1960s to 1980s Music Appreciation Group

Originally I created this meeting to plug my classic rock band, Argent Fantasy, but it would be far more valuable to my band to learn what 1960s to 1980s music is important to our visitors. So the purpose of this meeting is encourage discussion on what are your favorite 1960s to 1980s bands and what are your favorite songs. I will make attempts to contact the artists themselves in hopes they can answer your questions and give us insights into their music. There's no strings attached by joining my forum, it's all for fun and hopefully together we'll make the 1960s to 1980s Music Appreciation Group the best. Please invite your friends in on the discussion. I'll set aside the last Sunday night of each month to organize a meeting at a local Starbucks. Of course you're all invited to come down to Argent Fantasy's shows, we play classic rock from the 1960s to 1980s.

  • "Thanks Marty. I remember wearing out 3l copies of the LP learning to play the song. I'm on my 2nd copy of the CD!!! Of course I didn't wear the CD out, but the first version of it was released with the same gap between Parts I and II of the First Impression even though ELP never intended to have a gap there. It was necessarily due to the limitations of vinyl. They eventuallly re-released it with no gap and made ELP and me quite happy. :-)"
