Title: Songs To Ageing Rockers Come.....
Post by: Toad on June 04, 2002, 02:07:00 PM
OK, remember that thread about really good old songs from the 60's and early '70's?

Well, I finally got around to figuring how to get the 4 hours of tunes on my Intel player instead of just 90 minutes. (Basically there's an option to select a lower sound quality that should be akin to FM radio quality instead of CD quality.)

So, now I'm creating some new playlists. I'm intially going to set it up in three song "sets" by artist. (I can select "random play" anyway."

So, let's see 'em. Gimme one or two of your favorite bands with the 3 songs you like best from each.

I'm shooting to keep the "sets" around 10-15 minutes but I realize exceptions will have to be made. I mean, ya can't leave out stuff like "Sympathy For The Devil" or "Midnight Rambler".

Example:

Cream: Crossroads, Spoonful & Born Under A Bad Sign (OK, lots of bluesy stuff here rather than hard rock.. but hey, it's my playlist  ;) )

Stones: Satisfaction, Sympathy For the Devil, Midnight Rambler

Zepplin: Good Times/Bad Times, Immigrant Song, Stairway To Heaven

OK, admittedly there'll be tough choices and no "right answers".

Let's see what you guys got.

Yea....Joe's Garage is my fav...but that was in the eighties.

I toyed with Central Scrutinizer as being my handle but I couldn't shorten it enough and still have it be recognisable.  Now that we have AH voice I could really have had some fun with it on the range channel...

Sitting on the runway.."The White Zone is for loading and unloading only...if you gotta load or unload go to the White Zone"

:D

Steppenwolf..."Magic Carpet Ride"
Momas and The Poppas.."California Dreaming"
The Pork Dukes..."Making Bacon" (hehe...I think that was still the seventies)

*smacks Toad*  You cannot select 3 songs from Zeppelin.  That's sacriledge or something.  :D

but if I had to...  hmm...  Over the Hills and Far Away, Immigrant Song (good choice bro), In My Time of Dying

Beatles (once again, sacriledge for just 3...  but):  While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Let It Be, Hey Jude

Stones is dead on.  ;)

The Doors - Spanish Caravan, Roadhouse Blues, The End (or When the Music's Over if The End is waaaay too long)

Curval, I heard California Dreamin' on the radio this morning.  :D

(edit: interestingly, my random player hit I Saw Her Standing There by The Beatles when I came across this thread.  I got 3.6gb worth of my CDs on my work computer, over 1300 files, hehe)

Nuttz, I'm not leaving anything out.

I'm leaving it up to you guys to jog my fading memory. :D

And you have! I look at what you guys mention, start thinking, and add a few more.

See, when ya get real old, it's hard to remember all the fun ya had way back then. Jeez, I'm remembering a young blond, a '68 Road Runner, a cul-de-sac in an unbuilt subdivision, the car idling to keep the air conditioner working overtime and Led Zepplin blasting "Whole Lotta Love" out of the Lear Jet.

Ahhhhhhh...

Keep up the good work guys!

Animals: House of The Rising Sun , We Gotta Get Outta This Place, San Franciscan Nights

Steppenwolf: Born To Be Wild , Hootchie Kootchie Man, Never Too Late

Yardbirds: For Your Love, Over Under Sideways Down, I'm A Man

James Gang: Midnight Man , Funk #48, Walk Away


OK, your turn again. C'mon Nuttz.. strut yer DJ stuff here.. remind me of some others!

Thanks to all.

Hummm...late 60's/early 70's.  Can remember the titles but not the groups.

"The Lion Sleeps Tonight"
"Me and Mrs. Jones"
"Lean on Me"
"Theme from 2001: A Space Odyssey"
"Diamond Girl"
"Frankenstein" -- Edgar Winter

The one by the Doobie Brothers..."without love where would we be now."  Has "Train" in the title? (I should know this one, lol)

These were popular on the radio in 1972 and 73.  Wish I could remember more, LOL.  There were also some pretty awesome black groups at that time, i.e The Chilites; Sly and the Family Stone, Isaac Hayes and many more.

Then I'm going to make up a playlist that I like and get all the mp3 files into one folder.

I'll zip it and find somebody to make it available for d/l.

How's that sound?

It'll take some time but I'll start tomorrow.

Thanks guys. Nice stroll down memory lane.
