Whether you are a broodingly damaged music fan or a blissfully light-hearted one, you can’t deny that it is the season to be jolly. So, put aside your emotional preferences and give the gifts that never stop giving, Bob Seger’s ‘Ultimate Hits Collection: Rock And Roll Never Forgets’ and a Seger poster. The career-spanning 2 CD and digital collection, which dropped November 21st via Capitol/EMI, includes 26 Seger classic tracks as well as a rendition of the “Little Drummer Boy” and the original mono version of his first hit, “Ramblin’ Gamblin’ Man”.
Yes, for you technologically advanced and Internet dependent Shockya readers, Seger may be an unfamiliar name. But if you look beyond your 21st Century playlists and dig into the tunes of your elders, you will hear his defining raspy-rock vocals. What better way to embrace the generations before than by pressing play on Seger’s ‘Ultimate Hits Collection: Rock And Roll Never Forgets’? There is no other option. So, in no more than 300 words, post a tale about how you and your elders connected musically. It can be a story about a concert you went to with your parents or when you busted a move on the dance floor with your family or even the time you were introduced to a record player. You get the point, a moment that is timeless for all the right notes.
You have until December 10th to spread the Seger love and to share the holiday spirit. Remember to post your affectionate words in the comment section of this article and to e-mail your entry to freestuff@shockya.com.
