I love early Floyd. One of the best concerts of my life was seeing Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets. They played everything from Piper at the Gates of Dawn up until Meddle. They opened with Interstellar Overdrive then Astronomy Domini, and then Lucifer Sam to show they weren't messing around. I would love to see them again.

I think Dark Side and Wish You Were here are also great, but Animals is my favorite from the post-Meddle era. Except for Comfortably Numb, I hated the Wall and never really listened to it after the first few spins.

I also love Maiden, but I also prefer Bruce's singing. That would put them outside the dates for the game.

I have a genetic defect that has been causing me to lose it throughout the years. That and too many loud concerts. In any case, I've always been drawn to music that I can understand from a hearing standpoint. Some hard driving music, such as Metal, can be indecipherable to me. Vocalists who have a very high pitched voice, or who tend to scream, are lost on me.

To the best of my knowledge I don't have a diagnosed genetic defect as being the root cause of the rapid loss of hearing that I've been experiencing for the past year and a half.

I'll start a new thread. I'd like to learn more. (y)
 
Brings to mind an idea of the artists tournament ladder between the ensembles we tend to love to hate
Milli Vanilli vs Nickleback, Humperdinck vs Boy George etc

But I'm not sure if ABBA or Simon and Garfunkel belong in that one though

Hey, now… ABBA and Simon & Garfunkel wrote good songs and made good records.

Yeah, I know rockers and metal heads disdain ABBA, but they were a creative group. I had kind of an eye-opening experience during a New Year's Eve gig once. A girl that couldn't have been over 25 requested us to sing Dancing Queen. This song was put out in 1976 and is more like something her mother or even grandmother would have listened to. None of us really knew it except the keyboard player and lead vocalist/band leader. The key board player fiddled around during a break to make sure he had it straight and our singer reviewed the lyrics on her phone to refresh her memory and we did it on our next set. The rest of us sort of played along. I had pulled the chart up on Ultimate Guitar.

Personally, I never really worried about how hard a song rocked. I was more than happy to play crowd-pleasing songs. We had some rockers where I was in the "spotlight", so to speak. But, we focused most on keeping a crowd excited...which means keeping the girls engaged!

Oh, yeah...we added Dancing Queen to our repertoire.
