1982? When I think of that list of bands, I think the seventies...or the sixties for some.
The Who...debuts 1964
REO Speedwagon...debuts 1971
Styx...1972
ACDC and Springsteen...1973
;D ;D

Those were the songs we were listing to. Not neccesarly the newest bands.
REO speedwagon had a top hit in 1982: Keep the fire burnin.
I saw Styx in the 80's. thie Paradise Theater Album (1980) was thier biggest hit.
Sprinsteen kept comming out strong in the 80s'; The River, Born in the USA, Tunnel of Love, etc.
The Who had annouced one of thier final tours around then. and Townsend was big with some solo work...
1981 AC/DC has thier biggest release with Back in black (in memory of Bon Scott)
So they were all alive and kicking then, some at the top of thier carreer.
Hell, I just saw the Stones last fall. ;), Sprinsteen a few months ago, and will hit Buffett in a few short months.
;D

I was actually being sacastic. I should have said Duran Duran and Thompson Twins and you would have gotten it better.
I'm in a time warp myself because I still prefer to listen to VH, Who, AC/DC, Eagles, etc. just like it was 25 or 30 yrs ago whenI was a teenager. What's funny is my teenagers go through my CDs and download a lot of what I like. We were out one night and one had a Beatles shirt on and the other an AC/DC shirt and some guy decided to be a wise ass and said "You kids like that music huh, name two songs of each" They rattled off about 5 each and then my smart ass 13 yr old says "name the 5th Beatle" and the guy was like "um, wow, you guys really do listen" and he walked away looking like a fool.

I suspected you were being sarcastic, but still, I do enjoy the occasional Night Ranger tune. As for the Thompson Twins, Oingo Boingo, the Bangles, etc...
Same league as 1970's disco. Pop fodder in my book.
My kids are similar- they play my CD's all the time.
Unfortunately, my son is also into that Gangsta Rap crap. I guess that's his way of driving me crazy the same way I probably drove my parents crazy with Zepplin, Skynyrd, The Who, etc...
They probably drove their parents crazy with Elvis, and Jerry Lee Lewis.

Brwman, you just reminded me of something funny that happened the other day. My 13 year old is thin as a rail and small for his age. His brother, 15 is average size..Don't ask me how but the little one ended up mistakenly wearing his brother's pants to school the other day! this is hilarious as the 13 year old wears a size 12 and the 15 year old a size 16! When he got home I couldn't stop laughing and figured all the kids teased him all day. He said, when I realized what I did, I just told everyone I was getting into the Rap scene (where the crotch of the pants are around the kid's knees)...I guess you had to see it to appreciate it...but I am still laughing! ;D ;D

Brewman-
I just read this morning that the Steve Miller Band will be at the State Fair this year. Aug 28th, tickets are only 36.00 and went on sale March 18. I hope it's not sold out yet.

FYI:
My friend writes reviews for a local paper and got to see Steve Miller. He said Steve Miller was a great show and one of the most under appreciated guitar players out there. He was very impressed.
