Top Pick: The Best Recorded Song

[loseyourname]

On the first run through the CD, Ramblin' Man was playing as we finally got off the highway and slowly crept through the small town of Chamberlain, South Dakota towards the campsite. When it finished, I had to play it again, because it was just too good of a match for the whole scene.

Do delta women think the world of you?

By the way, South Dakota was the first state I've ever been in that has a 75mph speed limit. And it also has the Badlands. God bless South Dakota.

California has a max speed of 75, but you'll only find that out in the middle of the desert.

Before joining PF, I was a music addict. One of my hobbies was to make CD sets to take with me in my car, but most of all when going to Lake Powell for several days. In deciding to make a Classic Rock set, I began to catalogue and collect CDs/Singles I did not already have. I've been doing this slowly over a few years. I have everything I've collected so far in a spreadsheet--maybe I could find a way to post it, because I would love any additions I may have missed. (So far no one has mentioned a classic rock song I don't know of/have).

 

[Kakarot]

[Smurf]

Despite the way people like to characterize her, Shania Twain is rock, not cowboy ****, and I really like 'Up'.

That might mean something if it wasn't known you were a patriotic Canadian. You just like her cause she's famous and Canadian.

 

[Smurf]

You Are My Number One and Walking on the Sun by Smashmouth

:rofl: What? Not allstar too?

 

[Smurf]

Hey, there's one for the youngers: Do kids now even know that we used to buy just two songs at a time?

We still do, they're called singles. You don't get out much do you grandpa?

Negative. I like it 'cause it sounds great. I'm friends with George Fox, but he knows that I don't like country and it doesn't hurt his feelings any. Some of his are folk rock rather than country, and I like them okay too. (Incidentally, when he first started going solo sometimes outside of the band called 'Cochrane', he was fired from the bar that I worked at because he wouldn't play country. He was a hard-core rocker. A couple of years later, I paid him $200 to play all night at my 3rd baseman's cabin for our ball team party.)

 

[Smurf]

Thorogood definately has some good songs.
'Move it on over', 'Summertime blues', 'get a haircut' (my favourite), and 'you talk to much' just to name a few

 

[Janitor]

Nice to know I am not the only old-timer to remember "I'd Love to Change the World" and "Sylvia's Mother."

Anybody remember "Toast and Marmalade for Tea" by Tin Tin around that same time?

Is there an echo in here? :uhh:

 

[Ivan Seeking]

So I have heard that Steppenwolf invented metal. Comments?

 

[Smurf]

You can't 'invent' music.

 

[cronxeh]

sure you can

in·vent Audio pronunciation of "invent" ( P ) Pronunciation Key (n-vnt)
tr.v. in·vent·ed, in·vent·ing, in·vents

1. To produce or contrive (something previously unknown) by the use of ingenuity or imagination.
2. To make up; fabricate: invent a likely excuse.


'by use of ingenuity or imagination' should also be added by 'use of drugs and plants'

 

[Smurf]

'by use of ingenuity or imagination' should also be added by 'use of drugs and plants'

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: true, true.

So.. wait, does that mean that the person invented the music? or the plant?

 

[cronxeh]

Hard to say. Some people (Terence Mckenna) think that first people got their language, creative thinking, etc, from synethesia which resulted from eating psychodelic plants and mushrooms

Talking to SOS2008 reminded me that I should list her theme song here: "Good Girls Don't" by the Knack. :tongue:

 

[Ivan Seeking]

What is your theme song Danger?

That reminds me: A Boy Named Sue.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

 

[Ivan Seeking]

Oh wait, Smurf's theme song is a Boy Named Sue.

 

[Danger]

Oh wait, Smurf's theme song is a Boy Named Sue.

And I guess Artman's would be "Little Willie".
I'll claim 'Zombie Woof' as mine; at least it goes witht the avatar.

[Danger]

I wasn't going to post another of these for a few days, because people are bound to get tired of them, and I was going to post all of them in the 'Thread Killers' thread, but somehow the talk about music made me go for it here.
