Anyways i've been getting tired of the current music that I generally listen to these days and my father subliminally pushing his favorite music on me is starting to take effect. So far he's got me listening to the Beatles, Van Halen and The Clash. To a lesser extent The Pouges and The Cure. Recently he's got me on Fleetwood Mac too, so if someone can reccommend me something outside of The Chain, i'd be happy.

Anyways my main point. Tell me some stuff from around the 70's-80's time period that I have missed... but nothing like AC\DC, Maiden etc. alright, GO!

My father's been pushing Boston for a while, good?

I'm not really a fan. They fit into the whole "corporate rock" genre- very heavy on production, too many effects, too "cheery," etc. Their music was weak on the whole, IMO.

Led frickin' Zepplin.

Bruce Springsteen has always been a dirty pleasure. His lyrics suck me in and since you are a Cash fan you shouldl like him.

Check out Iggy and the Stooges if you haven't already, all three albums they put out were great. Songs: Your pretty face is going to hell (turn this one up really loud), Penetration, Raw Power, I wanna be your dog, No Fun, T.V. Eye, and L.A. Blues.

The Cramps, a band who originated in the late 1970s, still tour and record at this present time. They had a mixture of surf, rockabilly, and garage thrown in for a great sound. Songs: The Way I Walk, Sheena's in a goth gang, The Crusher, The Native's are restless, Domino, Can your pussy do the dog?, and Uranium Rock.

Although the quality is a little rough, Crime is a great group to check out, very dirty sounding rock and roll. Hotwire My Heart, Crime Wave, Samurai, Dillinger's Brain, and Baby You're so repulsive.

The Dictators, a group that were a big influence on the Ramones, also showcased Ross the Boss, a great guitar player. Songs (Dictators): Science Gone Too Far, Faster and Louder, Minnesota Strip, and Borneo Jimmy.

UK Subs are very good, another group that recorded through the 70s and 80s, and still perform live on occasion. Songs: Stranglehold, B.I.C., Teenage, New York State Police, and AK-47
