  1. Don't know if you all ever feel this way, but sometimes I skip through songs that I've loved in the past. Maybe I'm not in the mood to hear it, or I've heard it so many times before, or maybe it's just the hecticness of life (work, kid, etc)that make me click through or skip through a beloved song. Yesterday I was driving, flipping around on the satellite radio and "Jungleland" by Bruce Springsteen was on, a real favorite of mine in the past but largely ignored by me in the last 10-15 years or so. Something had me keep the radio on that station and I listened to the song again to the very end. I felt a cynical-ness melt away, at least temporarily. I felt the power of first discovering a moving piece of music. That was cool.
  2. Lucky, if I can do it, you can do it! Today I went to my local independent music store and was reminded why I should get out and physically browse more often. I got Long Road Out of Eden. In order for my local independent store to get it (since the only official seller is Wal-Mart) they had to get it from overseas! So the CD went overseas to either Argentina, Chile or Uraguay, and came back to the U.S. for purchase. I can't wait to give it a few listens!
  3. Indeed! Although, I think when the Stones were on, the league and/or the network wanted them to change some words (I can't remember which words to which songs) and I think they sang them anyway but the network silenced it using a delay. Don't quote me on that but I think that is what happened!
  4. From what Blue & White describes, it sounds like it. I'm skeptical about what is supposed to be great stuff as opposed to hype. Usually I have to just stumble upon something to like it, i.e "Love Is a Losing Game" by Amy Winehouse (as in hype is actually well-deserved). The description of the Eagles album you all give definitely makes me take notice and I'm actually very curious to give it a good listen!
  5. Correct me if I'm wrong here, but...I'm Not Perfect (But I'm Perfect for You)--Grace Jones Jill
  6. I wish it was on ITUNES. I may actually have to venture out to actually *purchase* a CD. Jill
  7. On a slightly different tack here, the SB folks have gone waaayyyyyy out of their way to ensure that the acts they book for halftime will not pull anything like the "wardrobe malfunction" of Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake a few years ago (Prince doesn't count as he has toned down his sexual innuendoes in the past several years). I mean, Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones, Prince and now Tom Petty...I'm not sure those folks are up for a wardrobe malfunction (even Prince). Petty is a safe choice and the NFL will continue this trend into the foreseeable future, IMO. Jill
  8. Oh, and She Blinded Me With Science by Thomas Dolby. "Good heavens Ms. Sakamoto, you're beautiful!" Jill
  9. OMG, that one's horrible. Good one! Already posted was Kiss and Say Goodbye--one of my faves! Don't forget Panama by Van Halen, The Rain by Oran "Juice" Jones, and Just To Be Close To You by the Commodores. Jill
  10. Yes, and we old broads (and our male counterparts)wield not only mighty clubs, but I'll bet a few of us still have old bulky stereo equipment around that we can wield as clubs,too.
  11. Mmmm...you are right...is there a song called "Slaw Dog"??
  12. Relax TP. I'll be forty before you.
  13. The classic rock station in Atlanta does the same thing a lot of you describe. Every time I *have* to listen to it (if I'm driving the car w/o sallelite radio or a cd player) I swear they are playing "Wonderful Tonight", "Nights In White Satin", the same three Elton songs, the same three Fleetwood Mac songs, the same three Stones songs, etc. Thankfully I seldom have to listen. Satellite radio is great; I have it on at home and in the car, and I've just signed onto Pandora.com, so at least I can listen to some unfamiliar "new" stuff I might like so I don't seem like such a geezer. Thankfully these new outlets give us good stuff to listen to as opposed to commercial radio, which is sliced & diced preprogrammed crap. When I was young I had the privilege of listening to WABC in New York City; now THAT was fun (although older people at the time probably thought THAT station was crap).
  14. It's probably been noted here before, but while listening to the (satellite) radio yesterday I was reminded that "Appetite for Destruction" is 20 years old (well as of July).
  15. I'd definitely have to go w/Dolly because she's got a bigger VOICE.
  16.

  17. In England Dan and John Ford Coley's "I'd Really Love To See You Tonight", I always heard "I'm not talkin' 'bout the linens/and I don't want to change your life" instead of "I'm not talkin' 'bout movin' in"

  19. "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy"--Kenny Chesney
  20. LOL...which one would you want to sing as a duet first?! (I could add "Islands In The Stream")
  21. I can't say I'm embarrassed to say I like these songs; rather, I embrace them for what they are and I have long since forgiven myself for wearing them out.

  22. Aimee Mann's lyrics are brilliant but they make me want to crawl in bed and pull the covers up over my head. Springsteen and Henley have been mentioned on here, I like those guys.
  23. Thanks Farin! I also think that in another decade, "One" would have been #1, but then again, in the 90s there was that little ditty called "Smells Like Teen Spirit"...ah well. Kansas: "And if I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know"
