Song You Loved.... The First Time You Heard It

Because we listen to tunes while changing our oil. Sometimes I'll take a break and have some food while the last drops come out of pan.
Rush, Eagles, Boston, Nightwish, Fleetwood Mac, many from all of them.




OMG! Yes, Meatloaf! Awesome album !! The entire recording. We played it over and over and over driving around with my friends feeling pretty good if you know what I mean smoking that funny stuff.
This was my custom van rolled/button/pleated interior, real airhorns with compressor/air tank too and for the period of time state of the art audio system installed by me.
This was it parked in my parents driveway.
No, they didn’t pay for it. I worked for it.
And yes, the murals on both sides were airbrushed by I guess an airbrush artist.

I just noticed the picture missing the front spoiler, I guess I never put it back on. It got snapped off during a snowstorm on Long Island around 1978 where we had I think 18 or 24 inches of snow.

You have to admit that meatloaf album like many groups back then truly was a work of art. Amazing music just amazing. Oh, I just wish I could go back in time.!!

Go ahead, call me old, but much of today’s music does not have the originality, instrumentation and the passion of decades to go. so much good material mentioned in his thread just awesome.

And let’s not forget Jackson Browne cassette tape with the song “Load out/Stay”

Still gives me chills and played over and over again in the above van. It was Jackson Brown’s “running on empty album”or in this case the cassette.
This was the original version, the second seems to have come out later

Remember hearing "Wheel of Love" somebody was playing over the reel to reel tape and headphones audio setup in the language lab in high school. Beat the French we were supposed to be listening to and introduced me to Zeppelin and all of their great tracks.
 
I heard "Ebb Tide" by The Righteous Brothers for the first time just a few months ago. It was on our local nostalgia station.

What a great song!

Why does it never get any airplay on oldies stations?
 






There are others, but these immediately come to kind.

Really liked "Red Barchetta" when it first came out.
The video you linked is a good one since it features a La Barchetta, the 166MM, which was of course the red barchetta Rush must have had in mind.
 
One more to my other posts, let me ask you what modern day group can possibly come close to matching this?

Sorry, man, but it just not possible to match.
I mean, how did they come up with this stuff and compose this?
Do not miss the guitar solo at the six minute mark
