Oh, the visions that title engenders! Quick, get your pretty avatar back up so I won't be associating them with a bug!

Okay, what's this 'Coven' ****? One Tin Soldier was written and originally performed for the Billy Jack soundtrack by Dixie Lee Stone and the Original Caste. Dixie Lee was one of the kid performers on a kid show in Calgary called Safety Roundup when I was even more of a kid. The band didn't last too long, but this was their serious biggie.

Wow, I didn't know that. I still have the 45 by Coven, which was the popular release. I always thought that this was from the original soundtrack. Funny...I've even seen the movie since its original release, and I would think the difference would be obvious. :confused:

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

Okay, we were both right and wrong. I'm still having trouble getting used to being able to just Google something, but I did it in this case to see what the hey was going on. Coven did indeed perform the version used in the movie, and released it as a single, but it was a remake of the Original Caste's hit. I must have heard the 2 far enough apart to not notice the difference. I still have a hell of a time telling Smashmouth's version of I'm a Believer from the Monkees.
Speaking of which, the aforementioned & Last Train To Clarksville, and Pleasant Valley Sunday by the Monkees
You Are My Number One and Walking on the Sun by Smashmouth
Blister In the Sun by Violent Femmes (loved Grosse Point Blank)
Angel by Shaggy
Weird for an atheist to say, but 2 of my favourites are Like a Prayer by Madonna and Living on a Prayer by Bon Jovi. :redface:

Funny, has anyone mentioned a single song by Framton? The Framton Comes Alive album was absolutely huge for a time.

We Gotta Get Out of this Place by Eric Burdon (w/ or w/o Animals?)
Thick as a Brick by Tull
Despite the way people like to characterize her, Shania Twain is rock, not cowboy ****, and I really like 'Up'.
(I also like everything by the Go-Go's. :redface:)
This one should be here just because it has the longest title for a song (or did in the 1974 Guiness book): "I'm a Cranky Old Yank in a Clanky Old Tank on the Streets of Yokahama With My Honalulu Mama Doin' Those Beat-O Beat-O Flat on My Seat-O Hirohito Blues" by Hoagy Carmichael. I'd like to know how they fit that on the label. :biggrin:

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).

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

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.)

Thorogood definitely 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

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?

So I have heard that Steppenwolf invented metal. Comments?

You can't 'invent' music.
 
  • #88
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'

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

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
