  1. To what purpose would these songs be used? As in, are you looking for a soundtrack to your intimate life, or are you just looking for sexy songs?
  2. I liked dalnet's idea of numbering them Led Zeppelin (this list is ever-changing) 1. Communication Breakdown 2. In My Time of Dying 3. Bron-y-aur-Stomp 4. How Many More Times 5. Whole Lotta Love Eric Clapton (this includes Cream, Derek et al, etc) 1. Layla 2. Blues Power 3. Have You Ever Loved a Woman 4. Badge 5. Walkin' Blues The Beatles 1. While My Guitar Gently Weeps 2. Can't Buy Me Love 3. Happiness is a Warm Gun 4. Money (originally by Barrett Strong) 5. Back in the USSR Pink Floyd 1. On The Run 2. Time 3. Have a Cigar 4. Comfortably Numb 5. Wish You Were Here
  3. What about Huey Lewis and the News? Didn't they have a song called The Perfect Drug?
  4. Led Zeppelin's Dazed and Confused is a cover song, and a pretty damn good one at that. Originally by a guy named Jake Holmes.
  5. Alright, talked to the mum. Mentioned Radar Love, she says "no, that song has a more country feel to it than this one does." Alright, mom. All I got from her is that it's *not* a basic blues riff, it has very catchy music, and from the way she was describing it (it's from the 70's, it's British, there's screaming) it sounded like The Who to me. If it was Cream or Led Zeppelin she would have known that right away. Either The Who or the Kinks, that's what I'm thinking.
  6. Eric Clapton played with the Beatles on While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Ian Stewart played with Led Zeppelin on Boogie With Stu.
  7. haha well try being asked by your mom, every time you see her, "hey, did you find that get it on song yet?" At least this way we have a good project, you and I.
  8. Well guys, good news and bad news. Good news is that the T. Rex song is what I was referring to, but, the bad news is that it's not the song my mum was talking about. See, her and I are never heard this "get it on" song at the same time. She told me "there's this song that's like 'get it on' that they play on 94.7 (our local classic rock station) and it reminds me of La Grange." I'm like, ok mom, I can hunt that down for you I'm sure. So, with SF help (as usual) I came up with this song. I played it for her, and no dice. So, the search continues, without much hope. All I can give you is my mom's opinion: "the song I'm talking about is much more rockin' and fast than this song [T. Rex - Bang the Gong]". She has said in the past that it reminded her of La Grange/ Spirit in the Sky/ Come Together which leads me to believe it's a simple blues riff in E or A. :guitar: So this is the part where you guys almost arbitrarily recommend classic rock songs with "get it on" in the chorus. And no, Marvin Gaye does not count... I checked.
  9. I've always thought about cover songs, and I've generally liked the original better than the cover. But with Led Zeppelin I must admit that all their blues songs that were covered are much better (subjectively, of course) than their predecessors. To name a few: Gallow's Pole (originally by Leadbelly) In My Time of Dying (originally Dylan) Whole Lotta Love (originally by...someone...Howlin Wolf?) You Shook Me (originally Muddy Waters) Traveling Riverside Blues (originally by Robert Johnson) I like Eric Clapton's version of After Midnight better than the original JJ Cale version. Ooh, here's a good one, Orgy's Blue Monday is better than the 80's synth-pop original.
  10. I like how much coverage How The West Was Won is getting, as it's my favorite as well. But nobody mentioned BBC Sessions from Led Zeppelin or Cream, or Clapton's Rainbow Concert.
  11. Hahaha yes! It's most certainly T. Rex. I knew I could count on you guys! You have no idea how long this song has been playing in my head. Thanks so much. :happybanana:
  12. There is this song that has been plaguing me and my mom (my partner in classic rock) lately. It is played on classic rock stations, so we know it's in our field. It's a basic blues riff in E if I'm not mistaken, reminiscent of ZZ Top's La Grange. The only discernable words are "get it on" in the chorus. As much as I tried, I couldn't remember any other of the words. It sounds a bit like the Zombies, but I might just be grabbing in the dark. If anyone could help me out it'd be much appreciated.
  13. I wonder what this list says about me... Led Zeppelin I (no solos) Led Zeppelin II (no solos, except Whole Lotta Love) Tangerine (complete) Bron-y-Aur Stomp (no solo, amazing song to play though) Black Dog (no solo) Stairway to Heaven (complete) In My Time of Dying (no solo, yet) Bron-y-Aur (complete) Over the Hills and Far Away (no solo) Badge (complete) Sunshine of Your Love (no solo) Layla (no solo) Layla unplugged (complete) Signe (complete) Walkin Blues (complete) Rollin & Tumblin (complete) Classical Gas (complete) Smoke on the Water (no solo) Free Bird (no solo, haha) Crazy on You (complete) While My Guitar Gently Weeps (complete) Miserlou (complete) Bach's Bourre in Em (complete) Pachelbel's Canon in D (complete) Beethoven's Fur Elise (complete) Greensleeves (complete) Johnny B Goode (complete) Hotel California (complete) Enter Sandman (no solo) Sad But True (no solo) That's about all I could come up with. I think what this list tells me about myself is, I should learn some solos.
  14. I don't recall where I read this, but it is said to be about Robert Plant's opinion on fat women. The title is in reference to a black dog that used to hang out outside the place the band hung out to record LZ III, Bron-y-aur.
  15. Thanks for your help! I feel like I put out the call for blues help and you came swiftly to my rescue, cape flapping in the wind. I like the idea of it meaning breaking up with his current girlfriend, what she was saying made sense. It's a great song no matter what. As long as you're here, now that I've heard and gotten to love Robert Johnson, who's next?
  16. What in the world does "dust my broom" mean? Robert Johnson, Elmore James, Jack Johnson even... They all want to dust their brooms. All I can think of is that it could mean strum my guitar. I'm kinda reaching in the dark for that one though. I'm looking for help, and I'm looking towards Bluesboy maybe?
  17. Led Zeppelin III... There was some crazy revolving mechanism to the album cover, though I can't be sure because I've never actually bought a record. But I do know that I stare at the cover of the CD every once in a while.
  18. Last year around this time I went to a G3 concert were all three of these guitarsists were on the same stage...it was amazing to see their different styles especially considering that satriani trained vai. Has anyone see Crossroads with the Karate Kid? Steve Vai was in that at the end, and it was amazing. Anyway, I voted Satriani.
  19. Yeah buddy! That's exactly what I was talking about, thanks a bunch!
  20. I have no idea what else to call it. There's a funky remix of Beethoven's fifth that's very 80's synth-pop, and I've heard it around all the time. Does anyone know what it's called and who it's by? For reference, the Thicke song "When I Get You Alone" is set to the music I'm referring to. Thanks in advance.
  21. Did I do that? I don't remember calling it the greatest, it doesn't even sound like something I would say... I mean yes, Led Zeppelin is my favorite band, but Stairway's not my favorite song by them. -Ali
  22. Hahahaha! If "Hey Ya" made the list, and they put a folk song as number 1, Muzik is right, there's absolutely no way we should trust Rolling Stone mag. As to them liking it because it mentions their title, that was my first thought as well. If anyone should put together the list, I say it should be a crack team of Songfacts junkies. And come on, no Stairway *and* no Freebird? As much as I think Stairway to Heaven's overrated, at least I can count on it to be rated! In my opinion Achilles' Last Stand is *my* number one rock and roll song. It has everything going for it.
  23. Do you happen to know what issue of Rolling Stone the list is published in? My roommate has a subscription... I disagree with their choice of Like a Rolling Stone as the greatest... but then again, these lists are there to incite conversation, I mean here we are all discussing Rolling Stone magazine. I'd say their plan worked though, we can agree on that at least.
  24. no...not the running guy, I meant the *new* one. But this old one has warm fuzzy feelings of songfacts history attached to it. That's really the only thing keeping me from changing mine even though I'm (obviously) totally wasted in the picture and I don't even drink anymore. Avatar history commands it to be so.
  25. Don't mean to butt in, but Earth-Angel, I love your new avatar.
