Robert Plant: Rock & Roll Quote
Submitted by Rock and Roll Guru Blog
“My vocal style I haven’t tried to copy from anyone. It just developed until it became the girlish whine it is today.“-Robert Plant
You gotta love his honesty. People either love his voice or they hate it. There’s no middle ground here.
Happy birthday, Robert!

Happy Birthday, Robert Plant!
Submitted by Layla’s Classic Rock Blog
Robert is one of my all time favorite vocalists…and I will never, ever tire of watching “The Song Remains the Same” or any other video of Zeppelin. Hope he has a great birthday (even though I’m still disappointed in him for not wanting to do a reunion….)

“Goodby Sister Disco” Rock & Roll Wisdom from The Who:
Submitted by Rock and Roll Guru Blog
Goodbye, Sister Disco.”-The Who
The t-shirts in the late 1970’s had it right. I’m talking about the ones that proclaimed “Disco Sucks!”
That’s all there is to it. Thankfully, disco went away pretty quickly.
As The Who also said, “Long Live Rock.”

John Fogerty - Revival (2007)
Submitted by Bloggerhythms Blog
Creedence Clearwater Revival is definitely one of America’s all time great rock ‘n roll bands. Today, John Fogerty continues to make CDs that sound just like CCR and that is fine with his fans because his loud, bluesy, swamp rock sound has always been an undeniable treat. The only difference between the [...]

Les Paul: Gone But Not Forgotten
Submitted by Rock and Roll Guru Blog
I’m stunned and more than a little bleary-eyed. I just heard that Les Paul died.
Les invented the electric guitar. There would be no rock & roll without him.
He was an icon and he will be deeply missed.
