I think the best time of all was the time between 1950 ~ 1975
Both when it came to music, fashion, cultural performanses and everything else ...
Kirsten, I agree with you.
You've been going through my LPs you bastard !
I've got a few of these ... America - that's the Horse With No Name album, Fresh Cream .. yea, well Sunshine of My Love's on that, White Room, right ? Procul Harum .. I don't know that sleeve ... is A Salty Dog on that one ? I think the first one is Led Zeppelin ?
Cheers
red ink, Led Zeppelin IV with Stairway to Heaven. and Procol Harum with Conquistador and A Whiter Shade of Pale.
What? No Neil Young?
Too bad about Cat Stevens...his songs were amazing.
