OT: Classic Music Playlist

[darksabre]

I just don't like his music. And I truly believe he is a righteous dude.

You and Josie are cut from the same cloth. I'm not a Bruce fanatic but she straight up doesn't like his music. Which I can understand, because there is a ton of music out there that is absolutely better.

I liken Bruce to Gord Downie. They're both polarizing singers. But knowing their music is crucial to understanding the countries they come from. Bruce is to the American identity what Gord was to Canadianity.

[Jacque Richard]

Boring songs the artist you mention have others better songs in my opinion

[jsb]

 

Does Steppenwolf get in with Born to Be Wild?

 

Magic Carpet Ride???

 

110) Bob Dylan...... Desolation Row or Knockin' on Heavens Door

59) Joe Cocker........... The Letter

88) Steve Miller............. Jet Airliner

89) Rod Stewart.........  I know I'm losing you

132) Men at Work......... Who can it be Now

137) The Band.......... Up on Cripple Creek from The Last Waltz

148) Dave Clark Five.... Bits and Pieces

152) Van Morrison......  Caravan

Paul Butterfield Blues Band...... Mystery Train

Neil Diamond...........   Dry Your Eyes

[GASabresIUFAN]

Speaking of Glam:

Mott the Hoople: All the Young Dudes.

 

Totally different song. Mellenhead's is him recollecting adventures from his youth in (or, more specifically, outside) a townie bar.

No kidding. I like the Runaways Cherry Bomb better. I’m not a Mellencamp fan. He tried to pick up my girlfriend at a bar in Bloomington right in front of me. Not cool.

 

I think of All the Young Dudes as a Bowie sing, but he wrote it for them and they released it first.

[Sabres Fan in NS]

Both those are excellent, but no love for Ballroom Blitz?

 

The Damned did an awesome cover of Ballroom Blitz.  I vote for that one.

 

Also, was Fast Car not by Tracy Chapman?

[LGR4GM]

Breaking out Metallica then I can't go with wherever I may roam.  You gotta go enter sandman.... Im kidding. One, Master of Puppets, Welcome Home (Sanitarium), Unforgiven, and All Nightmare Long. 

 

Foo Fighters: Learn to Fly or The Pretender 

[SwampD]

I guess I just hate America.

 

(Nfreeman nods his head in the affirmative)

[North Buffalo]

The Guess Who then... American Woman

[LGR4GM]

Bob Seger, old time rockin roll 

[Taro T]

It was. Totally biffed on her name. :doh:

Bummer of a story. Assuming that was pre-heart attack for him. Supposedly, ge toned down the d-baggery significantly after that.

 

And, yeah, AtYD is a Bowie song, but Mott's version was better & the standard. Kind of like Blinded by the Light's definitive version was Manfred Mann's take on it, not the author's version.

[GASabresIUFAN]

Bruce wrote Blinded by the Light, but his version is awful.

[Sabres Fan in NS]

The Specials ... Gangsters

 

Madness ... One Step Beyond

 

The Bodysnatchers ... Easy Life

 

:flirt:

[Taro T]

Bruce wrote Blinded by the Light, but his version is awful.

Correct on both counts.

[Sabres Fan in NS]

Bob Marley ... old (with Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer) ... Rastaman Chant

 

Bob Marley ... newer (?) ... Exodus

[darksabre]

I haven't seen these yet, and frankly it's very tough for me to pick just one song for each of these, so I wont:

 

Scorpions - The Zoo/Wind of Change/Still Loving You

 

Dio - Holy Diver/Rainbow in the Dark (but honestly every song on Holy Diver is good)

 

Iron Maiden - Where Eagles Dare/Flight of Icarus/Be Quick or Be Dead

 

Creedence Clearwater Revival - Ramble Tamble/Run Through the Jungle/Long As I Can See The Light (For my money Cosmo's Factory is one of the best, most complete albums ever made. Ever.)

 

for funsies

Jackyl - The Lumberjack

[Doohickie]

The Specials ... Gangsters

 

Madness ... One Step Beyond

 

The Bodysnatchers ... Easy Life

 

:flirt:

 

Hear hear.  I almost suggested that one too.

[hsif]

Outlaws - Green Grass and High Tides.............. Played it for my early 20 daughters 2 weeks ago..... they had never heard it.

[Doohickie]

152) Van Morrison......  Caravan

 

Very nice.  The world needs more Van the Man.

[josie]

Quick question:  What genre would you put Van Morrison in?  Rock?  Pop?  Folk?  Jazz?  Seriously, dude is all over the place.

Jazzy Rock maybe, most under rated artist of all time

[Doohickie]

Jazzy Rock maybe, most under rated artist of all time

 

But Folk too!  I agree about underrated though.  I would love to see him in a small club with just one or two backing musicians.  That would be my dream concert.

[GASabresIUFAN]

I've added a couple of polls for the Who, Zeppelin and Bowie.  Lets see how they go and see if we can start finalizing this list.  

 

How about some one hit wonders like

Soft Cell - Tainted Love

Dexy - Come on Eileen

[Sabel79]

YES!!!!! Ubrite. Be careful of Sabel79 though, they're on a rampage

 

 

 

I try not to be that guy who likes to argue with people about matters of personal taste. Like what you like. That song though... legitimately makes me angry. It's a me issue...
