Janis Joplin - Piece of My Heart

I never got the fascination at all with this song or with Janis Joplin. Her voice sounds like one that has endured decades of cigarette smoke destroying it, and not in a good way. Pass.

Agreed about Joplin. I'm always puzzled at how she or her style of singing gets such props. I feel like I must be missing something -- everyone else seems to love her.

She's just kinda tragic...and canNOT sing.

However....I love the song. Dusty Springfield's version is awesome: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhV3Ual2HGA

Also Aretha's sister, Erma: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUM161EgKdI

Guess I was so high when I first got in to Joplin's music, it had a certain appeal. Still dig it.

Janis Joplin does not have one of my favorite voices, and in general it bugs me because it's so wiped out -- "whiskey voice" I've heard it called -- but I also understand why many people love it. She sings with a lot of soul. She pours her heart into it. Same reason I love Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World". His voice actually bothers me, actively, but the song is so great and there's so much passion in his voice that I still enjoy the performance.

I have to be in the right mood, but every once in a while, I like Janis Joplin. Also, the guitar work on this song is pretty tasty.

Electric Light Orchestra - Sweet Talkin' Woman

This has always been one of my favorite ELO songs; it is very catchy and easy to tap your foot to. What's not to like about it? Really good tune.

Bolsters · « **Reply #1546 on:** July 26, 2013, 10:13:53 AM »

One of my favouriote ELO songs, too.

Jaq · « **Reply #1547 on:** July 26, 2013, 10:19:38 AM »

Always thought it was funny that Discovery was dubbed ELO's attempt to be disco when this song right here is so disco it HURTS.

Like the song though. My grandmother worked in a place that had a juke box and she used to give the old 45s when they put in new ones to my sister. The one for this song? PURPLE VINYL. I regret the hell out of not keeping that one.

Nice tune by ELO

Yes - I've Seen All Good People

Some songs get overplayed to death, yet always still sound great every time you hear them; I've Seen All Good People is one of those songs for me. I never turn it off if it comes on anywhere, and I always enjoy the hell out of it. A truly great song, one of my favorites by Yes.

Unlegit · « **Reply #1550 on:** July 28, 2013, 02:46:18 PM »

Alright song, but not one of their best.

jingle.boy · « **Reply #1551 on:** July 28, 2013, 09:20:11 PM »

Brilliant song. Absolutely brilliant. Top 5 for Yes in my books.

Rattlehead · « **Reply #1552 on:** July 28, 2013, 09:42:33 PM »

One of my favorite songs by Yes as well

It is brilliant.

masterthes · « **Reply #1553 on:** July 28, 2013, 09:46:58 PM »

A favorite of mine from them most definitely

Ugh, that lyric, THAT LYRIC! I digs its way in to my brain like one of those creatures from Wrath of Khan.

Led Zeppelin - Good Times Bad Times

Talk about packing a tremendous punch in under three minutes! Great tune, and fitting that it was the first song on the first LZ record.

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #1557 on:** July 30, 2013, 08:47:57 AM »

This has always been one of my favourite Zeppelin tunes. It has a great drum groove to it (as to be expected from Bonham), and I love the bass fills after the chorus.

Jaq · « **Reply #1558 on:** July 30, 2013, 08:51:31 AM »

What always amazes me about this song-if not John Bonham's work in general-is the fact that the amazing kick drum parts are all done with one foot. John Bonham all too frequently did things that did not seem humanly possible, and all of it on one of the smallest kits a big league drummer ever used. The man was beyond amazing.

Agreed.

Incredible to think that this was the song that launched LZ. Not sure I'd rank it in my Top 10 of Zeppelin songs, maybe not even top 20. But for me, a even a song outside of the Top 20 by LZ is better than the best song of several bands in my library

masterthes · « **Reply #1560 on:** July 30, 2013, 09:46:25 AM »

Not since I Saw Her Standing There has there been a more memorable debut track

Orbert · « **Reply #1562 on:** July 30, 2013, 10:29:32 AM »

I know I'm in the minority, but this is just not one of my favorite Led Zeppelin songs. It's just never grabbed me.

Bolsters · « **Reply #1563 on:** July 30, 2013, 10:29:52 AM »

I liked this song when I was first getting into Zeppelin, but I've found it hasn't aged so well. I don't dislike it, but my opinion of it has not remained the same.

jjrock88 · « **Reply #1564 on:** July 30, 2013, 08:32:55 PM »

Great way to kick off Led Zeppelins career.

Rod Stewart - Maggie May

I remember this song being hugely popular and played all of the time when I first got into classic rock in the late 80s/early 90s. I thought it was pretty cool, but I wasn't overly nutty about it. Good song, sure, but never a favorite or one I even got excited to hear.

Jaq · « **Reply #1566 on:** July 31, 2013, 09:03:00 AM »

You don't get a cool story here, sadly.

The longest term relationship in my life-and one I'm still wrapped up in, in amazingly complex ways-was with a woman named Maggie. I set world landspeed records changing the channel when this song comes on.

Orbert · « **Reply #1567 on:** July 31, 2013, 11:03:54 AM »

I like this song. I still remember riding in the car with my mom in the old Ford Falcon with the AM radio and hearing this song. At the line "All you did was mess my bed, and in the morning kick me in the head" we both laughed.

Deep Purple - Child in Time

I have never been a huge Deep Purple fan. Their stuff always sounds good, but I never went ape shit over them or anything. But this song is f'ing awesome. In every way.

Jaq · « **Reply #1572 on:** August 01, 2013, 12:09:16 PM »

Live version on Made in Japan.

That is all.

KevShmev · « **Reply #1573 on:** August 01, 2013, 12:16:16 PM »

I have never heard a single note of Made in Japan. I know, I know

, but I am not a big live album guy, and considering I am not that big a Deep Purple fan, I never felt the need to go out of my way to hear any of it.

Me as well. Not sure why, they seem like the type of band I would love, but I am content with a Greatest Hits CD and Made in Japan.
