"Bad Time", anyone? or perhaps Pure Prairie League? Pilot?
I'd love Ray Stevens' "Misty" -- like THAT'LL happen!
-
We got Pilot's "Magic" last time the Drive went '75, I think. But Pure Prairie League seems likely, as does Paul Simon (One Man's Ceiling?) And maybe some live Joni from Miles of Aisles...?
-
Paul Simon (One Man's Ceiling?) ...?
that was '73 but "50 Ways to Love Your Liver" is possible. Better yet, his duet w/Phoebe Snow. Didja know that was supposed to be Bette Midler but her record company balked?
and of course "Magneto & Titanium Macca" is always welcome.

BOS the Who; VHM Ms. Ronstadt, "When Will I Be Mrs Brown?"
-
"hit him like a fr-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat train"
sweet
-
HM to "Simple Twist of Fate," which I haven't heard since college.
Think we'll get something from Young Americans later?
-
"hit him like a fr-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat train"
sweet
indeed VHM at very least just for being something other than "Tangled Up in Blue" So many other great songs on this LP.
-
"Feel Like Makin Love" -- oh to hear the Millie Jackson cover version.
-
what I remember most about this song is that silly little bass zoop after the chorus (somewhere near the end?)
-
WOS to "Feel Like Makin' Love," mostly because I'm still appalled at Paul Rodgers taking Freddie Mercury's place in the re-Queen debacle.

not being a Bad Company or Queen fan, I'm not particularly enraged, but it does seem like an odd fit indeed.
-
Bob's cranked up the cheeze-meter with "Don't Call Us, We'll Call You." Corny Wurlitzer riffs for $200, Alex!
-
ha! i just heard the bass zoop, geoff. weird.
paul simon and phoebe snow? and millie jackson covering bad co? i need to get out more.
yeah, paul rodgers is on my nay-nay list, too. though i can't think of anyone who should replace freddie, i can think of a dozen reasons why paul rodgers should not.
-
"He said 'you got my number?'"
"I said, 'Yeah I got it the minute you walked in the door...'"
So, are they PLAYING in "lousy joints"... or smoking them?
-
P.S. Around this same time, Paul Revere & the Raiders had a non-hit called "Song Seller" that totally nicks this, right down to name-dropping Ringo. They did some truly embarrassing stuff after "Indian Reservation" and "Birds of a Feather."

BOS the Who; VHM Ms. Ronstadt, "When Will I Be Mrs Brown?"
just got here, what was the Who song?
anyone know what the backwards masking at the beginning of "Fire On High" says?
(I do)
-

Jimmy Somerville? Andy Bell?
Neither of whom could pull off "Fat Bottomed Girls," I daresay.
If it's not the guy from the Darkness, it's not happening. And I prefer that it not happen.
ETA: How about George Michael?
-
hey, geoff - that's no fun!

Part of me hates to have the surprise ruined. The rest of me is grateful that I was able to turn off the volume before the excrement that is "The No No Song" came on.

agreed. i don't think it should happen at all. but if it does, i'd prefer it to be tongue-in-cheek. maybe even mirv could do it. or pavarotti.

oo, yeah I forgot about the Darkness guy. They could change the song to "Fat Bottomed Bears", perhaps.

"In black and white... no offense!"
Harmless, sure. But I *hate* badly-done accents ("it was de best in oh de land"), I get annoyed by the laziness of songwriting that uses the same rhyme in every verse ("did not understand / best in all de land"), the line "no thank you please, it only makes me sneeze" is cringeworthy (and nonsensical when it comes to the homebrew), and the fact that Ringo was actually doing all of these things (probably right there in the studio) isn't funny-ironic even though he certainly thought so at the time.
-

Not for nothing, I thought he and Gary Myrick ("She Talks in Stereo") were the same person for a long time.

That was the very definition of over-thinking that which does not need to be over-thought :wink:

the "Classaic Rock That Rocks" format pretty much revolves around that description -- I'd rather hear Head East than, say, the Scorpions.

Well, I guess it's just the combination of their original mix tone, what WM player does, coming through my tinny computer speaker, that gives me this incipient headache. Sorry to have dissed someone's favorite song. I'm going to find my advil now.

Also just about the only artist from St. Louis of any significance to pop up between Chuck Berry & Nelly.
Interesting observation! The only others I can think of are Smith (their 1969 #5 cover of "Baby It's You") and their lead singer Gayle McCormick (who had a minor charter in 1971 called "It's a Crying Shame").
Bloodstone ("Natural High") were from K.C., right?

iTunes has this song, and some others, if you only want to go 99 cents at a time.

Bloodstone, yes. I'd never heard of Smith, but Whitburn has them as an L.A. act. McCormick doesn't have a solo entry in the Top 40.
There was a group called Pavlov's Dog that my friends & I liked & had their album, contemporaneous with Head East, but they never broke nationally.
Given how important St. Louis was in the pre-R'n'R era (From Scott Joplin to W.C. Handy, etc.) it's really amazing that just nothing happened for 40 years. I mean Pittsburgh is a music mecca by comparison.

I'll give it to you for free, along with the 3 or 4 others I have already downloaded. Let's have a Mtn View lunch tomorrow! We can hook up with DaveMack most likely.

I had the album. Okay, I had it on 8-track. Can't recall a single other track though. I think those two were it.

Not to mention the splitting of songs between two sides. For years I thought the Eagles' "Best of My Love" had a false stop after the first refrain. It was just the jump from Track 1 to Track 2 (or 2 to 3, I don't remember now).
-
I'd never heard of Smith
Their "Baby It's You" cover was actually pretty strong, prominent bass line, but there seemed to be a plethora of blondes singing blues/rock at the time too. My college crowd really got into this band called CK Strong, which I doubt any of you have heard, but the vocalist was awesome. Never heard them again.

ha! i'd forgotten about that. but, i, too, thought all groups wrote songs in two parts. like it was a "fingertips" syndrome.

Maybe you guys have heard of the lead singer, Lynn Carey, she was in this group called Mama Lion, and sang the lead (not sure if she was the actory) in the Carrie Nations in the Valley of the Dolls movie. Here's an interesting photo; how did I miss this?

anyone know what the backwards masking at the beginning of "Fire On High" says?
(I do)
The music is reversible, but time is not. Turn back! Turn back!
Or something like that.
And as for artists from St. Louis, I would submit Uncle Tupelo. OK, they started in Belleville Illinois, but that's fairly close to St. Louis, and I know that two of the original member still live there. (And the third, Jeff Tweedy, still roots for the Cards and the Blues.)

Please tell me she's not actually nursing that lion cub.

Apparently that's the idea. This was quickly censored, and became a collectible. The band was called Mama Lion (don't know if this or the Crosby/Nash song of the same name came first), so you get the general idea. Ms. Carey was apparently quite the hottie, as all I had to go on at the time was a group shot from the first CK Strong LP, and was the Penthouse Pet in December 1972 as well! I guess this gives me something to search for idly on ebay in my spare time (not till Summer!)

i admit it took four viewings before i realised there was a boobie.

exactly right on the ELO trivia, although I think it's 'Go Back' not 'Turn Back'
I'll gladly accept Uncle Tupelo, Belleville is definitely considered a suburb of St. Louis. Peter Buck apparently spent some time there (or in neighboring Collinsville) at least I had a friend who claimed to have worked with him in some crappy part-time job there.
