For the fans of progressive rock I have created a new playlist. Now when I say progressive rock, Im referring to songs from the 60s and 70s by bands like Genesis, Yes and Pink Floyd. I know there were other bands, ELP comes to mind, but I am limiting it to the bands I love. If you know of any videos I can add to my list, please let me know.

I'm interested in making a play list with songs having lyrics of a political or anti-war nature. If you know of any, on VS, please leave a link in the comments.

Thanks, Eric

Check out his Personal Queue, Discard pile and Unsifted videos to make it a hundred sifted videos and of course we expect you to go far beyond this number! Indubitably you have many more video surprises for us in the cooking.
Hereby I give you the monocle and hat you desired..

I wonder if the sunglasses/monocle fad will catch on but it sure is a nice blend of the past and present..
Hats off to rasch187!:) (and the hatless ones shall think of some other way to pay r.e.s.p.e.c.t., or he'll be not amoosed

Am searching for vids, but in the mean time...

LONDON (AP) — The newest member of Led Zeppelin was given the honor of kicking off the band's reunion Monday night, pounding out the beat before the surviving founders joined in on a near-perfect "Good Times Bad Times."

After the lights went down at London's O2 Arena, newsreel footage of the band arriving in Tampa, Fla., for a 1973 performance was projected onstage. With thousands of fans worked into a frenzy, drummer Jason Bonham, son of the late John Bonham, began thumping the skittering beat, soon to be joined by guitarist Jimmy Page, bassist-keyboardist John Paul Jones and singer Robert Plant.

The song, rarely played live in the band's heyday, proved a perfect starting point for this performance:

"In days of my youth, I was told what it means to be a man," sang Plant, showing no trouble reproducing his trademark wail at 59. "Now I've reached that age, I've tried to do all those things the best I can. ... No matter how I try, I find my way to the same old jam."

While Page and Bonham both sported sunglasses, Plant mercifully kept his button-down shirt buttoned up. More...

There is also a link to a Youtube video but that's not working.

A new report from researchers at Liverpool John Moores University, appeared in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, backs up claims made by Rock star Neil Young in 1979.

From todays' AP wire: "The report found that, between two and 25 years after the onset of fame, the risk of death was two to three times higher for music stars than for members of the general population matched for age, sex, nationality and ethnic background.

In all, 100 of the stars studied had died - 7.3 per cent of women and 9.6 per cent of men. They included Elvis Presley, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain, Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix.

The average age of death was 42 for North American stars and 35 for European stars."

Hey hey, my my.
