Steel2Velvet Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 (edited) The crunch of tires on the gravel driveway alerts Grandma that someone has come to visit. Drying her hands on her apron, she rushes through the front screen door to see a familiar car rolling to a stop. In the back seat window, wide eyes under blonde bangs peer out, followed by an excited squeal as Laurie has finally arrived! Let's make her visit one to remember, as we take a listen to some of her favs and determine: Laurie's Personal Top Ten After The Love Has Gone - Earth, Wind & Fire Another Park Another Sunday - Doobie Brothers Around And Around - Rolling Stones Ballad Of Curtis Loew ~ Lynyrd Skynyrd Black Friday - Steely Dan Brother Louie - Stories Chevy Van - Sammy Johns Dixie Chicken - Little Feat Do You Feel Like We Do - Peter Frampton Don't Call Us We'll Call You - Sugarloaf Don't Do It - The Band Fire Lake - Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band Get Ready - Temptations Golden Country - Reo Speedwagon Hey You ~ BTO Hitchin' A Ride ~ Vanity Fare How Much I Feel - Ambrosia (video will start playing after the first 30 seconds or so) I Heard It Through Through The Grapevine - Gladys Knight and the Pips I'd Wait a Million Years - Grass Roots I'll Drink To You - Duke Jupiter In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed - Allman Brothers Injun Joe - The Good Rats It's All I Can Do - The Cars Just Remember I Love You - Firefall Lady - Little River Band Lay It On The Line - Triumph Life Is A Rock But The Radio Rolled Me - Reunion Long May You Run - Mr. Neil Young Mama Weer All Crazee Now - Slade Maybe Tomorrow - BADFINGER!

skybluesky Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 (edited) Laurie's list reads like a list of the best forgotten classics. I can't wait to dig in to this one! And, Smackwater Jack is my mom's favorite Carole King song, so that one gets a for sure vote from me! 1- How Much I Feel - Ambrosia - Laurie tantalized me with this one ages ago 2- Just Remember I Love You - Firefall - This song makes me cry 3- Second Hand News - Fleetwood Mac - I feel guilty loving this song because it's so mean to Stevie 4- Sandman - America 5- Smackwater Jack - Carole King 6- Long May You Run - Mr. Neil Young 7- Proud Mary - Tina & Ike Turner 8- Lady - Little River Band 9- Working At The Car Wash Blues ~ Jim Croce - I'm surprised Jim hasn't been on more lists. 10- What More Can I Do - Zombies Honorable Mention ~ Brother Louie - Stories Dixie Chicken - Little Feat Do You Feel Like We Do - Peter Frampton Get Ready - Temptations Hey You ~ BTO Hitchin' A Ride ~ Vanity Fare I Heard It Through Through The Grapevine - Gladys Knight and the Pips It's All I Can Do - The Cars Lay It On The Line - Triumph Mama Weer All Crazee Now - Slade Midnight Special - CCR Roam - B-52´s Share The Land ~ Guess Who The Letter - Joe Cocker Those Shoes - Eagles Edited March 7, 2010 by Guest added votes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karma Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Laurie, just as I suspected, it is a fantastic list and also as I suspected you and I would have at least one of the same and I am surprised that there wasn't more as you and I seem to like the same music. Is an swesome list and I will have a hard time choosing. GREAT JOB! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel2Velvet Posted March 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 This is my replacement nom for Led Zeppelin this week. I'll try to do Fool in the Rain next week She Will Be Loved - Maroon 5 ('02) I think you stumbled back to the wrong ship, sailor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
