Steely Dan...back jack do it again

[KCALB SIRAY]

Don't have any links at the time since I'm at work, but I'll post them later.

Thin Lizzie --- Vagabonds of the Western World
Foghat --- Pretty much the whole line
Golden Earring --- Faded jeans

[Thirty-Nine]

Mountain -- best known for "Mississippi Queen," they had a lot of other really great songs that never got nearly the commercial success.

[kargoboy]

Ah seeing Jack Lambert brings to mind one of the best of the 70's right here from Pittsburgh: The Iron City Houserockers.
"Have A Good Time But Get Out Alive" is probably one of the greatest 'unknown' albums
of all time.

Another great almost-unknown: Big Star. Alex Chilton is probably better known as the
title of a Replacements song than for his own band!

Bonny Raitt - Angle from Montgomery. An old John Prine song.

I saw this on Youtube the other day... Steely Dan is one of those enigmatic "groups" which isn't really a group.

The making of "Peg" from the album "Aja".

Lots of hard work.

nothin' like music with humor , should be a slot for that like Alternative Rock , Progressive Rock . HUMOR ROCK . Such as STEELY DAN ( named after a womans toy :biggrin: ) , ZAPPA ( the king ) , The TUBES , The KINKS , THE FOOLS , WARREN ZEVON , Jimmy Buffet , Joe Walsh , etc.. Even RICK DERRINGER has a sense of humor " Easy Action " , www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2vveeUlGBM , from " IF I WEREN'T SO ROMANTIC , I'D SHOOT YOU " . Great title and song :laugh: .

Dead Kennedys and Misfits are the late 70's in a nutshell

Dead Kennedys and Misfits are the late 70's in a nutshell

I didn't realize the Dead Kennedys went back that far!
"Holiday in Cambodia" is just one of those all-time great songs.

Uriah Heep's Salisbury album was always one of my obscure favorites,particularly the guitar solo in the song Salisbury
And the linked song "A time to Live"has a lot of personal nostalga.

SOS Band (One of the finest examples of "slap" bass playing I've heard).

Good Times - Chic

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTQMMiHpeN8


This has been considered one of the first commercial rap tunes. Aside some Cypress Hill and some Beastie Boys I cannot stand rap at all. Rap is not music.

Rapper's Delight, based on Good Times. There was a lawsuit over it too, as the string section cost a ton of money.

After listening to Rapper's Delight, I noticed that alot of verses in more recent songs are exactly like some in that one.

After listening to Rapper's Delight, I noticed that alot of verses in more recent songs are exactly like some in that one.

Every rap song out there now borrows from a previous rappers song. It's the only way to make a song sadly. No originality

The song " On With the Action " that applies to the rampant decline of society , www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6XcYa24PKQ , " A FOOL IN LOVE " , www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5DVtmg0w0k , and " HIGHWAY LADY " great song for the :burnrubber: , www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ji00xWuTQCU . Then their release in '97 of WALK ON WATER , all tracks move yeh , such as" DARKER DAYS " for us aging geezers , this'll get the ol' blood flowin' and dislodge some arterial plaque :biggrin: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KtadOA0E_I and " A SELF MADE MAN " , www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXrZ0YWm0aU&feature=related , a dedication to WALLSTREET , the BIG CORPS , MR.
