The clip was from the opening scene of "Rocky Horror Picture Show."

WOS: Crapton's unnecessary, reggaefied "Knockin on Heaven's Door"
Title: Re: 13 Jan 2015: it's... 1975!

This is so far really strong. The Seger song gets my overall BOS so far but we still have a ways to go. Hoping for more goodies.

Aside: Anyone remember seeing the "Hard Rain" TV special that aired (I think) in the fall of '76, about the Rolling Thunder Revue? I only saw it the one time, and I'm a little surprised it hasn't been issued on DVD. On the other hand, considering this is Dylan we're talking about, maybe not so much.

Clapton, Knocking on Heaven's Door. OK, so it's sort of a Dylan twin-spin but mostly meh.

I can never get tired of this Spinners song: it is both a sledgehammer for when I was 12 years old, and also because it is the copy editor's nightmare!

BOS#2, #1 being Dylan.

The oddly punctuated Games (People Play). Or something like that. Yeah, I'll venture a VHM here as well.

Exactly!

Oh, and hey Shray! Nice to see you again! By any chance are you in the city any day this week?

IIRC, this was released on solo albums by both Paul and Artie.

I guess I'm leaning towards a 4 or more way split for BOS, Zep, Dylan, Spinners & S&G.

Jaws "we're gonna need a bigger boat" --> Leon and his lady go back to the island. And I don't mean Lawn Guyland.

absolutely correct, both "Still Crazy After All These Years" and "Breakaway".  The latter is actually the better album IMHO.

I thought that's where S&G's Little Town was. :)

indeed, his '70s solo stuff is WAY underrated. He said that Breakaway was intended as an updated "make-out" album. His versions of "99 Miles From LA" and "Waters of March" are wonderful.

we remain seabound: Rod Stewart, "Sailing", which is a def rarity if not a bustout.

ETA: it appears to be the latter.  And quite lovely, so BOS5FRA. One of his tracks that was a huge UK hit and didn't do much here, iirc.

ETA2: it was a #1 UK hit in '75 and was re-released a year later and got to #3 (!). Orig recorded by the Sutherland Bros.

Emily Litella: "eagle rights amendment" --> Eagles.  Sorry, "Take it to the Limit" is our uber-LN today. But this was pretty damn swell overall.

no argument LN-wise, but at least it was a pretty good segue!

Wondering if any of these 10 songs will show up in  A-to-Z and I'm guessing none -- in pre-DC days the Dylan, Eagles, and Steely Dan tunes would surely have made the cut and maybe the Zep too.
