INSANE list, May 5!! (2 Days late)

[SAT-I need more room!!]

Thought I'd play catch up!


4897 In My House-Mary Jane Girls 1985

Not too bad from these Rick James' slut, er, girls.

4896 Some of Shelly’s Blues-Nitty Gritty Dirt Band 1971

Very cool Nesmith written song. Both this and the originally unreleased version by the Monkees are good.

4895 Love is a Stranger-Eurythmics 1983

One of the better ones from a group I'm not big on.


4894 True Love Travels Down a Gravel Road-Elvis 1969 (new addition)

Very cool country sounding song from the King's Memphis sessions.

4893 That Day is Done-Paul McCartney 1989

Another very good Flowers in the Dirt album cut.

4892 You Belong to Me-Carly Simon 1978

You can tell Michael McDonald wrote this. Take that how you will.

4891 Swayin’ to the Music (Slow Dancin')-Johnny Rivers 1977

Doesn't it seem this should have been earlier? Not among his best.

4890 Elected-Alice Cooper 1972

Again, not his best. He would come out with much better.

4889 You Better You Bet-Who 1981

Man, I loved this back then, but it's worn thin.

4888 Silver Train-Rolling Stones 1974

Caught this on VH-1 on some Stones weekend once. Not bad, nothing I'd seek out though.

4887 Godspeed (Sweet Dreams)-Dixie Chicks 2002 (new addition)

Not bad, but their first two albums were better.

4886 Turn You Inside Out-R.E.M. 1988

I'm not a fan, but I really thought Green was good, and this was a good cut.

4885 I Got Stung-Paul McCartney 1999

Loved the King's original. Paul's cover isn't too bad.


4884 Sussudio-Phil Collins 1985

A case of liking the song and buying the tape for it, and liking the album cuts so much better.

4883 I Love L.A.-Randy Newman 1983

Boy this video was all over MTV. His best tune.

4882 I Was Made to Love Her-Stevie Wonder 1967

Again I prefer his 70s stuff.

4881 Gallows Pole-Led Zeppelin 1970

This song got all kinds of play once they did the Un-Led-ed special. III had much better songs.

4880 Oh Boy!-Buddy Holly 1957/58

Cool little ditty, but this guy was threatening with stuff like this? LOL!

4879 I Like it-Gerry & the Pacemakers 1964

Very Freddie and the Dreamers like, but a bit better.


4878 Baby Talk-Jan & Dean 1959

I forget they started back then. Cool little novelty.


Have at it!

[kathyb]

Yeah, where in the heck have you been, anyway?

In My House--Uh, no thanks.

Some of Shelley's Blues--Like this one a lot. I have it by Linda Ronstadt, too.

Love is a Stranger--Don't think I know this one.

True Love Travels Down a Gravel Road--Not familiar with this at all.

That Day is Done--Another one I don't know.

You Belong to Me--Not a favorite of hers.

Swayin' to the Music--I really liked this when it was popular. Haven't even thought about it in years.

Elected--Eh. I can take it or leave it.

You Better You Bet--Not too bad.

Silver Train--I might have heard it once or twice. Must not have left much of an impression.

Godspeed--For some reason, I can't remember how this goes.

Turn You Inside Out--I think I need some sleep. I can't remember this song either. LOL!

I Got Stung--Don't know this version.

Sussudio--It was all right back then. I can barely listen to it now without cringing.

I Love L.A.--WE LOVE IT! Great tune.

I Was Made to Love Her--Good song. I'd like to hear it again sometime soon.

Gallows Pole--Don't think I ever heard of it.

Oh Boy--Catchy little tune. I like hearing it occasionally.

I Like It--Another one I'm not familiar with.

Baby Talk--See above comment. LOL!

[Ken]

4897 -In My House - I remember hearing about them at the time but didn't hear any of tunes until about a year ago - eh LOL

4896 - Some Of Shelley's Blues - A superb Nesmith tune . The Continental Drifters did a nice cover.

4887 - Godspeed - Not sure if I know it.

4897 In My House-Mary Jane Girls 1985
Good song, but I seldom hear it anymore.

4896 Some of Shelly’s Blues-Nitty Gritty Dirt Band 1971
Don't know it, but would like to check it out.

4895 Love is a Stranger-Eurythmics 1983
Not bad, but there are a few others I prefer to this one.

4894 True Love Travels Down a Gravel Road-Elvis 1969 (new addition)
Not familiar.

4893 That Day is Done-Paul McCartney 1989
It's been a long time since I've heard this - I need to get Flowers out and have a listen.

4892 You Belong to Me-Carly Simon 1978
My favorite from Carly. Love it!

4891 Swayin’ to the Music (Slow Dancin')-Johnny Rivers 1977
Remember hearing this lots back in summer '77. Good one.

4890 Elected-Alice Cooper 1972
I agree, he had better ones.

4889 You Better You Bet-Who 1981
Great later tune from them.

4888 Silver Train-Rolling Stones 1974
Don't know this.

4887 Godspeed (Sweet Dreams)-Dixie Chicks 2002 (new addition)
I don't think I've heard this.

4886 Turn You Inside Out-R.E.M. 1988
I can't place this one.

4885 I Got Stung-Paul McCartney 1999
I need to pick up that album sometime!

4884 Sussudio-Phil Collins 1985
A bit overplayed at times, but still a good cut. Back in 1996, Mark won $500 from a local radio station because of this song!

4883 I Love L.A.-Randy Newman 1983
Just heard this for the first time a few months ago on VH-1 Classic. Very well done.

4882 I Was Made to Love Her-Stevie Wonder 1967
I've always liked this a lot, but prefer the Beach Boys' cover.

4881 Gallows Pole-Led Zeppelin 1970
Not their best.

4880 Oh Boy!-Buddy Holly 1957/58
Good early rock era classic.

4879 I Like it-Gerry & the Pacemakers 1964
Not my favorite from them, but not bad.

4878 Baby Talk-Jan & Dean 1959
Definitely one of their lesser played hits.

[djdave]

4897 In My House-Mary Jane Girls 1985
Great for the times. Have yet to own it on CD...

4896 Some of Shelly’s Blues-Nitty Gritty Dirt Band 1971
Good one!

4895 Love is a Stranger-Eurythmics 1983
Love it; one of their best. It had been nearly 8 years since I heard it when I got the Hits cassette for Xmas '91--like one of their least played hits.

4894 True Love Travels Down a Gravel Road-Elvis 1969 (new addition)
Cool title...

4893 That Day is Done-Paul McCartney 1989
Should really burn that CD soon...

4892 You Belong to Me-Carly Simon 1978
Love it still. The McDonald-like keyboard is actually from Richard "Stuffy" Tee--RIP.

4891 Swayin’ to the Music (Slow Dancin')-Johnny Rivers 1977
It does sound like more mid 70's (perhaps 1974), but I've always loved it since current.

4890 Elected-Alice Cooper 1972
Great tune! But there were even better ones... ;D

4889 You Better You Bet-Who 1981
Not worn thin for me. One song I would hope I never hear the 45 edit of (not since 1981--hatchet job!)

4888 Silver Train-Rolling Stones 1974
Good tune.

4887 Godspeed (Sweet Dreams)-Dixie Chicks 2002 (new addition)
Neh...

4886 Turn You Inside Out-R.E.M. 1988
I mighta played this in college...

4885 I Got Stung-Paul McCartney 1999
Should look it up: I LOVE Elvis' original!

4884 Sussudio-Phil Collins 1985
Another of those mid 80's tunes I have ranked SOOOO high on my CRAZY list. It's still my fave solo tune of his; I just don't like it quite as much as I did in the summer '85.

4883 I Love L.A.-Randy Newman 1983
Missed out pretty much on MTV. But I have heard this somewhere, and it's cool.

4882 I Was Made to Love Her-Stevie Wonder 1967
LOVE it; one of his MANY best.

4881 Gallows Pole-Led Zeppelin 1970
Great classic.

4880 Oh Boy!-Buddy Holly 1957/58
My fave of ALL of Buddy's!

4879 I Like it-Gerry & the Pacemakers 1964
Great one.

4878 Baby Talk-Jan & Dean 1959
Good oldie.

[KittyKat - RIP Luciano]

4897 In My House-Mary Jane Girls 1985
Fun to sing when you're out on the town with your girlfriends gettin' nutty!

4891 Swayin’ to the Music (Slow Dancin')-Johnny Rivers 1977
Reminds me of childhood. It was on a K-Tel collection that I played all the time.

4890 Elected-Alice Cooper 1972

Just okay. I was basically over them at this point.

4885 I Got Stung-Paul McCartney 1999

4884 Sussudio-Phil Collins 1985
Hate this, but can't help singing it when it's on.

4883 I Love L.A.-Randy Newman 1983

[H2IZCOOL]

4897 In My House-Mary Jane Girls 1985
Not a bad song. One hit wonders.


4896 Some of Shelly’s Blues-Nitty Gritty Dirt Band 1971
Heard it a few times back then. Not a fave.

4891 Swayin’ to the Music (Slow Dancin')-Johnny Rivers 1977
Pleasant enough to listen to, but he's done much better

4890 Elected-Alice Cooper 1972
Like it at a party, but not that great on its own.

4889 You Better You Bet-Who 1981
Another one that I haven't heard in a long time. so-so

4888 Silver Train-Rolling Stones 1974

Great oldie! Great memories!

[lora]

4897 - 4888. I don't know a single one.

4887 Godspeed (Sweet Dreams) - Dixie Chicks

Not one of the better ones from this album, IMO. It's okay though.

4886 - 4885. Don't know these.

4884 Sussudio - Phil Collins

I went through a stage where this song got on my ever-loving nerves. I've been like that with a few Collins songs actually, but I've grown to like him more as time has gone on.

4883 I Love L.A. - Randy Newman

Good one.

4882 - 4878. Don't know these either.

Gee, weren't my responses pathetic today?

I had the 45 growing up, and it is really lacking.
