Offseason Topic - Musicians You Would Bring Back

- Start date
Wow! Sunrise Musical Theater! I had my high school graduation there in 2000!
Its a super church now... think Jehovah's Witness maybe. Too bad... saw a few really good concerts there back in the day. BB&T Center started taking all the big shows away since it had much higher capacity, hence SMT was no longer needed.
Was also at this concert. GREAT show....Back story....My employer at that time, Sun Bank of Miami, had reserved the OB on that Saturday (no Canes or Dolphin home games that weekend) for a "Family Day" with lots of games and activities to be done on the field. That is, until the City contacted the Bank about moving the date to allow for the Michael Jackson concert. Needless to say, the bank got ALOT of tickets that were made available to employees.
True genius that man. If you aren't familiar there is an artist named Kem who reminds me of him.
Our taste in music is vastly different. All good... agree with Hendrix, Van Halen, Stevie ray and maybe tupac. Bob Marley for sure. That's about it.
Lmao @ Prince and Michael Jackson honorable mention. Not sure if anyone has sold more than Michael. Prince is a musicians musician who literally plays every instrument.
Marvin Gaye was incredible. That's more my taste. Motown. I would also add Teena Marie and Rick James and Biggie.... lastly Barry and Maurice Gibb.

Unpopular opinion here but how many people really go beyond Bob’s Legend album? Would Bob be Peter Tosh if he had lived? I guess it’s fair to ask, when they die young we project decades of hits to follow but sometimes even the most prolific fade, LL comes to mind; dude was considered the best ever and now is on no ones lit’s; different topic I guess but the Peter Tosh reference is applicable.
That's an awesome story. I was a Sun Bank customer. It was one hell of a show that night!

How about walking out to the student union when the stage was there and seeing Lighting Hopkins playing acoustic guitar and another time seeing Miles Davis out there. A long, long time ago. Don't remember what year I was in but I remember being amazed that both those musicians played on that stage.
Some of you might remember the concerts on campus , what was then the water treatment plant. Did some of you see when Black Sabbath played a very short set? Or when Laura Nero was pissed that the crowd was too busy making noise instead of listening to her music? BB King was there! I don't remember all the acts that was on campus ,maybe some others on here might remember.

DAMN!!! I once saw Carrot Top at Broward Community College, Central Campus Cafeteria...LOL.
Most famous band I saw was Public Enemy at its prime for FAMU homecoming. Common used to play the Ratt when I was at law school but he was no where near this popular (ironically he and I went to FAMU together pretty sure he was at the PE concert but we werent' super close, same circle but not that close).
Miles man, just wow. I met Celia Cruz and Gloria Estefan (at UM graduation, I represented my class as Pres) and was blown away, Miles I would have just fuggin died.
Article (no editor so apologies lol) I wrote for a website, playlists is good at the bottom. https://neosoulcypher.com/artist-of-the-week-neo-soul-kem/
Ritchie Valens and Steve Gaines. Both were just scratching the surface of where their talents would have taken them. I would have included Buddy Holly and the Big Bopper with Valens but then we would have never heard Don MClean's song, American Pie.
Lennon would be 81 today but we would have had his musical genius during the 80’s 90’s and 00’s..
True, Johnny Cash covered Hurt at 71. Ronald Isley just turned 81 and has the number 14 on R&B Billboard chart so yeah, definitely a good point dmatt.
one of my favorite bands growing up but basically they were "The John Fogarty Band" . John wrote all their hits except for their covers, and he did all the arranging. in fact the band members complained about John micro managing. Finally John gave in to the other members demand and let them write and arrange music in one album and the result was received with terrible reviews by the critics. John went solo shortly after. I saw them in concert at the Miami beach Convention Center in August of 71, a good show.
Alice Cooper in an interview claims he had a lot to do with this song. Alice claims he hung out with Jim in the late 60s. The way he says it happened was that he and Jim were hanging out and someone came by and asked Alice what he did that day and he answered "i got up this morning and I got myself a beer". The next thing he knows it appears in the lyrics to "Roadhouse Blues". FWIW: Alice went sober in the 80s I think and claims he has not fallen of the wagon,
Absolutely. I don't remember what I paid, but I remember thinking it was a fortune. But I had to make an impression on my girlfriend. We've been married for 35 years so I guess it was a good move.
