The 60's and 70's song appreciation thread (obscurity welcome)

1970 lads

Driving to a college basketball game last night, I heard Jackson Browne and Bonnie Raitt back to back. Felt like I was in a time warp. Get to the game, and I hear a bunch of rap, Baby Shark, and other recent pop songs. I feel very fortunate to have grown up in the 60s and 70s.

Great post. Yes indeed my friend. I hear you sir.

So true

[touch]

such a talented wee dude from Cleveland. Great sounds from him for decades.

Classically trained and an outstanding student in classical piano.

Raspberries to Huge pop hit creator.

I'm a big fan of Mr. Eric Carmen.

Raspberries were one of my favorite sounds from the middle 70's

According to me the best 3 pack of songs ( on the poo - top 40 side of the music ) posted in this great thread you created Mr. B Cat.

 

Stomp is having to be posted by me. RIP Brothers Johnson. Awesome beats they created.

ABBA ! of course and "Cancer, My name is Larrry." and that grand flowing slow jam.

 

Thanks for the "ACE" in my book Bobcat

 

Bravo

This all is presenting me with a quandary, so I ask those more in the know.

The Clash, U2, The Police, The Jam, Talking Heads. All great bands, all formed in the late seventies 70's but productive into the 80's?

Where do you put them?

 

80's definitely

Keep em out of here Mr. Hockey lol

 

But how about a request please Pete ( Mr. Simulator burnout guy) in MT. ?

I say you make (write me) me a little diddy involving the Mt. Rushmore rock song from the late 70's ----

Running with the Devil

I know you are a God fearing wholesome dude , but possibly dig deep for the ole touch.

[touch]

 

1979-80

[Bob Cat]

That's The Way Of The World - Earth Wind & Fire

 

I'm a groove handicapped caucasian... but I can keep a pretty well timed bounce when this spins.

 

Touch, thanks for your SOLID contribution. This has been a blast.

What might happen if...................

 

You took two shots of Makers Mark.

You put on some quality headphones under your Patagonia ski hat.

You crank up Van Halen's Running with... song .

And start to snow blow your 3 mile driveway?

 

( full disclosure)

there too is a case of Iron City packed in the snowbank,

and the rest of the bottle of Maker's.

From a guy that was more into harder rock in the 70's-Foghat and such....

 

you wanted a bit obscure? Funny thing is I just mentioned this song to buddies on the course the other day. None of them had heard of him.

Some songs just shape a person, and this is one of them. A short fat guy goes to a sports camp, first time away from home. Wake up call was 6:30AM, breakfast at 6:45, be on the field at 8 and play all day. The fatty was granted an exception to go to this camp a year early, there was one other kid who was granted the same exception and lo and behold they were roommates. First time either had been away from home, both a little nervous, but excited nonetheless.

 

The teens across the hall were a little different. First off, they paid no heed to the youngsters across the hall, and maybe a grunt if no one was looking because they had to maintain the "cool" factor. For their 6 day excursion, they filled their dorm room with huge speakers, flowing hair, and a propensity for VH. It was 1978. Every morning at 7:10AM the decibel level of the college dorm would increase as the intro to this song started in at 10 on the volume control while they got ready for the day.

 

12 years later, the fat guys roommate was seen on TV playing for the Men's US National Team. 20 years later the fat kid owned his own pair Klipsch Chorus II speakers in homage to Runnin with the Devil and the cool kids of 1978. To all the young parents with kids in sports, realize early athletic success doesn't mean professional success, so let the kid have fun and stay out of it. Lastly, the allure of huge a*s speakers never goes away. When the kids moved out and were looking for "furniture" the first thing they would ask was, "You wouldn't happen to have a phat loud stereo system we could have?"
