Post #122,369 by jb4 10/22/03 11:41:12 AM Reply	Nightowl's list First, thanks for the feedback. Second, thanks for reminding me about Light my Fire. Any song tht could so visibly piss off Ed Sullivan is most worthy of consideration. Boho -- YMMV, but I consider that ore "art rock" than RnR. IMHO, if you can't play it live, it aint Rock, and even today, with the technological wizardry that bands can bring to bear on live performances (ref. Justin Timberlake or good-ol' Whazzerface), you still can't do Boho live with under 40 people. ;-) jb4 "There are two ways for you to have lower Prescription-drug costs.

Post #122,371 by Nightowl 10/22/03 12:00:49 PM Reply	Re: Nightowl's list I wondered if Bohemian Rhapsody was something besides Rock and Roll, but wouldn't that make ELO and other bands which use more instruments not Rock and Roll then? Not sure... I'm an Owl hooked on the 1970's music. ;) Nightowl >8# "I learned to be the door, instead of the mat!" "illegitimi nil carborundum" Comment by Nightowl
