Welcome to my world..... the one with real musicians playing real musical instruments. Playing songs they wrote.
It's a refreshing change from the rest of the "Musik Industry"

BTW, I am on tap for working this band this summer.

Not that there's anything wrong with that ;) :p

You do realize that there are still bands that write their own songs and play instruments, right?

Just because they aren't from 1974 doesn't mean they suck.

I liked the Band when when they first came out and were a little edgier (Space Cowboy and Living in the USA) Afterwards they were too mainstream and popish for my liking.

Yep, SMB is great. Good musicians still exist, they're just hard to find as phlegMTV and co. aren't spoonfeeding them to the world's youth & drooling TV vegetables. And of course many talented one give in to the temptation to sell out.

That was how I felt about them back then as well. Of course now when I hear them it brings back a flood of memories and I tend to like them because of that I guess.

Another one of my Favorite back them was the "James Gang" Joe Walsh's first band before he went solo and then joined the Easy Listening Rock Group "The Eagles"

ATOT members are always posting things I've considered posting myself. Yes, after growing increasingly sick and tired of the same hackneyed crap on the radio these days I have gravitated more and more to "classic rock" and oldies. I have rediscovered how damn good those old bands were like Steve Miller Band and Creedence Clearwater Revival. They have staying power for a reason.

SMB, Journey, Stixx, Jerry Lee Louis and a bunch more are going to be playing in Memphis at the beginning of May. I would love to see that concert!! I am less than four hours away but the timing isn't right for me.
