edna Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 "Breaking The Chains" Dokken Written by Don Dokken/George Lynch. The single was released in 1983 and it made #32 on the Hot Mainstream Charts. It's also the track of their debut album with the same title. It was released in 1981 in Europe and in 1983 in the US. Opener "Breaking the Chains" remains a pop/rock perennial (forever linked to the accompanying apocalyptic video wherein Don and the boys, well, break the chains).

edna Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 "Strangelove" Depeche Mode Written by Martin Gore. A track of their 1987 album "Music For The Masses". The single was B-sided by "Pimpf" and "Agent Orange" and it wass released on 13 April 1987. It made #50 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US, #16 in the UK charts, #2 in Germany and in South Africa and it also charted in other European countries. The original version of "Strangelove" is a fast-paced pop track. Though successful, this did not seem to fit with Music for the Masses's darker style, so Daniel Miller made a slower version that became the album version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edna Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 "Touch and Go" The Cars Written by Ric Ocasek. A track from their 1980 album "Panorama". Also a single released in August 25th B-sided by "Down Boys". It made #37 on Billboard Hot 100. The song's verses feature the use of polymeter. The bass and drums are playing in a time signature of 5/4, while the vocals, keyboards, and guitar are playing in 4/4. For the lengthy pre-chorus and chorus, all instruments (and vocals) conform to the 4/4 signature. The guitar solo was played over music similar to the chorus, but with some sections extended to give Elliot Easton more measures on the chords E minor, F major, and G major, to build his flashy, melodic solo which resolves to a C major seventh chord.

Jenny Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 "All I Wanna Do Is Make Love To You" via Wikipedia: In the liner notes of Heart's album The Road Home, Ann Wilson commented on the band's dislike for the song, stating, "Actually we had sworn off it because it kind of stood for everything we wanted to get away from. It was a song by "Mutt" Lange, who we liked, and it was originally written for Don Henley, but there was a lot of pressure on us to do the song at the time."[ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Waist Deep In The Big Muddy was recorded in 1967. It did not chart. The song tells the story of a platoon wading in a river in Louisiana on a practice patrol in 1942. Imperiously ignoring his sergeant's concerns, the captain orders the platoon to continue with himself in the lead, until they are finally up to their necks. Suddenly, the Captain drowns and the sergeant instantly orders the unit to turn back to the original shore. It turns out the Captain was not aware that the river was deeper with a joining stream upriver. The narrator declines to state an obvious moral, but intimates from what he has read in the paper that his nation itself is being led into similar peril by authoritarian fools. Each verse ends with a line noting that "the big fool said to push on", except for the final verse, which changes to the present tense, and the fourth verse which says "the big fool dead and gone". The story is similar to the Ribbon Creek incident, which occurred in 1956. The song was considered symbolic of the Vietnam War and President Lyndon Johnson's policy of escalation, then widely seen as pushing the United States deeper into the increasingly unpopular war. The captain's criticism of a dissenting sergeant as a "Nervous Nelly" in the song's third verse appears to mimick Johnson's epithet for critics of the war.[1] Seeger often performed the song at concerts and rallies, and in late 1967 he was invited to perform on the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour. Seeger chose to perform "Big Muddy," and sang the song on the taping of the CBS show in September, 1967 but CBS management objected to its political tone, and censored the song prior to broadcast. Following the strong support from the show's hosts, CBS later relented, and allowed Seeger to come back and sing the song on the Brothers' February 25, 1968, show. Ironically, at the time, Seeger was under contract to Columbia Records, which was owned by CBS, and had just recorded the song in an album titled Waist Deep in the Big Muddy and Other Love Songs This broadcast is included on the DVD The Best of the Smothers Brothers.
