edna Posted September 5, 2007 Report Posted September 5, 2007 I´ve been told not only his songs are boring (though I like "F&R") but he´s boring too...
_Laurie_ Posted September 7, 2007 Report Posted September 7, 2007 I think Suite Judy Blue Eyes is really an amazing song... :guitar:
Farin Posted September 7, 2007 Report Posted September 7, 2007 I just noticed that every entry to songs by the Ramones in SF are credited to "The Ramones", but I only know them as "Ramones"... is it one of these UK - US differences?
johnny Posted September 8, 2007 Report Posted September 8, 2007 I'm not sure but I know what you mean Farin. On lots of different CD's/Books I sometimes see "Ramones" and other times see "The Ramones".... I'm not sure....
Farin Posted September 8, 2007 Report Posted September 8, 2007 really? umm, as far as I can remember on every cover I only saw them as "Ramones" without 'The' but music resources on the internet don't agree either... on allmusic they're "The Ramones", in Wikipedia they're "Ramones"
johnny Posted September 8, 2007 Report Posted September 8, 2007 Well anyway my favourite Ramones song is "My Brain Is Hanging Upside Down"
_Laurie_ Posted September 8, 2007 Report Posted September 8, 2007 Isn't it the same way with "Sweet"...I always thought it was "Sweet"...but I've seen it as The Sweet also...
Farin Posted September 8, 2007 Report Posted September 8, 2007 Isn't it the same way with "Sweet"...I always thought it was "Sweet"...but I've seen it as The Sweet also... yes, but in that case there's an official explanation: "Sweet" were referred to as "The Sweet" on albums before 1974 and singles before 1975 does anyone know if something like that applies for the Ramones too? or is it "call 'em as you want"?
johnny Posted September 8, 2007 Report Posted September 8, 2007 Yeah it happenings with a few different bands. The Smashing Pumpkins were just "Smashing Pumpkins" on their first two albums and the most current album, but for the rest of them they were "The Smashing Pumpkins. On one of The Cure's albums it just says "Cure" with no The.
Farin Posted September 8, 2007 Report Posted September 8, 2007 okay, tell you what: I'm convinced when someone can show me an official album/single cover, book, DVD or anything with "The Ramones", okay?
TheLizard Posted September 8, 2007 Report Posted September 8, 2007 Ramones/The Ramones are trying to confuse you. They're punk like that.
Red Fish Posted September 9, 2007 Report Posted September 9, 2007 Or maybe it's like Led Zeppelin. Originally they were "Led Zeddlin." But since Jimmy Page hated Americans, he said, "Let's change the bloody thing to 'Zeppelin', though I doubt those yanks would even know how to pronounce that." I don't know where I'm going with this anymore.
_Laurie_ Posted September 15, 2007 Report Posted September 15, 2007 A Peter Gabriel Song came on today and I thought it was Steve Winwood at first...Do they sound alot alike, or is it just me?....
edna Posted September 15, 2007 Report Posted September 15, 2007 They do, Laurie. I was listening to a tape in the car the other day and asked my husband since when he liked Steve Winwood... he said it wasn´t Winwood but Peter Gabriel.
blind-fitter Posted September 18, 2007 Report Posted September 18, 2007 After several months...the tape-player in my car is finally working again. :happybanana: This week, I have mostly been listening to The Triffids. Two albums: "Born Sandy Devotional" and "Love In Bright Landscapes". Great stuff!
blue_n_white Posted September 18, 2007 Report Posted September 18, 2007 Tape player huh? Maybe I should have kept my 8 tracks after all.
Sweet Jane 61 Posted September 18, 2007 Report Posted September 18, 2007 I have a tape player in my car, I still have a ton of tapes, also have a CD player, and go back on forth on which one I listen to. I do not in any way miss my 8-tracks...especially when it changed track in the middle of the song!!

I do not in any way miss my 8-tracks...especially when it changed track in the middle of the song!! Oh I have tons of tapes too. No way was I going to buy CD's to replace them all. I'm far to cheap for that
Sweet Jane 61 Posted September 18, 2007 Report Posted September 18, 2007 I tried replacing vinyl with CD's but you just can't unless you are wealthy. And I still like to listen to my albums, yeah they may have some scratches but I don't mind. As for my tapes, alot are ones I recorded of friends albums back in the day.
Sweet Jane 61 Posted September 19, 2007 Report Posted September 19, 2007 I just watched a video for a country song that a friend suggested I check out, it is by Sugarland, one of the better new country groups. He told me about it because of the lead singers voice, she has a great powerful voice. But the song, wow, it just hits your heart hard. Check it out. Stay ~ Sugarland
Sweet Jane 61 Posted September 19, 2007 Report Posted September 19, 2007 Ok I have watched this twice now and I am feeling a country pull, just a beautiful song. I need some rock and roll!! :guitar:

Stay ~ Sugarland The lead singer of Sugarland is Jennifer Nettles and yes she has some pipes. I'm sure you heard her with Bon Jovi on a song called "Who Says You Can't Go Home". Another tear jerker from them is a song from their first album called "Just Might(Make Me Believe).Check it out.
