Default Re: ROCK MUSIC

All the bands play the same songs since they are playing hits from the 50's and 60's. There are only so many. These songs are 40-50 years old! Rock has come a long way since then but you would never know it around here.

Check Rocky's web site, they have played with a few artists who had some hits, but none of their songs were hits in recent history. (The Drifters, The Shirelles, Lou Christie, Danny and the Juniors).

Yesterday in the Sun Times there is an advertisement for "Jay Siegel & The Tolkens" playing with Rocky and The Rollers for 2 shows a night for 4 days. It states "The Tokens are best known for everyone's favorite song, "the Lion Sleeps Tonight". That song was a hit in 1961!!! So name two other "hits" from the Token's. In addition, they'll be playing there with "The Teenagers" and "The Elegants". WOW!
