Expecting help from OSH and Van

[jetpilot]

Might be the only person who loves this

[Van Hagar]

Here’s a deep cut from a guy I mentioned in an earlier thread, love the groove of this song.

[Westside]

[Old School Hound]

Might be the only person who loves this

Nope, you have company.  Always loved it. Anne Murray was terrific.



Another good music thread , Jet.

---

This thread could get embarrassing. 

My favorite song when I was 10 years old.

---

The only song I know of that has the same name as a yeast infection. (Told you it could get embarrassing)

T.Orlando's was smooth and suave .  A great one.

---

TJ&TS  should be in the R&RHOF  .

[Old School Hound]

Bo Donaldson , from the Queen City.

One of my favorites from my favorite year of music---1974.

---

Most people know Player for their big hit "Baby Come Back."    But this was always the  Player song I loved.  Gosh, I miss that sweet seventies sound.

---

Fine little ditty from Jay Furguson.  Love these lyrics.

The Captain said, "You boys want some sex?  You can squeeze the sails.  You can lick the deck."

---

More Jay , more 70's fun for OSH :

[Old School Hound]

From OSH's senior year in HS:

One of my favorite ballad singer/ songwriters (RIP) :

[Van Hagar]

Probably my all-time favorite Van Halen song, it wasn’t a single. RIP, Eddie.

[jetpilot]

Best thread yet thanks to OSH and Van. Teared up on the Gallery song. Would have never remembered that if I lived to be 100.

[jetpilot]

So many classics on this thread please keep it going

[jetpilot]

I was born two decades too late. Love this, girls from this era were so pretty and such good dancers.

I know about 13 million songs and this is probably in my top 100...
Free advice...if your woman is mad at you don't sing "When the weather is fine you got women you got women on your mind"
It won't end well for you lol

[Van Hagar]

A great, GREAT, album cut from Mellencamp’s Scarecrow album. You have to listen to the lyrics all the way through.

[Van Hagar]

And here’s one I’ll bet very few know, by the great honky tonk singer Billy Joe Shaver. This one just hits me in the gut, I’ll probably have it as one of my funeral songs (uh oh, I feel a new thread coming on.)

[TheRealThing]

You all probably know this one but here goes --

[Van Hagar]

I do know it, but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s another great vocal performance from the criminally underrated Ms. Loveless.

[Old School Hound]

You all probably know this one but here goes --

Always thought Patty Loveless was about as pretty as a woman could be. Looks and musical talent combined, she was top tier.

[Old School Hound]

I know I've mentioned this one before in other threads but it's good enough for a thread of its own. Mabe the best one-hit wonder of all-time. Probably the best song to cruise to of any song. In fact, great song to have all kinds of car fun while listening to it.

Who in the heck could possibly write a cool pop tune to these words? ELton John, that's who!!!!

It's party time for the guys in the tower of babel
Sodom meet Gomorrah,
Cain meet Abel
Have a ball y'all,
See the letches crawl
With the call girls under the table
Watch them dig their graves
'Cause Jesus don't save the guys
In the tower of Babel

Another Elton song that I always loved is one that many have probably never heard of. Great song. Great composition. Song relates how screwing up a relationship has made the screwer feel like a bullet ... a bullet in the gun of Robert Ford. Ford was the guy who murdered Jesse James in the house James shared with his wife and two kids in 1882.


Like a corn in a field, I cut you down
I threw the last punch too hard
After years of going steady, well, I thought that it was time
To throw in my hand for a new set of cards

And I can't take you dancing out on the weekend
I figured we'd painted too much of this town
And I tried not to look as I walked to my wagon
And I knew then, I'd lost what should have been found
You know that, I knew then I'd lost what should have been found

And I feel like a bullet in the gun of Robert Ford
I'm low as a paid assassin is
You know I'm cold as a hired sword
I'm so ashamed, can't we patch it up?
You know, I can't think straight no more
You make me feel like a bullet, honey, in the gun
In the gun of Robert Ford

[Old School Hound]

I've mentioned this one in other threads , as well, and I know Jet and VH know it well but some of our younger members may not be familiar with this group or its songs. When I listen to this there are points in the song that I forget I'm listening to Rainbow and think I've put on some Foreigner. Sometimes you just have to tip yourself to singers and songwriters when a masterpiece like this is created. Sometimes all you can say is, "Damn, what a good rock song!"

Marty Balin is my favorite balladeer. Just sublime. This instantly takes me back to a cherished plae and time in life. I was 16.

---

More Marty:

Triple dose of Marty "Ballad" :

You all probably know this one but here goes --

You hit it out of the park TRT...
The pride of Elkhorn City KY
Beautiful

Here's one for you, Jet ol' buddy.

RIP , Brian Howe . One of the great power ballads that many may have never known existed. Impossible to replace Paul Rodgers but Brian was terrific on that song.

---

I'm such a sucker for a good hook, especially if it's interwoken in an '80's power ballad:

---

I'll try it again ...

---

Third times the charm...maybe

Three gorgeous gals with gorgeous voices and very famous mamas and papas.

One of my favorites of theirs, but for some it's probably a hidden gem waiting to be discovered.

[Old School Hound]

A trio of Dan's hidden tresures:

2. SOUVENIRS-

This pair of EJ songs always belong together. "Curtains" is on of my all-time favorites:

I used to know this old scarecrow
He was my song
My joy and sorrow
Cast alone between the furrows
Of a field
No longer sown by anyone
I held a dandelion
That said the time had come
To leave upon the wind
Not to return
When summer burned the earth again
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Cultivate the freshest flower
This garden ever grew
Beneath these branches
I once wrote
Such childish words for you
But that's okay
There's treasure children always seek to find
And just like us
You must have had
A once upon a time

[jetpilot]

This should make Van and OHS come out of their skin lol. nobody better than Yes in the day. Second half of this when they rock out can't be topped.
