Old Time Rock and Roll - Bob Seger | College Students' FIRST TIME REACTION!

[@elgonwilliams7624]

A song that relates well to today's music, even though it was a slam against the disco scene back in the day. Also by the mid to late 70s there was a swelling backlash against the excesses of the many tangents that Rock had gone taken and to some extent those excesses only became worse during the 80s.

[@stoneybass5981]

‘Corporate rock’ Boring and targeted music, yet I feel nostalgic when listening to it.

[@Great-Documentaries]

Every generation has their music hated by people who are 20 or more years older than them. It makes no sense whether we are talking about the 1920s, 1950s, the disco-dominated mid-to-late 70s, or today. Great music is made all the time. It always was, and always will be. Don't be that guy.

Bob Seger’s vocals are everything. He could kill it in big arenas and dive bars with ease. He has tremendous control of his tone and expression, and he always sings to the suit the song. Main Street, Night Moves, Old Time Rock n Roll, Turn the Page, Hollywood Nights…. All iconically Bob Seger, all tremendously varied in tone and texture.

Y'all gotta remember, there was DEFINITELY a rock vs. disco sentiment back then . . . SERIOUS!!!!

[@rhiahlMT]

Little late on this reply but hey! I was stationed in Germany when disco had just started. I went over to the battalion, where all the men were housed (separate barracks back then), into the common room. Some new guy had just come in and came down with a disco album and put it on the stereo. Dead winter, I mean cold out. The guys picked the newbie up, took him up to the main door and tossed him out in the snow and threw his record on top of him, one being a country music fan. Then they locked him out. He wound up staying with a new guy in another battalion he shipped in with. He couldn't get back into the barracks until the next day.

This was recorded at the famous Muscle Shoals Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. I heard that they wanted to record individual instruments separately, but it wasn't working for some reason, so they recorded this with all the players recording at the same time as if it was a live track.

That makes sense because "The Silver Bullet Band" is exceptionally good live.

@@jamesjrdollenmeyer8301 well, you might be surprised to know that the Silver Bullet band didn't play on that recording. It was the studio musicians from Muscle Shoals that played on it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4PFemxpotJ1gdU

[@jac3054]

Real musicians playing real musical instruments can't be beat.

[@JohnBaugh-gd8kq]

George Jackson was a songwriter for Muscle Shoals. He wrote this song and the Swampers made a demo for Bob, who often recorded in Muscle Shoals. He tried the song with his band and was not satisfied. One day at the studio a teenager and his mom and dad stopped by to visit the studio. The kid had his guitar and wanted to play. The owners were about to show him the door, but to humor him they let him play along with the demo. The owners liked it, Bob Seger liked it, so what was finally released was the original demo performed by the Swampers, and this boy. I believe his name was Howie McDonald. When the song went big, he tried to get studio work with little success. I think for many years he toured around with some musicians in an effort to parlay his "fame" from having played on a monster hit record.

[@sharrongrant6240]

The reason the first part of the song is so well known and used in so many movies is because of the movie Risky Business (with Tom Cruise).

I couldn't rate this song because I'm numb to it. It is easily the most overplayed song in rock history. I can't imagine anyone over 40 having not heard this song at least a hundred times. Even before it was in the movie Risky Business it got played over and over and over on rock radio. The lyrics made it very popular to use for many different purposes in different media. Then after Risky Business it blew up even more. It's a great song, no doubt, and I've played songs I like over and over dozens of times, but this is the only song I've heard scores of times not by choice. I never just want to play this song because I know I will hear it again soon enough anyway.

Bob was so good he thought this song was not good enough to be on an album. He did NOT put his name on as a writer and received no royalties from this song. Let that sink in for a minute. Bob was such a good writer he is credited for an Eagles song called Heartache Tonight. The band called him on the phone and was stuck and he came up with that title name and chorus. You guys mentioned he should discussed as one of the greats with his voice, I agree. This song was in Risky Business with Tim Cruise dancing across the floor to the intro, definitely a classic moment on the big screen. Also this song was the number one played song in juke box play.

[@PK1971PK]

Sorry, Andy, there was definitely an intense dislike of disco back then--especially after"Disco Duck" came out--and I'm sure Bob was no exception to it. Also consider that when this came out, old time rock and roll was the original wave popular in the fifties and early sixties--stuff by Chuck Berry, Bill Haley, Little Richard, Carl Perkins, Elvis, etc. It's a generational thing--every generation has nostalgia for the music when they were kids, what's modern just doesn't compare. Also this makes me think of an interview I read back in the seventies of Bob Dylan where he claimed he wasn't a rock and roller and really no one was anymore. To him rock and roll was the fifties stuff and what we had in the seventies was just rock.

"Old Time Rock and Rock" is one of the few big Seger songs that he didn't write.

Also go with "Rock and Roll Never Forgets" - The opening track on the "Night Moves" album. It's also the song that he opened his shows with on the "NIght Moves" tour. For a deeper cut, try "The FIre Inside" - It's a bit later than most of his hits but it's great. Also do the official video.

"Shame On The Moon" for yet another change of pace demonstration of his range.

By tradition, shouldn't A&A be wearing white shirts and no pants for this one?

[@aileenturrietta7553]

Don't forget the white socks that made the dance possible 😉😉

[@brianbotalico6688]

He opened his last two concert tours with “Roll Me Away.” Gotta hit that next.

[@taylorkeating6884]

A & A always listening to the kind of music that just soothes the soul. Makes me reminisce about the days of old. With that Old Time Rock and Roll. This and Turn the Page are the favorites of Bob's songs that I have heard.

[@wayneshapka6622]

“We’ve Got Tonight “ is a great power ballad.

[@Trendyflute]

Heard it so many times one gets desensitized to it but it's definitely worth remembering there's a reason this song is so ubiquitous, it's basically flawless.

[@johnpeeples6910]

Feel Like a Number, Fire Down Below, Rock n Roll Never Forgets, and Roll Me Away are all classics that you'll love.

Andy, You mentioned horns when the Sax started playing . Just remember, at the time this came out, old Time Rock-n-Roll to Bob and a lot of us from the seventies was the stuff from the fifties and early sixties. Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Bill Haley and others. Stuff that you guys have barely even touched. Little Richard and Billy Haley. Saxophone was actually incorporated a lot into many 1950's rock-n-roll songs.

Anyone remember those cat and dog shows they would do at sea world? You would hear this song EVERY year… and it never got old.

Im 62 and I vividly remember back in the day rock disco were two distinctly different crowds, I hated disco then but later I realized it wasnt all bad.

ROLL ME AWAY!!! Mainstreet, Brave Strangers, Shame on the Moon, Rock and Roll Never Forgets

[@JeffSkymaster]

Seger has so many cool hits, Great time to be alive.

[@mrsleep0000]

The tour for this album was the first concert I ever went to at 7. So good live.

[@jjmalaprop9968]

I love Bob Seger - top 20 all time - but S-tier? I don’t know. This is to R&R what Roses are Red is to poetry. Maybe it’s just been overplayed to death for 40 years.

[@jrmahan3405]

Over played for 40 years don't apply to there out look, because they just heard it. Sorry to have to state the obvious, but you drove me to it.

[@miketroutt1371]

My least favorite Seger song. Tom Cruise ruined it like everything else.

[@blanewilliams5960]

@@miketroutt1371 Same, he ruined it for me.

[@jjmalaprop9968]

@@jrmahan3405 Thanks for adding nothing. Maybe learn what a point of view is. From THEIR POV, it’s a color by numbers R&R song, so S-tier is surprising. From MY POV, maybe it’s because it has been overplayed to death, but I don’t ever remember thinking this was a “great” song. Got it? Sorry for having to state the obvious.
