That was a flat out horrible era for songs. The early to mid-70's with the exception of what certain groups that carried on from the 60's, like the Stones, the Who and the Kinks were doing, was a vast wasteland of overproduced corporate bullshit rock . . .

The Ramones? The Clash? The Sex Pistols? Blondie? Dylan and the Band? Songs in the Key of Life? Freebird, and SH Alabama? Ramblin Man? Smoke on the Water? Layla? Black Magic Woman? Proud Mary? "Overproduced corporate bullshit"?

I will agree that it all died the day the first disco record was sold, but to write off the mid-70's completely is kind of . . . overkill.

Well, duh.

When I was a young child, we listened to early Bonnie Raitt, the Band, Orleans, Poco, and a lot of obscure folk and blues I can no longer recall.

As I got older, my mother would bring Motown tapes on our sails for a brief respite, but we were still deep in my father's extensive collection.

And this, children is what happens when someone is raised by hippies.

Law Professor Pleads Guilty to Possessing Child Porn

A New York Law School professor has pleaded guilty to 100 counts of possessing child pornography. Edward Samuels, 54, pleaded guilty as part of a deal in which Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Brenda Soloff promised him a maximum of 4 years in prison when she sentences him on June 23. Samuels, who remains free pending sentencing, taught copyright law. He was arrested Aug. 14 after he brought his computer to school for technicians to repair and they reported finding the images. Assistant District Attorney Maxine Rosenthal said that after technicians reported finding the pictures, police searched Samuels' home, where they found more than 100,000 graphic images of children being sexually assaulted. Meanwhile, the two technicians, who were fired from the law school after making the discovery, filed a $15 million whistle-blower lawsuit in January in Manhattan Supreme Court. Dorothea Perry of Brooklyn and Robert Gross of Staten Island say in court papers that they received excellent job performance reviews until they turned in Samuels. Law school officials "emphatically deny any wrongdoing in this matter," a school spokeswoman said

Slave,

I've listened to just about everything under the sun at one time or another - my current cd collection takes up a wall and ranges from Slayer (their lyrics are childish, but I have yet to hear a tighter outfit) to Wagner's Ring to Traffic to Johnny Cash to Carly Simon - everything but reggae, which is just too dull (even though I fucking love Sublime). ANYWAY... when I was roaming my fraternity house out of my head, my music of choice was Allmans, Dead, Stones, Traffic, Dead, Doors, Hendrix, Dead, Widespread, Faces, Jefferson Airplane, Clapton, Jane's, Zeppelin, Nirvana, Floyd, Santana, Dylan, Metallica, Keith solo stuff, Mick solo stuff, Buddy Guy, Cream, Dead, Jerry Band, tons of Velvets, Neil Young... etc, etc. You get the picture. Of course, in order to get laid, like all guys must, I danced and hummed along to "Late December 63" at sorority formals.

I never did the campy 80s tunes and would have tackled anyone who tried to slip U2 into the house stereo. No one would even consider playing the Boss - they'd simply know better. I like Neil Diamond (anybody appearing in the Last Waltz has to have chops), but didn't discover One Hot Summer Night until after college.

Yes, of course I sucked down returnable 16 oncers. My preference, however, was always for Mr. Beam. Much more bang for the buck.

How about a little "Muskrat Love" then? My sister and I thought that song was great! Then again we were both in single digits.

I happen to like "American Pie" (it's a college thing), but the cover version by the Brady Kids is hysterical as is William Shatner's version of "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds".

For all time worst (non-cover) I nominate "It's Magic" by Pilot. "Whoa, whoa, whoa it's magic! You know...."

The rhythm is NOT going to fucking get me.

Odd how these song associations go, but this post threw me back to Chakka Kahn (I Feel For You). A local station here (heck, it's corporately owned, so it might be all over the country too) does a spoof of Colin Powell trying to give Dubya street cred, and in it they do that song with "Shock 'n Awe".

Let me clarify. I consider early to mid-seventies as from the time Yoko, along with Paul's first solo album, killed the Beatles, to the time of the Ramones, Pistols and Blondie which clearly fall into the mid-to-late 70's. Let's say, for the sake of argument, 71 to 75.

Lets also say, my list of 60's holdovers was not exhaustive, but Dylan, Stevie Wonder, Clapton, Creedence, et. al, all were holdovers from the 60's and could usually not be smelt on AM radio at the time.

I'm talking here about songs you would hear in the car, and regrettably, my parents were driving early 60's Chevrolets and Plymouths with AM radios. FM was for AOR listening stoners such as yourself.

The rest, overproduced corporte bullshit. And for the record, southern-fried-boogie rock generally sucks, especially Skynyrd, though Duane Allman was a fucking genius. I clarify, yet stand by what I said.

Title 9 is the company that carries 'em, they mostly if not all use outside companies like Moving Comfort. Go to their website.

If you run or do anything else bouncy (or just have a big rack), consider '4 barbells' of support on their rating system.

This is my favorite post of yours besides the one describing the totem pole bong with an erection logo. I ddint know that stupid song was called Late Devember 63 but can remember being at the same parties as you when that shit was playing. THe fat chick had the gallon of milk container filled with bud and was slugging away while her skinnier friends were talking to all the SDs out there tolerating that crap. I can remember one frat guy and I hooked up and he had this mix tape designed to put women in the mood and I think that song may have been on it (wow do I wish I had stolen that eighties piece of memoriabilia). Romeo and Julient was also on it (though I love that song) and other ballads that Clay would probably sing if they were the theme of an AI. I cant remember, but I pray to god that I was smart enough not to bang this guy.

Is it wrong that I cant remember every guy I ever banged?

Wrong-o


We all came out to Montreux on the Lake Geneva shoreline
To make records with a mobile - We didn't have much time
Frank Zappa & the Mothers were at the best place around
But some stupid with a flare gun burned the place to the ground


Smoke on the water - A fire in the sky
Smoke on the water


They burned down the gambling house - It died with an awful sound
Funky & Claude was running in and out, pulling kids out of the ground
When it all was over, we had to find another place
Swiss time was running out - It seemed that we would lose the race


Smoke on the water - A fire in the sky
Smoke on the water


We ended up at the Grand Hotel - It was empty, cold and bare
But with the Rolling Truck Stones Thing just outside making our music there
With a few red lights an' a few old beds, we made a place to sweat
No matter what we get out of this, I know... I know we'll never forget


Smoke on the water - A fire in the sky
Smoke on the water

If I may speak for my good friend Sebastian, I believe his point was that he did that fifteen years ago, not now. These Jersey peole are in a timewarp if indeed this can be blamed on being behind the times. Kind of like how people in suburban Virginia are still sporting goatees that are so 1996.

I dont think any list of worst singers and songs would be complete without :

Michael Bolton
If we do nineties, can I throw in that "breathe in breathe out" song by Bush and "Im Just a Girl" by No Doubt which is my alltime run to the radio and turn the channel song, followed cloesly by Do you Believe in Lilfe after Love by Cher?

Though Tell Her About it has been going through my head all morning and is quickly climbing the ranks.

PP,

Well... its not true that I ever sang along with Meatloaf. He's so bad he doesn't even have any comedy value. He's like catching your grandparents fucking. You're compelled to stick around just long enought to see how bad it can get, then run off and wretch.

Good music is timeless. Hendrix sounds as good today as he did in 1968 (and still 10X better than 90% of what's coming out today). The Boss, Rush and Joel are as bad today as they were the day they released their first records. Bruce has gotten away with his shlock because long ago some writer called him the new Dylan. That writer had shit for brains. Ain't a note of Bruce's catalog that's worthy to be played within 100 yards of Visions of Johanna - not a stitch. "Me and Wendy, we were going to make it outta this place" may sound like poetry to some drunk kid in a Jersey mall parking lot, but that poor kid's never heard lyrics like "Ain't it just like the night to play tricks while you're trying to be so quiet..." Comparing Dylan with the Boss is like comparing Johnny Walker Blue and J&B... or perhaps Samuel Smith and Killian's Irish Red.

Bush is utter corporate crap - repackaged Nirvana for 15 year old girls wearing headgear and reading Teen Beat. If radio is lucky, the Bush singer and that chick from No Doubt he married will get wired silly some night and pull a Sid and Nancy.
