I think some of these bands play music along the same lines as what was being played in the 70's.
- Counting Crows
- John Mayer
- The Wallflowers
- Oasis
- 3 Doors Down
- Black Crowes
- Dave Matthews Band
Now figuring out their influences could be difficult since they probably have many.

I think the era of "classic rock" died out in the early 80's when all the hair bands took over along with that goofy new wave sound. To me, classic rock may be older, but it's the pure form of rock 'n' roll music where the lyrics and the instrumentals actually meant something and sounded so beautiful together and weren't geared toward our MTV/pop culture. I've notice that there are many bands from the 90's that are getting back to this type of music playing. I think the majority of music from the 80's is a bit of a black hole.

"The Marshall Tucker Band" album has a bunch of great songs on it. But if you just want a couple...
"Can't You See"
"Fly Like an Eagle"
"Take the Highway"
"Losing You"
"Heard it in a Love Song"
These are my favorites so far. But that's only because I'm still purchasing albums. Remember, Marshall Tucker Band is on the country-rock side of Southern Rock. But they are part of the "big three" which consist of The Allman Brothers Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and The Marshall Tucker Band. These are the 3 sides to Southern Rock, and man they have made some sweet a$$ music.

It's definitely not Minneapolis!

It's really all about the music anyway and the fact that you're watching a legendary Southern Rock band play (even though they've had a lot of turn over).

Foxy you rule!! That looks a bit like my son when he was really little.

What happened to List # 5 being on the homepage? Right now I see List # 4 again.

I thought the character in The Wall runs away to live in the US. If that's the case, then the line "Mother should I run for President?" would be fitting if he was living in the US during that portion of the story.
But yes, you are correct. In order to run for President, you must be a naturally born US citizen.
-
I doubt the lyricist meant for his lyrics to be ironic, but they are. He's talking about all the horrors going on the US like drug dealing, raping, abusing, stuff like that. Those are terrible, terrible crimes, but if he really means what he says (about all his different forms of vengeance) then he is just as bad. Of course, if he is all talk, then I guess there is no problem there. But why is it that he thinks killing someone because of vengeance allright if killing someone for other reasons isn't? Once again though, I don't think the crimes he speaks of are condonable, I just don't think vengeance is the answer.
Oh, by the way, I think I am going to be starting another similar thread to this one. It will be different because while these threads are more general to all thoughts on lyrics, my threads will be more specific to deciphering confusing lyrics. It is not intended as a rival thread, only as a different spin on this topic.
I think it's more meant to be just talk, but the anger displayed in the words shows how horrified he is by the crimes that are being committed. I also think the anger is shown with how little society does to deal with these offenders. It's kind of "be nice or I'll kick your f----n' @$$" Something like that.

Aah, a wonderful song about the horrors of this wonderful nation we call the United States. In all honesty, to me, this is a song about the evil things capable within the human society and how we should just go back to calmer times.

"Simple Man" - The Charlie Daniels Band
I ain't nothin' but a simple man
They call me a redneck I reckon that I am
But there's things going on
That make me mad down to the core
I have to work like a dog to make ends meet
There's crooked politicians and crime in the street
And I'm madder'n hell and I ain't gonna take it no more
We tell our kids to just say no
Then some panty waist judge lets a drug dealer go
Slaps him on the wrist and then he turns him back out on the town
Now if I had my way with people sellin' dope
I'd take a big tall tree and a short piece of rope
I'd hang 'em up high and let 'em swing 'til the sun goes down
Well, you know what's wrong with the world today
People done gone and put their Bible's away
They're living by the law of the jungle not the law of the land
The good book says it so I know it's the truth
An eye for and eye and a tooth for a tooth
You better watch where you go and remember where you been
That's the way I see it I'm a Simple Man
Now I'm the kinda man that'd not harm a mouse
But if I catch somebody breakin in my house
I've got a twelve guage shotgun waiting on the other side
So don't go pushing me against my will
I don't want to have to fight you but I dern sure will
So if you don't want trouble then you'd better just pass me on by
As far as I'm concerned there ain't no excuse
For the raping and the killing and the child abuse
And I've got a way to put an end to all that mess
Just take them rascals out in the swamp
Put 'em on their knees and tie 'em to a stump
Let the rattlers and the bugs and the alligators do the rest
You know what's wrong with the world today
People done gone and put their Bible's away
They're living by the law of the jungle not the law of the land
The Good Book says it so I know it's the truth
An eye for and eye and a tooth for a tooth
You better watch where you go and remember where you been
That's the way I see it I'm a Simple Man

Top 5 is so hard to put in order...
1. Was I Right or Wrong - Lynyrd Skynyrd
2. Can't You See - The Marshall Tucker Band
3. Mr. Banker - Lynyrd Skynyrd
4. Round Here - Counting Crows
5. Simple Man - Lynyrd Skynyrd
It's such a hard decision to only choose 5.
-
Whoa, my songfacts are in...
all except Charlie Daniels Band "Devil Went Down to Georgia"
-
Great suggestions, I had a tough time deciding. Maybe we'll have to expand the list to 10 albums.
And the winners are....
The Best of Wet Willie - Wet Willie
Isola - Kent
Irish Tour - Rory Gallagher
O - Damien Rice
Audioslave - Audioslave
Wet Willie! Southern Rock or DIE!!!
You guys ROCK!
-
I think this deserves more than a banana
So does this mean I'll get to see the songfacts I submitted soon?
-
****IMPORTANT****
A reminder to anyone that is interested in going to Moondance. April 15 is the last day for discounted tickets. From April 16, the price of tickets rises from $110 to $130 for a 4-day pass.
Also, camping is a 2-person minimum. You cannot reserve a camping spot for one person (that means you will have to pay $120 to camp regardless if there's 1 or 2 people). Although if you camp alone, there's always the possiblity of a *ahem* new "friend" showing up! ::
-
I was planning to post exactly the same!
! If I was on a desert island and I had to choose between just two records, Phil Collins or Supertramp, I´d keep Supertramp!!
We're on a very similar wavelength Helena! Although I wish you would stop making it snow...
I'd keep Supertramp...
-
I too like the way the song is saying "you're supposed to act this way, but we don't, because we are ourselves". I've had many times that I've felt this way before. And it's always a nice escape when you find a song that really gets to you.
-
I've always liked this song, but in the past couple years it's really had more meaning to me than before. To me, there's a story about a girl who's life is falling apart. I had a period in my life where I felt the same way. So I can really relate to what's being said. Such a wonderful song.

ATC's Lyrical Discussion: Week 6
in Music Discussion
Posted
Here's this weeks lyrics. I'm posting these because of recent discussions in the "Concert" forum.
"Can't You See" - The Marshall Tucker Band
I'm gonna take a freight train
Down at the station, Lord
I don't care where it goes
Gonna climb me a mountain
The highest mountain
Gonna jump off
Nobody gonna know
Can't you see
Whoa can't you see
What that woman, Lord
She been doin' to me
Can't you see
Can't you see
What that woman
She been doin' to me
I'm gonna find me
A hole in the wall
I'm gonna crawl inside and die
'cause that lady now
Mean ol' woman Lord
Done told me goodbye
Can't you see
Whoa can't you see
What that woman, Lord
She been doin' to me
Can't you see
Can't you see
What that woman
She been doin' to me
I'm gonna buy me a ticket now
As far as I can
Ain't never comin' back
Ride me a Southbound
All the way to Georgia now
'till the train run out of track
Can't you see
Whoa can't you see
What that woman, Lord
She been doin' to me
Can't you see
Can't you see
What that woman
She been doin' to me
Oh Lord
Can't you see
Whoa can't you see
What that woman, Lord
She been doin' to me
Can't you see
Whoa can't you see
What that woman
She been doin' to me
Can't you see
(Whoa she's such a crazy lady)
Can't you see
What that woman
(What that woman)
She been doin' to me
Can't you see
(Whoa I can't stand it)
Can't you see
What that woman
She been doin' to me
Can't you see
(I'm gonna take a freight train)
Can't you see
(Down at the station, Lord)
What that woman
(Ain't never comin' back)
She been doin' to me
Can't you see
(Gonna ride me a southbound)
Can't you see
(All the way to Georgia now)
What that woman
('til the train run out of track)
