"My favorite year" is probably the wrong way to put it; but one of the most important years of my life. I predict 3DN and/or BW Stevenson. But I'd really like an Innervisions album track: "Too High", "Misstra Know-it-All", "Golden Lady"...
-
You're right with the implicit assumption that "Shambala" is likely for today. I'm gonna guess something from Led Zep, along with "Hold Your Head Up" unless that was '72. But if Bob pulled out something like Aretha's "Master of Eyes (The Deepness of Your Eyes)," I'd prolly fall off my chair.

Indeed it was, but Argent's "God Gave Rock'n'Roll to You" was '73. Better their version than the KISS remake :wink:

I've only ever heard the KISS version -- which, I must add, I thought was gonna be a HUGE hit. Liked it a lot.

Tempted to give a BOS to Gun Hill Road, which I didn't know was a street in NYC (the Bronx, I believe) until I moved here.
-
Deep Purple showing how redundant it is to release a live version of your hit the same year.
OMG ! Gun Hill Road! will it be the single or the unexpurgated LP cut?
-

you are correct, sir. Which is why I'm surprised it was more than a local hit -- Dave AND Bob remember it, obviously.

VHM "Jessica"; proxy BOS for Rod unless Zep shows up.

yay for "kodachrome." a nice pick-me-up this gray morning.
we are from france.

Easy BOS, "Kodachrome." That refrain has certain notes that make my hair stand on end (in the good way). "Sunny day, oh, yeah" -- that ascension of notes, ahhh. What notes are those?

One of the strangest things I've ever seen was Kevin Spacey taking on this song in the post-9-11 John Lennon tribute concert. He aimed at notes like an imprecise skeet shooter, leaving a trail of destruction behind him. Yet I kind of enjoyed it.

i don't know what notes they are, but the harmonies are a third apart (a third being the difference, say, between the "c" note and the "e" note), and the top note moves up a half a step on "oh," and another on "yeah," while the lower note moves down a half a step on those words. at least that's what it sounds like to me. i'll have to verify on an instrument later.
anyway, i think the fact that the top note is going up and the lower note is going down is what makes for the neat-o sound.
day.
oh.
yeah.
mind games, indeed.

Well done, good sir! Although more specifically, I was going for One-Hit-Wonders whose sole hit peaked at #40. A true rarity.
On the other hand, the Divine Miss M has had three songs peak at #40, which I find wonderfully curious. And I think the Cars had three songs peak at #41.

now talk about some harmonies! vhm to "thinking of you!"
-
VHM John, the only Beatle to NOT have a #1 single in 1973.
ooo! L&M, "Thinking of poc"
-

so short and sweet!

shouldn't that be "se-person-tic foolishness"? :shock:

The Stories try to explain why brown sugar tastes so good. Or something like that. I like this song more than I should -- I mean, really, those lyrics couldn't have taken more than seven minutes to write.

I remember really disliking it at the time... I thought it trivialized a subject treated much better by "Society's Child" and even "Does your Mama Know About Me?" Would love to hear their follow-up, a Trini Lopez cover (!) called "Mammy Blue".

unlike "brother louie." i like this song, too, more than i should. something about the strings. the desperation of it all. the song isn't fighting for equality. it's just saying, 'hey man, i *never* cross the tracks, and i *know* what it's like."

Good calls, both. The ink is black, the page is white ...

Gaz, I see you've been playing with my Top 40 Database. Cheers!
So you'll be glad to know that I have already finished it through the 80's. Check your inbox in a bit.

he was strictly a juicer.

note to POC: not my face JB song, just a fun little ditty.
BOS would've gone to ABB, although since I'm typing a paper on multiracial children and how they're classified, Brother Louid is timely!
