The Return of the Desert Island Jukebox Draft - Drop in a quarter (1 Viewer)

Mrs. R taking a George Michael song got me scared, since he is all I have written down for 1987.  

Grab your favorite lady or gent, and let's slow dance.

13.02  George Michael - One More Try (1987 year of album release is where I'm taking it)

I'm going to skip the b-side on this one as I think the (anti-)domestic violence theme is too heavy for my jukebox.

Michael was 23 when he recorded this song.  23!!!!  I'll put it up there with the Harry Nilsson record as a purely amazing vocal performance.

Michael collaborated with Paul on their duet, "Heal the Pain," which you'll see show up on my post-Beatles Beatles countdown.  They also performed a version of "Drive My Car" together at one of the Live Aid shows.  Not a collaboration, but I'll also note that George Harrison attended a party for George Michael to celebrate the success of this album, Faith.

Not that it matters but I like the am/pm split so people don't just hit it and quit it in the morning

Round 13 - Trouble Man, Marvin Gaye (1972)

Took Frankenstein earlier today, putting that in 1972, now taking Trouble Man from the same year. Did i did it OK, freeplay-wise? 

#1, this is the song between Gaye's masterwork and his sexytime records and puts the "haw" in haunting. #2, this is the closest music will ever come to replicating a long, clean rip of quality cocaine

13.04: Dancing In The Moonlight - King Harvest (1972) 

nice handful of choices here ...like them all - none wayyyy more than the others, so it's another tough choice

thought this was Van Morrison for a long time.  

I was 14 ...this song was big when we were getting quarts of 3.2% beer, Little Kings cream ale, Boone's Farm and skank weed.  Takes me to summers at night outside and chasin' girls.

You'd need to put the other one in '73 to take this here.  We're not in the free play yet and don't know the year eligible, either.

I thought that was van Morrison until like a year ago. I had a female roommate in college whose room was directly above my room and she played this song on a loop for days. I didn't mind it because it was my favorite van Morrison song

 
13.08 - Roll Me Away b/w Boomtown Blues - Bob Seger (1982)

Since we're stuck with Rutgers now, Springsteen, Mellencamp and Seger were the biggest and best rock stars of the 70s and 80s in Big Ten country.  Seger was five years older than the Boss and had an early career head start but their careers both took off in 1975.

There was a poll on this board a while back that paired the two.  The vote was surprisingly close.  Seger has the superior pipes of the two; his tenor voice is a more expressive instrument.  Springsteen is a stronger songwriter and mythmaker.  

Roll Me Away is a Seger anthem that sounds a lot like Springsteen's Jungleland in large part to Professor Roy Bittan on the piano.  The B-side Boomtown Blues is hard driving rocker with a sax solo.

13.14 Parliament - Give Up the Funk (Tear the Roof off the Sucker)

1975

Intro, Mid-70s funk classic. Bootsy on bass, Clinton on vocals, a bunch of other dudes on....something. song is kind of self explanatory, but basically funk is wanted.  Nay, it's needed. And the roof is unnecessary. There's so much rhythm going on the roof is rendered not only useless, but it's become irksome and it needs removed. horns, bass, party, etc...

Trying to figure out who played what on a P-Funk record is like snipe hunting. So is trying to figure out who WROTE what on a P-Funk album, as lawsuits attest. 

ETA: The great bass singing at the beginning of this track is Ray Davis, there's no question about that.
