betting on '60s or '70s today.
BTW, as Friday is KFOG "Ditch Day at Squaw Valley" with Renee, will we get a "classic" or a Rosalie-hosted 10@10 that day, while RR hits the slopes?
ETA: Renee's clue is "Frampton Comes Alive" -- another unambiguous hint, for a change. '76 it is! (amazingly, it's been nearly 2 months since we last visited that year)
-
Renee going on and on about how HAWT she thinks Mick Jagger is.
-
TOTHK - Stevie Wonder "Sir Duke"
-
Yeah, "Sir Duke" was a good TOTHK the first dozen times Dave used it as such. ;)
now it's your basic uber-LN.
-
Wings "Silly Love Songs"
And the hits just keep on a-coming!
-
ACK! WOS, "Silly Love Songs".
-
ACK! WOS, "Silly Love Songs".
gotta agree there. and another total LN. (can a WOS ever be necessary? discuss!)

"Sir Duke" is a bit of a sledgehammer for me - my 3rd 2nd grade teacher played that record in class, and it's been stuck in my head ever since.

WOS/LN/HFH/lwhatever!
-

I would have chosen "Beware My Love" from Wings At The Speed Of Sound for a bustout/rarity.
-
one of my all-time-faves, but BöC "DFTR" is also LN in this context.
-
Blue Oyster Cult "(Don't Fear) The Reaper"
-
Bellamy Brothers "Let Your Love Flow"
-

I thought that Papa Roach a few weeks ago was N, despite being WOS.
-
it's the season. for the reason. it's so pleasin'! VHM Bellamys. Their country output is an excellent bunch o' tunes.
-
'76 could be a good set; it doesn't sound like it's going that way.
-

I was pretty deep in code, I didn't even realize it was played until I read this. It's one of those songs I will start humming later and think "How did that get stuck in my head?" Happens to me a lot when I'm really busy at work.
-
Eric Clapton JJ Cale "Cocaine"
-

True. And things like "The Macarena" and other HFHs fall into this category, I suppose.
JJ Cale's orig "Cocaine"? "shit don't lie", as I've always heard that line. VHMFRA
-
at least it's JJ Cale
-
Eric Clapton "Cocaine"
JJ Cale, no?
-
at least it's JJ Cale
ha! we agree. Cale trumps Crapton in this case.
-
Eric Clapton "Cocaine"
JJ Cale, no?
Oops you're correct.
-
at least it's JJ Cale
ha! we agree. Cale trumps Crapton in this case.
I don't actually care for either version. :-X
-
BOS Match Game -- that clip never gets old.
VHM Orleans, a nice pop-chart surprise.
-
Orleans "Still The One"
-
'76 could be a good set; it doesn't sound like it's going that way.
Well, as CapnJack and I were discussing in another thread, late 70's sets are problematic. Things have definitely turned by '76. You CAN get a good set, but it's far easier to find the bland side.
-
Jackson Browne would sound good right now.
-
Boston "More Than A Feeling"
Hits keep rolling along...
-
Boston "More Than A Feeling"

oy. truly one of the Classic Rawk uber-LNs of all time.
-
Jackson Browne would sound good right now.
Yeah, maybe he can introduce the next song.
I kid.
-
Jefferson Starship "With Your Love"
-
VHM JS "With Your Love", not my fave of theirs (RCA clearly said, " how 'bout something 'Miracles'-ish?") but nice in this company.
-
Eric Clapton "Cocaine"
JJ Cale, no?
Oops you're correct.
Guess I wasn't paying very close attention either--I heard the "cocaine" riff and immediately dismissed it as being Clapton. Except Slowhand didn't come out until '77 (not that that would have stopped them from playing it in '76).
Boston is another LN. Was it Dischead that was saying what a wasteland 76-78 were for music? This set is mostly proving that, in spades. Still the One? Please. That song has been the music bed for more advertising in the last 30+ years than any other song I could name.
-
VHM JS
(although I'm not sure I've heard any BOS yet)
-
Seger turns the page. Would that we could do the same. Bathroom break!
-
Bob Seger "Turn The Page"
-

I give this one a pass. Songs about being a rock star are a personal weakness.
But like Geoff, I still haven't heard anything that's BOS material.
-
BOS, Carlos, "Dance Sister Dance".
-
Santana "Dance Sister Dance (Baila Mi Hermana)"
-
BOS, Carlos, "Dance Sister Dance".
I can't go there with you. Is it the hot guitar?
-
Santana may be my BOS -- doesn't happen often, mi hermana. Everybody mergengué!
-
BOS, Carlos, "Dance Sister Dance".
I can't go there with you. Is it the hot guitar?
Yes, mostly. Makes me chair dance, too. That's always a plus.
ETA: I was VERY into Santana in 1976. Between him and Journey (when they were good), I was going to a lot of shows featuring this kind of thing.
-
BOS, Carlos, "Dance Sister Dance".

For me, it was the fact that this is LWOS (Least White of Set). Yes, I know we heard Stevie W.
But truly: nothing in this set we haven't heard many many times, save possibly the JJ Cale.
-

Me either. Everything we've heard so far is either way too smoothly produced or too overplayed (or both) to remotely qualify in my book. The JJ Cale tune is probably the least guilty, but because of Clapton's gratuitous recasting that we heard ad nauseum in the 80s, I can't go there either.
-
the end of the Santana song makes me want to put on roller skates!
-

and Renee's backannounce makes me want to pull out my eardrums. ;)

LOL.

I don't usually like to go to deep in the GS jungle to root out the sets, but is this the way you currently do it?

2. Paul McCartney and Wings - Silly Love Songs
3. Blue Oyster Cult - Don't Fear The Reaper
(News: Mao dead)

5. JJ Cale - Cocaine

7. Boston - More Than A Feeling
8. Jefferson Starship - With Your Love

-
Renee sez Santana gets BOS.
-

yes -- thanks! I won't get home till after 9 tonite. I grab it from their thread and I usually edit the snarky descrpitions of the news/TV/movie clips. Sometimes they're amusing, sometimes not.
-
Ugh. That was awful. I had to listen to a bit of a DM 1971 set that
was handy in order to cleanse myself. (BOS to Santana for me as well.)
Yes, I recently said that 1976 was one of the worst years for pop/rock,
and here was a set that aptly illustrates that. The sad thing is, you
could probably chose a "deeper" track that is as good or perhaps better
than what was played from most of the albums represented today and it
would have been a much more interesting set.
What saves 1976 from being the worst year -- that ignominy goes to 1978
-- is that some of the best albums ever recorded were released that
year. And it's not just that these gems stand out among the other
pedestrian efforts, although of course they do. For me, they have truly
stood the test of time. I could listen to any one of these today, in
their entirety, twice in a row -- and enjoy the experience. BTW, AL
played tracks from two of them. (I'm sure not everyone will agree about
Joni, but the other two are superlative.)
Hejira - Joni Mitchell
801 Live - Brian Eno, Phil Manzanera, et. al.
Go! - Stomu Yamashta, Al Dimeola, Klaus Schulze, Michael Shrieve, Steve Winwood
-
it's the season. for the reason. it's so pleasin'! VHM Bellamys. Their country output is an excellent bunch o' tunes.
I was reminded that the Bellamy Brothers' recording was actually the second version of the song.
The first version was recorded by Gene Cotton in 1975. For anyone curious about it, here it is:

ACK! WOS, "Silly Love Songs".
gotta agree there. and another total LN. (can a WOS ever be necessary? discuss!)
I'd nominate Whitney's "I'll Always Love You" after she passed.
-

I thought that Papa Roach a few weeks ago was N, despite being WOS.
I concur. Something that both sucks, yet that also represents its time would qualify.
-
Hejira - Joni Mitchell
801 Live - Brian Eno, Phil Manzanera, et. al.
Go! - Stomu Yamashta, Al Dimeola, Klaus Schulze, Michael Shrieve, Steve Winwood
agreed, although I like the 801 album cover a bit more than the music!

TANC - I just read an article today in the latest issue of Rolling Stone (Jon Hamm on the cover) titled
"The Knights Of Soft Rock", which focused on a group of session musicians (nicknamed "The Section")
who played on the two albums above: Danny Kortchmar, Russ Kunkel, Leland Sklar, Craig Doerge,
Waddy Wachtel, and David Lindley. It's a terrific read.

Typical Rolling Stone cluelessness. Yes, these guys have played for people like James Taylor, but calling them the "Knights of Soft Rock" seems like a slam to me. I have seen some pretty savage/intense playing from these musicians. Oh well.

indeed -- Zevon hardly qualifies as "soft" anything. Now, Larry Knechtel might qualify for his Bread membership alone, but he also worked with S&G, the Ms&Ps, and is even on Streisand's "Stoney End"

I think the title of the article is misleading. They talk about being typecast ("Mellow Mafia"), but the article goes in-depth on their session/touring work with Taylor, Zevon, Jackson Browne, Linda Ronstadt, Carole King, David Crosby/Graham Nash, John Lennon/Harry Nilsson, etc.

Kortchmar, Kunkel, Sklar and Doerge actually recorded a few albums under that name. I saw 'em once opening for James Taylor, who they were also backing. They were good--very jazz fusion-y. Not at all what they sounded like behind JT.
