Thanks Jim

what do you call music from the 50's & early 60's. Elvis Little Richard etc.

You were right about Spirt in the Sky - There was a re-make in the mid 80's too by a greoup called Doctor & the Medics. According to my book it didn't chart in the US...

Jim -you are correct and everyone knows that song as it still gets airplay. Dave - We call the 50's early R&R ':p'  and I think I have that version of Spirit in the Sky unless someone else redid it too. Was Doc and the Medics a punk band because I think the version I have an early 80's punk band.

Punk - now that was something very British. The Sex Pistols and everything that followed. Punk here only lasted two years or so. 1977 to about 1980. Lots of stuff ws born out of it and Doctor & The Medics was probably part of it. The record itself wouldn't be classified as punk more 80s retro I suppose. Just a upbeat version of the original. A good song. Brings back happy memories of discos... We have a big 80's revival here with radio stations dedicated to churning it out. The younger generation 9listen to me, the old man and not yet 40) love it.

Never got into the Punk music . Did get into some of the Heavy metal
 bands in the 80's . But I'm an old Rock & Roller at heart.

Jim.. Its been awhile since I listened to the 80's Heavy Metal, but XM Satellite has an awesome station for this music.. Boneyard -XM41. I listened to it over the weekend, and brought back a whole lot of memories.. kinda makes me want to dig out the old cd's...  I've had the kids banging their heads to Metallica since they were about 4 years old... They love Metal and Cartoons... I broke them in early.. '<img'>

Quote (collecture @ Mar. 02 2006,10:12)
I saw Dwight Yoakam here in Phoenix back in the mid-late 80's at a small venue and he really did put on a good show. Buck Owens was a big influence on him and Dwight recorded a couple of songs with him. Buck showed up at the concert I saw and they performed a few songs.

The big hit they sung together was actually "The streets of Bakersfield". It was filmed here locally. The big yellow sign with blue "Bakersfield" letters used to be on Union Ave., before the new 99 freeway was built the old 99 passed under the "Bakersfield" sign. Buck Owens saved the sign and had it moved over to Buck Owens Blvd. and set up next to his Crystal Palace. If you love country music you got to check out the Crystal palace. It has a CM museum, CM shows, fine dining and dance hall. Chances are you'll even see Buck or another CM singer walking around. '<img'>

KORN is another local Rock group from Bakersfield. Although I don't really care for their music.
