really wanted to take something from these guys but couldnt make it work

that run of sap/dirt/jar of flies was redonkulous

facelift was a great debut but the jump they made after it  was incredible.
Dirt is my favorite AIC album but my favorite AIC song comes off Facelift. We Die Young still blows me away all these years later. Many times it is the song I use to kick off my workouts.

These two were tough to pick.  Not much great that meets my theme.  Wish I could take more from 09.  Oh well.. this is solid jukefiller, lift your glasses to a dead guy we already forgot about.

And this is about as obscure as it gets but I'd play it in a bar, assuming any bar had it  :shrug:  The video's.. something I guess

Wow, interesting. Had no idea.
RJD had quite a different music career before Rainbow/Sabbath/solo. From wiki:

Dio's musical career began in 1957 when several Cortland, New York musicians formed the band, The Vegas Kings. The group's lineup consisted of Dio on bass guitar, Billy DeWolfe on lead vocals, Nick Pantas on guitar, Tom Rogers on drums, and Jack Musci on saxophone.

In 1958, the band again changed their name from Ronnie & The Rumblers to Ronnie and the Redcaps. Musci left the band in 1960, and a new guitarist, **** Botoff, joined the lineup. The Redcaps released two singles: The first single was "Conquest"/"Lover" with the A-side being an instrumental reminiscent of The Ventures and the B-side featuring DeWolfe on lead vocals. The second single was "An Angel Is Missing"/"What'd I Say" which featured Dio on lead vocals for both tracks.

Explanations vary for how Padavona adopted the stage name "Dio". One story is that Dio was a reference to mafia member Johnny Dio.[9] Another has it that Padavona's grandmother said he had a gift from God and should be called "Dio". ("God" in Italian.) Whatever the inspiration, Padavona first used it on a recording in 1960, when he added it to the band's second release on Seneca. Soon after that the band modified their name to Ronnie Dio and the Prophets. The Prophets lineup lasted for several years, touring throughout the New York region and playing college fraternity parties. They produced one single for Atlantic[10] and one album. Some of the singles (such as "Mr. Misery", released on Swan) were labeled as being by Ronnie Dio as a solo artist even if the rest of the Prophets contributed to the recording. The group released several singles during the following years, until early 1967. Dio continued to use his birth name on any songwriting credits on those releases.

In late 1967 Ronnie Dio and the Prophets transformed into a new band called The Electric Elves and added a keyboard player. Following recovery from a deadly car accident in February 1968 (which killed guitarist Nick Pantas and put Dio and other band members in the hospital briefly), the group shortened its name to The Elves and used that name until mid 1972 when it released its first proper album under the name Elf. Over the next few years, the group went on to become a regular opening act for Deep Purple. Elf recorded three albums until the members' involvement recording the first Rainbow album in early 1975 resulted in Elf disbanding.

17.xx  The Church - You Took (1982)

These guys are not underrated but are definitely underappreciated workhorses.  They've released 20+ albums of good to great music since 1981.  This is a classic from, arguably, their best album, The Blurred Crusade.  It never got much radio exposure (nothing from this album did) but is still a staple in their live shows.
Acer---here's my pick you're missing from your master list.  Thanks.

 
26.a       Pure Prairie League, "Falling In And Out of Love/Amie" (1972)

These two songs are often combined by radio, and "Amie" ends with a callback coda to "Falling In And Out of Love" anyway, so I'll join them here.  "Falling" is a beautiful acoustic guitar-and-vocal number that begins with a haunting, almost dissonant fingerpicked riff before four-part harmonies quite reminiscent of the Eagles (common or mutual influences at work, as the Eagles were just starting at the same time?) come in. The lonely guitar returns briefly before "Amie" begins with a completely contrasted upbeat doubled guitar part.  Little blues riffs punctuate the country-accentuated lyrics of the verses, and then the chorus is back for the recitation of the song title.  I like how all three guitar parts get more intricate as the song moves forward, and the falsetto/head voice wailing near the end is a treat.  The coda is really nice too and blends perfectly. 

26.b       Uncle Kracker, "In A Little While" (2002)

My last pick (sorry if it's a bit early; I just finished two filings after an all-nighter and must retire) is this little number from 2002 which features a bright, jangly guitar part over some muted electric piano and a fairly busy but not prominent bass line.  I like how Uncle Kracker starts off each verse with a raspy and bluesy croon in the very lowest part of the range where most modern male singers dwell these days, then gradually gets higher and more earnest in his syncopated lines as tension builds to the chorus.  There's a nifty harmony vocal behind the last lines of the second and third verses - why don't more songs have third verses?  They're almost always good - and it's really effective on the plaintive lyrics "And there's a place that I find someday/But sometimes I feel like it's slippin' away" and "I just wonder, wonder if you think about me".  As a bonus, I now have two "in a while"-themed songs back-to-back in my chronology.  That's all, folks!

These are always fun as hell.  I wanted to play,but since I can't see this from work, it makes it difficult.  So for the most part I've just been giving Mrs. R suggestions.  However, just for laughs, I'm preparing a little something for you guys.  Something "different"...

I wonder if there are any mulligans until, say, Monday

Val Rannous!  Good to see ya buddy :thumbup:

Many many many thanks to eephus for conceiving and hosting this and to Acer for the sheet, and to all of you for participating, drafting great stuff, and commenting.  I fully agree with eeph that this should be an annual event, with drafters unable to pick the same songs.  We could add 2016 next year and drop 1966 off to keep it at 50 years.  Anyhoo.  This was a complete blast, and I'm so glad I jumped in at the last minute.  Thanks all!   Laterz

 
If anyone does not intend to take any mulligans, let me know and I will consider your bar this weekend's premiere installment of my upcoming web series Posters in [Imaginary] Bars Drinking Cocktails, a fictitious review of your bar and its jukebox in a mock-interview format.
