FlaSoxxJim Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 QUOTE(The Critic @ Feb 3, 2006 -> 05:20 AM) There is no shortage of great Thin Lizzy and Cheap Trick songs, but I went with Boys Are Back and Surrender because they're the most well-known of their songs. If we're talking favorite songs by classic rock artists, then I'd say Thunder and Lightning or Cold Sweat by Lizzy and Auf Wiedersehen or Baby Loves To Rock by Trick. Lots of my durably favorite Cheap Trick is on Next Position Please - I Don't Love Here Anymore and the like - because I think Mr. Rundgren's production is quite good on that album. I think Todd's best production, hands down, is xtc's Skylarking. Near perfect, that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That tour was my first live show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Feb 3, 2006 -> 02:56 PM) Which three bands? Are we talking about my three actual bands, that I was in? For Cheap Trick, I am partial to "Daddy Should Have Stayed In High School". Something about the grit in that song. I will also take all of the One On One album, which I consider one of the greatest albums ever recorded. sorry, green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Hudler Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 (edited) Ridin' the Storm Out - REO Speedwagon Feel Like Makin Love - Bad Company Carry on Wayward Son - Kansas Long Time - Boston Old Time Rock n Roll- Bob Seger Southern Cross - Crosby Stills & Nash Walk This Way - Aerosmith Renegade - Styx Baba O'Riley - The Who Roadhouse Blues - The Doors Tush - ZZ Top Paradise By the Dashboard Light - Meatloaf Rock n Roll All Night - Kiss Piece of My Heart - Janis Joplin Slow Ride - Foghat Low Rider - War Love Hurts - Nazareth Smoke on the Water - Deep Purple Rock n Roll, Hoochie Koo - Rick Derringer Magic Carpet Ride - Steppenwolf Show Me the Way - Peter Frampton The Voice - Moody Blues Brown Eyed Girl - Van Morrison Black Water - Doobie Brothers Crazy Train - Ozzy Osbourne Life's Been Good - Joe Walsh American Woman - The Guess Who We're an American Band - Grand Funk Railroad The Cover of The Rolling Stone - Dr. Hook Ballads Beth - Kiss Dust in the Wind - Kansas Two Out of Three Ain't Bad - Meatloaf Magic Power - Triumph Notes: I intentionally left out Eric Clapton, The Beatles, Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, Van Halen and Cheap Trick because there are too many to choose from. I also left out Simon & Garfunkel because I am not sure they fit this genre. Some of these songs may have already been mentioned, but I couldn't remember for sure. These are just a few great songs/personal favorites from that era. Some may debate the validity of a song belonging in that era or some may feel a certain artist had a better song.

Yoda Posted February 5, 2006 Author Share Posted February 5, 2006 Wow Rex, that’s a pretty good list, but I was only asking for two. Is it possible for you to choose two songs out of that list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knightni Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 I heard a good one tonight. More "contemporary" like the '84 Monte Carlo is to muscle cars. "I Love Rock N Roll" by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerhead johnson Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 It's too difficult to choose just two songs, but here you go: Rolling Stones: Street Fighting Man Jimi Hendrix: All Along The Watchtower And I'll just go ahead and choose two songs from my favorite band: Beatles: We Can Work It Out Beatles: In My Life And Bob Dylan too, although they're both from bootlegs: Don't Think Twice, It's Alright (Live In Manchester 1965) Idiot Wind (NY Sessions Outtake 1974) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of these songs may have already been mentioned, but I couldn't remember I'm not a Paul Simon fan, but "Sounds Of Silence" is a kick-ass song. I've been getting into a lot of Dire Straits stuff recently too. They probably don't qualify because they emerged in the Disco era, but then again, Pink Floyd tracks from "The Wall" should qualify as classic rock, so I'll mention this absolutely phenomenal track: The Sultans Of Swing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerhead johnson Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 QUOTE(DePloderer @ Feb 2, 2006 -> 10:35 PM) Cream - White Room One of my favorite bootlegs is the Cream's BBC Sessions: Prehistoric Sounds 1CD You want to talk about a front-to-back slammer?

Drew Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 (edited) Subterranean Homesick Blues / Bob Dylan "Isis" is my all-time favorite Dylan tune, but if you want to rock, go Subterranean or 115th Dream. Making Time / Creation Rent Rushmore and watch the opening Yearbook sequence if you don't know what I'm talking about. {edited down to two} Edited February 7, 2006 by Drew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The B side of the "Brothers in Arms" album was great! The A side had Money For Nothing, Walk Of Life, etc .... But I always felt the flip side was much better.

I was doing a rock bar dj thing when that came out, I had to play the A stuff but would be listening to the B side in my headphones. Come to think of that, I did an aweful lot of that while working there. In could have been worse, my buddies who were doing dance clubs and weddings were spinning Brick House and Celebration on their 12s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
