INSANE list, April 1!!

[SAT-I need more room!!]

I hate the Click!!

APRIL FOOL!!!!!!

Ok, now that I made an ass of myself......

H2-NO new songs!!!!


5377 Half-Breed-Cher 1973

Back when Cher was a bit more tolerable. One of three 70s "people type" songs from her (Dark Lady & Gypys, Tramps & Thieves).

5376 I Go to Sleep-Pretenders 1981

Song you never hear on the radio. A decent slowy.

5375 Cradle of Love-Billy Idol 1990

Billy was fading here. Video was better than the song.


5374 Jumping Jack Flash-Rolling Stones 1968

Sorry, I know it's a classic, but I am WAY sick of it. Give me their psychedelic stuff.

5373 Day of the Eagle-Robin Trower 1974

I had heard about the former Procol Harum guitarist for years, and then a guy I knew had his signature album so I borrowed it. He recommended three songs. This was one. Good, but too bluesy for me.

5372 Manic Depression-Jimi Hendrix 1967

Not the best from his debut, but not the worst either.

5371 Money-Pink Floyd 1973

See, we are entering the part of the list where there are a lot of classics that have just been burnt by classic rock radio. Prime example.

5370 Break Up Song-Greg Kihn Band 1981 (previous ranking 3721)

This is on one of those tapes in my car that I mentioned in the post on the Main Board yesterday. In fact it's right after Rainbow's All Night Long. And I switch it off every time.

5369 Kiss Off-Violent Femmes 1983

Ok, Add it Up was the one with all the dirty lyrics? So which was this one again?

5368 (Just Like) Romeo and Juliet-Reflections 1964

Wow, this was 64? That year seems wrong. Anyway, not bad, sorta bubble gummy.

5367 Me and You and a Dog Named Boo-Lobo 1971

I am guessing, one of the corniest titles of all time. How exactly is the dog involved? EWWWWWWWW, bad taste!!

5366 Blue Bayou-Linda Ronstadt 1977

Funny how Roy, the man, sang it with an angelic voice, and Linda, the woman, sang it with a booming voice. She did it good though.


5365 Touch of Grey-Grateful Dead 1987

Their only hit was EVERYWHERE that year. Man, did that get annoying.

5364 Liar's Dance-Robert Plant 1990

One of the weakest tracks on the cutbin special, Manic Nirvana.

5363 Stone Free-Jimi Hendrix 1967

I actually heard Clapton's cover on the Hendrix tribute first. Not bad, but still not the best on that album.

5362 Another Saturday Night-Cats Stevens 1974

Kindof a strange cover for him, but apparently it was one of his faves. Decent, he did much better.

5361 Don't Give Up-Peter Gabriel & Kate Bush 1987

A duet from the album everyone owned. Oh, except me.


5360 Solitare-Laura Branigan 1983

Laura probably should have had a better career, but maybe she was too ordinary among the emerging Laupers & Madonnas of the music world.


5359 Pretending-Eric Clapton 1989

I just got way sick of the singles off this album.


5358 Baby, Don’t Get Hooked on Me-Mac Davis 1972

One of those songs that gets sighted when naming the bad songs of the 70s.



Have at it!

[Dawn]

5377 Half-Breed-Cher 1973
Love this! My favorite of hers from the 70s.

5376 I Go to Sleep-Pretenders 1981
This is definitely overlooked, I agree.

5375 Cradle of Love-Billy Idol 1990
Billy had pretty much lost me by this point.

5374 Jumping Jack Flash-Rolling Stones 1968
One of my favorite Stones songs from this period, but it is starting to get a bit overplayed.

5373 Day of the Eagle-Robin Trower 1974
I remember hearing this on one of the TV music channels, but I'm not recalling the specifics of it. I like several of his others, though.

5372 Manic Depression-Jimi Hendrix 1967
Not bad, but he had better ones.

5371 Money-Pink Floyd 1973
The first Pink Floyd song I remember hearing, back in summer '73. Still a huge fave of mine.

5370 Break Up Song-Greg Kihn Band 1981 (previous ranking 3721)
I've always liked this, but haven't heard it in ages.

5369 Kiss Off-Violent Femmes 1983
Not familiar.

5368 (Just Like) Romeo and Juliet-Reflections 1964
It's 64, but I agree about that seeming like the wrong year. Catchy.

5367 Me and You and a Dog Named Boo-Lobo 1971
LOL! I remember this from when I was very young - great Lobo tune.

5366 Blue Bayou-Linda Ronstadt 1977
I liked this in '77, but it's grown on me even more recently. I love to sing along with this - I actually sound pretty good!

5365 Touch of Grey-Grateful Dead 1987
I've never been big on this either, and I agree, it was everywhere at that time.

5364 Liar's Dance-Robert Plant 1990
I don't think I've heard this.

5363 Stone Free-Jimi Hendrix 1967
Pretty good one from Jimi, but not his best.

5362 Another Saturday Night-Cats Stevens 1974
I could never get into this one much - he had much better songs.

5361 Don't Give Up-Peter Gabriel & Kate Bush 1987
I can't recall this one.

5360 Solitare-Laura Branigan 1983
One of my favorites from Laura - she has a great voice.

5359 Pretending-Eric Clapton 1989
A good tune, but not quite up to his earlier material.

5358 Baby, Don’t Get Hooked on Me-Mac Davis 1972
Nice 70s pop - another song I remember from when I was very little.

[H2IZCOOL]

What do you mean "no new songs" IMO, everything after 1965 is new. ;D

5377 Half-Breed-Cher 1973
I have a hard time with any solo Cher. This group of "poor me" songs were annoying.

5376 I Go to Sleep-Pretenders 1981
Never big on them. Don't think I'm familiar with this one.

5375 Cradle of Love-Billy Idol 1990
No thank you. Definitely -- no thank you.

5374 Jumping Jack Flash-Rolling Stones 1968
This was a great party song back then, but now I can listen to just so much Jack Flash, Brown Sugar, and Honky Tonk Women.

5373 Day of the Eagle-Robin Trower 1974
Don't know it

5372 Manic Depression-Jimi Hendrix 1967
Never a huge Hendrix fan. Know I heard it, but can't place it.

5371 Money-Pink Floyd 1973
Since I don't listen much to CR radio, I still pretty much like this.

5370 Break Up Song-Greg Kihn Band 1981 (previous ranking 3721)
Another song that more or less annoys me.

5369 Kiss Off-Violent Femmes 1983
Don't know it.

5368 (Just Like) Romeo and Juliet-Reflections 1964
Not bad on the whole, but overplayed - and the doo-d-doo-doo-d-doo-doo gets annoying. (I've been using the word annoying a lot today)

5367 Me and You and a Dog Named Boo-Lobo 1971
I always liked this as a story song. Kinda makes you yearn for being young and free of problems.

5366 Blue Bayou-Linda Ronstadt 1977
I just never liked her covers. Sure she's got a great voice, but I never thought her interpretations matched the originals. And - hey - this is a Roy tune.

5365 Touch of Grey-Grateful Dead 1987
It's funny how sometimes prolific talent gets ONE shot at the singles chart and it's something atypical. Nevertheless, I kinda like the song.

5364 Liar's Dance-Robert Plant 1990
Don't know it.

5363 Stone Free-Jimi Hendrix 1967
Same as 5372

5362 Another Saturday Night-Cats Stevens 1974
I much prefer Sam Cooke's version to Osama Bin Laden's.

5361 Don't Give Up-Peter Gabriel & Kate Bush 1987
Barely remember it.

5360 Solitare-Laura Branigan 1983
OK, just OK.

5359 Pretending-Eric Clapton 1989
Don't remember it.

5358 Baby, Don’t Get Hooked on Me-Mac Davis 1972
I guess Mac's wife didn't (get hooked, that is). She cut bait and got hooked up with Glen Campbell.

LOL!! You are JUST like my uncle, who is about your age!

My dad and he both have juke boxes. My dad has a pure variety 50s-90s. Good balance, mostly 60s-70s.

My uncle on the other hand, last time I looked, out of 100 songs, he had 2 Doors songs, 2 Beatles (from 64), a Fogerty and Pete Townshend's Face the Face (can't figure that one out). The rest were ALL pre 59!! LOL!!!

Man! I'd love to see your Uncle's jukebox!

I've never owned a jukebox. Probably because I have so many 45s that I'd need to change them all the time, and I'm too damn lazy to do that.

If I did have one, I'd actually more likely stock it the way your dad does. (only very few if any 90s.)

Ready for this Ed-my dad has TWO in his basement now! LOL!

I got into an arguement with my dad's friend about how a 45 juke wouldn't be good for me because most of my faves are album tracks or the singles I DO like are edited! He wouldn't hear it. You older guys don't have to worry about those situations though!

[KittyKat - RIP Luciano]

5377 Half-Breed-Cher 1973
As a "half breed" myself, I always loved this song as a kid.

5376 I Go to Sleep-Pretenders 1981
I like this quite a bit. I haven't heard it in ages.

5375 Cradle of Love-Billy Idol 1990
One of the only tunes post 1987 that I liked from him.


5374 Jumping Jack Flash-Rolling Stones 1968
Next

5373 Day of the Eagle-Robin Trower 1974

5368 (Just Like) Romeo and Juliet-Reflections 1964
Too bubblegummy for me

5367 Me and You and a Dog Named Boo-Lobo 1971

5366 Blue Bayou-Linda Ronstadt 1977
Love her version. My fave from her.

5365 Touch of Grey-Grateful Dead 1987
Lame

I like Clapton's version better

5362 Another Saturday Night-Cats Stevens 1974
Haven't heard this in quite some time

5361 Don't Give Up-Peter Gabriel & Kate Bush 1987
This tune always struck a cord with me. I don't think there's one track off So that isn't good.

5360 Solitare-Laura Branigan 1983
I liked her at the time.

5359 Pretending-Eric Clapton 1989
Pretty good.

5358 Baby, Don’t Get Hooked on Me-Mac Davis 1972
Reminds me of my grandma.

[Ken]

5377 - Half Breed - Yeah it's a pretty good tune - I seem to remember her singing it on her variety show.

5376 - I Go To Sleep - One I tend to forget about - quite good.

5375 - Cradle Of Love - Billy's last great album - heard some stuff he did afterwards - just awful.

5374 - Jumping Jack Flash - Still love it.

5373 - Day Of The Eagle - Spotted the CD in the library a few years ago and taped 3 or 4 of the songs. Very good

5372 - Manic Depression - Great drumming from Mitch - a big fave.

5371 - Money - Sometimes I can listen to it when it comes on the radio and other times I change the station. I do have a 45 reissue of it though.


5370 - Break Up Song - I have never tired of it. I remember it took me awhile to find out who sang it at the time because the DJ would never say!

5369 - Kiss Off - Don't know it

5368 - Just Like Romeo and Juliet - It does sound earlier like around '61 or ' 62.

5367 - Me and You and a Dog Named Boo - LOL
Remember hearing this many times as a child.

5366 - Blue Bayou - Linda did a great job.

5365 - Touch of Grey - Wasn't it though? Lost track how many times I saw the video.


5364 - Liar's Dance - "Cutbin special" - LOL unfamiliar.

5363 - Stone Free - Thought Eric's cover was really good - like the original as well.


5362 - Another Saturday Night - This was the last tune I remember hearing from Cat - Decent - yes but agree he did better.


5361 - Don't give Yo - Don't know it.


5360 - Solitaire- Yup I remember this - remember a buddy really liking her stuff and recording the tunes off the radio.

5359 - Pretending - I still enjoy it.

[djdave]

5377 Half-Breed-Cher 1973
Great tune. I'm amazed many Clicksters like it!

5376 I Go to Sleep-Pretenders 1981
Heard of it...

5375 Cradle of Love-Billy Idol 1990
LOVE it always.

5374 Jumping Jack Flash-Rolling Stones 1968
Great tune. Just GREAT.

5373 Day of the Eagle-Robin Trower 1974
I think I've heard this.

5372 Manic Depression-Jimi Hendrix 1967
Love it lots. One of the reasons that debut album's high on my all-time list.

5371 Money-Pink Floyd 1973
One classic I never get sick of. Nuff said.

5370 Break Up Song-Greg Kihn Band 1981 (previous ranking 3721)
Awww...I never hear this one ENOUGH! One of the few summer '81 tunes NOT played on the radio station we listened to at camp.

5369 Kiss Off-Violent Femmes 1983
Yes, "Add it Up" was the dirty one. I like this one as well, and yes, better than "Blister"...

5368 (Just Like) Romeo and Juliet-Reflections 1964
'64 indeed. I swore for many years this was a black group. And still not owning this on CD is making me have a CRAVING for this!

5367 Me and You and a Dog Named Boo-Lobo 1971
LOL Sat! Huge childhood fave.

5366 Blue Bayou-Linda Ronstadt 1977
Great tune, fave of my parents.

5365 Touch of Grey-Grateful Dead 1987
Sorry, Sat. After liking their music marginally, this was the one that got me to REALLY like their music, albeit I've never quite reached "Deadhead" status...

5364 Liar's Dance-Robert Plant 1990
I may have heard this.

5363 Stone Free-Jimi Hendrix 1967
Awesome tune.

5362 Another Saturday Night-Cat Stevens 1974
One of my faves of his. Even better than Sam Cooke's original.

5361 Don't Give Up-Peter Gabriel & Kate Bush 1987
YUCK. Far and away my least fave from "So". I wonder why...

5360 Solitare-Laura Branigan 1983
Sad. Let the high-image women made her somehow slip into obscurity. One 80's singer I've grown to really like, and this is just about her best.

5359 Pretending-Eric Clapton 1989
One of his better post 1985 tunes.

5358 Baby, Don’t Get Hooked on Me-Mac Davis 1972
I have some "dorky" tastes, this I have to admit is one of them.

[55dodger]

[/glow]

[lora]

I think that was the worst April Fool's joke I've ever heard in my life...

5377 Half-Breed - Cher

Great song, although I generally like more of her mid-to-late 80s stuff.

5376 I Go to Sleep - Pretenders

Don't know it.

5375 Cradle of Love - Billy Idol

Like the video and the song.

5374 Jumping Jack Flash - Rolling Stones

I'm pretty sick of it too. I didn't know the song was that early though!

5373 Day of the Eagle - Robin Trower

I have no idea who this is.

5372 - 5367. Don't know these.

5366 Blue Bayou - Linda Ronstadt

I actually can't recall this one, but I love Linda's voice. She's an amazing singer.

5365 Touch of Grey - Grateful Dead

Good. Cool/creepy video, but the song got old pretty quick for me.

5364 - 5361. I don't know these songs either.

5360 Solitare - Laura Branigan

Laura who?? Um, can we say Karen Carpenter? Yes? Then let's hear her version!!!

5359 - 5358. Two more I don't know.

[Laura--I wuv u all :)]

Lora said:

5360 Solitare - Laura Branigan

They're 2 different songs with the same title.

5364 Liar's Dance-Robert Plant 1990
I don't think I've heard this.

This was just an album cut, so not many people beyond maybe Pete and Laura would know it.
