Eminence Front - Pretty good song from the Who

6196 - 6198 - Don't know them

Shilo - I like Neil Diamond's early music, and this is a favorite

6193 & 6194 - Don't know them

The Boxer - "In the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by his trade" A favorite from S&G.

6190 & 6191 - Don't know them

I tried to answer earlier this afternoon but my internet connection went kaput! oh well let me try again.


6200 - The last hit I remember was One Lonely Night - I bought the 45 at the time.

6199 - Wow a video? - I don't remember ever seeing it although my classic rock station plays the song quite a bit.


6198 - They really lost me at this point - I didn't like any of it - yuck!


6197 - She never really did much for me.


6196 - This has always been a big fave - Cher also did a version.


6195 - Thought it was an odd choice for a name. but it brings back nice memories - I heard it quite often.

6194 - Never heard it but would like too. What's the title of the cassette Adam?


6193 - I really like quite a few of these later songs - this one is ok , but there are stronger songs.


6192 - Love the harmonies and thought the reverb on the snare drum always sounded cool.


6191 - I forgot just how much this was played on the radio back then.

6190 - I actually don't mind it.

6189 - Not a huge fan but I don't mind a few - this I think was her best


6188 - I know the name and probably heard it at the time - but it's not my thing.


6187 - Can't recall where I first heard this - a k-tel album maybe? I bought my original copy back in the 80's

6186 - I remember this cover - there is nothing like the original.

6185 - The first CD I ever bought. I had not listened to it for quite a while and played it a few weeks ago - yes the lyrics are somewhat darker in mood but I still really like the album.


6184 - They slowed this down way to much . It's one of my least favorite cover versions.


6183 - LMAO!!

6182 - eh

6181 - I really like this and bought the cassingle at the time.

6200. Really, you don't remember That Ain't Love or In My Dreams?

6199. The whole video is basically them walking onto stage in what appears to be them doing an afternoon rehearsal.

6194. It was a real cheapy. I think it was like Lady and Other Songs or something like that! LOL! RCA Budget line. No picture on the cover or anything.

6185. It seemed like it-even the cover was "darker" in mood.

One Too Many Girlfriends--This is one too many obscure songs by REO. I'm afraid I don't know it.

Eminence Front--Never liked this much. There's just not much to it.

Numb--Can't remember how the song goes, but the video is familiar. Aren't they tying the guy up, or wrapping tape around him or something? Been awhile since I've seen it.

Control--It's ok I suppose.

I'm No Angel--I always liked the line "I might steal your diamonds, but I'll bring you back some gold". Good song.

Shilo--Isn't THIS song about a dog? "Shilo when I was young, I used to call your name. When no one else would come, Shilo you always came. And you'd stay." I remember the "Shilo" album cover. It was an outline of Neil's face, and you had to connect the dots to make his face complete. I always thought that was pretty cool.

Jonas Psalter--Never heard of it. Sounds interesting though.

Man Without a Dream--Don't know it.

The Boxer--Love this one. And no, THIS one isn't about a dog.

The Search is Over--Don't care for it.

Do You Remember--Can't place it. Probably know it if I heard it.

Walk On By--Don't mind this one. Don't like Ms. Warwick, though.

Secret Lovers--Ick.

They're Coming To Take Me Away--I had this 45. On the flip side was the same song, only backwards.

Come and Get Your Love--Don't know if I ever heard this version or not.

Heat of the Night--Don't like it much.

Ticket to Ride--Big favorite of mine. Love this!

Reach Out and Touch (Somebody's Hand)--Not bad. Diana's a little over the top with it though.

Love Will Never Do (Without You)--I like this a lot.

Highwire--No clue about this one.

Numb-Yeah, that was it. They should have tied up the whole band-permanently.

6200. One Too Many Girlfriends-REO Speedwagon 1987
Not familiar with it.

6199. Eminence Front-The Who 1982/83
Don't know it.

6198. Numb-U2 1993
Oh for three.

6197. Control-Janet Jackson 1986/87
Unfortunately, the first one I'm familiar with on todays list -- I wish I wasn't.

6196. I'm No Angel-Greg Allman 1987
Heard it a few times, but never liked it much.

6195. Shilo-Neil Diamond 1970
The best today so far. Even though Neil was already drifting toward his M.O.R. club phase, this sounded like the old mid-60s Neil. Kinda folky. I've always liked it.

6194. Jonas Psalter-Styx 1974
Don't know it.

6193. Man Without a Dream-Monkees 1969
Title is familiar, but I don't redcall the song.

6192. The Boxer-Simon & Garfunkel 1969
Everyone has already mentioned to you that the word "Boxer" appears in the song, so I won't. -- Wait a minute. I just did! Pretty good song. A bit of trivia I heard about the song (don't know if its true) is that the echoey banging noise that you hear in the chorus (after the lai la lai) was made by slamming a door in an empty chruch.

6191. The Search is Over-Survivor 1985
One of those ballads that for some reason just happens to hit me in the right spot. (Never mind what spot) All time top 250!
(Open Arms, incidentally, does nothing for me, and I'd never equate the two.)

6190. Do You Remember?-Phil Collins 1990
No, I don't.

6189. Walk on By-Dionne Warwick 1964
Just so-so. She's done much better.

6188. Secret Lovers-Atlantic Starr 1985/86
OK, not great.

6187. They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha Haaa!-Napoleon XIV 1966 I always found it very funny. Of course, it offended many self-righteous people who live to get offended. As a result, many radio stations banned it. Thus, even though it quickly jumped up the charts to number 3, it fell rapidly, and was only in the top 40 for a total of 6 weeks.

6186. Come and Get Your Love-Real McCoy 1994
Only know the original

6185. Heat of the Night-Bryan Adams 1987 (Previous Ranking 3767)
Not bad.

6184. Ticket to Ride-Carpenters 1970
This was the first Carpenters song I ever heard, and I didn't like it much. (I can think of very few people who covered a Beatles song, and outdid the Fab 4). The Carpenters improved rapidly thereafter, however.

6183. Reach Out and Touch (Somebody's Hand)-Diana Ross 1970
One of her better solos, IMO.

6182. Love Will Never Do (Without You)-Janet Jackson 1990


6181. Highwire-Rolling Stones 1991
Don't know this one.

6191. I don't like Open Arms either. I just mean they were both ballads by arena rockers, and Open Arms was the first big one of that "genre".

6187. Why did it offend?

6184. Did ANYONE ever outdo the Fab 4 on their own song??

6200-6198--Don't know.
6297. Vaguely remember.
6196. Heard of it, but never heard it.
6195. I think Shilo is supposed to be a childhood imaginary friend--"Daddy says he'd love to be with you/if he had the time/So you turn to the only friend you can find/there in your mind."
6194-6193. Don't know.
6192. Yes--in the last verse.
6191. Liked it at the time, but too sappy now.
6190. Don't know.
6189. Decent '60s pop.
6188. Don't know.
6187. I have the 45! And yes, the song is about a man going crazy because his dog runs away.
6186-6181. Don't know.

6195 & 6187. There seems to be debated about what these are both about!

Some people felt it was making light of people with mental problems.

6199 - Wow it sounds like everybody saw the video but me LOL

6194 - Not even a picture? whoa that is a cheapy LOL

6185 - That's right.

(Doing best William Shatner) MUST.....GET......CAUGHT UP.......SO VERY......FAR.....TO GO! DAMN.......WORK IT'S SO........BUSY!


6200. One Too Many Girlfriends-REO Speedwagon 1987
Not familiar

6199. Eminence Front-The Who 1982/83
I'm sure I'd know it if I heard it.

6198. Numb-U2 1993
I don't mind this one.

6197. Control-Janet Jackson 1986/87
PLEASE MAKE IT STOP!!! I HATE THIS SONG!!!!

6196. I'm No Angel-Greg Allman 1987
I really don't like this one. At all.

6195. Shilo-Neil Diamond 1970
Not familiar.

6194. Jonas Psalter-Styx 1974
Not familiar.

6193. Man Without a Dream-Monkees 1969
"Sometimes I think I'm a prisoner of fate. Doomed to find out things a little to late. And so, I must play this broken man's role. Unless you come home, girl, and bring back my soul........CAUSE I'M A MAN WITHOUT A DREAM......." Just for you. I take it you don't like much of the Instant Replay album. I like it, but am "eh" on Present, and really don't care for "Changes". I do like this song.

6192. The Boxer-Simon & Garfunkel 1969
"In the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by his trade and he carries the reminder of every (something) that cut him til he cried out in his anger and his shame "I am leaving I am leaving but the fighter still remains"". Just so you know.

6191. The Search is Over-Survivor 1985
This reminds me of 6th grade unrequited love........

6190. Do You Remember?-Phil Collins 1990
Yes, I do - and this song still sucks.

6189. Walk on By-Dionne Warwick 1964
Eh - too muzac-y.

6188. Secret Lovers-Atlantic Starr 1985/86
I remember two skanky girls who rode my bus listening to this one over and over and over.......

6187. They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha Haaa!-Napoleon XIV 1966
I have this on my Dr. Demento set. It's ok.

6186. Come and Get Your Love-Real McCoy 1994
Not familiar with this version.

6185. Heat of the Night-Bryan Adams 1987 (Previous Ranking 3767)
Eh.

6184. Ticket to Ride-Carpenters 1970
I disagree - it is a pretty horrible cover - sorry to any fans.

6183. Reach Out and Touch (Somebody's Hand)-Diana Ross 1970
I have seen her holding hands of little children singing this song and crying.

6182. Love Will Never Do (Without You)-Janet Jackson 1990
I'm sure it is just as annoying. Not familiar with it.

6181. Highwire-Rolling Stones 1991
Not familiar.
