TEDLark, DA BURGLAR & the rest of the Forum

[Sea Lion]

The way discourse had deteriorated, I thought SL and I were the undercard. SL, I accept your assertion that you have followed the forum for eight years, though you were originally under another name. This is not easily confirmed, but you have absolutely no reason to lie. If you click on my username (or any username), it'll take you to a member profile. I was Rob01 before I became a Sea Lion. That came about after my wife and I took a 7 day Mexican Rivera cruise and we actually got to jump in the water and interact with the Sea Lions and Dolphins in Puerto Vallarta. The rest is history! We are good, and  I look forward to many more of your informative and knowledgeable posts.

[QUOTE=Sea Lion] DaBurglar and Ted - it's all good. FAA didn't know that I signed up back then and probably thought I was new here, going on my small amount of posts, which I can understand from his or her point of view. I actually got here in April 08, then re-registered as Sea Lion in Dec 08. No harm, no foul, however I just might go blast some Led Zeppelin, for old times sake!  Both of you (and FAA too) have posted some really informative stuff on these boards, and I for one am grateful for that. Y'all might not see eye to eye on some things, but don't let that change who you are or take away from your contributions here. You guys don't need my input on this, but since this was put out there, I'll throw in my 2 cents.  My flippers are planted right here in Las Vegas, so no, I haven't been to AC. 

     Ah yes....Zepp, have it on right now. To be followed by Grand Funk Railroad and Quicksilver Messenger Service.[/QUOTE]Mark Farner along with Ronnie Montrose were a couple of my favorite American guitarists growing up, along with the English powerhouses like Jimmy Page, Ritchie Blackmore, Tony Iommi, and Alvin Lee. IMO to this day there really isn't anything that can touch the early - mid 70's music. Good stuff!

the 70s were ok, a lot of one hit wonders and then of course that "thing" called.....DISCO....ugh.....I remember being 12 years ol and being forced to listen to American Top 40 and the friggin top 10 were riddled with songs like "Disco Duck", "Ring my Bell" and any annoying anthem by the Village People.....1979 may have been the absolute worst year for top 40 radio.Thank god my teenaged years were saved by the advent of 1980s new wave and the second "British Invasion".......80s music (minus all the Hair bands of the late 1980s) was the best......

Um, just wondering: would Van Halen be considered a late 1980's Hair Band?

[DaBurglar]

Um, just wondering: would Van Halen be considered a late 1980's Hair Band?yes and no, mostly no since they first hit the scene in the late 1970s and thrived during the early and mid 1980s BEFORE the glut of hair bands in the late 1980s like Poison, Whitesnake, and that lot....David Lee Roth fit the image of a typical "hair band dude" but he split after 1984 when the band became "van hagar".......but I like Van Halen so  it does not matter to me in their case.....they are/were a "hair band" with actual bonafide TALENT.
