A rock and roll cornucopia this week. New and old but all rockers!
1. Foo Fighters - Monkey Wrench ( I know a lot of people are tired of the FF but they have so many great songs and I think it is pretty cool that Dave Grohl went from unknown drummer in Nirvana to leading the Foo Fighters to the top of their genre) I like them. PS. Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones of Zeppelin fame came on stage and jammed with the band during this show at Wembley.
2. Jethro Tull - Locomotove Breath ( takes me back to my high school days. Tull was a staple back in the mid 70's.) This is what you would have seen had there been rock n' roll back in Shakespeare's day.
3. Linkin Park - In The End (love this band and love this song. Great lyrics...right up there with Green Day's Time Of Your Life)
4. Pink Floyd - Time (from one of the greatest bands greatest album, Dark Side Of The Moon...live in Wembley 1974)
5. Kiss - Strutter (Could be the first Kiss song that really got me into the band back in the 70's) This is a 1975 B&W performance at Winterland.

Monkey Wrench is one of my favorite Foo Fighter songs, so I'm good!
Hey Chuck! Good music here!
Dave Grohl's story is pretty amazing. Not very many artists can say that they've been part of even one huge band, much less two.
I was in my early twenties when the Aqualung album was released. One of my all time favorites. I saw JT live a couple of times and they were AWESOME.
I don't like all of Linkin Park's music, but I totally love this song.
Pink Floyd was also HUGE during that period of my life. Yes, drugs also played a role in that time period.
I never really got into Kiss, but I do admit that many people did.
Alex: The third set of lyrics where Dave runs the whole thing on one breath and then screams at the end...makes me want to pass out just listening to it.
Pat: Thanks. Tull came to Cleveland when I was living there and I had a chance to see them but I don't have the foggiest rememberance why I didn't...know what I mean?? I played Aqualung into the ground.
Gotta give Gene Simmons his props...the man KNOWS how to market!
I'll never grow tired of the Foo Fighters. They're one of the only great rock bands remaining. David Grohl is awesome. Wish I could see them live.
Chiz: I think that concert at Wembley would have been awesome to see.
