Hi,

 

Brotherbuzz reminded me of my younger days yesterday. I used to feel like I was flying through the clouds when I listened to this song.

I am not a Lady Gaga fan but acknowledge she has great talent.

 

Her first song during the Super Bowl halftime show reminded me of the Eurythmics. Indeed, I thought some of her other music was reminiscent of the 1980's techno genre.

Hi,

 

Great memories of these bands.

 

Sandwiched between Glam Rock and Punk Rock came Pub Rock: a bunch of back-to-basics Brit bands, tired of the increasingly pretentious direction music was taking during the early 1970s, who unloaded their amps into the back-rooms of pubs. Will Birch's No Sleep Till Canvey Island is an engrossing and breezily illuminating study of a previously ignored period in British pop history, summed up by Brinsley Schwarz's Nick Lowe as "the regrouping of a bunch of middle-class ex-Mods who had been through the hippie underground scene and realised it wasn't their cup of tea". The Brinsleys persevered, as did Graham Parker & The Rumour, Ian Dury, Bees Make Honey, Eggs Over Easy and Ace. Then along came Dr Feelgood. The Southend-based R&B quartet electrified everyone who saw them--and among the audience at their 1974 Guildford show were Paul Weller and Graham Parker. Pub Rock was turned on its head again by the arrival of one Andrew Jakeman--"the manager from another planet"--who within two years had transformed himself into "Jake Riviera", and DP McManus into "Elvis Costello"--but that's another book. The only problem with Pub Rock was that it was essentially a live phenomenon. Crowds packed into sweaty pubs to watch the bands pumping out high-energy R&B or English rock & roll, but the experience could never transfer effectively to disc--which probably led to its hung-over end: "the blind" as Birch writes, "were in most cases, leading the blind drunk!"--Patrick Humphries

My daughter is getting married in a few months and asked me to choose a father daughter dance song. She loves the choice. Should I teach her to waltz? It isn't hard. 1,2,3 1,2,3 1,2,3 1,2,3

 

I know I am going to tear up. Anyway.

Cody Jinx released a cover of Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here"

 

 

There are some covers I like better than the original. Santana's cover of "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" is one. This is another and I was a huge fan of Pink Floyd.

Nice set. I was force fed country music as kid, so it took me well into adulthood to begin to appreciate it.

I know what you mean. My folks watched Lawrence Welk and Buck Owens.

 

Good musicianship and good song writing goes are found in many genre's.

I don't think Beethoven had this in mind when he wrote the Moonlight Sonata.

 

 

I think this was more of what he had in mind.

Hi,

 

Great song. It was the first song I went to after listening to this song. Good, but depressing. :huh:
