Yep - thats a keeper. I'm trying to work out where I've heard the lead singers voice before. Seems very familiar.Kaleo - HotBlood https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6PuTFmn_ds
Not so keen on this one. Bit down-tempo for driving I reckon.War - Lowriderhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xTGrfs5TXM
Yeah I like this track a lot - the drumbeat reminded me quite a bit of Radar Love but the rest had a very different feel - great soul vocals with a George thorogood guitar feel. Need to watch some more of this band.Tito and the Tarantulas - Motorcycle Girlhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DI9irFLcVgA
Loved the music but didnt enjoy the vocals.Lenny - Brotherhood of Man

This Manfed Mann cover song (which I long had thought theirs and original) befuddled the hell out of me back in the mid 70s. But man did I like listening to it on my dual cassette/8-track setup while driving around (usually made up words when I couldn't figure out what they were saying, like "wrapped up like a douche.." (you know, as in 'douchebag', lol). Aye, the days before the Net and not knowing every lyric of every song ever written. Too dumb and young back then driving my beatup Volkswagon squareback (all i could afford) around, full of freinds, all of us belting out "Blinded by the Light". We were all douches wrapped up like a ronner (that's not mis-spelled, that's what we came up with---again, I emphasize the "young" and "dumb" parts)...we never even knew the Boss had first written and performed this song
Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce
Another runner in the night
Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce
Another runner in the night
Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce
Another runner in the night3
Madman drummers bummers
Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat
In the dumps with the mumps as the
Adolescent pumps his way into his hat
With a boulder on my shoulder
Feeling kinda older, I tripped the merry-go-round
With this very unpleasing, sneezing and wheezing
The calliope crashed to the ground
The calliope crashed to the ground
But she was
Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce
Another runner in the night
Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce
Another runner in the night
Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce

Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce
Another runner in the night1
Some silicone sister with a manager
Mister told me I go what it takes
She said "I'll turn you on sonny to something strong
Play the song with the funky break"
And go-cart mozart was checking out the
Weather chart to see if it was safe outside
And little early-pearly came by in his
Curly-wurly and asked me if I needed a ride
Asked me if I needed a ride
But she was
Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce
Another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
She got down but she never got tired
She's gonna make it through the night
She's gonna make it through the night
But mama, that's where the fun is
But mama, that's where the fun is
Mama always told me not to look into the eye's of the sun
But mama, that's where the fun is
Some brimstone baritone anticyclone
Rolling stone preacher from the east
Says, "dethrone the dictaphone, hit it in it's funny bone
That's where they expect it least"
And some new-mown chaperon was standing in the corner
Watching the young girls dance
And some fresh-sown moonstone was messing with his frozen zone
Reminding him of romance
The calliope crashed to the ground
But she was
Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce
Another runner in the night
Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce
Another runner in the night

Good choice. I have never heard that side of Mike Nesmiths music before - just remember him from the monkees. Some of the comments on that video pick him as one of the influences on the early Eagles - and I do like their music for travellin'cthisbear wrote:Mike Nesmith - Nevada Fighter

My choice of music is all over the place too.
I thought this was only problem with someone like me, whose mother tongue is not English and haven't had the experience with that accent.belham wrote:befuddled the hell out of me back in themid 70s. But man did I like listening to it on my dual cassette/8-track setup while driving around (usually made up words when I couldn't figure out what they were saying,)
But I can relate to that, many songs I just hummm, even now.
Yeh that's actually the reason I don't even knew these songs exist.belham wrote:Aye, the days before the Net and not knowing every lyric of every song ever written.
Hell, didn't even have TV till 1996, we were poor.
Then again on TV only Western music I could hear was what M tv showed.
Mostly Backstreet Boys, Nsync etc...
I remember I went to cassette store and asked for MJ's music. Had to wait 2 months to get it.
Made copies of it for few friends on the Panasonic dual cassette player/recorder/radio that we had. Our most worked machine in house.
It was continuously playing either radio or cassettes mostly Bollywood music though.
English music I could only play sometimes, as a privilege and on low volume.
Times are changed now, not completely.
Would we be one homogeneous mixture in coming years? Or still have walls around us as some recent events suggest?
Thanks for this thread, got to know quite good songs and artists.
Keep them coming mates.

I'm still working through the suggestions but this track is a standout. JC was a really flawed human being with a big heart. I like his music more and more as I get older. Rokytnji mentioned a ring of fire track earlier but not the JC version. Lots here for me to sift through.8Geee wrote:.....Man in Black ( Johnny Cash):

Rush: Subdivisions
Despite my advance in years, all their stuff (still have 4 of their LPs) gets the blood pumping. Growing up in N.E. Ohio in 70s, we made these boyz succeed by sheer force of our devotion. WMMS and the legions that followed the station made Rush breakout of the provincial hell of somehow being ignored and unnoticeable up across the border in their homeland and across the U.S. In their very early days, Rush repeatedly came to N.E Ohio to do concerts, and we sold them out every time...even up to the point of coming back, when they finally hit it big, and doing Coliseum shows. We just sold them out, and they repaid the love by doing 50-100% longer shows than they did anywhere else on the planet. It was awesome. Incredibly, in their early days back In Canada in beginning of the 70s, they couldn't get 50 people to come to shows (true story, told to us by the band mates). They said without the N.E.Ohio support, they'd have probably disbanded and the world would have never known what we came to see. When Neil came on board `'74, we heard something different and knew it was just a matter of time till they exploded up to stardom. Just damn good guys, especially Getty and Alex. They still are when you see their interviews and videos/documentary made of them. Neil was just a strange, weird guy in '74/75/76....though we all dropped our mouths when he was in the command of that incredible drum setup. He was a God. Rush blew so many of the current bands off the stage at the time (and set the future for so many other bands that followed) that it isn't even funny.

....lol, I had 8-tracks of every one of them and more....and wore them babies out. Now that I think about, I sure as heck listened to a wide range of music back then. Hit my freinds on the way to something with Rush, Airborne, Black Sabbath, Judas, Lynard, AC/DC, etc, and then on way back home, made them listen Tapestry, Carolina in the Pines, I am the Eagle, Smackwater Jack, Puff (the Magic Dragon), That's the Way I always Heard It Should Be" all the way to one of the best classics of all time (I can still hear the words fresh & clear):
