Hey is there a whole '70's rock revival thing going on with you youngin's?
I mean Cambria adn Coheed or whatever they are - I mean it's like 70's rock all over again..someone was mentioning UFO on here the other day..
What gives?
(Not that I'm complaining...)

I remember them from my parents, I think it's less of a revival and more of a recollection..

Cozy Powell, fusion rock drummer extraordinaire?

Sort of with me, but I'm not part of any group doing so.
Never listened to much Bob Dylan until my GF and I got tickets for his show a few months back. Got some of his early stuff and instantly recognized it as music I grew up hearing often in Texas, driving around with my dad, or in the garage, or in a country western type of place.
Then started listening to a bit more Johnny Cash, then Willie Nelson, who I didn't "get into" because I've always loved the guy's music. You cannot avoid Willie Nelson in Texas. Just never owned any of his albums or anything.
Now with Neil Young, my Dad has always really liked him more than most, and I recognize so many of these songs as well.
It's refreshing. As a songwriter I think it's refreshing for me to hear this stuff. I do my band music that's big and bombastic and loud, but I do solo acoustic stuff as well, been doing that longer as well. So much purity in getting influence from these guys that have been around for so long, especially as I've heard it all my life.

Seems like prog rock from the 70's was the IDM of back then..

On the other hand, bands like Led Zep, The Who, Beatles, Pink Floyd, etc. I feel 99% confident I won't ever get into them. Not sure why, just personally it's not really my thing.

Cozy was awesome, but that album you're mentioning was the most horrible schlock in the 80's. It like out-asiaed Asia, and that was hard to do...

One word.
RUSH.

I've been going through a weird Deep Purple phase lately for some reason...

Haha nice. After watching the Moog documentary recently, I've been actively searching for prog style music with no works - just jazzy outer-space type stuff..

(Oct 6 05, 08:19)Classic rock was never my thing too..New wave, then punk, then hip hop but now I realize I just like good music. OK maybe the Thompson Twins wern't so great but Pink Floyd has turned out to be one of my favorite bands of all time.

I didn't get into rock until I was 12 in like 1980...and I had always wanted to see Led Zep, but just missed 'em....I had two drummers who lived in my neighborhood - one went to Berkley and the other guy played in a pivotal NYC early 80's metal band and then ended up playing for Ace Frehley for a while...and they used to have drum offs from their respective basements back in the day...and they would use ELP as the backdrop - they'd be doing dueling ELP drum solos....ah..memeories...it was a loud neighborhood...
