"The year the Beatles called it quits"
Well, 1970 can't suck but it can be an Oldies 103.7-fest. I'm guessing that's what's in store. "Lola", anyone?
-
Maybe DC will pull out a rarity or two today. Let's hope so, anyway.
-
"the facebook people have been crying out for one of these years" sez Renee. No duh.
-
Damn I was thisclose to predicting "Ride captain ride". A predictable, if pleasant, TOTHK.
-
TOTHK - Blues Image "Ride Captain Ride"
-
VHM Chicago's "Make Me Smile" -- but bonus points if we get the entire "Ballet For a Girl".
ETA: Nope. Long radio edit.
-
Chicago "Make Me Smile" or the entire Ballet?
-
VHM Chicago's "Make Me Smile" -- but bonus points if we get the entire "Ballet For a Girl".
Care to wager on that? :D
-
The Kinks "Apeman" preceded by
Beneath the Planet of the Apes
-

yeah, my hopes were not high.
WTF: Planet of the Apes was '68 and Heston was NOT in the sequel.
But at least we're getting "Apeman" and not "Lola"
-
"Lola", anyone?
You were th-i-i-i-i-i-i-s close!
-
"Lola", anyone?
You were th-i-i-i-i-i-i-s close!
DC's idea of an OMGWTF rarity.
-
"One Toke" is from '71. Oh, Renee, this is not an endearing trait. Sweet Jeezus indeed.
-
Brewer & Shipley "One Toke Over The Line"
-
Bobby Bloom "Montego Bay"
-
What's the over/under on whether we get the "Beautiful morning" coda on this Bobby Bloom hit? VHM either way, I still dig this one. You ain't been 'til you been high.
ETA: No "morning" this morning.
-
"Lucky Man" is another one I associate with '71. Whatevs.
-
ELP "Lucky Man"
-
No long versions of Chicago or Bobby Bloom ::)
Renee better not utter that "short songs" line today! :P
-

Like "One Toke..." this came out on an album in 1970. Fine by me, but I've alway been an album guy, not a chart geek.
-
BOS the Fabs, "Two of Us"
-
The Beatles "Two Of Us"
Burning matches, lifting latches on our way home...

this one makes for more leeway because it wasn't a big hit single and I'm sure it was on the radio in late '70. Nobody'd heard of Brewer & Shipley until Spring '71, tho'.
I'm in the midst of doing some writing about this period and this is giving me ideas.
-
OY: I *did* predict "Spill the Wine" on FB. Long version or radio edit?
ETA: appears to be the full LP cut.
-
Eric Burdon & War "Spill the Wine"
-

I still love this track, but uber-LN from me too.
BOS the Beatles.
-
S&G "The Boxer"
-
and now the reverse: "The Boxer" was a hit single in '69 but was also on the BOTW album in '70. It's still lovely, so BOS2.
-
No long versions of Chicago or Bobby Bloom ::)

At least we got the full version of the Eric Burdon tune.
-
"Green Eyed Lady" Sugarloaf
-
"Green Eyed Lady" Sugarloaf
also the loooooong version, as Mr Pardo would say.
-
"Psychedelic": I do not think it means what you think it means, Renee.

Give her a break. When she was old enough to take psychedelics, ecstasy was as good as it got. AKA St. Joseph's Baby Acid. :)
-
St. Joseph's Baby Acid. :)
bwahahaha! I'd never heard that before, but I love it.
I just think the noodling on "Green-Eyed lady" is closer to fake jazz than anything psychedelic.
-
Renee sez S&G gets BOS, VHM Beatles and ELP.

from all those kids who said "hey! it's that Mumford & Sons song!"

released 1970, certainly played here then.

the double-guitar shtick presages ABB a year or two.

listening to replay. Pleasant, but not the kind of awesome flashback-inducing sonic stew one would hope for.

No, that would take a radio station with balls.

Interesting. I think 1970 is second only to 1971 in being the best year ever, and then only by
the smallest of margins. Echoing my comment from the last 1971 set, which incidently occurred
exactly one month ago, it would be difficult but not impossible to screw up this year. While that
fate was avoided, I would concur that the awesome potential offered by this year did not come
close to getting realized.
The Blues Image & Eric Burdon tunes sparked specific memories of hearing them often on the
radio that summer, along with One Toke and Montego Bay. The contrast between today's Kinks
song as opposed to yesterday's just demonstrated how much the later stuff sucked. (And was
that a reggae beat -- in 1970?) Overall, a pop-dominated set, and not unrepresentative of the
time. But it could have rocked harder -- much harder -- and gone in a lot more directions.

How about simply a well-craft pop song? Apparently such an entity is relatively foreign to her
experience, and thus she struggles for the vocabularly to describe it. Back in the day, we
listened to well-crafted pop songs on the radio all the damn day long, and didn't give it no
never-mind. I guess they're rarer now.
