[Bigboote]

One of the best prog rock songs ever:

As is my wont, a tearjerker from Tom Waits:

Gods, I'd never seen this footage before. Steeleye are one of my favorite bands ever. This is an old ballad, also known as The Raggle-taggle Gypsies, The Dark-eyed Gypsy, Gypsy Davy. . .

I loved singing this song as a kid. I didn’t know it was about heroin then.

 

[Waquoit]

One of the best prog rock songs ever:

Coming to New Haven soon!

 

[Waquoit]

Big hit when I was clubbing

 

[Littlemin]

Interesting trivia; Iggy Pop of punk and Stooges fame and Bill Kirchen, lead guitarist for Commander Cody and The Lost Planet Airmen, in addition to a very solid solo career, attended high school together.
Boz Scaggs and Steve Miller went one step further, not only attending the same high school, but played in bands together during those years and continued that on at the same college for awhile.

I don't think yellow has gotten much play so far, so here's a couple.

I think I get a triple bonus for this one. The band name has a color, and 2 different colors in the song title.

Here's a twofer (colors). This was Bing's theme song, and a beautiful love song for the pre-war years. " Where the Blue of the Night Meets the Gold of the Day."

The original vocals are better, but a barely recognizable Brie Larsen does a credible job in this version. "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World" is a strange movie, but I found it entertaining. It's one of those movies, EVERYBODY is in it.

Got a few more to add to the count for blue. Here's 2, same title, different songs.

"White Bird" is a 1969 song by San Francisco rock group It's a Beautiful Day, written by Linda LaFlamme (née Neska) and her then husband David LaFlamme. -Wikipedia

Nor sure who they were (Knight Rider - Michael & Stevie (original song)) the video clip is not really what i feel/see in my mind's eye when i hear this song. When i was attending UCSB (1969) this album seemed to be on every other person's turntable (remember those?!) Anyway, this is one of those songs that instantly brings back a decade long ago...
