20 April 2010: a "420" set? (Nope: 1966! no pot around then, of course)

[RGMike]

ah can only give "I can only give you everything" a BOS3!

big BOS for this.  

Just looked it up, and it's MC5?  is that right? identified below by RGM.

so, it was MC5 after all? Or are those Facebook Fogheads messing with me?  I heard the Them version on Li'l Steven's show last week.

BOS to Love, pissing Bacharach off with their muscling their way through "Little Red Book."

Burt was pissed?

Great version, only one I know!

[ggould]

BOS Cream, sounding pretty gritty.

I don't believe Spoonful was on the original US vinyl.

[ggould]

BOS to Bruce, Baker, and Clapton (before he was Crapton, right Mike?)

This is even before he was God!

ETA: and speaking of God -- John's more popular than Jeebus!

technically no, this is after the God phase.
I stand corrected

I'm partial to Peter Green myself.

Although Clapton gained world fame for his playing on the immensely influential album, Blues Breakers, this album was not released until Clapton had left the Bluesbreakers for good. Having swapped his Fender Telecaster and Vox AC30 amp for a 1960 Gibson Les Paul Standard guitar and Marshall amplifier, Clapton's sound and playing inspired a well-publicised graffito that deified him with the famous slogan, "Clapton is God". The phrase was spray-painted by an admirer on a wall in an Islington Underground station in the autumn of 1967. The graffiti was captured in a now-famous photograph, in which a dog is urinating on the wall. Clapton is well reported to have been embarrassed by the slogan, saying in The South Bank Show profile of him made in 1987, "I never accepted that I was the greatest guitar player in the world. I always wanted to be the greatest guitar player in the world, but that's an ideal, and I accept it as an ideal". The phrase began to appear in other areas of Islington throughout the mid-60s.

BOS to my favorite track on my favorite Beatles album.  And second favorite album of all.

Hmmm, I agree it's a great album.  But, since you mentioned it, what is your *favorite* album of all?

The Jefferson Starship's Red Octopus, which I readily admit is more an emotional choice than a rational one.  I have a longtime love affair with the hit "Miracles," and several other songs on it knock me out and bring back the warmest of memories, particularly "There Will Be Love."  A line from Paul there:

I made an ark from the light of the stars
And I hewed two mesas of bright silver metal
That sang in the sun like a sail in the wind
And I weave my way back to you ... Now I fly ...

There's just something I love about that, that I can barely name.

Hey, thanks for sharing.  :-)

It's neat (yes that word is still used) to learn about favorite albums, films, etc.  Especially when the choice (like yours IMHO) is not obvious to lots of people (like your 2nd choice album for example).  You've got me thinking about *my* favorite album...  no answers yet though.....

BOS to Love, pissing Bacharach off with their muscling their way through "Little Red Book."

Burt was pissed?

Great version, only one I know!

I read a BB interview some years ago in which he said he didn't care for artists reimagining his songs, that he'd rather they be performed as he wrote them.  He dissed Love's LRB and that reggae cover of "I Say a Little Prayer."
