I love my dad; he raised me right. He made me listen to all kinds of music throughout my childhood, and instilled in me a love and respect of "older" music.
All the music we hear on the radio, purchase from the web, and see on MTV and VH1, is born out of other music. The current batch of artists that move us now, were all influenced by their predecessors.
In the case that you have not had the same exposure to rockin "Oldies" as I have, I am going to lend you a partial list of my personal favorites-stuff I know you'll dig:
Big Brother & the Holding Company: Janis before she went solo
Blind Faith: Steve Winwood, Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker-check out "Can't Find My Way Home"
The Byrds: David Crosby's early work
Creedence Clearwater Revival: check out "Up Around the Bend"-classic
Crosby, Stills, & Nash:Always a good record
Dave Clark Five: Awesomely thumping goodness-check out "Glad All Over " & "Catch Us If You Can"
Derek & The Dominos: More Clapton rock- check out "Bell Bottom Blues"
