[cosjobs]

Jethro Tull Aqualung

 

[cosjobs]

Traffic Low Spark of High Heeled Boys

 

[Northern Voice]

I'm going to keep playing this straight - I know there are more "impressive" songs I could be taking here and I know I'm probably only fighting with a couple other people for this song but it's probably the second most inevitable pick on this entire list for me.

If you know me and you know my taste in music, you know how much I love this band and this is their most deserving song to be on this list, even if I really wish people would listen to their albums beyond their debut a whole lot more. For that reason, I'd rather the choice here be "Reptilia" or "You Only Live Once" or even "Machu Picchu".. those are not the choices though and this is...

A song that played a big part of bringing rock/indie rock back to the forefront in the early-aughts, a hit that made it's way to the night club in my prime years for "Rock and Roll Saturdays". A band that more than earned its place among the rock greats of the last 20 years.

9.18 - Last Nite - The Strokes (#155)

Traffic Low Spark of High Heeled Boys

JFC, how can you have this list without Traffic? Without Steve Winwood at all? Not even Gimme Some Lovin'?

 

[Ilov80s]

reaction.

Cash rules everything around me 

 

[timschochet]

1. Gazpacho

2. Judy Garland “Over the Rainbow” 

 

[Ilov80s]

So much good Winwood available. He kind of gets lost in the mix but he's put out so much good music and was immensely talented. 

 

[krista4]

Man, some of you like some awful soups.  Then again, I don't like most soups.

But this one - tonight's soup/stew - it is delicious!  Yay, me.

 

[Binky The Doormat]

just off the top of my head - there are no songs from:

Deep Purple

Yes

Squeeze

Stranglers

Steve Miller Band

REO Speedwagon (Ridin' the Storm Out ...the rest is gross)

Robin Trower - Bridge of Sighs

Devo

Zappa

Ozzy

Todd

[Pip's Invitation]

So much good Winwood available. He kind of gets lost in the mix but he's put out so much good music and was immensely talented. 

And Traffic, in keeping with tonight's theme, even had a song called Rock and Roll Stew (albeit not written or sung by Winwood).

 

[Northern Voice]

My favorite was John Barleycorn Must Die. the whole album

 

[Ilov80s]

My favorite was John Barleycorn Must Die. the whole album

Same but that is likely just because it was the only Traffic album my dad had. 

 

[Eephus]

The RS list includes lots of Detroit and Memphis Soul with a little Chicago thrown in.  But unless I'm missing something, Philly Soul is absent entirely.

I'll order Cioppino with

The O'Jays - Back Stabbers as my entree.

Dr Hook and the Medicine Show Cover of the Rolling Stone

skip me, please. This is out of courtesy to krista4

[Binky The Doormat]

Roll with the Changes down?

meh - it doesn't rock like the other - so much promise at the beginning - then they went the later Chicago ####ballad route

 

[krista4]

skip me, please. This is out of courtesy to krista4

Oh no!  You don't have to do that.

They smile in your face

All the time they wanna take your place

The back stabbers!(back stabbers)

9.19 - The Revolution Will Not Be Televised (258) - Gil Scott-Heron - 1971

I feel a kinship with a former sober radical who spent his last days looking around for crack hits, butane torch in hand. Strange bedfellows, indeed.

The link is to a live version. It has no bass line. But that version is widely available. Actually, here is the studio version.

[Binky The Doormat]

no Townshend, no Genesis, no Sting (don't care - love a lot of his stuff)

Love it and hoped to get it, but didn't expect to.

My pick forthcoming!

 

[rockaction]

Oh no!  You don't have to do that.

I just picked, k4. I couldn't decide and felt stupid taking the song I took, but there it is. I love "Whitey On The Moon." It shows a hurt, a consciousness, a biting sense of humor. "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" also shows that, and I love the bass line to it.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Philly Soul is absent entirely.

Unless you count Hall & Oates (which I don't because they weren't a Philadelphia International artist), then I think you're right. 

 

[krista4]

9.20  Otis Redding - Try a Little Tenderness  (#136)

Going slightly off my strategy by taking from a category that only has two Angry Reds, but also only has two Happy Greens.  Given that, getting one of my favorite songs from my favorite vocalist seems like a good deal.

Young girls they do get woolly.

Who also wrote one of the best songs about addiction (The Bottle).
