E-rock Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 I set out to find a good photo of that ugly bastard Mithc Ryder...and instead found this interesting Top 10 songs of 1966 list: 1. I'm A Believer - Monkees 2. Summer In The City - Lovin' Spoonful 3. Wild Thing - Troggs 4. Hanky Panky - Tommy James And The Shondells 5. When A Man Loves A Woman - Percy Sledge 6. Soul And Inspiration - The Righteous Brothers 7. Monday, Monday - Mamas And Papas 8. Good Vibrations - The Beach Boys 9. Devil With A Blue Dress On - Mitch Ryder & The Detroit Wheels 10. Good Lovin' - Young Rascals Funny thing is that I and probably most of you can sing all of those songs, except maybe for the Righteous Bros tune. I wonder how 1996 will look 30 years from now? You RAWK, RobBob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chucK Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 I only looked for my favorite lyric of that song. Sure enough, it was wrong. "C'mon baby let's go downtown" is gotta be one of the best Neil rockers "Snake eyes, french fries, I got lots of gas..." Funny thing about "Rockin' in the Free World" is I never really listened to it. I just heard the chorus and thought it was this dumb sellout song. Then I saw it in concert and he played it all sad and sorrowful instead of the "radio version", and I finally realized that the "keep on rockin'" was a sarcastic dig at Reagan. Guess I was outa the loop. He probably made lots of money though from people like me that didn't listen closely to the lyrics, but unlike me relished the idea of "bombing the russians in 5 minutes".

RobBob Posted March 1, 2004 Author Share Posted March 1, 2004 The Troggs rock, E-Rock. I remember Wild Thing when it came out on the radio. I was 6, and my older bro had the transistor cranked as he did some repair work on our dock. Between that weird song and the summer heat, I had this mental picture of the Troggs being Mexican guys singing with sombreros on. Maybe they were... Then there was that great Sam Kineson cover.

Dru Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 He came dancing across the water With his galleons and guns Looking for the new world In that palace in the sun. On the shore lay montezuma With his coca leaves and pearls In his halls he often wondered With the secrets of the worlds. And his subjects gathered ’round him Like the leaves around a tree In their clothes of many colors For the angry gods to see. And the women all were beautiful And the men stood straight and strong They offered life in sacrifice So that others could go on. Hate was just a legend And war was never known The people worked together And they lifted many stones. They carried them to the flatlands And they died along the way But they built up with their bare hands What we still can’t do today. And I know she’s living there And she loves me to this day I still can’t remember when Or how I lost my way. He came dancing across the water Cortez, cortez What a killer.

RobBob Posted March 1, 2004 Author Share Posted March 1, 2004 This just in, chuck: Like A Hurricane is Neil Young's best. Actually, C'mon Baby Let's Go Downtown, and Cortez the Killer are pretty good/more obscure ones. (oops, you guys already said this) My alltime fave of his non-hits was that one that began "Look out Mama there's a white boat comin' up the river/there's a big red beacon and a flag and a man on the rail/I guess you better call John 'cause it don't look like they're here to deliver the mail..." I dunno. It's hard to pick a Neil Young fave, actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 Danger bird, he flies alone And he rides the wind back to his home Although his wings have turned to stone And we used to be so calm Now I think about you all day long 'Cause you've been with another man Here you are and here I am. That's the moment that he cracked long ago in the museum with his friends. The jailbird takes the raps And he finds himself spread-eagled on the tracks But the training that he learned will get him nowhere fast. And I know we should be free But freedom's just a prison to me 'Cause I lied to keep it kind When I left you far behind. With the rain pounding on his back he recalls the moment that he cracked long ago in the museum with his friends. And like those memories the rain keeps pounding down, down, down. And though these wings have turned to stone I can fly fly fly away. Watch me fly above the city Like a shadow on the sky. Fly, fly, fly.

Dru Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 how can Powderfinger be obscure Robbob, when there is even a band named after it??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobBob Posted March 1, 2004 Author Share Posted March 1, 2004 fuck, I dunno, Dru, I'm still hung-over from New Orleans, trying to work, act like I'm paying attention to a yahoo in my office, and post too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chucK Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 Powderfinger. Yeah that's a great one. Sedan Delivery is awesome too. Last night I was cool at the pool hall Held the table for eleven games Nothing was easier than the first seven I beat a woman with varicose veins. She stopped to see herself in the mirror Fix her hair and hide heir veins And she lost the game. Like a Hurricane I could do without, but seems like a lotta people like it. Better than Devil with a Blue Dress though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattp Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 (edited) Yeah, but was the song about a Hurricane? (By the way, it makes you wonder if they are wearing insulating shoes or something, doesn't it? All that power, and they're jumping up and down in piles of cords and stuff, in the rain...)

mattp Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 Derivative, but rocking: Outshined, and several other cuts from Badmotorfinger. Soundgarten didn't do a damned thing that Led Zeppelin didn't do twenty years earlier, but who's complaining? I've got an audioslave CD, but who else is doing the heavy metal thing with that kind of vigor right now? (By the way, don't miss the Melvins next week if you want to bang your head!)

willstrickland Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 There are two in fact, and they are: Stevie Ray Vaughan's version of Little Wing - no commentary needed. Miles Davis, the entire Bitches Brew Album - again, if you don't know, you better ask somebody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
