DID I SAY I DID'NT KNOW THAT SONG? I DID'NT KNOW IT BY NAME , BUT I DO KNOW IT AS FOGERTY'S BASEBALL SONG. YOU COULD'NT GET AWAY FROM HIM DURING HIS FIRST COMEBACK BID , AND , YES , THERE WAS MUCH WORSE ON THE RADIO, then , LIKE JOE WALSH'S "DOWN AT THE SUNSET GRILL", FOR ONE.....Boy , you did your research . I did say that , but it was probably more like....no ,you're right , it was 35 years , Rangers Vs. Red Sox , 1978. Went to see The Monkees AFTER a Rangers game in '86. Would have watched some of the game , anyway , but , we got there as the Peter Noone - less Herman's Hermits were doing their last song. They did let us in for free. Now , the shitty seats for the last Monkees show , here , were over $100. I PASSED ON A FREE TICKET TO A FOGERTY /WILLIE NELSON BILL , ONCE. I'd be hard - pressed to name my least - favorite Willie song.

And here's that Fogerty song Swamis was referring to, since John Battles claims not to know it, meaning he hasn't been to a single American baseball game in the past 35+ years:

1) John Fogerty- without the revival-
" put me in coach"- no thanks, dick..

Most younger people know it (and in many cases, like it) from Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy.

John Battles said:

Starland Vocal Band- "Afternoon Delight". OK , is there anyone who does'nt hate this song? (You younger people who may have never heard it , resist what little temptation that may come over you !).

I hate "The Weight" . "The Weight " I hate . Why do people think that it's so great?

"The Weight" by The BAND , surely one of the most overrated bands , ever. I know that songs that never get off the ground are Rock'n'Roll at it's finest (Any Deadhead will tell you so.), but , I never got it......They were fine as Ronnie Hawkins' backing band , but , after that , zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.  I was never much of a Dylan fan , either, so their tenure with him , I know I'M SUPPOSED TO ADORE, but , I find it a BORE , BORE , BORE.

Starland Vocal Band- "Afternoon Delight". OK , is there anyone who does'nt hate this song? (You younger people who may have never heard it , resist what little temptation that may come over you !).    I'm not knocking the sentiment expressed in this song , mind you. A few years later  , I read they did a version of "La Bamba", with new lyrics , giving themselves a CO - CREDIT !

THERE'S A REAL CREEPY COUNTRY - POP SONG , EARLY - MID 70'S , I THINK.  It sounds like a duet by a creepy older guy and a barely of age , frankly scared sounding girl. They may have been closer than that in ages , in real life , but it sounds CREEPY ! tHE CHORUS WAS "gUESS i'M gONNA sTAY wITH yOU aWHILE". Fortunately , that's all I recall.

Like a White Trash "J'etaime.".

Big Dipper - "All Going Out Together" . Beginning of my non - love affair with Alt -Rock.

Stray Cats - "Stray Cat Strut". I would not LIE to you. I heard two bands cover it in one week. One band was led by Lee Rocker , and he should have known better.

Hayze Fantayze - "Shiny Shiny" . I worked in a Pizza place in '83 , I had TO LISTEN TO THE RADIO OR MY CO-WORKER'S CRAP - METAL TAPES , most of the time (YES , LIKE SCORPIONS , 10 years past their prime !). Mercifully , this song only got airplay for about a week.

Styx - Boy, it's hard to choose ONE. Probably "Sing For The Day". Sounds like their voices were sped up to sound MORE castrato.....Speaking of which......

Four Seasons , anyone? Hard to think of just one , probably "Big Girls Don't Cry". I'm probably a little more tolerant of 'em than when I was a kid , but that voice! Grating ! I'll even take Edith Massey's version over that.

Quiet Riot - "Cum on Fell Th'Noize" , "Mama Weer All Crazy Now" - Their own stuff is no bargain , either.

Motley Crue - "Smokin' In The Boy's Room"- as above.

Krokus - "Ballroom Blitz " - as above.

Joan Jett and The Blackhearts - "I Love Rock'n'Roll"  , "Do You Wanna Touch Me (Yeah Oh Yeah.)- as above.  Don't get me wrong , I even liked the  songs she sang with the later Runaways , most of 'em , and some of her first album , but , I never got on the bandwagon. I'll take The Arrows' original "I Love Rock'n'Roll' any day ( I met Alan Merrill. He said he's tried to reach Joan Jett , but, never met her. She should have been reaching out to him , to say thanks.), and I even prefer Tommy James' version of "Do You Wanna..." , he was in on the late train to Glam covers , 5 years before Joan , even doing "Devilgate Drive" by Suzi Quatro, whose schtick was "Borrowed by Jett , like Jim Dandy's was by David Lee Roth.

Black Sabbath are one of the best bands in the world..I cant think saying that scorpions are close enought to black sabbath!!!

I m not listening that type of music that time of my life, im a guy of (garage,punk surf psycho-rockabilly) music.

I stop talking about scorpions/...this discusion are not for scorpion i just say my opinion...:P

keep rcoking guys!!!

HA HA HA......But  ,  have you heard their first two albums? I was really surprised how good they were , like Black Sabbath with a bit of Pink Fairies Psychedelia thrown in. I do know , I did see Uli JoN ROTH ONCE , IT WAS SO wank! He had films of himself playing real fast , and he'd replicate what was in thE films perfectly. WOW, man !

yep, sorry John! i know you understand a bit german BUT if you would understand more you won´t like them, as well! :P

HA HA HA! Here I am defending early Scorpions
(As in ca. 1972.), and you've already shot 'em down , beforehand. Well done. : )

Tersicore said:

completely agree!!

and i confess: i never liked Springsteen, really! (and hate even the very early skorpions)

NoiseMaker said:

Time to get it off my chest...

Hey Jude - The Beatles

Good Vibrations - The Beach Boys

Unchained melody -The Righetous Bros

Hotel California - The Eagles

Born in the USA -Springsteen

ANYTHING by Journey...

ANYTHING by Def Leopard

...I better stop,,,,my brain is smokin'

U2 is a BAND?!  Kidding.....sort of.

I don't blame you at all for hating the Scorpions , BUT , if you like aggressive , somewhat trippy , early 70's Hard Rock at all , you could do a lot worse than the first two Scorpions albums. They sound NOTHING like what they went on to become.

John Battles said:

Nice overview of Andre's (Somewhat) recent repertoirre. The best thing I've seen him do , in recent years , was a reading of "Sweets" in a bar that was half comprised of Andre's friends and fans (Inc. Miriam Linna , Bo Dudley , John Drake FROM tHE aMBOY dUKES, Dan Kroha ,and Cynthia Plastercaster) and half loud , abrasive yuppies who would not shut up during Andre's reading. Enough people gave them death - stares and yelled "SHUT THE FUCK UP !!!" to almost bring it to a cease , then , when Andre said "AND THEN , SHE BIT HIS MUTHAFUCKIN' DICK OFF !!!!!" , oh yeah , they were gone.

My favorite Andre comeback records are still the two he did for Norton , which makes me uncool in the so -called "Garage Community". I don't think I've seen either of these , but , now  you've got me interested.  The Goldstars have been around a long time , Sal and Ken were also in Andre's previous Chicago - based touring band , The Greasy Wheels.

I'm a big fan of Dennis Coffey , but I only heard of this album in passing.

The "Directly From the Streets" album is shit. Unless you like BAD rap . I mean even - bad - for rap - Bad Rap. It's too bad they could'nt do better, together, him and Swamp. When my friend s, James Porter and Sean Maloney , and I interviewed 'Dre , I think in early '97 , he referred to Swamp Dogg as "FAT FUCKER !!!" , AND SAID HE REFUSED TO LET HIM TALK TO THE LABEL PREZ AT ICHIBAN(?). "WHY ? " Andre asked , "IS HE GOT TWO DICKS ?!!".

Williams claims he was offered a piece of "Mustang Sally", now the inexplicable theme song for Blues Bands all over Chicago , BUT , ESPECIALLY , THE SOUTH SIDE. HE SAID HE PASSED , THINKING THE SONG WOULD'NT GO.

But , "Bacon Fat" was a national hit. One of those things Oldies RADIO WOULD HAVE US FORGET.

Yeah , seemed like a longshot , but , who can be sure? Actually , The Ledge started out as a one man band , himself.

It's sublime , but creepy......They were one of the first to popularize acoustic music , again.

YEARS AGO , A FRIEND OF MINE HAD DEVELOPED A METHAMPHETAMINE HABIT . HE GOT FREE OF IT , BUT , HE COULD'NT AFFORD MEDICAL ASSISTANCE , SO HE HAD TO DRY OUT ON HIS OWN. HE WAS DELIVERING PIZZAS. WHAT MADE HIM MAD WAS ,HE'D GO TO ALL THESE FRAT BOY'S HOUSES , AND THEY'D ALL BE PLAYING WHATEVER THE FEMMES' RECORD WAS THEN , DOCUMENTING THE SINGER'S WITHDRAWAL FROM DOPE. IT MADE MY FRIEND MAD , BECAUSE HE HAD TO HEAR ABOUT A GUY WHO COULD AFFORD GOOD MEDICAL CARE , ALL THE TIME , AND HE HAD TO DO IT , COLD TURKEY.

This is lovely. A few years old but Takako is a real Maverick when it comes to music, culture and influence. Enjoy

For me it was the Ramones Surfin Bird. Once I'd heard that and knew it was a cover I had to source out the original and that led to nuggets and that was that. Hooked.
