The Fogheads have spoken. Have I told you lately how I feel about Fogheads?
Dave's already confirmed Marc Coen and Peter Gabriel will appear. Hope Irish Greg talks him into "God Only Knows", at least.
-
I wanted to call in & request that under NO CIRCUMSTANCES should he play "Wonderful Tonight", but I have a feeling it's a foregone conclusion & thus just a waste of my time.

EEEEEeeeewwwww. I consider myself a Peter Gabriel fan, and even I am cringing at the thought of what can only be In Your Eyes.
C'mon, Irish Greg....

I am SO sick of Clapton. 'Clapton' this and 'Clapton' that. The Foghead who won Request-O-Rama is all "Uh, anything by CLAPTON!" like he doesn't get to hear Clapton Every. Fucking . Day. of. His. Life.
Sorry- I'm not feeling well today.
-
the thought of what can only be In Your Eyes.
you are correct, sir!
-
Thank GOD for Etta James. Immediate BOS, it may not get any better than this.
-
if for some miraculous reason Dave plays the 11 minute live version of of New World, that would be cool. It's a much more African song & not nearly as schmaltzy, great percussion, too.
-
Surprisingly not sucking after the first two. "Look What You've Done For Me" is my favorite Al Green song, and I like Al Green. The horn chords have an edge to 'em, doncha think?

indeed this has gotten off to a good start with a one-two punch.
But then I don't consider the Etta James "schmaltz". :D

Absolutely. But I think that's Willie Mitchell's doing as much as the Reverend's. Ditto for the strings, which I also dig muchly.
-
you know a lot of people back in the neighborhood just call my dad 'The Reverend' and sometimes when the see me they say, "Oh, you're the Reverend's son, aren't you?"
And occasionally I flash on Al Green when they say that.
-
God Only Knows Dave listens to Irish Greg...
-
Universal BOS: "God Only Knows."
I'm taking all your votes and casting them this way because You Know It's Right.
:D
-
"God Only Knows" is a great song, but we just watched Love Actually on cable this weekend & it's use over the denouement & credits was just a BIT too much.
-

Well, we were batting .750 for a few blissful minutes, then along came Peter. Now it's .600--if we can maintain that average for the rest of the set I will be relieved.

I hear ya. Couldn't they have tried "Don't Give Up"? Oh wait, someone would have to suggest it. Someone who cares about love songs. OK, I get it. Phooey!

as long as we're dissing "In Your Eyes", y'all know who really gets the blame for this don't you?
-

Youssou N'Dour!!! Foisting his evil west African sensibilities on us! It's a conspiracy, I tell you!
-

I blame ERIC CLAPTON!
Heh. Not really.
-

Cameron Crowe, for putting it in Say Anything.
-
I'm sure I've posted variations of this list before, but for me, the ideal Valentine's Day set at this stage of life would include:
Jefferson Starship, "Miracles"
Terence Trent D'Arby, "Sign Your Name"
Dusty Springfield, "This Girl's in Love With You"
Flaming Ember, "Mind, Body & Soul"
Sade, "The Sweetest Taboo"
Erasure, "Always"
Queen, "You're My Best Friend"
Beatles, "Here, There and Everywhere"
Orpheus, "I Never Knew Love Like This"
The Platters, "With This Ring"
-
Message to My Girl. Ya can guess who "requested" this, can't you?
By no small coincidence, the wife and I are observing VD day by going to see Tim and Neil Finn tonight at the Palace of Fine Arts. If they play this, I'll let you know.
-
Message to My Girl. Ya can guess who "requested" this, can't you?
A fine choice, friend. Have a lovely evening, you two.

I hope you're being sarcastic.
See that's my point. This is actually a great song with a great guest vocalist & some interesting arrnagement. It's Cameron Crowe's fault that it became a massive Valentine's Day/Wedding Day song, when he had John Cusack standing outside of Ione Skye's house in the rain with his boom box help up over his head in Say Anything.
-
Beatles, "Here, There and Everywhere"
Kreskin, yo.
-
Gaz, very prescient call on the Beatles (Yay!).
I never would have put this in the top 10 Love Songs just by the Beatles. Shows that you're smarter than I on this stuff.
-
What would you include instead?
-
Message to My Girl. Ya can guess who "requested" this, can't you?
A fine choice, friend. Have a lovely evening, you two.
Actually I meant that this was Dave's request. But had I thought of it I might have. Thanks for the good wishes--I'm looking forward to the show. (And the evening with the wife!)

Errr, yes, I was. Youssou is fine, and so is this song, really. It's just been played to death. Anyway, we gonna have lunch this week? Tomorrow? Who's up for it?

and "Here" it is...
The EW "50 greatest love songs" only includes one Beatles song, BTW
-
Oh, how on earth did I leave "Oh Me, Oh My" off my list???
BOS2, needless to say. *swoon*
-
BOS Aretha! OMGWTFLOL!
"Oh Me Oh My"! I don't think I've ever heard her version.
-
Really? I know Dave's played it a couple times. She sent Lulu beck to her mama's house with this one.
-
But more pressingly: Any report from the Princess? Did she rendezvous with the Queen?
-
Looks like a .600+ average is assured--more like .800. Nary a clinker post-Peter Gabriel.
-

and blew a genie from a big ol' spliff :lol:
-

What I meant was that I probably would have overlooked it, not that I don't like it. For whatever reason this just doens't leap to mind when I think of Beatles love songs.
Not sure of 10 songs, but "Something" or "And I Love Her" would be right up there.
-

No, but she sent Lulu back to her mama's house...
-

and "I Will".

Etta James - At Last
Al Green - Look What You've Done For Me
Marc Cohn - True Companion
Beach Boys - God Only Knows
Peter Gabriel - In Your Eyes
Split Enz - Message To My Girl
Beatles - Here, There & Everywhere

tee-hee.

I was totally spacing yesterday... I have indeed heard Ree-Ree's "Oh Me Oh My", it's on 30 Greatest Hits fer chrissakes. I was thinking of her cover of "Son of a Preacher Man", which like "OMOM" was a charted B-side (the flip of "Call Me", to be exact; "OMOM" was the B of "Rock Steady"). "Son of a" B!
