Kevin 3 Report post Posted December 5, 2004 Another simple offering. The first poster puts out the name of a band/artist ( hence 'Give') and a subsequent poster then 'takes' the group along with a comment as to WHY/WHAT they like about them/him/her. It could be simply a single tune, image, album cover, something they've said/done etc. Any reason will do, and one needn't at all be a big fan of the group to 'take' them. ex. Poster A: Give -- Captain and Tennile Poster B: Take -- Always enjoyed their single" Love Will Keep Us Together". Real 'feel-good' melody and lyrics. Give -- Blue Oyster Cult (etc.) I guess to help keep things moving, though, if no one has 'taken' the group after a reasonable amount of time (say 12hrs. or so), feel free to 'give' a new one. Subsequent posters can also 'take' a passed over group later, along with the present 'give', if they wish. Alternatively, the poster of an untaken group may post again, 'take' his own group (along with reason), and 'give' another. Hmm. Hope I haven't made this complex.... :: To Start: Give -- Blondie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Danielj 1 Report post Posted December 5, 2004 Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band's album Night Moves is one of my favorite I have on vynil. I also like the fact that he mentions an arena in on of his songs...I forget which. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

miamisammy29 4 Report post Posted December 7, 2004 Billy Joel is a very underrated artist. I love his "Piano Man" album, especially the tunes, "Captain Jack" and "The Ballad of Billy the Kid".

miamisammy29 4 Report post Posted December 8, 2004 Patti Smith is a scary-looking chick...like the Fiona Apple of the 70's. I don't really know a whole lot about her, except that she's very scary-looking and she he had a hit with "Because the Night" (which I believe was penned by Springsteen).

Uncle Joe 0 Report post Posted December 8, 2004 Patti Smith was immortalized forever on SNL when Gilda Radnor did a knockout impression of her singing a song called "Give Me Mick". Yes Sammy... that Mick . One of the funniest impressions I've ever seen. And she looked exactly like Patti...underarm hair and all. Anyone remember? Wonder if the video is available anywhere? As I recall she did a damn good impression of Mick, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin 3 Report post Posted December 10, 2004 'Atta boy ! definately one of Canada's best current rock bands. Perhaps a little lacking in musicianship when compared with Rush, lyrically they are maestros. This originally little pub band from Kingston, Ontario have grown into the ranks of the 'big boys'--just need some better promotion, IMO. Any takers should try "Fully, Completely" and "Day or Night".

edna 6 Report post Posted December 10, 2004 Siouxsie was a punk-dark-star in the early 80s, but she couldn´t tour as much as she wanted coz she shared Robert Smith (guitar) with his own band, The Cure. She was one of the most important "underground" characters from the eighties. Steve Forbert- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
