EugeniaH Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 As I go further into a time warp with these music threads... I'm a kid again. One of the great classics, "Blinded By the Light" (I'm sure this must have already been posted by now...) Link to post Share on other sites

casablancalover Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 I could imagine the bedroom of misswonderly, circa 1967, and there are posters and pictures papering the walls. I must be wired differently; I never idolized the singers. The Beatles were the first to get me to notice individual members, but the music was always first to me. I must be too goody-two shoes about it. It is sort of cool how many kept performing even into grandpa status. I wonder what Jimmie Page looks like now? Oh, he still has a certain charm.. How did he start? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0tAOIQiz-8 Happy Mother's Day from here, misswonderly.. Link to post Share on other sites

DownGoesFrazier Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I love this song and much of the Moodies' stuff from "Days of Future Passed" forward. Link to post Share on other sites
EugeniaH Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Great song, darkblue. I hadn't heard it before. Here's a "moody" track of a different kind - Emerson Lake & Palmer's "Lucky Man": Link to post Share on other sites

casablancalover Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Thanks so much, haven't heard that in quite a while. Terrible title for a great song.. I guess it was the times. The Easybeats. Yes, I want it to be Friday.. NOW.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIHApLefyfA&feature=related Link to post Share on other sites
scottman1932 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Nice track, I had forgotten about that one! The Newbeats: Link to post Share on other sites
DownGoesFrazier Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 "Friday on my Mind" may be the greatest song ever recorded by a "one-hit wonder". Link to post Share on other sites
misswonderly3 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 casablancalover, thank you so much for that clip of JImmy Page from the 50s- he looks about 12 years old ! "Skiffle" music as it was called in Britain, and as you most likely already know, was very popular in that country in the 50s. All the young guys were in "skiffle" bands, the rock and roll came later. I tried and tried to find a pic of Jimmy Page when he was a little older, maybe at the peak of his Led Zeppelin days, but couldn't see one that demonstrated what I meant about how sexy he was. Something about the attentive way he'd be concentrating on his guitar, as though nothing else existed at that moment. However, sorry to disappoint, but in terms of that image of me circa 1967 with posters all over my bedroom, I was a kid - 9- and not one of those kids who pay attention to rock or pop music. I didn't really "get into" music like that til I was about 12 ( hey, when you're a kid, 3 years makes a huge difference.) I believe I had wallpaper with flowers and ballet shoes adorning my room. Outside my window was my neighbour's cherry tree, which I couldn't take my eyes off of in the spring. But I digress. Link to post Share on other sites

EugeniaH Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 The Police are like the Beatles to me - I like so many of their songs I've lost count. Here's one of them - "Secret Journey": Link to post Share on other sites

DownGoesFrazier Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 To me, the Police were superior to the Beatles.(But above all else, I'm a "New Wave" guy.) While I was on the bike this morning, Sirius "First Wave" played both "Driven to Tears" and "When the World is Coming Down". Sublime.

EugeniaH Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 *To me, the Police were superior to the Beatles.* Wow, really? That's an interesting point of view. I think the Beatles had more range musically than the Police (just off the top of my head - I guess I have to think about that more), but I think that Sting as a lyric writer is right up there with them. One of the best. Here's another gem: "Message in a Bottle": Link to post Share on other sites
EugeniaH Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Great choice. And after the songwriter comes through it all to the other side, he writes a song like this. One of my all-time favorites. "If I Ever Lose My Faith in You": Link to post Share on other sites
casablancalover Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I missed this man's birthday. May 14. I will play my favorite. [bobby Darin|http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bRAtV-jgoQ] Link to post Share on other sites
DownGoesFrazier Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I'll tell you one thing......If you take the % of great songs out of total songs recorded, the Police were way ahead of the Beatles. Their discography is obviously more limited, but you can't penalize them for that. Link to post Share on other sites
DownGoesFrazier Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Funny. "Every Breath you Take" is one of the few Police songs I don't like. Link to post Share on other sites
EugeniaH Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I'll grant you that The Police are one of the best pop bands of all time. They were innovative, mixing hooky pop with reggae, jazz... It was a shame they broke up, but they did leave "on top" (and before they killed each other, heh). One 80s band I feel doesn't get enough respect is Duran Duran. They made a lot of great songs, and wrote their own stuff. Love Simon LeBon as a lyricist. Among all the songs by them I like, here is "Careless Memories": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1N19zOBKCE Link to post Share on other sites
DownGoesFrazier Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Duran Duran did two great songs, "Planet Earth" and "Rio". Link to post Share on other sites
EugeniaH Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 How about "Girls on Film?" Now there's a catchy tune. I like your choices, too. I also like "Lonely in Your Nightmare", from Rio (this whole album is terrific): Link to post Share on other sites
