...nothing spectacular guitar wise, but a good song... [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

KING CRIMSON

Weird and different, and Robert Fripp is an incredible guitarist. Their stuff is really whack at times, but very interesting. They have been around for FOUR DECADES!
