:bow:

I have almost all of Lightfoots albums right up to The Circle Is Small :D The music on that album sounded kind of tinny to me or something. I wondered at the time what he was doing different. Whatever it was I didn't like it and didn't buy anymore of his music after that.

I never really thought he got enough air play here in the states :( . I was and still am a huge fan of his :D He's just awesome!!!

Oh and I'll have to find a place for Woman to ;)

Hi Tim Lizard ! :)

Well, I really only know a few of their songs. I also nominated Sheena Is A Punk Rocker before. Rockaway Beach still to go.

I also like it that the words are nice and easy to remember. That helps at my age.:smirk:

Smarty pants Laurie. :D

Next week I might nominate Kickstart My Heart - Motley Crue, and We're Not Gonna Take It - Twisted Sister. Except they'd have the dreaded 80s Curse.

First I will do something completely against my usual style and nominate a cover version of an already popular song:

The Needle And The Damage Done - The Pretenders (2006) (No video or audio, unfortunately :( )

Now I will do something much more like my style - nominating the original version of a song that had a popular cover:

Hard To Handle - Otis Redding (1968)

1-Rain On The Window - The Hollies (1967) Lub dem Hollies.

2-Ooh La La - The Faces (1973) I wish, I wish...

3-And When I Die - Blood, Sweat and Tears (1969)Great cover of Laura Nyro's classic.

4-You Keep Me Hangin' On - Vanilla Fudge (1967) Oh yeah, these aint yo Mama's Supremes.

5-Gimme Gimme Good Lovin' - Crazy Elephant (1968) I love the bass line in this song. Wish I could play it.

6-Fish Cheer, The / I Feel Like I'm Fixin' To Die Rag - Country Joe and the Fish (1967) Our anthem back then. Time to bring back the sentiment.

7-Hard To Handle - Otis Redding (1968) The original's still the greatest. Cudos to The Black Crows for recognizing a great song.

8-Lawyers, Guns & Money - Warren Zevon (1976) Man,it's almost 5 years since he's been here. Miss you Warren.

9-I Had Too Much To Dream Last Night - The Electric Prunes (1966) My soul has been psychedelicized.

10-Thick As A Brick - Jethro Tull (1972) Uh huh.

Great list from which to select. It's more fun voting when you don't nominate any songs.

PS: Next time, if there is one, I will vote for Shawna's Green And Dumb.
