LC Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Going way back to the board's earliest hours, our wonderful friend Jennifer, a.k.a. Aggies JC, caught on quickly with an interesting thread in March 2002. At the time, Bernie's bulletin board was just a baby. The Aggies thread "What EC fans listen to?" was one of the first to bust out (at least, as far as I can tell—I didn't join until 2005). Anyway, the 14 pages here amounts to a smorgasbord of recommendations from like-minded fans, starting with Jenn's nod to Fleetwood Mac (I'm right there with you!). Who needs those Spotify's "If you like this, you'll also like..." when we can re-read this thread? There are certain acts that show up throughout the thread, not surprisingly: Beatles, Elton, Billy Joel, the Beach Boys, Badfinger, ELO.... And Boz Scaggs (I dig Boz!). Kyle Vincent gets plenty of plugs, and we also see 10cc, Alan Parsons Project, Hudson Brothers, and Eagles, Jackson Browne, and J.D. Souther. And, we find out there are a lot of mellow-mood folks here—I see more Barry Manilow mentions than I would have expected, along with Neil Diamond, Streisand, and Jane Oliver. On the other hand, KISS comes up a lot (from Bernie, John Shaft, and many others) as do Queen, Journey, the Babys/John Waite. Also, Sweet (or is it The Sweet?) gets a little attention.... And who knew Cartmill thinks Kenny Loggins has one of the best pop voices ever? PS: I got a kick out of two editors, Jenn and Ellece, bringing up poor grammar in pop lyrics (page 8). I know what you mean... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 LC, another great thread- interesting to read about everyone's taste in music once again! What a smorgasboard!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lew Bundles Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Did the girl Michelle Cervoni, who wrote the Carmen Connection newsletter, ever become a board member? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LC Posted December 28, 2018 Author Share Posted December 28, 2018 I think so but am not sure. Bernie would know. But, are you reading the bulletin board these days, Bernie? I don't want Lew to subpoena you... especially after what he did to Wendy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lew Bundles Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 I deleted the Wendy post...Not sure it was in good taste...I am getting soft in my old age, in more ways than one... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Benfer Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 I wish there would have been extension of this thread at the time with every board member listing their favorite 1 or 2 songs related to the artists that they posted here. I'd love to make some compilation discs of them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Michelle Cervoni went by "Razzmichi" on the board if memory serves me correctly... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Benfer Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 I have started constructing a list of the artists mentioned in this thread. My plan is to explore the artists and make several compilation discs. Anyone that listed your favorite artists in the original thread, could you tell me a few of your favorites by them. That will give me a place to start. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LC Posted January 28 Author Share Posted January 28 Bump. just for the music recommendations. Actually, it's a double-bump... you get this "Great Moments" thread and, if you take it from the top, the "What EC fans listen to" thread. How did I miss the chance to plug John Stewart in that thread? Or... maybe I did. I'm still going through the 14 pages. Interestingly, that "What EC fans listen to" thread dates to March 2002 — almost 21 years ago! And yet when you look at page 1, you'll see posts from multiple still-current members here: the Fab Five of Bernie, Craig, Matthew, Kirk, and Dave/LobsterLvr. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lew Bundles Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 LC…That’s the first thing that struck me as well-the number of posters that are still banging away here…I joined in 2002 but didn’t post until a long time later… The 2nd thing that struck me is all the “fans” that have jumped ship from here…I always wondered how some people were such an active part of this community(and EC fandom) and disappear… The 3rd thing-The disappearance of Kazumi…I assume the worst… 4th-I don’t have the patience anymore to seek out new music…The recommendations of fellow posters(and the ability to punch up one of those endorsements on YouTube have proven to be a. godsend in terms of money and time…In the pre-ec.com days, there have been endless dollars and time spent on seeking out any recording act that a reviewer dropped a “ sounds like the Raspberries “ comment into their diatribe only to realize that after a spin or two that the lp was “suitable for frisbee”… 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raspbernie Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 If this wasn’t my website, I’d still be here. Big fan then. Big fan now. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
