  1. I listened to some of each track. It's not too shabby, but that isn't the type of music I listen to, so I'm probably not the best person to get an opinion from. I think it's kind of like some of today's music, but his voice is clearer. I've never been a fan of the 'white guy sounding soulful' thing, though. But that's not to say it isn't good. The guy can definitely sing. It's just not my cup of tea.
  2. Bootleg it and send me a copy. Any idea who they got to replace Danny Joe Brown? I was surprisingly upset when I'd read that he passed away.
  3. Yes, Gordon Lightfoot read about it in the newspaper, and was furious they spelled the name of the vessel incorrectly.
  4. On November 10, 1975, the S.S. Edmund Fitzgerald broke in half and sunk in Lake Superior. The storm she was caught in reported winds anywhere from 35 to 52 knots, and waves anywhere from 10 to 35 feet high. She was loaded with 26,116 tons of taconite pellets at the Burlington Northern Railroad, Dock #1. Her destination was was Zug Island on the Detroit River. Her Route: There were 29 crew members who perished in the sinking. I found a really great site with loads of info. Here is the timeline of the Edmund Fitzgerald, from it's inception to it's demise. I was surprised to discovered what a string of bad luck the E.F. had before it's last voyage. The last two days of the timeline, complete with transmissions transcripts, are chilling. Her last voyage
  5. They all did "You Were Always On My Mind" KISS Donna Summer The Village People
  6. Ok, I thought I would start this thread for folks with questions about classic rock. However, it's not confined to just classic rock only. The reason I started this thread is because I have a question: Does anyone know who originally sang "I'm in the Mood For Love" I know Rosemary Clooney and Julie London both did it. I'm pretty sure Sinatra covered it as well. I know the original is from way, way back, because I remember Alfalfa singing it on the Little Rascals. Any help would be appreciated.
  7. All Mixed Up closes out the Cars' debut album nicely.
  8. regulardave? As opposed to davelite? Welcome to Songfacts. LOLOL
  9. Sorry folks. I've been hit or miss here lately. Both Van Halen and Linda Ronstadt did "You're No Good" Carry on.

    Unwanted PMs

    I don't think anyone has gone to such a great length to make me a punchline.
  11. I think we're getting off off the track, here. As far as keeping it in perspective, true, they didn't rock the societal aspect of the world. But, as far as the perspective of music, they did change things, that cannot be denied. I guess it all depends on what 'perspective' you're talking about.
  12. If anyone recieves a pm that is offensive, of any kind, please notify a moderator or administrator immediately. There have been instances of people registering, and never making a single post, and yet, have sent a pm to one Songfactor or another, attacking that person. This leads me to believe that maybe the person in question knew the Songfactor beforehand. I hate to think it is one of our own simply being mean to another. But it has happened. We need to be notified at once, and the person will be banned.
  13. Oh, sorry. I was out of town for a few days. (which, by the way, was a wonderful trip) Ok, um, let me see..... Van Halen Linda Ronstadt
  14. I cannot take credit for this thread. The original one was purged to create bandwidth space. I just started the new one. I am not sure, but I believe the original idea was Batman's. Can anyone confirm this?
  15. Dr. Love ~ KISS Teacher Teacher ~ .38 Special Rocket Man ~ Elton John Paperback Writer ~ The Beatles Travelling Soldier ~ The Dixie Chicks There are more, but thise are just off the top of my head.
  16. Deep Purple :sleepy: :sleepy: :sleepy: i'm right with you on this one, jman
  17. I may as well join in the fracas. Being a huge KISS fan, I will be the first to say they are not the greatest musicians. Nor are they the best songwriters. But they put on the greatest show on earth.
  18. You make some pretty good points here. However, I don't think anyone ever claimed the Beatles were great musicians. That's not the issue here, I don't think. I have to disagree though, when you say you should only think about the music when you listen. Music also evokes emotions, reninds you of a certain time in your life, of that special person. No, music isn't just about the instruments and the chords and whatnot. It's much deeper than that.
  19. I don't friggin' watch it.
  20. All have kids that have recorded albums. (Althought I'm not so sure 'Nelson' counts. )
  21. I own 23 of them. A few I've never heard of.
  22. LOLOL. Weird. 1996 seems like last year to me. I guess that's what happens when you get old. It weirds me out that, in 1996, some of the Songfactors weren't even teens yet.
  23. That won't get any argument from me.
