You must be looking at the 23's playlist? I meant the 22's which should be posted sometime today. I suspect you are on "Compliment" which has no collaborations.

Been on another backpacking trip so just getting to this.

I just love this song - very simple and just lovely. The harmonica in it - I didn't really use online reviews or lists to influence my list but I did review some once I was done. This song got some love in some top 10 lists I found - it's that good.

Cowboy Movie

Cowboy Movie

David Crosby · If I Could Only Remember My Name · Song · 1971

open.spotify.com

After Deja Vu, the four all released "solo" albums. I put solo in quotes because they generally guest-starred on each other's (predictably Neil's After the Gold Rush is easily the most solo).

Crosby's was called "If Only I could Remember My Name". He was in a dark place, grieving his girlfriend's death, and getting deep into drugs. But this is a good album, and really emphasizes his unique voice. This song is about some outlaws whose group is torn apart by a woman. It's really about Rita Coolidge, who was dating Stills but left him for a post Joni-Mitchell Nash. Lots of drama, but a decent song.

I had Cowboy Movie and Chicago, which appeared earlier in your list, as a package entry in my 1971 countdown. I'll repost the whole thing now but I wouldn't be surprised if the Stills song shows up later:

60. Cowboy Movie -- David Crosby (from If I Could Only Remember My Name)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TeZS3gpk2aI

61. Change Partners -- Stephen Stills (from Stephen Stills 2)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQLJveyV41k

62. Chicago -- Graham Nash (from Songs for Beginners)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxsQrZsqX0c

CSNY broke up in 1970 for a variety of ego-fueled reasons, including that Stephen Stills and Graham Nash were both in love with Rita Coolidge. While Neil was holed up with his back problems, C, S, and N all got busy with making solo albums that came out in '71 (the prolific Stills had already put one out in '70).

These are the best songs from each of those albums, and in "I can't quit you" fashion, their lyrics all refer to the other members of CSN(Y).

David Crosby's Cowboy Movie is a stinging, rustic tale of cowboys whose bond is broken by an "Indian Girl." It is in fact a thinly veiled metaphor for Coolidge's impact on CSNY. No matter how you want to characterize the imagery, what makes this song stand out is the spectacular lead guitar work of Jerry Garcia (he, Phil Lesh and Mickey Hart from The Grateful Dead were the backing band on this track.)

Stills' Change Partners merges a graceful country rock backing track with lyrics that are again couched in metaphors. "It was about growing up in the south, attending the debutante balls, but Graham likes to refer to it as the Crosby, Stills & Nash theme song, which I suppose it is," Stills said, referring to the regular breakups, reunions and side projects in various combinations that occurred until their final breakup in 2016. Jerry Garcia surfaces again, this time on pedal steel guitar, and Crosby and Nash contribute backing vocals, because they probably knew this song was about them, didn't they, didn't they.

Nash's Chicago was his take on the turbulence of the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago and the subsequent trial of the Chicago Eight (later Seven). "Won't you please come to Chicago just to sing," however, is a refrain aimed at Stills and Young. Nash and Crosby had agreed to play a benefit concert for Chicago Eight defense fund, but Stills and Young did not want to join them, and the song is in part about Nash's attempts to convince them. Jerry Garcia does not appear on the uplifting, gospel-infused studio version, but Rita Coolidge does. And so we come full circle.

1971 also saw the release of the CSNY live album Four Way Street, recorded in 1970 just before their (first) breakup. It includes an anguished piano-ballad version of Chicago that I like better than the studio version.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

I thought for a long time Stone Cold was a Foreigner song.

I only knew that it wasn't because the video was in heavy rotation on MTV and Joe Lynn Turner looks nothing like Lou Gramm. I suspect the similarity was not accidental.

22. Chim-Chim-Cher-Ee

This is the first of six songs from their third album, Act III (1973).

The song itself needs no introduction unless you haven't seen Mary Poppins. Interestingly, this wasn't the first nor the last time this song was covered by another artist; Burl Ives (1964), John Coltrane (1965), Duke Ellington (1965), The New Christy Minstrels (1965) and Louis Armstrong (1968) preceded our version, and Mannheim Steamroller recorded it in 1999. An eclectic collection of artists to be sure.

I never saw them do this one live, and I didn't even know it existed until I started putting my list together. It was fun to hear for the first time ever, and the only thing that would have made it better would have been if they could have gotten their tongues out of their cheeks long enough to have added the lyrics.

Coming up next is one of their 'signature' songs.

• Song: Cotton Seed
• Album: The Dirty South
• Released: 2004
• Lead Vocals: Mike Cooley

I’ll leave it to wiki to cover the three song suite* of which Cottonseed is a part:

"The Dirty South" contains a three song suite ("The Boys From Alabama," "Cottonseed" and "The Buford Stick") about Sheriff Buford Pusser. "The Boys From Alabama" was inspired by the misconceptions and “really bad movies” of the Redneck Mafia and recounts the movie Walking Tall from a "different point of view." Hood felt that telling the story from "the bad guy's" point of view would be more interesting. Cooley's "Cottonseed" tells a story of corruption, crime, killing, greed, fixed elections, guns, drugs, prostitution and alcohol and uses subtle imagery to provide a very negative interpretation of Pusser. Hood's "The Buford Stick" completes the suite by providing examples of the negative effects of Pusser's actions while offering a less glorified view of the mythology surrounding Pusser.

*I am only including one of the songs despite “suite” status making every song eligible (i.e. The Chicago Rule)

#22 Heaven or the Highway Out of Town (off The Bottle and Fresh Horses, 1997)

You spin the wheel and I roll the bones
Never let them think they've got us down
Cause we’re already down, yeah

(Youtube Version) Heaven Or The Highway Out Of Town
(Live Version) Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers - Heaven or The Highway Out of Town - 9/1/2012

This song, like #31’s Good Year, was written by Brian Blush. Really the only two songs written by Blush in the short existence of The Refreshments (US version). Partially because of that, Roger Clyne rarely plays it live. I believe the link above was the first time they’d played it live in around 15 years, though I don’t have the evidence to say that definitively.

Why I Chose It:
Well, first of all, I definitely remember this song getting some radio airplay. It never charted, but was probably the closest thing to a hit off this album. So there’s the possible familiarity factor, rather despite any real support from their record company.

Mostly though, this is a smooth and catchy song. Perhaps a bit by-the-numbers, but done well in all parts for that. For that, I can both see where it caught on (if not as vastly as another song we’ll get to) and why Clyne thinks he’s done better things. That said, even at #22, it’s beating 80-some songs, and rightfully so.

Notes
1- This has been described as the absolute standout on the Profound Mysteries trilogy. It has also been called “Speed King" is the Daft Punk track I've been waiting 17 years to hear”

2- Another review. “Speed King” is the centerpiece here, a nearly 10-minute ambient bed of swelling synths that builds dynamically as it progresses. Due to its length and the diversity of its melodic and sonic ideas, the song serves as the boldest and most memorable composition in the trilogy.

3- Ive read fan reviews of people who were going to travel halfway across Europe just to hear Speed King live.

4- Its a great track, but with a four minute lead in requires patience. I have 5 Profound Mysteries tracks ahead of it. All with female vocals, 3 by 1 artist.

The Little Things Give You Away - YouTube Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube. www.youtube.com

This is a Linkin Park song off their album, Minutes To Midnight, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 chart.

At the end of the Minutes To Midnight recording sessions, Linkin Park invited composer David Campbell to add string arrangements to six songs, including The Little Things Give You Away. David performed the violin, viola, cello, and bass performances on those songs.

Chester Bennington said this about the song:

"It’s an epic song, but it’s also kind of delicate in a lot of ways. There’s a great guitar riff that comes in acoustically, and the words really say a lot. And I think that they’ll touch people in a way Linkin Park haven’t touched people before. And there’s a breakdown that’s my favorite moment on the record. It’s beautiful and timeless-sounding, with this great synth sound … and Brad [Delson] breaks into this beautiful solo and it just builds and builds and builds until it breaks down into this a cappella section. It’s a huge explosion of sound, over six minutes long, and it’s truly, completely amazing. And I can’t wait for people to hear it."

Mike said this:

"Brad has always avoided solos because he doesn’t like to show off. But when he played that solo, though, it was one of the most emotional moments we’ve recorded. It says what the lyrics are saying without any words."

I agree it is an awesome and emotional solo.

The bingos the lottos you know we'll never win those

Talking Heads
#22 Artists Only

The second song from 1978's More Songs About Buildings and Food. I love, love, love this song (and probably have it ranked way too low). Here's Pitchfork on it:

An ode to the creative process, “Artists Only” is built from the kind of instrumental interplay that makes you want to dismantle it just so you can understand the source of its magic and mystery; is it the swirling organ melody, the chiming guitar riff, or the chugging bassline that produces this effect? (Like most things Talking Heads, the magic’s in the combinations.)

I don't have to prove...that I am creative!
I don't' have to prove...that I am creative!
All my pictures are confused
And now I'm going to take me to you.

Pop Singer- John "Cougar" Mellencamp
from Big Daddy Album

Our 2nd and last song from the Big Daddy Album " Pop Singer" was the last top 20 hit for John when he still was using the "Cougar" moniker... reaching #15 on top 100. Mellencamp wrote the song himself, in response to how the music industry was attempting to hide his "real" image, which included adopting one of his previous stage names, Johnny Cougar. "I was questioning the importance of music," he told Rolling Stone. "Everybody was having to kiss everybody's ***. If you want to be on MTV, then come here and do this. All these backroom deals were getting made. I was like, 'I don't want any part of this.'"

Sia - Chronological #22 - The Girl You Lost to Cocaine

Scoresman Rank - #5

Love the instrumentals in this one. My brief writeup today comes from a reddit post I found when researching Sia. Sia's second most iconic breakup song is not technically a deep cut, because it used to rule the club playlists for a while. It's understandable, with the song's light message, instrumental, and lyrics. Her voice runs are describing a person "with a lot on her plate" because of an irresponsible partner. Also, interestingly, it was one of her hardest songs to write (she doesn't know why).

When I selected Neko Case as my artist for this thread I naturally thought that all I'd have to do is pick the 31 songs which showcase her magnificent voice best, and that's that - but a funny thing happened on the way to the forum. First, as I've alluded to, her backing band is stellar and not to be overlooked, Jon Rauhause most of all. I mean I kind of knew this, but diving deep into her catalog really brought it home.

But even better, I discovered some of the best backing vocals on the planet. Three names are worth mentioning: Kelly Hogan, Shelley Short, and especially Rachel Flotard. This round's pick, Yon Ferrets Return, serves as a harbinger for much to follow as it brings the sharp relief.

Also, one more shout out to Rachel Flotard. She fronts (fronted?) a Seattle band named Visqueen. If you've ever wondered what The Bangles would sound like if they came up through the Seattle music scene, have I got some good news. Here are a couple few examples:

Hang on to your hats. I'm claiming Glen Campbell off waivers. I really need to start now. That boy has SIXTY studio albums. I need so much time for this, but there's a ton of stuff. It's also available on Spotify.

Here's a very tiny preview - Walkin' Down the Line by Bob Dylan
That's Cambell on his twelve-string and Roy Clark on banjo.

Would the entire Wrecking Crew have been too limiting for you?

There isn't that much time, dude.

22. Nina Simone, 22nd Century

There is no oxygen in the air
Men and women have lost their hair
Ashen faces, legs that stand
Ghosts and goblins walk in this land

I’m out at a conference…. will just quickly check-in to say this is a cover of a song by the Bahamian musician, Exuma. Nina Simone covered a few of his songs.

Putting 22nd Century right at #22 was a little bit of shtick, but deserving for this spot. Calypso rhythm and a tale of an apocalyptic future is a bit of a strange bedfellow, but it worked for me here.

This was not on the original Here Comes the Sun album when it was released in 1971, but was an outtake included in a subsequent release.

 

[Eephus]

Talking Heads
#22 Artists Only

The second song from 1978's More Songs About Buildings and Food. I love, love, love this song (and probably have it ranked way too low). Here's Pitchfork on it:

An ode to the creative process, “Artists Only” is built from the kind of instrumental interplay that makes you want to dismantle it just so you can understand the source of its magic and mystery; is it the swirling organ melody, the chiming guitar riff, or the chugging bassline that produces this effect? (Like most things Talking Heads, the magic’s in the combinations.)

I don't have to prove...that I am creative!
I don't' have to prove...that I am creative!
All my pictures are confused
And now I'm going to take me to you.

This song was in my Global 31

 

[Mt. Man]

Selected favorites from the #22s. I figured because 22 is twice 11, that I should throw out 11 songs in the main two categories (plus giving a little more <3 in the 3rd). Also I had to make some tough calls already, so more wiggle room was better. We’ll see if this lasts in future playlists.
–
Familiar songs:
The Most Beautiful Girl in the World - Prince
Cheeseburger in Paradise - Jimmy Buffett
End of the Line - Travelling Wilburys (/Tom Petty)
Teach Your Children - CSNY. Probably Top 5 for me, but obviously they’ve enough great song that it depends on mood.
Perfect Day - Collective Soul

New discoveries:
Reggae - Black Midi
If You Wanna Get Back Your Lady - The Pointer Sisters
Where’s Summer B.? - Ben Folds [Five]
Stripsearch - Faith No More
Our Last Night - Los Lobos
Judas My Heart - Belly (/Tanya Donelly)

Shuffle Adventures
Mastodon to The Jam to John Mellencamp actually flowed incredibly well. It helped that I liked all three songs, too. Probably my favorite Mastodon so far. The song by The Jam was new to me also, with Mellencamp’s being (well-)known.

I feel like I'm struggling from new music burnout . Listened to about 1/3 of the 23s while doing some yard work yesterday but wasn't a lot that I loved. Will try and finish that one off today, just in time for the 21's to make an appearance.

[rockaction]

Americans Abroad- Rise Against- Ok im starting to REALLY dig these guys, cant believe I missed the boat on them

Rise Against and Against Me! are two very different entities, by the way. You had me looking back through wondering who had picked Rise Against.

It's cool that you listen, though. Don't let this be perceived as a negative. Just took me fifteen minutes to find the 26s and then figure it out.

Appears - The Hurting LP
Year - 1983
UK Highest Chart Position - Non Single
US Highest Chart Position -Non Single
Key Lyric - Say what you want
Say what you will
Cause I find you think what makes it easier

Notes
1- Like the rest of the songs on The Hurting, this track was influenced by the work of Arthur Janov, an American psychotherapist who studied repressed childhood trauma and developed primal scream therapy. The duo's Roland Orzabal, who also sings lead on the song, borrowed the title from a chapter heading in Janov's 1980 book Prisoners of Pain. He explained in the remastered album's (1999) liner notes: "That's the chapter from Janov, and it's really a reference to people's mindsets, the way that the ego can suppress so much nasty information about oneself - the gentle way that the mind can fool oneself into thinking everything is great."

Bandmate Curt Smith added: "It really was all about that kind of thing - the psychological answer to religion being the opiate of the masses, whereas we thought ideas were, more than anything else."

2- This was used in the 2006 comedy-drama Starter For 10, starring James McAvoy. It was also featured on the TV series The Americans in the 2018 episode "Rififi."

3- The title of the song refers to “The Communist Manifesto” by Marx & Engels, paraphrasing, “Religion is the Opiate of the Masses.” It reflects on the way religion, and other personal beliefs, can get in the way of seeing the truth.

4- The song that supplied the B-side to Mad World was also one of the album’s most challenging tracks and was named after a chapter in Arthur Janov’s Prisoners Of Pain, published in 1980, 10 years after his seminal The Primal Scream. “Now, who the hell would write a song called that?” Orzabal laughs, before recalling how it baffled John Peel’s engineers. “It contains different chords – a major third and a minor third together – so we played them and the engineer stopped the tape. ‘You’ve made a mistake!’ he said. ‘No,’ I said, ‘that’s how it goes.’”

Next up we get real obscure. I would be surprised if anyone else had heard this song. Its a very early b side.

I feel like I'm struggling from new music burnout . Listened to about 1/3 of the 23s while doing some yard work yesterday but wasn't a lot that I loved. Will try and finish that one off today, just in time for the 21's to make an appearance.

The one downside to this is your music listening gets dominated and is almost entirely trying to keep up with the playlists. I’m still enjoying them but sometimes I want to catch up with old friends a bit.

Teach Your Children

Teach Your Children

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young · Deja Vu · Song · 1970

open.spotify.com

This is one of Nash's songs that probably contributed to his Hollies departure - he wrote it when he was with them, and he was definitely frustrated his songs could not get recorded. It's not my favorite CSNY (this and another one by him are probably the "lightest" songs in their catalog), but it was a big hit, and helped the Deja Vu album skyrocket. Fun fact - Jerry Garcia is on the steel pedal guitar here. And there is no "Y" in this song. Who knows what Neil was up to that day.

Heh. Still don't get it.

Either binky wrote a poem that's going to be published or he thinks that a poem is a story in his world.

Still have no idea why he's psyched (other than a published poem). Color me confused.

21. Rider

This is the second of six songs from the Act III album.

I have to get this out of the way up front: this song is also known by several other titles--I Know You Rider, Woman Blues and I Know My Rider, and traces back to an even older title, Deceitful Brownskin Blues, by blues/gospel man Blind Lemon Jefferson. The song is written from the perspective of a young African American woman in jail for murder.

"Cultural appropriation" aside, this has always been my favorite Seldom Scene song. I love the tempo, the energy, the lyrics, the emotions it conveys to me, which ironically is a mix of optimism, comfort, joy.

Time for the third spotlight: Bassist Tom Gray (2nd from the left in my avatar, white shirt, blue pants).

Adept at multiple instruments, Gray ultimately gravitated to the bass fiddle and found success, joining Duffey's original group, The Country Gentlemen, in 1960, but left the band just a few years later in order to find more gainful employment as a cartographer for National Geographic to support his young family. Like the rest of the band, bluegrass remained a passion and he eventually fell in with his future band mates in the aforementioned jam sessions. He stayed with the band from their founding in 1971 until 1986, when he left to pursue other opportunities. Like his other bandmates, he was plenty busy lending his talents to other bands during his run with the 'Scene.

On stage, Tom stayed in the background, driving the beat while the others took their turns soloing. He got his own chance in a few songs, but the stand-up bass isn't the easiest instrument to solo on. Nevertheless, his opening riff and solo on Rider is definitely a highlight for me.

*Spoiler alert: Fair or not, this song will appear again on my list. I have my reasons; you just have to trust me.

Up next, something 'original.'

Notes
1- This track is so out there and features an out there video, but its a whole lot of fun

2- From wiki. Sayit", an electro-punk and house song, features a "lustful" conversation between Robyn and a Speak & Spell toy over a "glitchy" techno beat.

3- Berge described the song as "a bit of an homage to the good old days of clubbing", and cited it as "the dirtiest song on the record, both in terms of production and concept."
