(OFFICIAL) *****70's Music Draft***** LOD UP

[nzoner 937]

 

ONLY bands not represented and songs I was thinking

 

 

Montrose-Rock candy Great song, and I thought about it, but I was more leaning to Space Station #5...Can't go wrong either way

 

Hank JR-Family Tradition That was going to be my last pick, but I had to do a homer pick with Gen X

 

Pat Travers band-Boom Boom Out Go The Lights Also was in my thoughts...That and Snorting Whisky, Drinking Cocaine

 

Ace Frehley-Back In The New York Groove I was an official member of the KISS Army and Ace was my man. That being said, I hated that damn song. Rip it Out and Snowblind were my favorites from his solo effort

 

 

Snortin Whiskey was 1980

[nzoner 937]

probably my biggest regret not taking,talk about a classic rocker,yes it has some yodeling but man

 

 

 

 

[The Elevator Killer 522]

Also HT has some stuff I totally missed that made me say, "How did I forget that." Nice list man

[SUXBNME 1,467]

Yes. I wanted it, but someone beat me to it. I think anyway

Skids took it.

 

Doesn't matter. My Zep pick was the bestest. (If there is such a thing of picking the best Zeppelin song)

Anything pre In Through the Out Door was amazing

[SUXBNME 1,467]

Snortin Whiskey was 1980

Well, It's not like I already tried to pick a song not in the 70s, now is it?

 

 

[SUXBNME 1,467]

probably my biggest regret not taking,talk about a classic rocker,yes it has some yodeling but man

 

 

 

 

Totally forgot about this amazing song. The guitar was shredded upon

[nzoner 937]

[Hardcore troubadour 15,145]

Also HT has some stuff I totally missed that made me say, "How did I forget that." Nice list man

Thanks. I could have gone for a while. Love the 60's and 70's. I'm a firm believer that if you have a few older siblings or young parents your scope of music is greater than most.

[Hardcore troubadour 15,145]

I took CMTB. Gimme three steps is another good one though

Nice. Love the big band sound of CMTB. Lots of horns and guitars.

[nzoner 937]

Totally forgot about this amazing song. The guitar was shredded upon

I'll stop after this I just hope i get some props for best obscure because I picked a song everyone knew but as far as i could tell no one had heard this bad ass version

 

[The Elevator Killer 522]

I can't find the post, but nzoner talking about KISS. I was into KISS early. Stuff like Strutter and Deuce. Some of their biggest hits not picked. I had them down, but it seems I'm missing one of my research lists or my list would have been even longer. I am because I didn't list Jim Croce. Like Jimmy Buffett sang don't knock a Kiss concert if you've never seen it, you may just find out that your wrong. Or something like that.

[The Elevator Killer 522]

I'll stop after this I just hope i get some props for best obscure because I picked a song everyone knew but as far as i could tell no one had heard this bad ass version

I just listened to it and can honestly say that I've never heard that version before.

I can also honestly say that I like their version a lot better than the original (And I like and respect the original)

 

Ever heard Five Finger Death Punches version of it?

(actual song starts at at 1:45 in.) Changed lyrycs, but they rocked it up pretty good, too

20.14 - Roads To Moscow - Al Stewart

I am a geek. Two of my favorite fields of geekdom are music and history. Al Stewart does both. He is best known for two minor hits, Year of the Cat, and Time Passages. After several albums of a folky variety (as an aside, check out Once An Orange, Always An Orange for some badass acoustic guitar work) he did an album called Past, Present & Future.

It was a weird concept album. Each song on the album deals with a different decade of the 20th century, and the album finishes with an ode to Nosturdamus.

This is my favorite song of his. It is the story of a russian soldier in the red army, who is there when the Germans invade in operation Barbarossa, is driven back through the Ukraine, to the gates of Moscow in Operation Typhoon, to Stalingrad, Operation Bagration, and the fall of Berlin. Ultimately, the war won, he looks forward to finally returning home... but the NKVD has other plans, and he is off to the gulag.

And I wonder when I'll be home again,

and the morning answers never.

And the evening sighs,

And the steely Russian skies

go on forever.

An eight minute history lesson of the eastern with great lyrics and beautiful guitar work.

This is the kind of wonderfully weird stuff that simply doesn't get made anymore.

Anyway, hope you give it a listen and enjoy.

 

 

I'm an Al Stewart fan and probably even have this song on one of the 5 albums I have, but I don't know it. Bravo on nailing obscurity.!

[Big Guy 1,412]

I used to park on Apollo Beach and get stoned and listen to the Running on Empty 8 track and I Robot by The Alan Parsons Project. I miss those days.

 

 

I hear you, the late 70's were interesting. Love Alan Parsons, great album too btw.
