  1. Santana is just classic, especially the guitar work. Eagles I think is almost everyone's favourite and Deep Purple made my mum turn purple when we kids listened to them rocking. She said it was just noise. They won the Legend Award in 2008.

  8. I always liked Hotel California by the Eagles but my tastes in music were more for classical, opera. My father's influence as he played the piano and we would sing together from as far back as I can remember. I like that music is universal.

  10. When I was younger I used to listen Dire Staits, Santana and Jethro Tull. I always like them!
    It seems the Eagles song "Hotel California" shares the same chord sequence as well as the lead vocal melody as we see in Jethro Tull song “We Use to Know”. Isn't it?
    I means Hotel California was based on a Jethro Tull song.

    Nice post, Ashok!

    1. You had great taste Giorgio! Oh yes, "we used to know" is the inspiration for Hotel C . chord progression is the same but the experience/ expression of both songs are different. I like them both!

  13. All of these songs I enjoyed hearing for many years. Hard to pick a favorite but if I had to it would be Jethro Tull's Locomotive Breath for the simple reason I heard it when it first came out on his Aqualung album. I still listen and love that album. :) Have a great day!

  15. BY far the Eagles. Although I love all those you posted. I saw a tribute band called "Desparado" in a nearby town over the summer. I couldn't believe how much they sounded like the Eagles. I hope to hear them again next summer when Redlands has their summer bowl series.

    1. That's interesting to know about the desperado Sandy. Must be a great band if they sound like the Eagles!

  16. Yes they are on Youtube I think. Seeing them in an open bowl with perfect temps at night and the smells in the air all of that combined made it a great experience. I so love your book ..can't say it enough.
