If at first you don't succeed...
ETA: Between Bob doing '72 & Ginger doing '78 we have ourselves a nice little survey of the decade today.
-
If at first you don't succeed...
I would LOVE for you to be right, but we just did '75 2 weeks ago (as a "classic", but still). However, we haven't done '73 since Jan 17th...

Dude, I too would love to hear a good '75 set (although '72 is more overdue, taking into account the 2/20 classic). But can I make an OCD copy editor request to ask that we keep the threads named consistently (as we have all year so far) and put your predictions in the body of the message?

No problem, I will edit accordingly when all is said & done.
-
i'll put it my vote for '72. though my gut says it's something more like 1980...
-
Feh, I'm guessing 1994 just to be different.
-
Well, I'll be gah-damned.
I bet someone is feeling pretty smug about now... ;-)
-
OMG he's RIGHT!
let's hope we get less katriny than Twilley as the set progresses.
-
Well, I'll be gah-damned.
I bet someone is feeling pretty smug about now... ;-)
but how can you tell the difference from, like, every other day? :wink:

Smug? Moi? Incroyable!

Hey, everybody! Wuss up?
-
I missed the beginning of it, and I'm still not placing song #2.
-
1975 is the golden age for TV themes, we should get to hear all of Welcome Back one of these times.
-
The Ambrosia tune was somewhat less katrinific--I'm hoping for Nights on Broadway myself, or perhaps Eighteen with a Bullet.
Welcome my son....
-
Hey, everybody! Wuss up?
Beej sighting!
What up, brudda?
-
Feh, I'm guessing 1994 just to be different.
Hey, we should have celebrated your 3333rd post a few minutes ago. Put a decimal in there & it'd be like 33 1/3.
-
I've far exceeded my Gilmour capacity for one day. Sorry, but WOS.
-
HM, the Floyds.
Fun with stereo and sound effects.

April 15 is my 33 1/3 birthday. Still not sure where or how exactly I'm going to celebrate it, though I do expect records to be involved.

Welcome my son....
Indeed the Ambrosia was a head-scratcher for me, certainly not the much-played likes of "Nice Nice" or "Holding On..."
"Life is a Minestrone" would do it for me. Not holding my breath, tho'.

Hey you gotta request something from Dave. Since that day's a Saturday it means this year's tax deadline is the 17th, so for Friday the 14th you could ask Dave to do something like a vertical tasting of album/vinyl tracks.
-
Whoops, I almost thought that Floyd ending was the beginning of the Chi-Lites' "(For God's Sake Give More) Power to the People."

A deep cut that I don't remember the title to, although I have it on vinyl.

Gotta give Beck a big ol' BOS.

That's a really good idea, Mark, and I think I'm gonna slightly mod it: I think I may suggest to Dave an "all B-sides" set. Think that might pique his interest? I'll even pretend to be Jose if it'll help.

BOS, J. Beck

I'm BOSing Bruce- but I'd rather hear "Jungle Land" offa this here album...
-
Bruce in the super hit 6 slot is likely to get the popular BOS vote, and probably mine too, unless something better shows up (such as one of the aforementioned...)
ETA: damn, this set is going to be long--BTR turned out to be #5.

damn connection cut out on me. i'd bos beck, but my vote will probably go to ambrosia. waiting on dave to tell me what he played....

ambrosia tune: world leave me alone. and my BOS vote.
-
BOS 2, Bruce.
-
Bruce in the super hit 6 slot is likely to get the popular BOS vote, and probably mine too, unless something better shows up (such as one of the aforementioned...)
HM just for the "1-2-3-4!" countoff into the final verse, probably Broooce's most thrilling moment.
Wow, hearing "Dirty Laundry" and "Emma" on the same day *really* underscores how similar their opening drumbeats are.
-

HERE's super hit six: Hot Chocolate's "Emma" by far their worst song. WOS for me. I feel about melodramatic death songs the way Gaz feels about deflowerment tunes.
-

very ahead of its time, "born to run" was. in a retro sort of way.
-

hmm...so you guys would balance out somewhere around sinead's "i am stretched on your grave?"

LOL!!
(and while I'm here, BOS #3 to the Spinners!)
-
hey, gaz! let's go singing down by the hudson river!
-
Whee! BOS to the grammatically challenged "They Just Can't Stop It The (Games People Play)." What a marvelous track/arrangement.

BOS Spinners. Just can't stop it!

I used to sing fa-fa-fa-fa-fa, now I'm singing la-la-la-la!!

JAWS!!!!!!!!!
chomp

BOS #4 Jimmy Cliff, such a great movie, too!
-
I wanna hear ALL of "Mr Jaws", dammit!
But Louise Fletcher RULES!
BOS2 Mr Cliff.
-
I used to have the 45 of "Mr. Jaws". I wish I still did.
'75 was a good music year. Sure, there was "Run. Joey, Run"- but there was also "Ballroom Blitz". Amazing.

What? Oh... did I type that out loud? Sorry.
:D
-
You know what I suddenly wish for? Alice Cooper's "Only Women Bleed".
Don't ask me why...
-
Oh ho ho it's BOS3. A sledgehammer of sorts, which outranks its Katrinish tendencies.
-
VHM to the Magic of Pilot. Though maybe I should be sick of this by now.
"Here comes CA-NA-DA!"
-
OH..HO...HO!!
Glam-pop on the charts...'75 was a great year for rock. You could hear this song about every 40 minutes on KFRC.
-

Ack! There was also MAGIC. You know?
WOS
-
Well, "Magic" sorta helps illustrate my point: '75? Great music, cheesy music and some great cheesy music. That was '75.
-

Don't ask me why...
I would LOVE to hear that. A great, underrated single.
-
so, uh...what exactly are you saying?
What? Oh... did I type that out loud? Sorry.
:D
Well "Run, Joey, Run" hit #4, while "Ballroom Blitz", "Magic" & "Games People Play" all peaked at #5.
-
Well, "Magic" sorta helps illustrate my point: '75? Great music, cheesy music and some great cheesy music. That was '75.
Greatest summary of a year ever.
P.S. Coincidentally, inspired by Alicat's putting "Who Loves You" on a '75 mix for me, I've been working on a short speculation piece on why so many '60s artists had critical and commercial comebacks in that year. Four Seasons, John Sebastian, Jefferson Starship, Ben E. King, David Ruffin, etc.
-

yes, i'd much prefer that pilot song. hm to "my little town."

and your theory is? pop/nostalgia goes in 10-year cycles?
-
Although some of you will call it a Katrina, I give another co-BOS vote to S&G, whom I mentioned in my Aztec Two-Step preview.
P.S. Is it "nothing but the dead and dying" or "nothing but the dead of night" in their little town? My mind mondegreens it as the latter.
-
S&G, My Little Katrina. Amazing how quickly a song can go from a rarity to a katrina.
It'd be great to hear George Harrison's Crackerbox Palace or This Song, although now that I think of it, those were released in 76. Never mind.

I'll let you know when I'm done. :D
But a hypothesis I'm working from suggests a response, conscious or un-, to the trash singles (a term I use lovingly) that dominated the charts in '73 and '74.

George in '75 would have been "You," I think, which would have gotten an easy BOS from me too.

Yep, it's also the year of both the "Autobahn" & the "Convoy".

some would call "Welcome Back" one of those trash singles. Tho' it wasn't a hit single until '76...
And it's "Dead & Dying", on the S&G. Don't Aztec 2-Step do a bunch of S&G covers? I thought I saw something about that on their site.
-

This is why 1975 is for me the second-greatest year in rock music history (the first being 1967).

listening on the 'net and that PSA about Lewis & Clark came on: so the Indian woman's name (Sacajawea) is pronounced "Sah-COG-a-way-uh", not "Sack-a-ja-wee-uh"? Live'n'learn.

Although it may or may not be 10 year cycles, 1975 was THE year for the nostalgia craze. Happy Days had premiered in fall of '74 and it was such a hit that it started a fad that made the cover of Newsweek & (iirc) Time.
And everywhere AOR guys told all their old fogeys, "Holy shit, dude! You better put soemthing out there."

from merriam webster (http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/sacajawea):
ain Entry: Sac·a·ga·wea
Variant(s): also Sac·a·ja·wea /"sa-k&-j&-'wE-&/
Function: biographical name
there's an audio link to pronounciation on the site, confirming out grammar school teachings.
but dictionary.com proffers:
Sac·a·ga·we·a P Pronunciation Key (sk-g-w, sä-kägä-wä) or Sac·a·ja·we·a (sk-j-w), 1787?-1812.
the first of which would agree with the advertisement. but you have to be a premium member to hear the pronounciation on their site.

Not real easy to say for sure, as L & C couldn't talk to her. It's an interesting wouldn't-believe-it-in-a-novel story. She came from some little tribe on the present day Idaho/Montana border, and had been captured on a raid & sold into a Mandan tribe, where upon growing up she was married off to a French trapper. So she spoke some French & a few indigenous languages, but no English. L & C wintered with the Mandans in 1803-4, and hired the French guy to be their guide into the uncharted headlands of the Missouri river. Eventually they came to regard him as a worthless buffoon, and may have dumped him except they had to use him to speak with her, and she was beginning to prove herself invaluable. She had given birth during that winter & among her many amazing accomplishments is carrying an infant across the continental divide to the Pacific and back & keeping him healthy the whole time.
The most unbelievable part of her story is that after struggling mightily to cross the divide over what they named the Bitterroot Range, the party came across a couple of native women at a river, and immediately they ran away before L & C could call out to them. The next day they met a couple of native men, and after they began talking it turned out to be her long lost brother! Not only that but he was now the chief of their tribe. If not for this utterly unbelievable coincidence the L & C expedition might not have made it much past that point as they were literally on their last legs supply-wise. If they had encountered hostile natives, or even just indifferent ones, who knows?
This also means that outside of the several days they spent with that tribe L & C never would have heard anyone speaking to her in her native & contemporary language. Whatever anyone says today is just an educated guess.

So, Karnak...what year are we going to tomorrow?
-
So, Karnak...what year are we going to tomorrow?
'86 and '82 are both (over)due. As is '73, but Dave may save that for Friday.
-
So, Karnak...what year are we going to tomorrow?
I think I'll quit while I'm ahead, but I still expect '86 pretty soon.
BTW, today was the highest post count of any date in the past 6 months other than Friday the 13th of Jan.

And 86 is def. due, but 82 is always the year that to me seems like it comes up most often, even though it really doesn't.

Better than any history course I ever took. (Somehow I got through college without taking a single history class. Shameful, I know, but my priorities were elsewhere. Now I sorely regret how little knowledge of U.S., much less world, history I have at my age.)

How the heck do you know all that!? I just helped write a report on the Mandan tribe and built a diorama and I don't know even 1/4 of that. It's fascinating.

How the heck do you know all that!?
You have to read Stephen Ambrose's Undaunted Courage, it's a fascinating history book that reads like a novel except for:
A) where he quotes directly from Lewis' or Clark's journals or
B) where he recaps his own journey along the entire route & tells you where you can still see some of the stuff that L & C saw 203 years ago.
Ambrose wrote several best-selling WWII books before this, incl. Band of Brothers, from which the TV show was derived. He followed it up with a fascinating book on the Trans-Continental Railroad called Nothing Like It in the World. Reading that one gives you an upper division course in early California history along the way.

BTW, today was the highest post count of any date in the past 6 months other than Friday the 13th of Jan.
How do you determine that?
On the front page of the 10@10 forum there is a column for the # of replies. Jan 13 had 97, and with the late action this morning I think this thread has almost caught up.

On the front page of the 10@10 forum there is a column for the # of replies. Jan 13 had 97, and with the late action this morning I think this thread has almost caught up.
Oh, that. Shows how attention I'm paying to the front page.
I thought you meant the board as a whole, not just this forum.

fwiw (& since I couldn't tune into the Drive today) I found it nice and quick to check our archives. We've now had 10 days when the post count got over 80, as follows:
3/8/06 - 1975, 90+ posts (this thread)
1/13/06 - HFH, 97 (tied for the all-time high)
9/8/05 - 1996, 81 (first visit to 1996)
8/10/05 - 1988, 85 (not a special year, but a hilarious thread featuring yours truly's rheum/room confusion & everbody else's confusion on the old k-y home/ol dikey home website)
6/3/05 - 1970, 97 (started early with speculation on it being '67 and "Ode To Billie Joe" getting played, thread then lasted until following Wed with debate on Mamas & Papas vs. The Cure)
5/24/05 - Bob Dylan's b-day special, 83
5/3/05 - 1970 (mystery set), 89
3/25/05 - 1969, 82
3/18 - 1965 (special request for my bro' Chris' b-day), 91
1/26/05 - 1973 (a set Urth recorded & we all said thanks later, & also got deets from him on recording analog tape & LP's to CD)
