Man, what a group of 5 today!!! One of the best lineups I think there'll be. Kenny Rogers: My fave country artist ever. Believe me, in 1979-1980, this guy (at least to my ears) did NOT get a fraction of the hype that Garth got in 1991-1999!!! And for me, that's such a great thing. Absolutely love his voice, and there are only a very few of his I don't rave over (Lady, All my life). Even ate at the "Roasters" restaurants a few times! Just got his 4-CD box set--it's SUPERIOR. Faves: (Big list!) Coward of the county (One of the best country records EVER) She believes in me (Man I LOVE this) You decorated my life I don't need you (This top 3 hit seems VERY forgotten) Ruby (Don't take your love to town) (His first I ever knew) Islands in the stream (w/Dolly, RCA's biggest single seller ever, nearly 3 million) The gambler Love the world away (My 2nd fave Urban Cowboy tune after Boz's) Just dropped in... Love will turn you around We've got tonight (w/Sheena) (just as great as Seger's original) Lucille Share your love with me (Didn't know this was a remake till 5 years after) What are we doin' in love (Mainly by Dottie West) Don't fall in love with a dreamer (w/Kim) Something's burning This woman Reuben James Daytime friends But you know I love you (Remade by Dolly Parton) Tell it all brother What about me Love or something like it Through the years Buried treasure Sweet music man Twenty years ago Every time two fool collide (w/Dottie) Blaze of glory I prefer the moonlight Eyes that see in the dark All ever need is you (w/Dottie) Someone who cares Love lifted me Real love (w/Dolly) A love song They don't make them like they used to Love is strange (w/Dolly) The greatest gift of all (w/Dolly) Make no mistake, she's mine (w/Ronnie Milsap) Scarlet fever Morning desire Rolling Stones--My fave today! Deservedly one of the best rock-n-roll bands ever. Mick may have charmed thousands, no, MILLIONS of women, but my parents especially ABHOR him. No matter, I like his good range of "singing" and the acts he does on stage, quite a riot! Tour after tour, they just won't stop, making at least 5 or 6 appearances on Ed Sullivan, only because the fans wanted them back over and over--Ed personally never liked their music. Known many acquaintances (including my oldest brother) who are DIE HARD fans, one schoolmate of mine had every album of theirs. Forty years of music--truly one of the most durable spans ever. Love all their hits compilations, including "40 licks". Timeless music if you ask me. Faves--hold on! BROWN SUGAR!!! I can't get no satisfaction Honky tonk women Miss you (The single edit doesn't COMPARE to the original) Get off of my cloud Start me up Paint it black Emotional rescue (Don't like edits of it) 19th nervous breakdown Jumpin' jack flash Tumbling dice Angie It's only rock 'n roll (But I like it!) Beast of burden Street fighting man Mother's little helper Undercover of the night Lady Jane (their best B-side) Sympathy for the devil (Love the "woo-woo"'s!) Tops (LOVE it, from "Tattoo you") If I was a dancer (Dance Part 2) Hang fire Going to a go-go (Remember the video WELL) Time is on my side Waiting on a friend Happy nder my thumb It's all over now Ruby Tuesday Ain't too proud to beg Doo doo doo doo doo (Heartbreaker) As tears go by Mixed emotions Let's spend the night together The last time Shattered Fool to cry Have you seen your mother baby... Gimme shelter Tell me (You're coming back) Harlem shuffle When the whip comes down Dance (Part 1) She's a rainbow Under assistant west coast promotion man I'm all right pregnant dog We love you All down the line Not fade away Star star One hit to the body You can't always get what you want Love is strong Stupid girl You got me rocking Dandelion Dancing with Mr. D Come on Don't stop Heart of stone Winning ugly She was hot Let it bleed Rock and a hard place In another land (actually Bill Wyman solo) I wanna be your man I'm free She's so cold Wild horses Dance little sister 2000 light years from home Midnight rambler Too much blood Jivin' sister Fanny Anybody seen my baby If you can't rock me Play with fire Route 66 Hot stuff Congratulations Sister Morphine Love in vain Saint of me Rip this joint What a shame Citadel Memory motel Out of time Good times, bad times Little red rooster Singer not the song Had it with you I just want to make love to you Like a rolling stone Rocks off Can't you hear me knocking Black limousine Who's driving your plane Sittin' on a fence You gotta move Highwire Respectable Off the hook No expectations Mannish boy You better move on The spider and the fly Before they make me run Just my imagination Too tough Almost hear you sigh You can't catch me Sad sad sad Let me go I don't know why Live with me Out of tears Slave Loving cup Jigsaw puzzle Gotta get away Memo from Turner Slipping away ---whew--- Romantics--Great 80's rock! Especially LOVE their 2 best-known. Played their "In heat" album a lot in college. Wished they had more output. Faves: Talking in your sleep (forever top 500) What I like about you Test of time One in a million Shake a tail feather Tell it to Carrie Rock you up I'm hip A night like this When I look in your eyes Let's get started Bop Girl next door Gimme one more chance Diggin' on you Hung on you She's got everything New cover story First in line All that I want Ronettes--one of the best girl groups, period. LOVE all their hits, spotless Spector production. Great take on Xmas tunes as well. Still prefer their original "Baby I love you" to Andy Kim's. Faves: Be my baby Baby I love you Walking in the rain Do I love you The best part of breakin' up Sleigh ride (best version) I can hear music (shocking this only hit #100) Frosty the snowman Born to be together I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus Linda Ronstadt--What a lady. She definitely belongs in the Hall for her music versitality. Some 80's and 90's tunes I don't like quite as much, but no denying her chart success. Seems like a lot of her tunes were used in TV ads (Just one look, Get closer, It's so easy). Not surprisingly, my fave look of hers can be seen right on the cover of "Living in the USA". Another winner. Faves: Hurt so bad (Easily the best version) It's so easy You're no good Listen up! This was not even CLOSE to the original version. There were even 2 Hot 100 hit versions of it before; Betty Everett and Swining Blue Jeans. I'll step off the soapbox--Also, KILLER guitar by Andrew Gold! Different drum Just one look (How this failed to hit top 40 is WAAAAAAAAY beyond me) Heat wave Long long time (fresh sound for 1970) Back in the U.S.A. Blue bayou How do I make you Get closer That'll be the day Easy for you to say Tumbling dice Heart like a wheel When will I be loved I've got a crush on you Poor poor pitiful me Tracks of my tears Love is a rose All my life Ooh baby baby I can't let go I will always love you What's new It doesn't matter anymore Silver threads and golden needles Will you love me tomorrow Love has no pride Mad love Up to my neck in high muddy water Someone to lay down beside me Rock me on the water Don't know much Prisoner in disguise I love you for sentimental reasons Desperado Lose again Lush life I knew you when (not half as good as Billy Joe Royal's original) Heartbeats accelerating Round midnight The long way around Adios Adios, for today! DAMN, forgot all the Ronnettes' X-mas tunes!! Put those at the top of my list! |

Kenny Rogers--I've always liked him, mainly because my mom did, I guess. I saw him in concert a few times during the 80's, and he always put on a good show. A lot of his songs are among my favorites. Rolling Stones--Like some of their music, but the guys are just repulsive to look at. LOL! My husband was a big fan, and when we married, ALL 55,000 of his Stones albums moved in with us.  Gotta give 'em kudos for longevity. They just keep crankin' out the music. Whether or not it's GOOD music might be debated. ;D I also gotta give Keith credit. I woulda thought he'd have kicked years ago. Romantics--Really like the hits that they had. Seems like they coulda/shoulda gone farther in the business. Ronettes--Ronnie had such a distinctive voice. I don't have anything by them, but I should look into getting something. Loved her background vocals on Eddie Money's "Take Me Home Tonight". Linda Ronstadt--Might be a long answer here. ;D She's probably the first female artist that I really started listening to. She had such talent. What a voice this lady had. I made sure I bought every album of hers the minute they were released. She was a big part of my childhood and my youth, and probably started me on the road to becoming a fan of other female artists who could SING. I know most of her songs were covers, but, I think I said this once on Yesterdayland--by hearing Linda's covers of some songs, it made me want to seek out the original versions, and hear what they were like. And that can't be a bad thing, can it?  Faves: (If I listed every one, I'd be typing for 2 days, and you'd be reading for about the same length of time, so this'll just be a partial list.  White Rhythm and Blues (probably my all time fave by her. The lyrics hit home for me). Easy for You To Say, Different Drum, Long Long Time, It Doesn't Matter Anymore, Poor Poor Pitiful Me, Ooh Baby Baby, Alison, Mohammed's Radio, How Do I Make You, Justine, I Can't Let Go, Hurt So Bad, Look Out for My Love, Get Closer, Mr. Radio, Rock Me On the Water, You're No Good, Don't Know Much, Goodbye My Friend, Somewhere Out There...many, many, many, many more... I think Keith gives us an idea of what Jimi, Janis, Jim, etc would have looked like had they lived past 30! |

Kenny Rogers - Kenny Rogers was great in the 60s/early 70s. Then he started cranking out country hits. Then he did duets was everyone. Then all his songs became TV movies. Then I got tired of Kenny Rogers. Favorites: Ruby Don't Take Your Love to Town, Rueben James, Something's Burning, Coward of the County, We Got Tonight. Rolling Stones - Always liked the Stones better than the Beatles. Don't know why, maybe it was because they always seemed to be the underdog when compared to the Beatles. Just great straight up rock & roll. Still cranking the hits after nearly 40 years. My #2 all-time favorite artist. Favorites: The Last Time, Satisfaction, 19th Nervous Breakdown, Paint It, Black, Jumpin' Jack Flash, Honky Tonk Women, Tumblin' Dice, Angie, Fool to Cry, Beast of Burden, Start Me Up, Harlem Shuffle, Don't Stop. Romantics - The only songs I know are Talking in You Sleep and What I Like About You, both good. Ronettes - Another 60s girl group. Favorites: Be My Baby, Baby, I Love You Linda Ronstadt - Ok, so she's the cover queen. All her covers were as good as the original. Her non-cover hits were just as good. A place in the Rockhall? Only time will tell. Favorites: Different Drum, Long Long Time, Heat Wave, Blue Bayou, Poor Poor Pitiful Me, Get Closer, To Know Him is To Love Him (with Dolly Parton & Emmylou Harris). LMAO-love your write-up on Kenny!! ;D |

Trio? I don't know....why does that not sound right? Probably because that's the name of the group that did the song "Da Da Da"... Oops. |

Hey, Kath! You'll know this. What's the name of the group formed by Linda Rondstadt, Dolly Parton, and Emmylou Harris? Well, I just dug out my old vinyl album of theirs, and as near as I can tell, they were just called "Linda Ronstadt, Dolly Parton, and Emmylou Harris". LOL! But, the name of the album was called "Trio". So, maybe technically, the group was "Trio", too. Anyway--you knew what you were talking about. So don't let Sat get ya down. He just likes to tease us gals. LOL! |

Kenny Rogers - Love his stuff with the First Edition. His 80s country pop isn't bad either. Faves: Just Dropped In..., Momma's Waitin', Something's Burning, Ruby, Goodtime Liberator, Don't Fall In Love With A Dreamer (duet with Kim Carnes), I Don't Need You, Through The Years, Islands In The Stream (duet with Dolly) Rolling Stones - I like them...but I'm definitely not a huge fan as so many people are. My boyfriend believes them to be the greatest rock band of all time and doesn't get why I'm not more jazzed about them. My favorite songs by them are not the hits that most people like. Faves: Fool To Cry, Waiting On A Friend, Angie, Emotional Rescue, Paint It Black The Romantics - I hate hate hate "Talking In Your Sleep". But their are a few songs off their self-titled album from 1980 that I enjoy besides 'What I LIke About You" which is sooooo overplayed at actually never cracked the top 40.  Faves: Tell It To Carrie, Keep In Touch, When I Look In Your Eyes, What I Like About You Ronnettes - There are other girl groups from the era that I like better but these ladies were okay. Faves: Be My Baby, Baby I Love You Linda Ronstadt - So she mostly records other people's material, who cares?! Her voice is so awesome! Besides her rock/pop/country stuff I adore her standards collections with Nelson Riddle's orchestra from the late 80s. Sublime....  Faves: Blue Bayou, Long Long Time, Different Drum, You're No Good, Love Is A Rose, the entire Nelson Riddle collaboration on the albums "'Round Midnight", "What's New", and "For Sentimental Reasons" |

Ok - gotta get these caught up too.
Kenny - he's passable for country for me. My cousin is way into him. She was in the front row of one of his shows. She got a tambourine, and cash money! That's my kind of show! Favorites: You Believed In Me, Islands In The Stream, Just Dropped In, Lady, Through The Years
The Stones - one of my top 10 all time favorite groups. Love most everything they do. I'll list the VERY favorites: Tatters, She's Like A Rainbow, Gimme Shelter, I Miss You, Fool To Cry, Satisfaction, As Tears Go By, Street Fightin' Man, Sympathy For The Devil, Anybody Seen My Baby, Undercover Of The Night, You Can't Always Get What You Want, and all-time favorites (unbreakable tie) Waiting On A Friend and Ruby Tuesday.
The Romantics - I thought these guys would be huge. Just a two hit wonder. I liked them both.
The Ronettes - I don't like her voice. Favorite: Take Me Home Tonight (W/Eddie Money)
Linda Ronstadt - I don't really like her. I don't prefer any of her covers to the original. I'm not fond of songs like Blue Bayou. The only one I reall care for is Different Drum, and I'm sure it's because Papa Nez wrote it. He sings it in the "Davy and Fern" episode of the show as Billy Roy Hobstetter - he sings it really fast. It's pretty darn funny! Now that I have it on DVD, I'm gonna have to go watch it.......
