_Laurie_ Posted May 20, 2007 Report Posted May 20, 2007 Now who else do I like from then....? BADFINGER!
Lucky Posted May 20, 2007 Report Posted May 20, 2007 (edited) Oh I'm so excited!! Radhi, you and I are closer than one may have imagined! I really cannot abide Pink Floyd (maybe a couple songs here and there), The Doors are great (Roadhouse Blues is my favorite), I love The Who, and, by coincidence, one of my favorite songs by them is the very intellectual think piece Magic Bus!! Not into bubblegummy pop? Not even Sugar Sugar, by the very intense Archies?? Really, all I'm not trying to be argumentative, I'd just like to see everyone open up to more diverse possibilities!

_Laurie_ Posted May 20, 2007 Report Posted May 20, 2007 I love Sugar, Sugar! Such a happy little tune...
Lucky Posted May 20, 2007 Report Posted May 20, 2007 Sugar Sugar I love it too!! I've been wanting to nominate it!
TheLizard Posted May 20, 2007 Report Posted May 20, 2007 Sorry Lucky, but unless everyone else nominates Celine Dion and Barry Manilow songs, I won't vote for Sugar Sugar.
Levis Posted May 20, 2007 Report Posted May 20, 2007 Ah! And I adore Your Woman No really, I could never ever get into Pink Floyd. I tried The Wall, and made the mistake of also trying that studio album - Ummagumma. Ouch my head! and Tim's right - The Doors feel newer than they are. My favourite by them would be... let's see... Love Her Madly, I think... and Riders on the Storm.
TheLizard Posted May 20, 2007 Report Posted May 20, 2007 Ummagumma is definitely not a good Floyd starting point. I can understand someone not liking Pink Floyd, because they're kind of ponderous (personally, I love everything they've ever done), but if you haven't, Radhi, I'd suggest at least giving Piper at the Gates of Dawn (their first album) a listen. It's very different from their later material, and sounds nothing like The Wall, DSOTM, etc.
The Seeker Posted May 20, 2007 Report Posted May 20, 2007 I quite like Piper at The Gates of Dawn... but their later stuff doesn't do much for me, just some songs. (yes, the hits )
TheLizard Posted May 20, 2007 Report Posted May 20, 2007 I don't know why I love Pink Floyd so much, but I suppose I'm just a stoner at heart. It's funny how many people at my school think I'm a stoner just because of what I look like and what music I listen to. Even the actual stoners thought I was a stoner for a while, and for the most part I fit in better with the stoners, even though I don't smoke pot...
Lucky Posted May 20, 2007 Report Posted May 20, 2007 I was only teasing about Sugar Sugar. As an original ex-stoner I can say the only reason I ever got into Pink Floyd was for the laser light shows they used to have at the planetarium. As in, "Wow check out those trails, man"....
TheLizard Posted May 20, 2007 Report Posted May 20, 2007 I think I may have first started to get into Pink Floyd when my doctor prescribed my codeine for my sore throat. Hmmm.....
OLD 55 Posted May 21, 2007 Report Posted May 21, 2007 Hey Laurie and Lucky ! I've had Sugar,Sugar on my Lista for ages. One of you nominate it and you have my vote for sure.
OLD 55 Posted May 21, 2007 Report Posted May 21, 2007 The Doors... My favourite by them would be... let's see... Love Her Madly, I think... and Riders on the Storm. MINE TOO, and in that order. I nominated both of them into the Ten. Good for me.
Jenny Posted May 21, 2007 Report Posted May 21, 2007 I like "oldies" and "newies", so am I middle-aged?
edna Posted May 21, 2007 Report Posted May 21, 2007 No really, I could never ever get into Pink Floyd. I tried The Wall, and made the mistake of also trying that studio album - Ummagumma. Ouch my head! Ummagumma is an album for Floyd fans, Radhi... and The Wall isn´t their best album at all. Try "Meddle", "Atom Heart Mother" or "Dark Side of the Moon".
Levis Posted May 21, 2007 Report Posted May 21, 2007 I'm glad you sympathise! I'll gather up the nerve soon to pick up another Floyd album, IF nothing else tempts me more
edna Posted May 21, 2007 Report Posted May 21, 2007 IF Yes, "If" is a beautiful song, you might like it... it´s on "Atom Heart Mother"...
edna Posted May 22, 2007 Report Posted May 22, 2007 I (almost) always nominate according to the songs I was lisening to the night before while driving home, or that I heard somewhere shopping or so... this time I think I´ll nominate Oh, Diane - Fleetwood Mac and Lady of the Night - Donna Summer I might change my mind... mainly if I find a youtube link to that song by The Motels...
OLD 55 Posted May 22, 2007 Report Posted May 22, 2007 edna, I'd vote for just about any Fleetwood Mac song. That one might as well have been credited to Lindsey Buckingham solo - and it would certainly get my vote. I never really could take to Donna Summer.
edna Posted May 22, 2007 Report Posted May 22, 2007 Oh, I love Donna Summer... That Moroder sound, so disco and so mid-seventies!!
OLD 55 Posted May 23, 2007 Report Posted May 23, 2007 Peace On Earth/Little Drummer Boy - David Bowie and Bing Crosby From Bing Crosby's 1977 Christmas Special. Well worth a look if only out of curiosity. The song was released on 45 RPM record in 1982 without much commercial success, but charted in 2000 (and a couple of times since at Christmas) when released as a CD single with the dialogue.
_Laurie_ Posted May 23, 2007 Report Posted May 23, 2007 One of my favorite Christmas Duets 55!! thanks for the video!
phil Posted May 23, 2007 Report Posted May 23, 2007 Like The Fleetwood Mac 50's tribute. Bing and Ziggy, it don't get better than that!
