How many here remember this band?

[MarineCombatEngineer]

Probably us old folks.

[Lulu KC]

1. Who could forget?

One of the best ever.

[GP6971]

2. Of course and I'm old.

[Bluethroughu]

3. I wanted to be the next Shirley Muldowney...

That sounds played in the movie about her.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

6. Heart Like A Wheel.

&t=1525s

She was a pioneer for women into drag racing.

[pdxflyboy]

20. Shirley Muldowney.

I was born in 1954. Drag racing fan. Shirley was racing at a small track…Dover Dragstrip, in Wingdale, NY. It’s farm fields now. In the summer of 1971, my buddies and I did one of our many drives to Dover. We were 17 and NY driving age was 18. We bought pit passes for $10, and I saw her between races. Sweaty and very attractive in her fire suit. She was very good and famous in drag racing, because she was a great driver. I’ll never forget her. My wife of 34 years is tough and strong, just like MS Muldowney.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

4. All of us old folks remember the Byrds

One of many Pete Seeger songs they covered.

[LoisB]

5. I guess I'm an "old folk" because I remember the band and the song.

[ProfessorGAC]

7. Of Course I Remember

Not from the 60s, though. Other than the Beatles, I was still focused on playing jazz piano.
But, when I really started to pay more attention to rock, there jangly soubd and nice harmonies caught my ear.
I actually do a solo acoustic version of Mr. Tambourine Man when I do open mic nights.
Since it's a Byrds tune, I use a 12 string.
I think it might be illegal to play one of their songs on 6 string.

[surfered]

8. They were great. I had that album on 8 track

[BOSSHOG]

11. 8-track

One of the greatest inventions in the history of the universe. I jerryrigged one in a 51 Chevy Pickup.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

13. 8 Track?

I remember 4 track, that's how old I am.

[surfered]

17. 4 track was a year or two ahead of me. Tell me sir, did you actually see any dinosaurs?

[MarineCombatEngineer]

18. LOL.

No, but I did stay at an Holliday Express one time.

[BOSSHOG]

9. Old folk here. I remember them well

Part of the soundtrack of our Old Folks Lives

[Silent Type]

10. My favorite band, period. Liked all the spins offs too like-- Flying Burrito Brothers, CSNY, Gene Clark, etc.

[TexasTowelie]

12. I'm under 60 and I remember them. nt

[Deuxcents]

14. Yes, I remember them and yes, I'm old!

Would not trade my generation’s music for any other window of time

[MarineCombatEngineer]

16. Agreed.

Our generation, IMHO, put out the greatest song, full stop.

[HighFired49]

15. Absolutely

One of the best!!

[surfered]

19. Released my freshman year in College..a magical time, full of promise.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

21. I do remember being on the USS Arnold J. Isbell, DD 869,

on our way to Vietnam, this is where I first heard the song on an reel 2 reel player in the mess deck.

[littlemissmartypants]

41. Reel to reel was fancy then. I'm sorry you had to go to Vietnam. ❤️

[MarineCombatEngineer]

49. Thank you,

only 2 good things came out my tours in Vietnam, it helped define my life and I also became a life long Democrat, other than that, it sucked big time.

[littlemissmartypants]

50. ❤️

[KitFox]

22. I was in high school and I bought the album.

I was just listening to their album Fith Dimension last night. Available on Internet Archive. It’s marked as one of my favorites
Airplane

[appleannie1]

[catchnrelease]

30. I definitely do!

Back in late '65/early '66 there was a pop music show locally in SoCal called Shivaree. My girlfriend won tickets to the show on KFWB, an LA radio station, so we got to go to the filming. The Byrds were the main group that day and we were so excited to see a big name band. Some of us audience members stood on scaffolding around the stage, kind of behind the bands. It was classic afternoon music tv fare for teens, complete with go-go dancers! Wow I definitely haven't thought about that event in decades...thanks for the flash-back!!

[Martin Eden]

32. Whatever did David Crosby do after he left the Byrds?

Just a little quiz for the young folks.

[patphil]

34. He was part of a mildly successful band called, Crosby, Stills, Nash and young.

And he even did a solo album:

An excellent album.
Of course there was a lot more after that:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Crosby


Note: Just kidding on the comment regarding CSNY. They were an amazing group; one of my all time favorites. Great melodies and harmonies.

[some_of_us_are_sane]

58. WOW ! I had no idea

Crosby was first with The Byrds! I'm a geezer too...

"I'm a geezer, get the tweezer. Use it on my chin!" LOL!

[lastlib]

33. I still crank the radio when this one comes on.

Roger McGuin rocked!

The Byrds, Buff Springfield, CSN later---they were the bee's knees for me!

[johnp3907]

35. What about this band?

With a pre-Stones Ronnie Wood!

[mjvpi]

[Klarkashton]

45. They played at my High School. Palos Verdes High School

In 1965 I believe .

[Akakoji]

46. Who Remembers Jim McGuinn?

That will tell you how old someone is. Or how good their memory is. Or who the one person that was the only member in the band for every iteration over the years was.

[GiqueCee]

47. I remember them well...

... 2 years and change shy of 80, I recall Roger McGuinn & company vividly. One of my all-time faves.

[IrishBubbaLiberal]

48. The Byrds - Sweetheart Of The Rodeo 1968 vinyl record side 1

[PJMcK]

51. Classic from my youth!

The Byrds. A great band.

[Dave in VA]

52. Ecclesiastes Chapter 3 (And I remember them well)

There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:

2 a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
3 a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
6 a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
7 a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
8 a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.

[WheelWalker]

53. But of course! Rock 'n Roll will never die.

[MarineCombatEngineer]
