If the intros were a bit longer it might help to identify them. Some clips are 2 seconds long and 15 seconds too short :crazy:

Wow! I can tell who's been travelling in a world of pop music and rock bands,
if I can listen and recognize every intro except for one, maybe the fifth one,
the one after the Elvis song. And the one after that is Jimi.
I recognized all of them right away except for one, sounding heavy metal.

That's one thing that always gave me some private humour at rock band concerts.
You know how rock fans love their bands and like to sing along with the songs?
It's always surprising that the band usually has to start singing the song,
before the concert goers recognize it.
I'll start clapping or shout out the song when the drums or instruments start,
and that usually surprises the band as well as the people around me.
And I'm usually the one who is least into the band.
Even McCoy Tyner looked up at me to see who was clapping right away.
At least I think that's why he was looking. He was smiling.

That first chord, the intro to "A Hard Days Night", do you know it?

Yeah, it's one thing to say I heard it and recognize it,
it's another to say I played it.
The synth sounds and guitar effects are giveaways for me,
seeing rock going through all that evolution with technology.

This is a link for a Yamaha synth for sale.
If you listen to the demo, what songs can you think of?
Please wait for him to show every key works,
and when the drum machine starts you'll hear the classic,
Yamaha YPP 200 semi-clavinet sound.
I'm sure you'll recognize the innovative dual layer sound.
