Old Rockers never die, they just get more wrinkly?

Every once in a while I put on Styx Equinox. Suite Madam Blue, no matter how it starts out, cannot be played loud enough. Loved it in the 70’s when as a student I got the metaphor. For some reason its even better now. Oh yeah, I know the reason! The chorus!
AMERICA! America america america!AMERICA! America america america!AMERICA! America america america! AMERICA! America america america!
Whoa! Head rush!Didn’t know it then, but know it now: mastered by Doug Sax at The Mastering Lab.Sweet madam blue, gaze in your looking glass, you’re not a child any moreSweet madam blue, the future is all but past, so raise up your heart, make a new start, lead us away from here
As it once was. So shall it ever be.

Back in the day (mid-60s). The Beatles & The Rolling Stones were IT. No others need apply. But of course, there was room for more...

For me, of the Brit blues-rock bands, Cream was the best (regardless of what bdp thinks of ’em). If not "best" in an objective sense, my favorite. Something like 40 years later, they only improved based on the Royal Albert Hall reunion which I think was 2005.

Can’t leave out Led Zeppelin. High school study hall with friends playing their first over and over on one of those portable one speaker record player boxes.

I remember people raving in ’70/’71 about Deep Purple’s "In Rock" well before DP became a "household name", as it were.

On the US side of the ocean: Leslie West & Mountain. The first two: Climbing & Nantucket Sleigh Ride.

Always had a soft spot for MC5 (Kick Out The Jams).
Another bdp fave.

Allman Brothers Band - a little late picking up on them: Beginnings and At Fillmore East (probably ’72/’74 before I heard them).

Back to your side of the ocean. Rory Gallagher though I was really late to that party. I do remember owning Tattoo (released in ’73).

I’m guessing I’ve got 10 years more of wrinkle time than you, U ;-)

With the possible exception of MC5, I can listen (and do) to all the above and think they are fantastic.

Just turned the big 60 last week!

I guess I am really just enjoying delving back into my past via music and the memories a song can bring back.
And the emotion and reactions to my first deep musical loves!

Our preferred Styx album was The Grand Illusion blasting out over the student common room stereo!
Come Sail Away indeed!
Ah memories ..........

U - A belated "Happy Birthday". 
Live to see many more in health and happiness.  

(truth be known, closer to 20 on you...but who's counting).
