I like that song but "Jackie Blue interruptus" still irritates me after all these years. JBI is when a radio station plays the shortened version of the song which leaves out


Every day in your indigo eyes
I watch the sun set but I don`t see it rise
Your lightning, stars, and your strawberry wine
You take the world but you won`t take the time


:-[

don't cross the river by America
and
anything by Sweet

message in a bottle- Police
Rock and Roll Soul- Grand Funk
Paranoid- Black sabbath
Roundabout- Yes

Lately I am addicted to You Can't Dance  by Jackson Hawke

For you folks in the States, it was a Top 50 (US #49) hit for England Dan and John Ford Coley in 1978, but this original by Jackson Hawke was far superior, and a smash hit across Canada in 1976.  It's a shame there is truth to this song title, because if I could dance, I'd be cutting a rug right now 8)

Magdalena- Danny O'keefe

Daydream Believer - the original version by John Stewart

I can listen to them over and over  and over.......

"With Your Love" by Jefferson Starship
"Shambala" by Three Dog Night
"Sunshine" by Jonathan Edwards

"With Your Love" by Jefferson Starship

Love that one!  8)


One I've been hearing a lot lately that's really starting to grow on me...

'I Got My Mind Made Up' by Instant Funk (1979)

'I Got My Mind Made Up' by Instant Funk (1979)


Heh! Powerful memories of that one...

Not at the time it came out, but actually way into the 80s...it was extremely popular on pirate radio stations!

That's interesting!  :D

I don't remember ever hearing the song at the time it came out...

...in fact, the only way I've been hearing it is through one of the XM music channels on satellite TV...

The song's pretty cool except for the part where the girl repeats the line, 'Say what?...'  ::) 

That's interesting!  :D

I don't remember ever hearing the song at the time it came out...

Nor me...in fact, it was never a huge hit here (#46) but mention it to any passing 40-something 'soul boy' and his eyes will moisten!

One of my favorite disco/soul tunes from the 70's is 'Dazz' by Brick...

Several months ago my hubby invited an older friend over to our house...and while we were all sitting around on the lanai drinking margaritas, the guy's cell phone rang...

Instantly, I recognized the ringtone as being from that song, and when I mentioned it to the guy he was flabbergasted that I knew what it was!  :o :D

Heh!

I sometimes experience that when I somehow catch a snippet of a 'hip and trendy' modern tune...

Nine times out of ten it will contain some sort of 'sample' from an oldie, which makes me retch a bit!  :P

Yes...I hate that!

Why can't people just leave the 'classics' alone?!!  ::)

September, Boogie Wonderland, Shining Star, and After the Love Has Gone-Earth, Wind, and Fire
Philadelphia Freedom and Your Song-Elton John
You're No Good-Linda Ronstadt
Good Times-Chic
Baby Come Back-Player

"Jackie Blue" by Ozark Mountain Daredevils (for the past few months)

I like that song but "Jackie Blue interruptus" still irritates me after all these years. JBI is when a radio station plays the shortened version of the song which leaves out


Every day in your indigo eyes
I watch the sun set but I don`t see it rise
Your lightning, stars, and your strawberry wine

:-[




I have never heard that verse...so I guess I'm only familiar with "~ Interruptus" then.

Wild Cherry's "Play That Funky Music" must also have an "interruptus" version, as I have heard some stations edit out the second verse ("I tried to understand them...")

Songbird by Fleetwood Mac/Christie McVie

I'm more obsessed with 80's songs these days.....especially by The Smiths.

Sparks - This Town Ain't Big Enough for the both of us
Roxy Music - Prairie Rose
Ian Gomm - Hold On
Sammy Johns - Chevy Van
Jay Ferguson - Thunder Island

Ian Gomm - Hold On
Sammy Johns - Chevy Van


Two excellent songs!  8)

I was like that...about 10 years ago. That was one of the bands I enjoyed listening to (and still do).

Lotta love, Nicolette larson
Pete Townsend solo albums.

Scotch on the Rocks - Band of the Black Watch

I never realized that a pipe and drum military march could be so catchy!  How come there are no songs with bagpipes in the charts no more?

Abba - The Album

Good stuff.  When I was a kid, I thought her voice was haunting and scary.  Is that weird?  She has an amazing voice like nobody else.

I have been rocking out to Paul Simon recently.  A favorite is....
