STEVE & DORA'S

ROCK N ROLL MUSIC COLLECTION

November 2, 2000

Well, I finally decided to move into the "90s" and upgrade our music collection buy purchasing it all on CDs last week, something I have been trying to get around to for several years now.

When the smoke cleared, I had ordered 170 titles on 197 CDs, and saved well over $850.00 (including $150 in sales tax) by buying over the Internet, not to mention the time saved.  Isn't technology wonderful.

After listening to WLS (Chicago AM 890) for several years on the little red AM transistor pocket radio my Grandma gave me for Christmas when I was about 6 years old, I got my first record player and 45 rpm records in 1969. 

I continued buying music on vinyl LPs for my component home stereo turntable from 1974 up to about 1984.  At the same time, in 1975, as soon as I got my drivers license I "upgraded" to 8-track to play on that "Killer" Craig Powerplay based component stereo system I built in my infamous White Van (which I still own and have kept in mint condition which is remarkable considering all my poor van has been through). 

Around 1982 I quit buying 8-tracks and started buying cassettes and in 1988 I finally got around to upgrading everything to Cassette (the hard way - through local music stores).

One thing I find interesting is how many of the original bands and members are still performing even after 30+ years to sell out crowds and most of the early recordings are still bestsellers. 

What are the odds that the current pop and country music groups will be around (or even remembered) in 5 years? 

The difference is that this is the very best music ever recorded, as proven by the way each generation re-discovers “my” old favorites. 

It is cool to see teenagers cranking up the same recordings their grandparents did 30 years ago! 

This Music is timeless. 

Rock on!

Please let me know if you know of any title that you think is missing

and should be included in this Rock music collection.    Thank You!
