Boston ~ Peace of Mind

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGRrOEbY3pI


"Now you're climbin' to the top of the company ladder, hope it doesn't take too long
Can't ya see there'll come a day when it won't matter, come a day when you'll be gone...
I understand about indecision, but I don't care if I get behind
People livin' in competition, all I want is to have my peace of mind"

Love those lyrics.  Boston's debut album had several great songs and this is just one of them. Great guitar work here.
Just a good rock & roll song. They don't make them like this anymore.

yes!

Yes.


I think so too.  Like Eric Burdon's stuff with the Animals better than when we was with "War".

Yeah, he and War together had an early 70's hit with "Spill The Wine"...

Love it! My parents are big fans of the band Boston too. 8)

And that's the only hit of theirs I like. The others "Cisco Kid", "Low Rider", & , "Why can't we be friends" I'm not too keen on.

Lou Reed ~ Walk On The Wild Side

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KaWSOlASWc

Lou Reed. After he left the Velvet Underground, this was his most famous song. It's a song about transexuals, drugs, prostitutes. I love the sax at the end of the song. It's a song that caught your ear when you listened carefully to the lyrics.


"Doo,  do doo, doo,  do doo doo do , doo do...doo do...."


Enjoy.

Yeah, he and War together had an early 70's hit with "Spill The Wine"...


I hear that song all the time.

I hear that song all the time.

I think it might've been the only song he recorded with the band...as most of War's other recordings were sung by their own band members.

Jefferson Airplane ~ White Rabbit

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WANNqr-vcx0

Written and sung by Grace Slick. Obviously inspired by Alice in Wonderland, wacky tabacky, funny mushrooms and acid. All things put together make a great psychadelic classic rock song.

I've always found this song rather weird, but very cool.

"Remember what the doormouse said; FEED YOUR HEAD...FEED YOUR HEAD"

AC/DC  ~ You Shook Me All Night Long

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1BtExxkP0M

One of a few great songs from the album "Back in black". Brian Johnson just stepped in after the death of Bon Scott, and although some said AC/DC's best was with Bon Scott, Brian did a great job on vocals with this one. This song has so much energy, it's one of those that MAKE MY CAR GO FASTER. A classic tune from AC/DC.

It certainly is. I do know other songs by this band (including their early stuff, with Bon Scott as their singer), but this one I know best. :)

Neil Young - Cinnamon Girl

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAdtUDaBfRA

First true CANCON entry in this topic. Neil had been performing since the 1960s and keeps on rocking! This is one of his better known songs, the album "Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere" was released in 1969 and this single (Cinnamon Girl) in 1970. 1970 was a good year for Neil, his "After the gold rush" album was relased later that year, my favorite of his.
I wrote a parody (way back) of this song called "I want a date with that chick Linda Purl"  :D

Great guitar riff to begin the song.

U2 ~ New Year's Day

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVaCOm5FH8c

It's New Years Day, so I chose an appropriate song. It's from U2's album "War", which is for me their best album. I'm not really a fan of U2 much, but I liked their early material. This one is from 1983.  Can't even believe this song is 30 years old. Doesn't seem possible.

Happy New Year's day everyone.  I hope 2013 works out for all of you.

Deep Purple ~ Hush  (1968)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1PNvopXjbg

Some Deep Purple, very early in their career.

"Hush, hush, thought I heard her callin' my name now"

The song did very well in Canada and the U.S. charts, but flew under the radar in UK. The great Ritchie Blackmore on guitar, also love the organ in the song, and the catchy "Na na-na-na na-na -na na-na-na"  (not to be confused with nananana nanananan..Batman!...lol) makes this a classic song.

T.Rex ~ Bang a Gong (Get It On)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVEhDrJzM8E

A classic from 1971. Written by T-Rex's Marc Bolan, this song has a very cool beat. I had a buddy in junior high who played this song all the time on his cassette player at home. We didn't understand the lyrics back then but just sang along with it.

"You've got the teeth of a hydra upon you , you're dirty sweet and you're my girl"

Yes he did, but not as a solo artist. In the mid-80's he fronted a supergroup called The Power Station (which featured Tony Thompson of Chic and Andy and John Taylor from Duran Duran); they performed a cover version of the song and reversed the two phrases in the title ("Get It On (Bang A Gong)").

Yeah, sometimes when an artist covers a song they'll manipulate the title a bit (rather than leave it as is).

Thunderclap Newman ~ Something In The Air  (1969)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8zmkzshUvE

Thunderclap Newman was a British band, more or less put together by Pete Townshend of "The Who", and Pete played bass on the song.

"Call out the instigators, because there's something in the air
We've got to get together sooner or later, because the revolution's here, and you know it's right".

Another "60s" rebellion son. A classic rock song.

Haven't heard that one in ages.

Pink Floyd ~ Time

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYiahoYfPGk

My favorite track from "Dark Side Of The Moon". Roger Waters Base at 0:55 to me is one of the greatest moments in Rock History. In high school I played this song REALLY LOUD at my buddy's place, the base notes shook the floor  ;D

"You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then the one day you find, ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun"

Profound lyrics. IMO one of the greatest rock songs ever.

Paul Revere and The Raiders - Kicks (1966)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P56gRNZanUI

Guitar guitar riff to open the song, and a catchy chorus. Also one of the first "Anti-drug" songs.

"Girl, you thought you found the answer on that magic carpet ride last night
But when you wake up in the mornin' the world still gets you uptight
Well, there's nothin' that you ain't tried to fill the emptiness inside
But when you come back down, girl, still ain't feelin' right"

Lady - Styx

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9ZLEmU-QNY

Badge ~ Cream  (1969)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7rHCYtbZRo

Badge is a song written by Eric Clapton and Beatle George Harrison (they were friends. If you recall, Eric played guitar on the track "While my guitar gently weeps)

From George: "I helped Eric write 'Badge' you know. Each of them had to come up with a song for that Goodbye Cream album and Eric didn't have his written. We were working across from each other and I was writing the lyrics down and we came to the middle part so I wrote 'Bridge.' Eric read it upside down and cracked up laughing-- 'What's BADGE?' he said. After that, Ringo walked in drunk and gave us that line about the swans living in the park."

Love those stories. Badge is my favorite "Cream" song.

I know it somewhat, but don't hear it often. However, I just took a listen to it and enjoyed it.

I'm glad some know Triumph's "Magic Power" south of the border. It is a great song.

Miles Goodwin is a wonderful singer.  This is one of the few early April Wine tunes that even made the US charts. April Wine is my 2nd favorite Canadian band (after the Guess Who)
This song makes you drive a little faster when you are on the road. Lots of energy.

Yeah Darlin' go make it happen, take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once, and explode into space

"I said, Lord, take me downtown,  I'm just lookin' for some tush."

Not my favorite band but I can dig this song.

I never got into them until The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway album.

I didn't know much about their early stuff...until sometime last year when I heard one of their early songs on the radio. I think it was when the station it was on, was doing an alphabetical marathon (playing a good set of their musical library alphabetically by song title).

I don't no their early stuff  definatly an Eliminator fan.

GREAT SONG. It actually reminds me a bit of early foo fighters. I got real fond memories of Eliminator from my teen years. It was hit-or-miss the way ZZ top generally is, but the songs on that album that were on, were really on.

if i had to take just one ZZ top song to listen to on a desert island, though, i think it would be the little-known "manic mechanic." bet Al-B knows this one.

one of their best.

Sweet Emotion yes as well as quite a few others.  Dream on till your bream comes true

Tell you the truth, and this is where I think I'm gonna start losing people, I'm not even that crazy about Dream On. I mean I get it, I get it, it's a working man's Stairway to Heaven (although Stairway to Heaven is, itself, a working man's Stairway to Heaven) but it gets a bit old with the same three chords going on and on for eight minutes. Stairway had arrangement and orchestration. Dream On has bold repetition and Steve Tyler Singing with a capital S. I liked it when I was a kid but when it comes on now, I change the station.

There. I said it, and I'd say it again.

In fact, my official conspiracy theory is that Aerosmith was mysteriously replaced with body doubles for "Sweet Emotion," and Sweet Emotion" only. There's simply no way that band did a song that perfectly badass. The CIA was somehow involved.

You aren't losing me at all, respect your opinion. There are lots of songs considered "classics" that I am not fond of (Stairway to Heaven is one of them)  And yeah Aerosmith did hit lightning in a bottle with "Sweet Emotion".  There are many famous artists and famous songs that I run to the radio (faster than Charlie Sheen goes through a line of coke) and change the station.

Aerosmith was so much better when they were still doing drugs.  :P

by gum, i'm gonna stir up controversy if it kills me: I'm still pro-Stairway. I'm not even tired of it. In fact, I think the vogue for hating on Stairway is based almost solely on the pointing-at-the-"No-Stairway"-sign joke in "Wayne's World," and the related, annoying habit of 15-year-old boys to bang out those first few chords on guitar all the time under the assumption it would instantly get them laid. Well, it's not the song's fault if a bunch of pimply-faced boys imprinted on it like baby ducks! It's a great song.

DOES ANYBODY REMEMBER LAUGHTER?!?!?!1

Aerosmith was so much better when they were still doing drugs.  :P
An unfortunate fact of rock is that this is mostly true of all bands. Man, if I thought it would bring back Cream I'd personally cram an eight-ball up Eric Clapton's nose against his will. what happened to that guy after he made the horrible decision to quit killing himself with coke is unconscienable.

Doobie Brothers ~ Long train running

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnD0eVdHJfI

I just love how this song begins. What an awesome guitar riff! This is my favorite Doobie's song, it has so much energy to it. When I listen to this song, to me it has a slight anger behind it, until just before the end.

"Without love, where would you be now"

The Doobies were so much better before they had that Micheal McDonald sound.  :P

Good song. But I have to admit, my favorite Doobie song is:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSAqkGU2nQ4


Every time I think of the Doobie Brothers, I think of the show What's Happening. There was an ep where they were going to a Doobie Brothers' concert. I think it was Roger who called the hotel and asked, "Which Doobie you be?" That line has stuck with me all these years.



Cat

Yes, the Doobies had several good songs. O0

yup, know my Doobies              Jesus is just all right

I think the best thing about that intro guitar riff in LTR isn't necessarily the guitar riff itself, which is no great shakes -- just an E-minor to D shuffle, as I recall -- but that fabulous up-front tone with that channel-chopped slapback delay or whatever it is. Tailor-made for hi-fis and FM radio, man!

Actually, i don't think it's delay, I think it's double-tracked. In any case, it sounds great.

I always thought it sounded like delay to me. Maybe it's double tracked.  Let's go ask a Doobie. Wait...never mind, they'd be too stoned to remember anyways.

Black Sabbath - Iron Man (1970)

Not a Black Sabbath fan really, but this song by Ozzy Osbourne  was one of those "cool songs" we listened to in high school. Love the guitar at the start and the vocal effects of  "I Am Iron Man".

Yeah, that is the one song of theirs that I know best. :)

I know I parodied Iron Man.  Not a big favorite of mine

Golden Earring ~ Radar Love

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwqMKf7r7Xg

"I've been drivin' all night, my hand's wet on the wheel
There's a voice in my head, that drives my heel
It's my baby callin', says, "I need you here"
And it's half past four, and I'm shifting gear"

Ah, what a great driving tune.

I actually like Black Sabbath quite a bit but Iron Man isn't one of my favorites. Sometimes they had a thoughtful, compelling minimalism thing going, almost a bit like a more gainy, mere sentimental version of The Police, and sometimes it was just doggerel. Most of the hits, like War Pigs and Iron Man, I'm not a big fan of, mostly because you get tired of them very easily because there's not much to them. I kinda prefer their lesser-knowns and B-sides.

Golden Earring ~ Radar Love

I sorta know it. I also know their other big hit, "Twilight Zone" (the longer version of which I prefer).

Bob's "Stranger in town" album was one of the better albums from the 1970s. This song is about Old time Rock and Roll. It's got piano, guitar, sax, just a great rock and roll song. "I reminisce about the days of old with that old time rock and roll"

The short, dark-haired guitar player to the left is George Young, older brother of Malcolm and Angus Young of AC/DC, who along with Harry Vanda (the taller guitar player with the long blonde hair) went on to produce several of AC/DC's albums.  ;)

Thanks. I had heard there was an AC/DC connection but didn't know what it was. (Until now)

Gotta admit that Bob Segar song used to drive me up the wall back in the day. The '70s, in retrospect, were the best era ever for combo rock acts, and here comes this guy saying he wants to go back to Rock Around the Clock and You Ain't Nothin' But a Hound Dog. He was also the guy whose arguably biggest song ever was about what a pain it was to go out on tour. well here's an idea, bob: don't sing the song about going on tour, and then you won't have to GO on tour, and then you won't have to endure the angst and loneliness that led to the song!

Bah, bob segar. I've never been much of a fan.

Don't want to pile on Bob Seger, but whenever I hear the first 8 notes of "Old Time Rock N' Roll" I immediately change the station. I've just heard it way too many times and could care less if I ever hear it again.

On the other hand, I love this song, especially the way the drums keep slamming along non-stop:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2aBOTNGWMY

The clip is from a show called "Happening '69" (back in the innocent days when the phrase "happening 69" wouldn't even cause so much as a snicker) hosted by Paul Revere and the Raiders. Paul Revere does the intro.

Seger looks like he's about 17 here, and for crying out loud get the man a mic stand already! ::)

immediately change the station. I've just heard it way too many times and could care less if I ever hear it again.



That's how I feel about some other classic songs too. "Ramblin gambling man" is another good song by Bob. One of my favorite live albums is "Nine Tonight" by Bob Seger, a 1981 album. "Mainstreet", "Feel like a number", "Trying to live my life without you" and others. I'm not that much of a fan of live albums. This one I like.

Rolling Stones - Can't You Hear Me Knocking

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJ8MvnEVCqM

Great guitar riff to open the song, classic Richards. This was during the Stones "Mick Taylor" period, they came up with lots of really good rock and roll songs on Sticky Fingers & Exile on Main Street.  This track is from "Sticky Fingers". If you had the album (like I did), it's the one with the zipper on the front.

The guitar work at the end of the song belongs to Mick Taylor.

They were British?! That's amazing! I totally lumped them in with the Ted Nugent/Pat Travers genre of blues-based California-style guitar rock.

This was also a big favorite of mine in my youth. These days it seems a bit simplistic, though it's got a great, tremendous sound. And man do they play their little hearts out!

Led Zeppelin - Kashmir

This is one of Led Zeppelin's greatest musical achievements. It's quite transcendental too.

If I had to pick one Led Zeppelin song to listen to, it might be this one. Again, this was another very popular song in High School for me.

It IS a great song, but I have to admit it does go on a bit long. I mean, I get why, they're sorta trying to capture the feeling of a caravan in the desert, etc., but for some reason i get restless in a way that I don't for the endless coda in that Grand Funk Closer to Home song. I think because the Grand Funk vamp crescendoes, Kashmir seems to just repeat.

Steely Dan ~ Do it again

My 2nd favorite Steely Dan song. This song takes me on a trip sometimes, a very cool song. It's from Steely Dan's first album, released in 1972.

Blue Cheer - Summertime Blues (1968)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXcYZsqkZ-g

I like their version of 'Summertime Blues". It's one of the first songs to ever make the pop charts that can be classified as "Heavy Metal". I love the guitar work on here. Very Hendrix like in my opinion.

Isn't that Hey Nineteen?


right Hey Nineteen, thanks Ninny.  ;D

I can't remember having listened to it, either. Maybe I did once many years ago but have forgotten about it.

Creedence Clearwater Revival ~ Down On The Corner (1969)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clJb4zx0o1o

"Down On The Corner, out in the street, Willy and the Poor boys are playin', bring a nickel...tap your feet."

Such a fine song to sing along to, or tap your feet. This song often lifts me up when I am down, it has a good vibe to it, a "morphic field" about it.

CCR is the perfect music for cruising around the lake in a pontoon boat. ;)

Bryan Adams ~ Summer of '69

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9f06QZCVUHg

One of the few selections from the mid80s that I'll add. This is just a great Rock n Roll song, it's a wonderful driving tune, it makes your car go faster and faster ;D  My favorite Bryan Adams song.

I LOVE Bryan Adams. Went to see him in concert a few years back. When I heard he was coming to our little corner of the world, I told Carlos "We ARE going" not "Would you like to go."  :D ;D ;D ;D  He enjoyed the concert, too. One of the better concerts we have been to.

Bryan Adams has a lot of good songs. I think it's funny because he was only 10 in The Summer 0f '69 ;D

Indeed he does. And he was actually 9 then, as he didn't turn 10 till November. And from what I have read, the song's content has nothing to do with his own life, but rather that of Jim Vallance, who co-wrote the song.

Blind Faith ~ Can't Find My Way Home  (1969)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFSm6x2fIZI

One of the first "Super Groups", some of the members were Eric Clapton & Ginger Baker from "Cream", Steve Winwood from "Spencer Davis"  The broke up after only putting out one album. This is a classic track from that album.
