sineast Posted August 6, 2009 Author Share Posted August 6, 2009 The first lads of punk rock. Rotten and Vicious were lazy louts, so some real musicians had to be along: Steve Jones and Paul Cook. It worked out well for a short time. If the Pistols had been around long enough, this could have become their theme song, Pretty Vacant. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxjLWu7-fEM Link to post Share on other sites
sineast Posted August 7, 2009 Author Share Posted August 7, 2009 One of the best of the power trios. They weren't together for a long time, but still put out some great music. Cream doing the old blues classic, Sitting on Top of the World. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSvpGZOsKZU Okay, MFYTPOS wouldn't consent to play that one. Let me try Sunshine of Your Love instead. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_7xDGhOVjk Message was edited by: sineast Link to post Share on other sites
sineast Posted August 8, 2009 Author Share Posted August 8, 2009 Gentleman Jim Reeves had loads of #1 hits on the Country charts, but only one of them crossed over and made the Hot 100 top 10, his huge hit He'll Have to Go. Just wouldn't be the same with a cell. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbaVEZ-31lw Link to post Share on other sites

From the Freddie Mercury Memorial Concert, the royal family of English rock, glitter/glam branch.

sineast Posted August 13, 2009 Author Share Posted August 13, 2009 The Jam were from the punk/new wave era, but added a mod sensibility and a touch of Motown to the proceedings. Here they perform Town Called Malice. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ay_DmG4uGnU&NR=1 Link to post Share on other sites

One more time. The Cranberries performing Linger. Link to post Share on other sites
sineast Posted August 15, 2009 Author Share Posted August 15, 2009 Okay, the Who didn't work out too well the first time. Let me try the Who 2.0 and see if that turns out better. Taking a brief tour of teenage wasteland via Baba O'Riley. Link to post Share on other sites

sineast Posted August 18, 2009 Author Share Posted August 18, 2009 Good old Ringo got to sing at least one song on every Beatles' album. He does the lead vocals on the Beatles' cover of Buck Owens's big hit Act Naturally. Even won an Oscar. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KO2sjR6XP9U George is getting sick of SMFYTPOS. He's very frustrated with this garbage site. They better get on the ball or George will be angry. Ringo got shafted again. Let me try this one, It Won't Be Long by the Beatles http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8ai5fleyjA Link to post Share on other sites
movieman1957 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 If the first one was "Act Naturally" it is not coming up but that's ok because it is not very high on my list. Otherwise "It Won't Be Long" is a fine song. A like the way that after it rips through the song it has the lovely four chord tag to end it. Link to post Share on other sites
sineast Posted August 18, 2009 Author Share Posted August 18, 2009 Yes, I don't think Act Naturally would be too high on anyone's list of best Beatles' songs, but it is a good little number, and Ringo doesn't get to be to the forefront very often. Going to try one more time to post it with a different number and see what happens. Nope. SMFYTPOS SOS Link to post Share on other sites
sineast Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 Joy Division had a brief run in 1979 and 1980, when lead singer Ian Curtis committed suicide. The band had previously agreed that if any member left the group, they would no longer use the name, and they kept to that, morphing into the synth band New Order, which went on to further success. Joy Division doing their semi-downer rock song Love Will Tear Us Apart. Link to post Share on other sites
sineast Posted August 20, 2009 Author Share Posted August 20, 2009 Haven't had much luck in posting a Roxy Music song, let me try this one and see what happens. Roxy's heyday was in the early to mid 1970s, but like a lot of bands, they would go on "hiatus" and pop up with with a new album every once in a while. Here is a later version of the group covering John Lennon's Jealous Guy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FuMi2hhg_w Link to post Share on other sites

sineast Posted August 24, 2009 Author Share Posted August 24, 2009 Blind Faith was one of the first "super groups." They didn't last very long, and only released one album, which was a very impressive debut/farewell record. Here is a live version of Can't Find My Way Home. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUW1SGF7bR8&feature=related Link to post Share on other sites
sineast Posted August 25, 2009 Author Share Posted August 25, 2009 Brian Eno was with Roxy Music for their first two albums, then went solo, leading to an influential career, though he never sold many albums. And here's the rare video that is a good complement to the music, By This River. Link to post Share on other sites
sineast Posted August 26, 2009 Author Share Posted August 26, 2009 With all the Deadheads out there, you'd think there'd be a whole pile of videos available, but there really isn't. Maybe they were busy doing other things. Here is one good one from about 1970, when Pigpen was still vertical, New Speedway Boogie. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVsSKuxyaro&feature=related Link to post Share on other sites

musicalnovelty Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Thanks for the Brian Eno link. Those four Eno albums from 74 to 77 - Among the VERY BEST EVER...EVER !!

sineast Posted August 29, 2009 Author Share Posted August 29, 2009 Haven't listened to them recently, but I agree, they are four great albums, and contain a lot of different styles of music. Too bad they never sold very well. Let me see if YouTube will cooperate a little and post a song from Eno's first solo album. Baby's on Fire is a fine rock song with a fantastic guitar solo by Robert Fripp. The video is okay, better than looking at the album cover for five minutes. Link to post Share on other sites
