256.8 or 12 - Drive-By Truckers - Ronnie and Neil  (Concept Concept)

The DBT's Southern Rock Opera is a rock opera about Southern Rock. Like a lot of concept albums, it's more song cycle than operatic libretto, covering the duality of the Southern thing while growing up in Alabama during the age of George Wallace, Bear Bryant and Ronnie Van Zandt.

"Ronnie and Neil" is part of the album's prologue.

Now Ronnie and Neil became good friends their feud was just in song
Skynyrd was a bunch of Neil Young fans and Neil he loved that song
So he wrote "Powderfinger" for Skynyrd to record
But Ronnie ended up singing "Sweet Home Alabama" to the Lord

And Neil helped carry Ronnie in his casket to the ground
And to my way of thinking, us Southern men need both of them around

Ronnie and Neil Ronnie and Neil
Rock stars today ain't half as real
Speaking their minds on how they feel
Let them guitars blast for Ronnie and Neil

 

[Dr. Octopus]

I did not know this existed. 

Elton John and Leon Russell did an album together in 2010. I like most of it but this song was my favorite.

Glad I didn’t save it for you then.

Or you could have him comment on the Rush picks.

Or you could have him comment on the Rush picks. 

Every time a Rush pick is made, I remember when he said that the Rush documentary made him angry because it caused him to like Rush as people.

Glad I didn’t save it for you then.

I was aware they did an album and I even saw them perform stuff from it on SNL. But I never caught wind that Neil had anything to do with it. I wasn't visiting any Neil forums, nor doing much in the way of keeping up with any of the music industry around then.

Bonus - Clique - ??? (feat Kanye West, Jay-Z,  Big Sean) - featuring?

...in case it's not clear, I have no idea who this song is officially credited to, but I like it. 

I think it's off of the G.O.O.D. Music album which was a showcase for Kanye's signed rappers. Nice pick, IMO.

FALLING LEAVES

255.YM - Autumn Almanac - The Kinks

Breeze blows leaves of a musty-coloured yellow
So I sweep them in my sack
Yes, yes, yes, it's my autumn almanac

FALLING LEAVES

256.YM - My Cosmic Autumn Rebellion - The Flaming Lips

They tell us autumn's a comin' and soon everything around us will die
Only a fool believes that he is different from the birds in the sky
All those birds go chasin' some better sunny days
You can't hear them singing 'cause they've all gone away

I accidentally went in Tim's 1981 thread and holy ####, I'm going to find a new way to get banned, aren't I?!

I made two comments trying to reel it in a bit. I'll say that. One of them was a "Hey guys" disguised as a Go-Go's comment, the other was just a "hey...ease up a lil'."

Let Floppo do his thing. That'll end it.

I  @El Floppo. Need to lure him in here. I've lost patience for tim and wikkid and I should skip those threads.

Different strokes etc...

Flop's great.  Ah, I see your lament. I was more talking about the spotlighting argument detour it took, but in a nod to different strokes, different things and different people and all that...I'll refrain from comment.

As am I.  What the Sam Hill are you talking about?  I couldn't see anything there that was that awful.

Tim is great. Those lists can be fantastic methods for reflection and discussion, regardless of whether I agree with the choices...which I usually dont. I don't tend to get involved in most, because I know most of both will be about times/things I don't have a connection with...but 1981 was a giant year for my own personal musical growth and discovery, so it felt personal.

When he started the thread, I started my own hastily culled playlist of tunes that I loved at the time or found later. I didn't really know what reggae was until 82 and I've only grown to genuinely like punk as an adult...but post and new wave were my thing, as was newly discovered college radio and thumbing through bins at different record stores for bands heard there or just covers and arrangements that looked interesting.

Not much if any thought went into it and it would take me a lot of time and energy to sort the tunes into even a subjectively ranked list, let alone the quasi objective thing Tim seems to try with these. I give him full credit and respect for doing it. And I'm sure some of my tunes might be off a year.

Here's the 1981 playlist, if interested.

And I still have no idea what's going on here. I honestly thought it was schtick.
