Pick Your Favorite Song by a Group/Artist

[Ozimoto]

And my very favorite song from Enya (after she left Clannad). "The Celts."

 

[Ozimoto]

Melissa Etheridge "I'm the Only One."

 

[Bigboote]

Clannad's "Lish Young Buy a Broom." Again, not one of their often played songs.

I love this song. It was part of my repertoire a few decades back. I learned it from Tim Hart and Maddy Prior, who put out two or three albums before they formed Steeleye Span.

 

[Scud49]

Robbie Robertson of "The Band" fame, from one of his solo albums - "Ghost Dance" - a beautiful moving tribute to Native Americans:

“It’s late September and I really should be back at school”

It actually was late September (1971) and my girlfriend and I really should have been back at school but being young and foolish we decided to take our first road trip together and it seemed like this song was on the radio constantly. I guess the trip went pretty well - 47th anniversary coming up soon.

Yeah, but did you ever finish school?

 

[Ozimoto]

Steve Earle's "Copperhead Road."



Yeah, I like a lot of different music...

 

[Scud49]

Ah, Frank, I kinda forgot about him. I've always adored "Camarillo Brillo"

"Is that a real poncho... I mean Is that a Mexican poncho or is that a Sears poncho"?

 

[Scud49]

Steve Earle does it for me with this tune:

 

[Ozimoto]

My favorite Bangles song "September Gurls."

 

[Kaizen]

 

[Ozimoto]

I like many Gordon Lightfoot songs, but this is my favorite. I guess it appeals to the civil engineer in me.

 

[Kaizen]

 

[Scud49]

The Bangles - they are sort of my "guilty pleasure" - this one is from 1986, the guys in the audience are just going nuts over them:

 

[RockyMTblue2]

I like many Gordon Lightfoot songs, but this is my favorite. I guess it appeals to the civil engineer in me.

I choose The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. My close second was If You Could Read My Mind.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Been a while since I listened to this haunting ballad. Randy VanWarmer Just When I Needed You Most

 

[uconnfan68]

Ten Years After’s performance of “I’m Going Home” was one of the highlights of Woodstock, but the band’s biggest hit was “I’d Love to Change the World,” released in 1971. It’s a great song with a fantastic guitar solo by Alvin Lee. The song has some bad lyrics, however, so I won’t post the link.

Loved the Woodstock song.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Dan Hill Sometimes When We Touch

 

[RockyMTblue2]

So, what was That? The That he wouldn't do?

Meat Loaf Anything for Love

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Have no idea if this is up already. Air Supply Making Love Out Of Nothing At All 2 versions up with 170 million plus hits

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Kim Carnes Bette Davis Eyes .... night gang

This is even wow... 752 M views

Great video. Fun. Every move Cyndi makes in it is perfect.

 

[bantamlaker]

Another group that was part of the British Invasion. They had a female drummer which was pretty unusual back then.

 

[Dove]

My fave song from Bob Marley. Just maybe my favoritest reggae tune, too.

 

[Scud49]

The Searchers - and a guitar lick I never, ever, forgot:

 

[MilfordHusky]

Eddie from Ohio is an award-winning folk band from Northern Virginia with a cult-like following. They are always fun.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Some people just have a Knack for this sort of thing.

Definitely have to give a like for My Sharona by The Knack because without it we might not have had Weird Al.

“In mid-1979, shortly before his senior year, "My Sharona" by The Knack was on the charts and Yankovic took his accordion into the restroom across the hall from the radio station to take advantage of the echo chamber acoustics and recorded a parody titled "My Bologna". He sent it to Dr. Demento, who played it to good response from listeners. Yankovic met The Knack after a show at his college and introduced himself as the author of "My Bologna". The Knack's lead singer, Doug Fieger, said he liked the song and suggested that Capitol Records vice president Rupert Perry release it as a single. "My Bologna" was released as a single with "School Cafeteria" as its B-side, and the label gave Yankovic a six-month recording contract. Yankovic, who was only getting average grades in his architecture degree, began to realize that he might make a career of comedic music.”

So, what was That? The That he wouldn't do?

Meat Loaf Anything for Love

It's right in the song.

-forget the way you feel right now
-forgive myself if we don't go all the way tonight
-do it better than I do it with you
-stop dreaming of you every night of my life

Also the women predicts "You'll see that it's time to move on" and "You'll be screwing around". And he replies "I won't do that".
