The man that hath no music in himself,
Nor is not mov'd with concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils;
The motions of his spirit as dull as night,
And his affections dark as Erebus:
Let no such man be trusted.
SHAKESPEARE
THE MERCHANT OF VENICE
I never figured out why these bands, artists, or composers got so popular or lasted so long. I guess it's a matter of "Simple music for simple minds."

Bruce Springsteen
The Who

Many more that I have fortunately blanked from my mind until the next time I hear them.
I'm currently working on a new site:
"The Best Songs of the 20th Century".
Some of the pages are done; not all.
Click on the link to visit my Web pages about ProgDay 1999 and see a few photos of bands that played there.
"Musical people always want one to be perfectly dumb at the very moment when one is longing to be perfectly deaf."
OSCAR WILDE
To see a couple of photos of a band I used to play with called "DOG TALK," click HERE. Two of the members, MICHAEL BECK and CLIFF FORTNEY, used to be in "HAPPY THE MAN."
Sprinkled throughout these MUSIC pages:

THE INCREDIBLY RIDICULOUS
MTV-ROLLING STONE'S 100 TOP SONGS (1963-2000)
I agree with maybe 10 or 12 of their choices. I have made comments about most them.
Lately (2003), I've been listening to a lot of classical music, and, in the near future, I will be adding a few pages about my favorites: Gabriel Faure, Domenico Scarlatti, and others.
