Stones & the Beatles - So many great songs.

Chicago & Blood Sweat & Tears - Love the big brass sound.

CCR, Eagles, & Three Dog Night - Did some really fun music in the early 70s.

Motown music from the 60's...The Supremes, The Temptations, Smokey Robinson, The Jackson 5.


Supertramp (reminds me of my childhood, even though now when I listen to some of their lyrics they can be quite cynical, it still puts me in a good mood)
