Surprise !

 


My hubby painted this and I think it’s just perfect for my musical post.  I may surprise you but I do love classic rock and decided to showcase 3 great rock bands that I love.

1. BORN TO BE WILD BY STEPPENWOLF-1968

This was written by Mars Bonfire and was featured in the film “Easy Rider”, a film I still have to see. I just always loved this song and think I may have it at my wake when I kick the bucket. It’s a lot of fun to dance to which I did in some psychedelic bat in Toronto quite a few years back.

2. RAMBLE ON BY LED ZEPPELIN-1969

I just don’t understand anyone who doesn’t like this great band. This was written by Jimmy Page and Robert Plant and features their love of Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings. I think of these lyrics and the lyrics put out today by people like Bieber and others today and wonder where the intelligence has gone.

3. MOTHER SUNG BY PINK FLOYD-1979

Another brilliant band that is classic and intelligent. I always liked this song written by Roger Waters and David Gilmour. This was featured in their musical called “The Wall” from 1982 which is another I want to see one day. 

I plan to showcase these, and others, in the future . Did I surprise you? I love almost all forms of music...just not rap crap.very little rap is what I like.

  2. I am loving that plant pot. It's inspired me to do some painting myself. Thanks for visiting the other day. I am behind on my catching up. Way behind. And nice songs. They are wild (smile) like that pretty pot. And I hope your dog is smelling better too. Skunk smell is horrible. hugs-Erika

  5. Actually, "Mother" was written mainly by Roger Waters. There's only 3 songs in The Wall Waters wrote with David Gilmour and one song co-written with producer Bob Ezrin.

  6. The plant pot is beautiful. John is a big Pink Floyd fan, I’m not so keen. I like Led Zeppelin though, and also enjoyed the more recent collaborations Robert Plant has done, eg with Alison Krauss.
