I began to realize how far out of it I was regarding recent rock music when a review of the 5th record by an apparently well-known band that I had never heard of referenced a “legendary” band from the early ’90’s that I had never heard of either.
Please tell me no of these are actual bands of today! I knew how out of touch I was about 10 years ago. I was still working & at lunch was glancing through a magazine called IN Touch someone had left there & I think I had heard of 2 people in the whole magazine.
I remember when Styx was a local band and my sister used to ride the train into downtown Chicago with Dennis De Young. My cousin is also in the tribute band Led Zeppelin 2.

Then there are the oldies but goodies tribute bands, which don’t come even close to the bands they are honoring.

The Beach Boys are still touring with two original members, including Brian Wilson.

I guess I’m a long term plugger…

What puzzles me is why modern female vocalists have to sing through their noses and / or screech. Have I been listening to Nico too long?

Yeah, we pluggers miss the bands with normal names, like Grateful Dead, Strawberry Alarm Clock, ? and the Mysterians. :))
