CanAm Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 SRV made it to the number one position, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah!! And FINALLY, a Mellencamp song made it into a top ten list, even if it isn't my favourite Mellencamp tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue_n_white Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Thanks Laurie and Jane. And "Pink Houses" isn't my fave Mellencamp song either but it is a good tune :guitar: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenny Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 I am happy about John Mellencamp, too. Pink Houses is actually one of my favorites from him. Maybe I'll nominate one of my other favorites of his in another TT. I honestly thought more people would vote for Genius of Love. Oh, well, I guess that Talking Heads side projects aren't as popular as Talking Heads themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Jane 61 Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Thanks Laurie and Jane. And "Pink Houses" isn't my fave Mellencamp song either but it is a good tune :guitar: When I first saw him back in the 80's he did that song rockin' in concert! It was kick azz and the band jammed out! Not my top fav of his but seeing it live makes it one I enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue_n_white Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Of course "Pink Houses" came from the Uh-Huh album but my favorite Mellencamp album, is without a doubt, "Scarecrow". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted September 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 Stevie Ray Vaughan !! Yay for Crossfire! Yay also, for Pure Prarie League & John Mellencamp (congrats, Blue! ) Spirit, Carl Perkins, Macy Gray.... the whole darn list is great! Love it!

OLD 55 Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 Good Nomination Lucky. And well done blue n white. I must confess to not knowing all of those songs, and I didn't get around to listening to them (sorry). My eldest son and son-in-law would give their seals of approval to SRV. They have wall to wall 'guitar greats' Cds. The highlight for me is to see the great Carl Perkins make our Ten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Jane 61 Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 Of course "Pink Houses" came from the Uh-Huh album but my favorite Mellencamp album, is without a doubt, "Scarecrow". Mine also, he really came into his best songwriting with that album and a maturity that he needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Posted September 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 I can see where you might not edna. This ten, other than the Macy Gray song, has a definite country rock/Claasic U.S. based feel to it. Which makes it a great thread for me. Janey, and Blue, I saw John Mellencamp in concert in 05, along with John Fogerty (thanks to info I picked up from RonJon's news, I won those tickets), and he did Pink Houses. I'm a huge Mellencamp fan, but this song never did much for me either. He put a slightly different arrangement on it at that time, and it sounded great! I guess everything (songs and talent) mellows, and improves with age! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Jane 61 Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 Lucky, I saw Mellencamp in 2001 and I was very disappointed. It was for the album Cutting Heads tour. He was very mellow on stage even when he did Pink Houses, not the John Mellencamp I had seen 3 times in the 80's. He is a rocker that did mellow with age for sure.
