Rounds 24 and 25 Make-up picks - both British Invasion selections

Round 24 - The Spencer Davis Group - I'm A Man

I know this one more from being covered by Chicago than The Spencer a Davis Group.  Still going to pick it though.  January 1967 release.

Round 25 - The Rolling Stones - Time Is On My Side

Their first U.S. top ten hit, since my favorite song from them (Sympathy) does not qualify for this category.  September 1964 release.

Reposting my Round 24/25 picks.  Will make up the other rounds tomorrow - the combo of a very long 8A-8P work week plus the lovely 90 minute commute each way on NJTransit (albeit only for three days), with a seven-hour interview today for a potential role at a new firm has taken me offFFAline for a good part of the week as I was game planning for the later.

You say you've got to go home
'Cos he's sitting on his own again this evening
And I know you're gonna let him bore your pants off again
Oh now it's half past eight, you'll be late
Oh, but you say you're not sure
Though it makes good sense for you to live together
Still you bought a toy that can reach the places he never goes
And now it's getting late, he's so straight

 
'Cause over there, there's broken bones
There's only music so that there's new ringtones
And it don't take no Sherlock Holmes
To see it's a little different around here
Don't get me wrong though, there's boys in bands
And kids who like to scrap with pool cues in their hands
And just 'cause he's had a couple of cans
He thinks it's alright to act like a ########

 
Why are the two best rock lyricists of the past 30 years both from Sheffield, England?   Before you answer, my wife is from there as well...

Laughed out loud. I don't hate Rush. I admire the musicianship. I can tolerate the dorky songwriting as long as the talent delivers. I actually manage to love a few of their instrumentals. Geddy is just such riot grrrl. it's those vocals, man. No can do.

Coheed & Cambria might be fronted by Geddy's long lost effeminate son and they're completely unlistenable to me for the same reason.

So, so, good. Mick Hucknall is silk. Glad this is in the category :thumbup:

With his voice I'm a little surprised they were basically a one hit wonder. At the very least Hucknall could have went the (much later) Rod Stewart route and crooned standards I think.

Had no idea. Makes a ton of sense. Was it recently or a while back?

He has two solo albums. One in 2008 that's a tribute to Bobby Bland and one in 2012 that's American Soul covers. His cover of Otis' That's How Strong My Love Is charted in the U.K.  

If following the Rod Stewart curve, he should be onto a Gershwin or Cole Porter (he did a song for that Kevin Kline Porter biopic) in a few years. 

Apropos of nothing, he's one of my favorite random guys to see in the Manchester United owners box for games.

Not only did they have multiple U.S. Hot 100 hits ... they had multiple #1s. You picked their most memorable tune, IMHO.

Simply Red was well-received in the U.S. but positively gigantic in the U.K. All of their albums hit the UK Top Ten, with several #1s in the 1990s.

For an upcoming sales meeting, I'm supposed to fill in a survey and one question is "What is your favourite celebration/dancing song" They put them together and make up a playlist for the gala dinner. I could play it straight and pick a favourite song, pick a current party song since it might skew a bit older in terms of responses, or I could go pure shtick - but something that still gets people to the dance floor. Basically this post is looking for shtick suggestions.
