New strategy today. I made a playlist of the songs that weren't immediately recognizable to me. 13 songs, just under an hour.
Pip’s Invitation: Child In Time - Deep Purple
I'm sure I heard this before while hanging out in somebody's basement while in high school. The organ solo helped Lou and I up the big hill on 21st.
simey: Planet Queen - T. Rex
I recognized this one when it went to the chorus. Love Bolan.
Don Quixote: Concrete And Clay - Unit 4+2
I recognized this one too about 30 sec. in and now I can't get it out of my head.
MAC_32: This Year's Love - David Gray
He used to get played a lot on the AOR station that I used to listen to at work in the early 2000s. Too bad there aren't stations like that any more. Quality song craft.
Yankee23Fan: Imagine - John Lennon
Never heard of the artist or song. Pretty good, may have a big career.
DrIanMalcolm: Connected - Stereo MC's
ditkaburgers did not have a dance routine for this one.
KarmaPolice: Breakthrough - Atomic Rooster
I always assumed they were more Proggy because of the Carl Palmer connection. This was more mainstream 70s Rock although it did pick up for the keyboard solo near the end.
Andy Dufresne: The Wolf - Mumford & Sons
Enjoyed this quite a bit. I picked a Marcus Mumford the other day in the 2022 song draft so maybe I'm becoming a Mumford finally.
The Dreaded Marco: To Hell With Good Intentions – Mclusky
I must have heard this before on Hoof but wasn't sure. There's a bit of IDLES going on here.
landrys hat: Animal - Def Leppard
Turned it up to listen. Sounds classic and modern at the same time.
rockaction: You Don’t Know Jesus – Mogwai
There's a definite thread from Post-Rock back to to Prog. It's kind of a long thread but this is a long song.
falguy: Alone Again - Gilbert O'Sullivan
Hov34: Take Me Out – Franz Ferdinand
Doug B: Young Turks - Rod Stewart
Made my long list
Just Win Baby: White Wedding - Billy Idol
zamboni: Blue Highway - Billy Idol
There's a shop owner in our neighborhood who does a Billy Idol impersonator act. Nice guy who sets up a great Xmas window display but he's about 5'5". Never seen his bit.
Chaos34: Lord It’s A Feeling (orchestra version) - London Grammar
The hushed opening got lost in traffic noise on Valencia Street. I was struck by how the long-short-long-short meter of the verse owes a lot to Rap music even though the song is nothing like Hip Hop.
AAABatteries: Whiskey In The Jar - The Dubliners
I'm more familiar with the Thin Lizzy version (Metallica's version is just Lizzy turned up to 11) but liked this. I don't listen to a lot of traditional folk.
Oliver Humanzee: Do They Owe Us A Living? - Crass
Icons of DIY Punk. Back in the early 80s, a lot of SF Punks had their logo spray painted on their clothing. Loved the movement but the song sounds kind of dated.
Mrs. Eephus: The Passion Of Lovers - Bauhaus
Wife's song. 10/10. The beat on the twos and threes is kind of interesting.
ditkaburgers: There She Goes - The La's
Daughter's song. 10/10. Pop perfection. Made my long list.
cosjobs: Teacher - Jethro Tull
Recognized the song immediately from hanging out in the Bober's basement during the 70s.
krista4: Fairytale Of New York - The Pogues (feat. Kirsty MacColl)
So this is Christmas and what have you done? Another year over and a new one just begun
