edna Posted July 6, 2006 Report Posted July 6, 2006 Tom Petty was a good friend of Del Shannon's. Didn't they record together a cover of "Out of time" in the early 80s?
Kevin Posted July 6, 2006 Report Posted July 6, 2006 (edited) Mindcrime , you must have a fairly regular wicked case of insomnia -- you're in CA , right ? Nice you're around , but , unhealthy, there, young man ! Old Geezer Edited July 6, 2006 by Guest Is it geiser or geezer ... ?
MindCrime Posted July 6, 2006 Report Posted July 6, 2006 Ahaha ~ Kevin you caught me Red-handed with my guard down. Me & wifey are up late, because my job shift is noc~turnal; & when I have my "at home comp work-assignments" nights, we stay up together, as she assists me in getting the due project done on time. In between work, we like to mess around with the computer on web community sites (like this one) or game zones.
Kevin Posted July 6, 2006 Report Posted July 6, 2006 In between work, we like to mess around You , kids , you ! What's this about being red-handed , then ...
katie_sane Posted July 6, 2006 Report Posted July 6, 2006 Katie, remember the ribbing you gave me after the FIRST State Of Origin ? Ahem, let's not talk about that
The Seeker Posted July 6, 2006 Report Posted July 6, 2006 Those are probably only renominations (I've no clue), but here's mine: Light My Fire -- The Doors Living Next Door To Alice -- Smokie
OLD 55 Posted July 6, 2006 Author Report Posted July 6, 2006 Hi edna. I don't know that song, but as you said Tom Petty was a good friend of Del Shannon and backed him on some of his later records. Jeff Lynne was also a friend and produced his final (I think) Album. That may have been where the "Wilburys replacement for Roy Orbison" story came from, although I think he was too depressed for live work.
OLD 55 Posted July 6, 2006 Author Report Posted July 6, 2006 Those are probably only renominations (I've no clue), but here's mine: Light My Fire -- The Doors Living Next Door To Alice -- Smokie No, they haven't been nominated before Seeker. Light My Fire should place highly, and Living Next Door To Alice was #25 U.S., #5 U.K. and #1 here in Australia. I'll vote for it - it's a classic !
The Seeker Posted July 6, 2006 Report Posted July 6, 2006 No, they haven't been nominated before Seeker. That's surprises me...I thought that at least Light My Fire would have been nominated before.
edna Posted July 6, 2006 Report Posted July 6, 2006 he was too depressed for live work. He had problems with alcohol. Some shrink gave him prozac and he killed himself. This isn't the first time that people on Prozac commit suicide, but that's another story...
Kevin Posted July 6, 2006 Report Posted July 6, 2006 That's so true , edna . There is no present ( if ever ) cure for depression . What people take is only a guard against what they may do in such a case . Other therapies , but most importantly , an internal , personal , revision of mind are necessary . Some people can't/won't do this and it just has to be accepted .
Levis Posted July 6, 2006 Report Posted July 6, 2006 Been Caught Stealing - Jane's Addiction Luka - Suzanne Vega Luka - Suzanne Vega My name is luka I live on the second floor I live upstairs from you Yes I think youve seen me before If you hear something late at night Some kind of trouble. some kind of fight Just dont ask me what it was Just dont ask me what it was Just dont ask me what it was I think its because Im clumsy I try not to talk too loud Maybe its because Im crazy I try not to act too proud They only hit until you cry And after that you dont ask why You just dont argue anymore You just dont argue anymore You just dont argue anymore Yes I think Im okay I walked into the door again Well, if you ask thats what Ill say And its not your business anyway I guess Id like to be alone With nothing broken, nothing thrown Just dont ask me how I am Just dont ask me how I am Just dont ask me how I am
OLD 55 Posted July 6, 2006 Author Report Posted July 6, 2006 I think it's time for some long songs. Free Bird - Lynyrd Skynyrd (approx. 9 minutes 10 seconds) Shine On You Crazy Diamond Parts 1-9 - Pink Floyd (approx. 26 minutes 5 seconds) O.K. I don't really think that 26 minute album tracks belong on our Top Ten. Shine On You Crazy Diamond is really 9 'pieces' in 2 parts melded together (1-5 and 6-9). I understand some stations play an 'edited' version; maybe it's 1-5? There's also 2 different versions of Freebird. I don't have any problem with it, and it will probably make my Ten. We'll show them like this in our Nominations List: Free Bird - Lynyrd Skynyrd Shine On You Crazy Diamond - Pink Floyd I had a message preceding the very first Top Ten - no obscure album tracks. However I acknowledge that these aren't obscure and would be known in one form or another by most people. Thanks to those members who helped me out with information on this.
c_s_1987 Posted July 6, 2006 Report Posted July 6, 2006 I had a message preceding the very first Top Ten - no obscure album tracks. However I acknowledge that these aren't obscure and would be known in one form or another by most people. SOYCD definitely isn't obscure. I think quite a lot of people have nominated fairly obscure album tracks, or even obscure singles, before. I don't see any problems with it, unless our nominations become overcrowded with obscure tracks and many people are unable to find ten songs they know.
daslied Posted July 6, 2006 Report Posted July 6, 2006 Isn't It A Pity - George Harrison (because it's from the greatest solo album by a Beatle) No Matter What - Badfinger (because I can't believe it hasn't made the top ten, and is a wonderful slice of pure power pop)
RonJonSurfer Posted July 6, 2006 Report Posted July 6, 2006 WELCOME BACK RonJon I thought "You Light Up My Life" and "Tijuana Jail" would be your nominations this time. Seriously, I'm glad you got a glowing report from the Doctor. The good nukes is I'm radiating good health.. I think Blondie's "Fade Away and Radiate" will be a theme song.
Dappled Posted July 6, 2006 Report Posted July 6, 2006 I wanna change my nomination this time and nominate one of my favs, an obscure single; Kites by Simon Dupree and The Big Sound. I just found a live video on YouTube.com. The studio version has a spoken part in chinese, spoken by a girl. Not on this video but it's good anyway: Watch it here! So my nominations are: Kites - Simon Dupree and The Big Sound Lady Eleanor - Lindisfarna
Malakin Posted July 6, 2006 Report Posted July 6, 2006 I nominated Avalon before, Uncle Joe.. it got a decent amount of votes, let's hope it fares better this time, it's such a great song! Here's mine: Iggy Pop - The Passenger Bruce Springsteen - Thunder Road
CanAm Posted July 6, 2006 Report Posted July 6, 2006 Those are probably only renominations (I've no clue), but here's mine: Light My Fire -- The Doors Living Next Door To Alice -- Smokie Great choices, Seeker! I didn't know anyone else here was familiar with Smokie. I've been listening to their music since the late 70's (boy, am I old!). I love their stuff. As far as I know, the only North American hit for the group was Stumbling In, a duet by Suzie Quatro and Chris Norman.
CanAm Posted July 6, 2006 Report Posted July 6, 2006 Lodi - Creedence Clearwater Revival Downtown - Petula Clark
TheLizard Posted July 7, 2006 Report Posted July 7, 2006 "Space Oddity"- David Bowie "Hardest Button to Button"- White Stripes
rtstuff Posted July 7, 2006 Report Posted July 7, 2006 Great nomination CanAm "Lodi". One of my mum's favorites. My nominations are 1. "Dedicated To The One I Love" Momma's and Pappa's. 2. " Fly Like An Eagle" The Steve Miller Band. rtstuff Things got bad and things got worse, I guess you know the rest of the story. Lodi.
CanAm Posted July 7, 2006 Report Posted July 7, 2006 a renomination: No Milk Today ~ Herman's Hermits Here's an interesting fact about this song. It was written by Graham Gouldman, former member of the Mindbenders and 10cc. Gouldman's songwriting credits are very impressive. Along with the material he wrote for 10cc, he wrote or co-wrote For Your Love and Heart Full Of Soul for the Yardbirds, Bus Stop for the Hollies and the aforementioned No Milk Today. I love 10cc and will start a thread about the band in Music Discussion.
edna Posted July 7, 2006 Report Posted July 7, 2006 I nominated "No Milk Today" some tops ago but I think it didn t make it. Let's see this time... Isn't It A Pity - George Harrison No Matter What - Badfinger Lodi - Creedence Clearwater Revival Downtown - Petula Clark Laurie should come and see how Badfinger can make it...
