Thin_Lizzy Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I found this old track from Golden Earling recently. I used to listened to it all the time as a kid. A great rock song that's been lost in time. What's your forgotten rock song? [YOUTUBE] [/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoConMan Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I forgot.... Yeah, jeez, it's cool when those little jewels raise their head up again. Here's a band that seems to be a well-kept secret nowdays - The Babys. - Midnight Rendezvous. This is the original track - audio only. [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bd5-dLog41A[/YOUTUBE] Classic Rock Radio plays the hell out of just a couple of Kansas songs. Here's one that popped up the other day that I hadn't heard in years - Fight Fire With Fire. I remember when it came out - great guitar work and I liked the vocals - even with the synth stuff.

Californiaman Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 You that one song from that band with the guy who wasn't going out on tour but changed his mind. They did that one song that went, "Da da da da da da du dah. " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoConMan Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I guess they didn't get far with that name. Yeah, they were knee-deep in all the British Glam bullsh!t with David Bowie and Queen, trying to get noticed. They were a good rock band. Their music was good, and their live shows were good. I always liked the guitar work. They were probably bigger in the UK than in the States, but they were all over the radio here in the late 70's. The singer Jon Waite went on to a few other decent bands after some solo success of the Pop variety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milod Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 About anything by Chuck Berry... other than Johnny B Goode has kinda gotten forgotten. The Platters and dowop, both "black" and "white" versions, make great solo guitar pieces. There were a lot of one-hit "wonders" and such. Too much for success for some good outfits in the 1960s. "The Barbarians" were an example. Howcomefor nobody mentioned Sam the Sham and the Pharoahs or even Paul Revere and the Raiders who were a real band that got on TV 'stedda a TV-made group? PR's "Just like me" has gotta be a classic, but it seems only a few old people <grin> remember it today. I kinda liked either folk rock or real blues at the time. But to play for money... well, it was interesting. Sometimes either worked, sometimes it didn't. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruznolfart Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 When, in 1958, my family first returned from 3 years in the Panama Canal Zone, these are some that I remember that were very hot at the time. Phil Spector was in one group in his life. The Teddy Bears. He wrote this song. He plays guitar in the vid. Chuck Willis - C.C. Rider http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJ_zyYESTeo Eddie Cochran - Summertime Blues http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAdZ4ZgH7Tk The Coasters - Yakety Yak, Don't talk Back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milod Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Bow... Remember Woolie Bullie? Hell, I likely could retire if I had a cupla bucks for every time I played the thing.

milod Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 There were a lotta bands that did odd stuff for one reason or another. I got the impression Sam the Sham did his thing with the outfit, etc., because he was old compared to most playing "rock" at the time and the oddity of apparel kinda covered up for that. At some point - personal opinion is that it was strongly influenced by drug use - the "dress up to play music" thing pretty well got lost in the "rock" crowd in the mid 60s. The folkie crowd already had lost it in the 50s some time. The R&B and Blues guys? Seemed like the black guys kept dressing up and the white guys tried to look like they were field hands. But there were some neat splits in style. Problem is that it seems the record companies were driving a lot of it and a lot of pickers got one-hit wonders and then pushed into lousy road trips and one-nighters that got them into other lines of work and perhaps a bit of bitterness for some. Country always seemed to provide a bit better ongoing sorta gig if you did "known" songs. But again, that was also the era of the record companies pretty much runnin' stuff kinda like the "star system" of the old Hollywood studios. OTOH, pickin' always has been a lotta fun... m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
