You Know It When You Hear It     Just what is old time Rock 'n Roll?   It's many things to many people since the days of Bill Haley and his Comets' 1955, #1 hit, "Rock Around The Clock."  Actually, I think that it is easier to define old time rock 'n roll by what it isn't. And... like other undefinable qualities, it easier to just leave it this way... You know it when you hear it.    Whatever...  Bob Seger plucked a three cord progression and captured the essence of old time rock in his tune,   Counting Down "Old Time Rock 'n Roll."      Old Time Rock 'n Roll Recorded Live In Boston   Just take those old records off the shelf I'll sit and listen to 'em by myself Today's music ain't got the same soul I like that old time rock n' roll                                     Don't try to take me to a disco You'll never even get me out on the floor In ten minutes I'll be late for the door I like that old time rock n' roll                                     Still like that old time rock n' roll That kind of music just soothes the soul I reminisce about the days of old With that old time rock n' roll                                     Won't go to hear them play a tango I'd rather hear some blues or funky old soul There's only one sure way to get me to go Start playing old time rock n' roll                                     Call me a relic, call me what you will Say I'm old-fashioned, say I'm over the hill Today's music ain't got the same soul I like that old time rock n' roll                                     Still like old time rock n' roll That kind of music just soothes the soul I reminisce about the days of old With that old time rock n' roll     Add your content here

Old Time Rock 'n Roll BOB SEGER & THE SILVER BULLET BAND #28 Hit for 1 Week - Top 40 for 5 Weeks First Charted 05/05/79   Remarkably, this Out-of-the-Top-10-Hit (get this... only charted to #28 and only for 5 weeks)  has become The Anthem of Classic Rock 'n Roll thanks to Tom Cruise's unforgetable miming in the movie,  "Risky Business."    Without a lie, I once spun a gig where I was asked to repeat this tune 6 times in a row! It was a group of MDs.
