The whole place is shaped like a big mirrored pyramid with a phonograph record and arm contraption coming out of the side of it, overlooking Lake Erie. It was quite inspiring architecture, and wets your appetite for what you'll find inside.

The huge atrium when you walk in had a lot of arena rock props hoisted in the air (a few were recognizable leftovers from Pink Floyd's "The Wall" 80's tour). This area also had a nice open cafeteria and souvenier shop.

Shaped like a pyramid, the bottom had the most floor area, of course. It had a darkish, basement feel, and it had a confusing layout where you couldn't take a curcuitous path and see every thing just one time. This mazey design made it difficult to take it all in efficiently, but it seemed a better thing to just meader and get a bit lost anyway... What's the rush?...

Lots of memorabelia, posters, clothing, video, old gear, and so on. Some original song drafts and important symbolic papers were there, all the way up to big vehicles like ZZ Top's famous car used in their videos and one of Elvis' Cadillacs. Many of the masters were covered, like Beatles, Stones, Hendrix, Elvis, Bob Dylan, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Springsteen, U2 and so on, as you'd expect. Some intermediate "bigs" were also there, too many to mention.

There was a definite emphasis on history and origin, so pioneers got a lot of attention, and there is very little having to do with the mid 90's and beyond (but it would have been risky to predict what is GOING to be important in the future anyway...). I liked how there was coverage of sub-factions contributing to rock's popularity, like all the genres connecting to rock (country, bluegrass, jazz, big bands, celtic, blues, folk, gospel, etc.), and broadcast, recording and producing technology, and places. I especially enjoyed coverage of the important space-times in rock: The beginnings in south in the late 50's, the English Invasion and Detroit Motown of the mid 60's, the electrified folk of San Fransisco of the late 60's, punk movements in Britain and New York in the late 70's, and even grunge of Seattle in the early 90's. (The hair metal band movement of the L.A. Sunset Strip in the early 80's was conspicuously missing, though, but overall, it was still very good.) Most all the ingredients of the "stew" seemed to be covered...

There were a couple of 15-minute films to watch in small theater rooms to take a load off your feet, which were very good, too. Escalators taking you from floor to floor made it easy, too...

If you take it all the way to the end, at the tippy top of the pyramid was a floor dedicated to just The Doors and Jim Morrison. A fitting cherry on the top, I'd say!...

Got the t-shirt, of course... I was disappointed that the best designs were picked over for my size, though. I settled on a baseball jersey looking thing, which was decent...

As a rabid fan of the genre and a musician, and one fascinated with its makeup and history, of course I found it a necessary pilgrimage, and I hope to go back a couple more times in my life. But, I'd say that even for the casual layman, this is still quite worth the full (undiscounted) $22 price and trip to the place. It won't disappoint, by any means, and you'll find it very worth it!

Possibly the "Hair Band" area was in one of those sections that were just lost in the maze that you did not find. Did you inquire if this area exsisted?]]> no_email@example.com (BannedFromEARTH) http://www.michiganbands.com/ftopict-148.html http://www.michiganbands.com/ftopict-159.html And there are so many web sites are there to get the jobs now a days.And the students may get their all job information in the web site it self only.
And the web sites are approximately 1000.

Chip of QuiverBone]]> no_email@example.com (Chip) http://www.michiganbands.com/ftopict-111.html http://www.michiganbands.com/ftopict-155.html It would nice to have a link somewhere that directs you
to your own posts; either at the top of the forums page,
or somewhere in the controls on our account page.

I know many of us are on several sites, and it's hard to keep
track of where we've left off in communicating with other users.
Especially when there are a few weeks between a response.

So basically a quick link to find what we last posted to ensure
an accurate response.

Thanks for your time
