Enjoy this ensemble of Virge’s Open Thread articles all about music. Share your thoughts in the comments!
“Smooth” by Santana, “Skateaway” by Dire Straits, and “Sharp Dressed Man” by ZZ Top are just some of the fave music videos mentioned by our readers…which ones have we missed?
Songs like “Misty,” “Spirit in the Sky” and “Me and You and a Dog Named Boo” unlock special moments in readers’ lives. What are your musical Wayback Machines?
Readers give love to one hit wonders like Looking Glass’ Brandy and Spirit in the Sky by Norman Greenbaum…but missed the ultimate one hit wonder.
One reader still misses his friend Richie Havens, another got the same tattoo as Janis Joplin. Share your connection to a rock legend you still miss!
Readers share their very first vinyl, from Roy Rogers to Pink Floyd; one reader won the ‘novelty vinyl” prize with her Huckleberry Hound vinyl – but it was close! Can you top that?
Who would be on the Mt. Rushmore of Rock and Roll? Readers share their personal Rock Hall of Famers, plus more love for Tommy James and the Shondells.
Whatever the genre, if you love a good song, this group is for you.
Discuss concerts, musicals, plays, movies, stand-up comedy and more.
