Grew up listening to Cream and had Blind Faith in vinyl. Stevie Winwood with Spencer Davis and later Traffic was also one of my favorites and still listen to it.

RIP Ginger.... Damn, two in one day.

Ginger died last year.
Jack Bruce is gone too.
Clapton has neuropathy and can’t do much.

When it comes to "current events" and other posts of that nature, can we maybe check the date of articles prior to posting them? I know that my news feed occasionally vomits up an article from the past (hey, I see you like reading articles about dead rock stars, so here are several more), but when the date is displayed twice in the copy-and-paste...

What? No 8-Tracks? IMO we'll never have another musical era to match them.

And here I thought this thread was about a red-headed purveyor of pastries...

Agree. In the late sixties as a young teenager would listen to WNEW-FM on a table top radio that played what would today would be considered progressive rock. Many of the bands were from the west coast and great music was being made. Alison Steele the Night Bird and Roscoe were two of the DJ's that I distinctly remember. Got turned on to alot of great music listening to that station. BTW I did have an 8-track in my car and learned how to rewind them when the player ate one of the tapes.

I'm younger than most in this thread, but I still remember 8-tracks. My parents' collection and a portable red player were the pipeline that introduced my sister and I to Zep, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, etc. Eventually, we were allowed to use the record player, which led to the next generation of rock (Journey, Allan Parsons Project, REO Speedwagon, and so on). By the time we got to bands from the early/mid 80s, Mom and Dad were mostly buying cassettes for convenience and those didn't have quite the same physical appeal.

I doubt very much that my boys will have such fond memories of MP3 files and streaming services.

I sold vinyl collection years ago...still regret it.
