Rock On~

~a few of the old favorites, just the tip of the iceberg

Cohen sang Amen as he danc'd us to the end of love

Joplin dragged a ball and chain into summertime

Elvis's hound dogs made us gyrate our hips

Led Zeppelin lead us to heaven's stairway,

whilst the Eagles soared over hotels in California,

took the midnight train to Georgia with Gladys and her pips

John Cougar needed a lover & Fleetwood Mac was off the chain

Don McClean served us american pie as we dream't on with Aerosmith

Queen rocked us when we were living for the city with Stevie

Pink Floyd put another brick in the wall

as Blondie shatter'd her heart of glass

James Brown told us to get up our sex machine

while dancing in the streets with Martha's Vandella's

the Kinks were stuck on Lola, as the Bee Gee's stayed alive

the Temptations said it was just their imagination

The Stones could never get any satisfaction,

Beatles reminded us yesterday can't buy you love

Cream lead us to a white room with the sunshine of your love

as we found Peace and instant karma with Lennon

The Grateful Dead kept us truckin'

to psycho killers of Talking Head

even though Bill said there ain't no sunshine

and the beat goes on with Sonny and Cher

Gloria never can say goodbye and neither can we

Indeed, rock on my friend. You have touched on the greats of classic rock here...some of which are still with us. Of course, all of them are still rockin' my stereo when I am home alone and I can crank it up. Nothing like cleaning the house with Carole King and the Beatles serenading me. You mentioned so many of the lines from songs I will never forget. Wonderful!!!!!!

[Frieda P]

You sound like moi Lydikey, grazie mille!

[Lydia Shutter]

I think Kublakhan27's review says it all. Some good old faves to dance around too! Party at my place. (-;

[Frieda P]

Sounds like a plan, I'll bring the wine. Wait, are you old enough to drink? ha ;-)

[Kimmie]

Course I am. Over 21 is old enough, doll! (-;

[kublakhan27]

OMG, I don't squeal but if I did, I'd be squealing right now. You know I love this stuff Mrs.R, I think you covered all my favourites in here...this is an equivalent to a list of my most cherished albums, the ones I take extra care of...WOW, just wow :D

[Frieda P]

You should see me smiling right now! Ha, I was listening to Pink Floyd and it just came to me, there are so many other greats but then this would have been a mile long...so jazz'd you enjoyed my sweet friend! ;-)

[kublakhan27]

Haha I know just what you mean Mrs.R, would you believe I was listening to Floyd last night? I've written on specific groups but I've never done this kind of montage, I'd never get it done haha Rock on sweet friend ;) x
