Title: Just for fun music thread Post by: dolphins4life on October 17, 2016, 09:37:12 pm What is your favorite band that has "And the" in it's name?
Mine would be Florence and the Machine. Title: Re: Just for fun music thread Post by: Phishfan on October 18, 2016, 09:30:06 am I don't know that it counts all that much as they only did one album and tour. It is Robert Plant and the Band of Joy.

Title: Re: Just for fun music thread Post by: Tenshot13 on October 18, 2016, 11:08:15 am Hootie and The Blowfish! Come on people, they inspired the website!
Side note, after the wife said I do, and we left the alter, the classical guitar guy we had playing played Only Want to Be With You as we walked away. Title: Re: Just for fun music thread Post by: DaLittle B on October 18, 2016, 11:25:44 am My 1st thing I thought was Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch ??? I can't name one song,then I thought about Kool and the gang,and hootie and the blowfish (already mentioned)
Looking through my spotify.... George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic P-Funk Damn it,I'm so screwed,I'll be earwormed all day thinking about bands with the And the.... Huey Lewis and the News Grandmaster flash and the furious five Buddy Holly and the Crickets Diana Ross and the supremes Frankie Valli and the four seasons Title: Re: Just for fun music thread Post by: Phishfan on October 18, 2016, 12:42:32 pm Hootie and The Blowfish! Come on people, they inspired the website! Doesn't mean they are a favorite though. Title: Re: Just for fun music thread Post by: Tenshot13 on October 18, 2016, 12:53:04 pm Doesn't mean they are a favorite though. It SHOULD BE though."Sometimes you're crazy and you wonder why I'm such a baby yeah, the dolphins make me cry" Title: Re: Just for fun music thread Post by: Dave Gray on October 18, 2016, 01:35:29 pm Good call on Huey Lewis and the News. Love them.
Title: Re: Just for fun music thread Post by: Sunstroke on October 18, 2016, 02:41:45 pm Huey Lewis & the News... saw them on their massive Sports tour in London, and even got to listen to Huey play solo piano in a cheap dive bar the following day. Siouxsie & the Banshees. Excellent band Country Joe & the Fish. Dating myself here... Title: Re: Just for fun music thread Post by: Phishfan on October 18, 2016, 03:00:43 pm Siouxsie & the Banshees. Excellent band I should have know you would be the guy. I have no idea how many people I have mentioned this band to over the years and they did not know the group. Title: Re: Just for fun music thread Post by: mecadonzilla on October 18, 2016, 05:01:28 pm Iggy and the Stooges
Echo and the Bunnymen Title: Re: Just for fun music thread Post by: Sunstroke on October 19, 2016, 11:48:14 am ^^^ I'm a little disappointed in myself for not listing Echo & the Bunnymen. If you play their greatest hits CD, it is basically the soundtrack of my 6 year tour in Germany in the 80's. Maybe mix in a little Men at Work and David Bowie as well... ;D I should have know you would be the guy. I have no idea how many people I have mentioned this band to over the years and they did not know the group. Oh yeah, they definitely rocked. One of my favorite female-led alternative bands, behind maybe only The Cranberries and Concrete Blonde. Title: Re: Just for fun music thread Post by: dolphins4life on October 19, 2016, 12:44:02 pm My choice was a little biased by the fact that I have a huge crush on Florence Welch.

Title: Re: Just for fun music thread Post by: masterfins on October 20, 2016, 12:56:34 pm Some great bands mentioned, but it's really no contest:
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. Title: Re: Just for fun music thread Post by: Sunstroke on October 20, 2016, 01:14:40 pm Some great bands mentioned, but it's really no contest: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. I'll see your Springsteen: Bob Marley & the Wailers ...and raise you: Frank Zappa & the Mothers of Invention A few others I like: Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band Sniff & the Tears (great 1-hit wonder with "Driver's Seat") Title: Re: Just for fun music thread Post by: pondwater on October 20, 2016, 01:50:40 pm Joan Jett and the Blackhearts
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers Prince and the Revolution Paul Shaffer & The World's Most Dangerous Band (not a favorite) Title: Re: Just for fun music thread Post by: Sunstroke on October 20, 2016, 02:08:47 pm ^^^ Since I gave Joan Jett a rose at a concert during her Bad Reputation tour, I feel a little stupid for not thinking about that group. Title: Re: Just for fun music thread Post by: Tenshot13 on October 20, 2016, 05:15:09 pm Some great bands mentioned, but it's really no contest: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. Sorry dude, The Boss sucks. I have to second pondwater with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Title: Re: Just for fun music thread Post by: Sunstroke on October 20, 2016, 08:44:15 pm Count me in the group that was never really that into Springsteen. I did like his early-early stuff a little, but once he got popular, I thought it all just sounded the same. Tom Petty rocks... Title: Re: Just for fun music thread Post by: Dave Gray on October 21, 2016, 12:21:26 pm I also don't love Springsteen. I don't hate it, and I like him as a dude, but his music never spoke to me.
Title: Re: Just for fun music thread Post by: Phishfan on October 21, 2016, 12:23:23 pm FYI for Dolphins4life, I see Florence and the Machine is on Austin City Limits this weekend.
Title: Re: Just for fun music thread Post by: DaLittle B on October 21, 2016, 01:45:00 pm ^ I was going to reply that! :D I was laying in bed lastnight trying to fall asleep that commercial for Austin city limits came on.I'd never heard of her before this thread...
+1 to what Dave said...Great Call on Tom Petty,Joan Jett and Bob Seger too! Some good ones being named that I missed...I'd heard of Siouxsie & the Banshees because of a woman I dated... While not my favorite,but a sort of flash back of my youth...D.j. Jazzy Jeff and the fresh prince Title: Re: Just for fun music thread Post by: pondwater on October 21, 2016, 02:08:22 pm Title: Re: Just for fun music thread Post by: masterfins on October 21, 2016, 04:22:39 pm I'll see your Springsteen: Frank Zappa & the Mothers of Invention Love Zappa. Makes me want to go home and break out my Joe's Garage LPs. Title: Re: Just for fun music thread Post by: masterfins on October 21, 2016, 04:28:15 pm Joan Jett and the Blackhearts Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers Prince and the Revolution Paul Shaffer & The World's Most Dangerous Band (not a favorite) Those are three good ones. I saw Tom Petty in concert 20 years ago, he is excellent. Title: Re: Just for fun music thread Post by: pondwater on October 21, 2016, 07:32:13 pm Those are three good ones. I saw Tom Petty in concert 20 years ago, he is excellent. Mainly 70s, 80s, and early 90s music is what I listen to. Maybe a some 60s stuff too. However 75-90 is where most of my listening is, even to this day. I tried real hard to think of a hard rock/hair metal type band but I couldn't come up with anything. Joan Jett and Tom Petty was the best I could do. I thought about this for a few hours, lol.... |
