i think the dead are probably one of the most unique classic rock bands thinking back at this comment,
but allman brothers are really good and i like them just as much.
i really like joe cocker's "feeling alright'. i've confused that for allman bros in my past. as a millennial that type of stuff was the play list for all the barbeque parties i went too as a smaller child.. the different generations of people seemed mystical all listening to different types of music... not the same for new generations. everything is mixed together. i don't think age dictates what people are listening to in this time period, not that it entirely did from what i experienced as a millennial, but that's the way i saw it.
"blue sky" by allman brothers should definitely still be played on classic rock radio rotation... i've talked about how i don't like that classic rock is getting mixed with 90's music.
i have a childhood fixation on "blue sky" by allman brothers. i wasn't exposed to a lot of grateful dead as a kid. i'm trying to think of songs that would mean as much to me. i bet people could pick some that they find are just as heartwarming.
