danelectro Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Silly thread I know but I can't be alone here. No matter what I do I can't escape the Eagles. Without fail every time I am near a radio or TV I hear or see them. If I fall asleep listening to the radio and get up to pee the Eagles are on. When my alarm goes off blasting the local classic rock radio station the Eagles are on. If I'm shopping for groceries the Eagles are on, when I get into my car to leave the Eagles are on. When I switch the station, yep more Eagles. I cannot get away from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock Action Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 In our neck of the woods, we listen to an oldies station. It seems that we always wake up to The Beach Boys or Neil Diamond. Same damned songs too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ally Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 TBH, This guy thinks they play way too much Zeppelin on our airwaves. Overkill. Wouldn't mind so much if they played a wider selection but they tend to stick with the 4th album and Kashmir. Me thinks they could do better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs. Plant Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 PINK FLOYD. When I lived in San Antonio, I often drove to Austin on the weekends, and almost everytime I would cross the line into Travis county, "money" would start playing as i drove in.... it was so weird.

JethroTull Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 The band that haunts me??? I don't know their name!!!! I remember hearing a song in the 76/77/78 timeframe that I loved. I would hear the song on the radio, but never bought it. I'm almost sure they were a second or third tier punk band. Who knows maybe New Wave. As time passed, the band and my memory just disappeared. I'm almost sure the word rubberband was in the title of the song or a lyric. I can't for the life of me figure out a way to uncover the actual song or band. Everytime I see some odd compilation of songs from that period I scan it to see if maybe the song will be there or jar a memory. It's been driving me mad for 30 fucking years. CAN SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danelectro Posted November 13, 2008 Author Share Posted November 13, 2008 You talking about that old Spinners song Rubberband Man. Not punk or new wave but it does have rubberband in the title. vid here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lzfan715 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Jefferson Starship/ just Starship. I love Jefferson AIRPLANE. I listen to them all the time. But I can't escape the later reincarnations. Find Your Way Back was on the radio the other day, and then I walk into chemistry class in my Zep '77 tshirt singing Hey Hey What Can I Do? And I hear "We Built This City, on Rock And Roll" and my ears started to bleed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angel With A Broken Wing Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 I'm getting tired of all the TV and radio ads using the Beatles' "Hello, Goodbye". Yeah, I get it already.....goodbye, good buy.....it was sort of cute the first time Target used it years ago, now there must be a half dozen other companies doing the same. There's another commercial, I don't know who the sponsor is, that has some chick butchering David Bowie's "Space Oddity"....can't reach the remote control fast enough to keep that one from becoming embedded in my head.

Jahfin Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Used to, I could almost sense when the local "classic rock" station was going to play Journey. Thankfully, that sort of predictability hasn't been a problem since I signed up for satellite radio several years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said it was a 2nd or 3rd tier punk band. WNEW in NYC in 1977 was playing a lot of new stuff back then. Maybe wikipedia has some clues.

JethroTull Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 This is currently my favorite topic. How about The Temptations? I'm obsessed with that VH1 movie on the group. David Ruffin was just a great lead singer. He went on a power trip and wanted the group named David Ruffin and the Temptations a la Diana Ross and the Supremes. They refused, he got booted and the band eventually imploded big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
