The power of music :)
Just been trawling through You Tube trying to find little video and music clips for our youngest to enjoy. He has special needs and it's one of the few things that brings him joy.
Anyway there was I fiddling around and I came across Supertramp's Crime of the Century 
I was instantly tramsformed back to my youth - long hot summer holidays after the exams with that album (esp. School & Dreamer) on my old Trio record deck being blasted out the window for everyone to enjoy!!
Happy, happy, happy days - the music made us happy not aggressive.
Made my day that has

Share the love (with a link).
Used to (still do a bit) love Supertramp - saw them live in the Deutschlandhalle in West Berlin, when I was in the RAF; still sticks in my memory as a great concert.

Re: The power of music :)
Great stuff - Supertramp are one of those bands that I found almost subliminal, a friend gave me a 'Best of' compilation, recently & I couldn't believe how many of the songs were instantly recognisable. 
- did your lad like them too, Osem ?

Nah - he was more into Perry Como and Frank Sinatra
I on the other hand had an older brother and sister heavily into the likes of Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Cream, Genesis, Yes etc.
My favourite group of the time though was Jethro Tull - Iain Anderson is a genius!

" Songs from the wood" was a great album!

Re: The power of music :)
ooooo talking of power of music?
Led Zeppelin - Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp (talk about a summer song!!)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zISiQ6PqATI
Deep Purple - Child In Time (nice and emotional to me and reminds me of christmas somehow :S)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDskym_V1GI
Creedence Clearwater Revival (Becuase you can't beat a bit of Creedence to feel good!)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAVhKjsImeI
The Doors - The End ( HAS to me one of my favorites of all time)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MI24HgwK4m0
Albert King & Stevie Ray Vaughan - Don't lie to me ( Possibly the GREATEST jam of all time!)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaCPMN5VLk8
Freddie king - going Down (Just a GREAT song, from an amazing man!)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHXKlNP4-Aw
Now, I am 15 and I have NO friends with similar taste in music, in fact I have similar music taste with my friends parents than my friends themselves! They like all this new stuff; Eliot Minor, Medina Lake or whoever there called! Am I the ONLY one in this position? I swear Ive been born in the wrong year!
Anyways sorry I went of topic!!
Thats some powerful music to me, I hope you feel the same when you listen to it!
I got plenty more where that came from! =]

Re: The power of music :)
Good for you Luke - I was only 11 when I started listening to this stuff properly way back in the very early 70's .... Happy days When you're an old git like me you'll still smile when you hear this stuff!!
I'm on a roll anyway

Wondering again....

I've recently been working my way through my 'Old Grey Whistle Test' DVD collection & some of the performances on there are just so much better than loads of more recent stuff, that I've seen (In my opinion, of course).

Well Of Corse! All the music these days I guess is just industry orientated! I can't STAND any of it! It's just not music! It's not creative! My Mum luckily got to see Rory just before he died infact, lucky woman ¬_¬. My mum's all ways recommended the Old Grey Whistle Test, I am pretty sure good old Thin Lizzy are on there, ha ha another great thing to come out of Ireland! The Stones were on it aswell if I am right in thinking that? And many more! I am sure my mums got it all on video somewhere!
I think blues does it for me to be honest, faster blues like B.B.King Albert King Freddie King Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eric Clapton, Rory Gallagher etc, and all the bands that followed and were influenced by Blues like Led Zeppelin. I think my music genre genrally stops after about 1980!! A few exceptions to the Rule have to be motorhead though, Rainbow, Thin Lizzy. I would say Deep Purple but they became TERRIBLE after Stormbringer album!! =[

No 'Stones' on OGWT, but BB King, Freddie King, Steppenwolf, Gary Moore (With Thin Lizzie), Humble Pie - are all represented ..
I agree about 'the blues' and many John Mayall, Cream, etc tracks I have endorse that - but I hope you also consider the 'derivatives' - Hendrix, Zappa, Captain Beefheart, etc, all put their own character on top of the 12 bar basics

OGWT & Bob Harris a wonderful blast from the past! The version of Dreamer I posted above (4th link on OP) is an OGWT version - Terrific!!!!
