Nothing better than Good ol' Rock n' Roll

"Carry On Wayward Son" is by Kansas, not America. Both, however, are good bands.
I like almost all rock and roll from this period... It's such a good time for music.
Well, I'm not so sure about the 80s and 90s. Synthesizers never have been my "thing."

and tell me that's not fckin EPIC. You just don't hear guitars do that any more these days :(

Oh, and I'm talking about 70's ROCK. Not Metal. Metal sucks.

ok, I will overlook your ignorant and meaningless "attack" on metal and I'll just reply to this thread.
Queen is indeed great and my fav songs are "killer queen" and "princes of the universe".

Heh, you're only like the third person to correct him on that. :3

Kansas, in my honest opinion, is not a good band. They're kind of everything that went wrong with old prog rock, along with ELP. Kansas had the tendency to be stupidly "experimental" in a way that caused overly lengthy synth-heavy songs with extremely weak lyrical content and no decent sense of melody. There's a pretty good reason their only real hits were "Dust in the Wind" and "Carry on Wayward Son," and that reason is probably that they're the only decent "normal" songs that they ever did, although Carry On still contains many elements of their progginess. Jethro Tull, Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Rush, and Genesis (mostly)...now that's good 70s prog.

America, on the other hand, is pretty good. I'm not way too keen on how fast they begin deteriorating after their debut album, though...and by the 80s they were ruined, unfortunately. But yeah, they've got many early great songs like "Horse With No Name," "Ventura Highway," "Tin Man," "Sister Golden Hair," "Only in Your Heart," and "I Need You."

By the way, synths in the 80s and 90s are more attached to pop rather than rock, although I'll certainly admit that New Wave rock was very synth-heavy in the 80s...The Cars and such. But when it comes to most mainstream rock in the 80s, synths weren't the problem...the reintroduction of glam rock, this time called "hair metal," was the problem. Motley Crue, Def Leppard, Poison, Scorpions, etc...not necessarily always completely bad, but mostly bad, if you ask me.

I really need to learn to stop while I'm ahead instead of over-explaining my opinions on music constantly.
