Steel2Velvet Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Now we dive into the non-traditional album cuts, primarily of the 60's and 70's, from the musical mind of our esteemed Dappled. While reviewing, I thought it interesting that many of his selections highlighted the connection of the early 60's folk music wave to many acts later identified as pop/rock purveyors. Please listen to the playlist and vote! Dap's personal Top Ten Playlist Here's my personal TT list. I hope there's something for everyone in it. Some of these I have nominated to the regular Top Ten and some are new. I like them all! Pink Shoelaces - Dodie Stevens A Letter to The Beatles - The Four Preps Almost a hit in 1964, but had to be withdrawn since Brian Epstein threatened to sue. Moment Of Truth - Dave Myers & The Surftones Sinnerman - Nina Simone Penetration - The Ventures I'll Cry Instead - Joe Cocker A nice cover of The Beatles tune. Out Of Limits - Marketts I'm On The Outside (Looking In) - Little Anthony & The Imperials I Believe - The Bachelors Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window - The Vacels Written by Bob Dylan but first released by The Vacels I Understand - Freddie & The Dreamers New Town - The Four Seasons Phil Ochs wrote this one.

Shine On, Brightly - Procol Harum Baby, Please Don't Go - Them Quite Rightly So - Procol Harum I'm Only Dreaming - The Small Faces The Weaver's Answer - Family Some Velvet Morning - Lee Hazelwood & Nancy Sinatra I wanted the Vanilla Fudge version but couldn't find it I'm Crying - Savoy Brown Chris Youlden, one of my favourite white blues singers. Say You Don't Mind - Colin Blunstone Cryin' To Be Heard - Traffic This Will Be Our Year - The Zombies King Harvest (Has Surely Come) - The Band Hard, Hard Year - The Hollies One Monkey Don't Stop No Show - The Animals A cover of the Joe Tex song.

Dappled Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 Thank you for listening, guys. I'm glad you liked the Patto song, Phil.
