I’m THRILLED!!! It’s Monday and now that I’ve found Monday’s Music Moves Me, I get to think about music all weekend in prep for today. The theme this week is what “moved” you during your teen years.
I was so very lucky to grow up in the age of real rock and roll. Even though I was brought up in a very strict Catholic household and notched many years of Catholic school on my belt, I was allowed, and miraculously I might add, to attend LARGE out door concerts that came to Chicago. As I’ve said before, “Mom and Dad! What the heck were you thinking?”
So
by the time I wrapped up my teen years during my Junior year in college, I’d
seen and heard more than most young girls that age should have seen or heard!
Again, LUCKY ME!
I
start here with what I listened to when I was 13. Everyone out there is pretty
young so you may be saying “Who the hell isHE.”
In
high school, while the guys were listening to Yes and Pink Floyd, the girls
were rocking out to Journey , REO Steedwagon and The Cars seeing all in
concert.
And let’s not forget about my most memorable concert ever seen…The Rolling Stones at Solider Field when I was only 16 years old and Mick Jagger sang Satisfaction with a firehose between his legs squirting the crowd on a HOT Chicago afternoon!

My freshman
year our dorm floor blasted Head East from every room. Billy Squire was also a
firm favorite.
While
everyone listened to Bruce during my junior and senior years, I was in love
with Jim Morrison and The Doors. My favorite was request was:

I don't think I've ever heard the original version of Drift Away before... and I had no idea who it was by. Yeah, I know... I'm too young for this party, haha! Thanks for sharing.
Some of the earlier ones were unfamiliar to me, but some of the later ones? Oh yeah.... :) Love your choices! :)
Overcome Livin’ On A Prayer – Every Rose Has It’s Thorn so Lean On Me, F•R•I•E•N•D•S
These are all cool classics! I remember some from when my mother would listen to them, and others playing from my sister's stereo in the morning. Thanks for sharing them.
We must be near the same age - these were favorites of mine too (although I went more funky with my list today!). Journey rules!
It's great to have our childhood memories that makes us smile.
I love your list
Just getting my blog back from the hack. Oy!
Have a great week!
Thanks for joining us and sharing some real rock & roll! It's fun to trip the life fantastic when we were young isn't it! Good theme this week. Glad you enjoyed it. Hope to see you next week too!
Hi Naila,
It is fun to remember back and think about fantastic times. Those songs are on my iPod today. I've seen The Rolling Stones 7 times so I feel like I've paid Mick to be my friend but my favorite is really Keith Richards. Stunning guitar player!
Thanks for following me, too!
Hey Classic NYer!
My kids can't believe when I know all the words to some of their songs then I play the original for them! You are never any wrong age for music!
I'm a Bon Jovi fan too and now the "I'll Be There For You" is running through my head since I read yours! Not fair at all!
Well I like your mom and your sister's taste in music then. Thanks for listening to my memories today!
If any one band reminds me of high school, it's Journey. Maybe we are close in age Stacie but I'm not saying! You list was funkier but I love funky!
Great memories are treasures, aren't they? I protect them for all their worth!
I read that welcome back is in order. See you next week!
Thanks Xmasdolly! It's real and old stuff, for sure! It was a fun theme. See you next week.
In high school, I saw Led Zeppelin (1970), Cat Stevens, who was opening for Traffic, the Allman Bros., Grand Funk Railroad (ok, we thought they were sort of cool back then); Johnny Winter, Rick Derringer (who is now a real estate agent in Sarasota), Taj Mahal and a few others I can't remember :/ BTW, a bit of trivia: Satisfaction was written in Clearwater, Florida, which is near Tampa.
Not to barge in, but your mention of Keith Richards as being your fav reminds me of one of your posts a while back where you admitted to having a thing for "bad boys". I enjoyed that one!
Well, well, well, Lumdog! You have a very good memory as do I. You are correct. However, I admire Keith for his guitar playing!
Sounds like you had a lot of opportunity for live rock in FLA as well.
I would have loved to see Cat Stevens AND Traffic (I love Steve Winwood). Did not know that about Satisfaction. Thank you for that tidbit. Maybe I will get a chance to use it someday.
I DEFINITELY would have been jealous of you! My daddy was strict. I was in the 10th grade and won some tickets off the radio to see Morris Day & Time. My daddy didn't even say no. He said, "I know someone at work that would probably buy those from you." She did :-/ Thank goodness he had a very diverse collection of music so I am no stranger to some of the classics. Never heard of the "name" Dobie Gray but I recognized the song.
Okay, don't be upset with me. I saw Morris Day and Time when I was just out f college. They played on a Sunday at something that was called Superfest where about 5 such groups played. It was awesome! Your daddy is clever! I'm sorry for you, though!
We listened to "Drift Away" non-stop! It's on my iPod now!
Oh man, this is great! I wish I could have had this experience!
Thanks, Larks!
Gina, thanks for joining the best dance party in Blogosphere! Your songs really rocked the Love Train. All of your choices brought back memories of my own. Thanks for linking up with Monday's Music Moves Me!
Thanks, Cathy!
This is all the music I grew up with .... love REO. And Roll with the Changes seems like a fitting soundtrack to where I am in life at the moment. :) "Turn some pages and roll with the changes." Might have to go find that Greatest Hits CD.
Thanks! I loved the music i grew up with!
Tell me about it...I feel like I need to roll with the changes, too. If your tired of the same old stories, turn some pages!
