OT: Music thread -- post a song you like

Maywood · March 30, 2025 3:38PM

Funny that you'd pick that song and pass on "Can't You Hear Me Knockin'" which is probably the strongest song on the album and one of the Stones' best. Mick Taylor really shines on that and "cut his teeth" so to speak with John Mayall, the Godfather of British blues-rock. If you look at Mayall's history it's amazing the musicians who interned with his BluesBreakers.

Everytime I hear: Can't You Hear Me Knocking

I think of the movie: Blow

Maywood · March 30, 2025 5:54PM

That's funny, I actually read the book "Blow" years before the movie came out and had been stationed at a Naval Air Station during the time when George was out west. Undoubtedly, I used some of his product. To "Disraeli Gears" my favorite song from the album and Cream has always been SWLABR which stands for She Was Like a Bearded Rainbow. BTW, Clapton was one of the guys that started his career as a member of the BluesBreakers.

stevek · March 30, 2025 8:32PM

Interesting when I first heard "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" and I loved it. Loved the entire album. But the opening lyric idea for the song was obviously at least slightly nicked from Lennon's, "Come Together."

Come Together" opening
Here come old flat-top, he come groovin' up slowly
He got ju-ju eyeball, he one holy roller
He got hair down to his knee
Got to be a joker, he just do what he please

Can't You Hear Me Knocking" opening
Yeah, you got satin shoes
Yeah, you got plastic boots
Y'all got cocaine eyes
Yeah, you got speed freak jive, now

So Lennon nicked Chuck Berry, and Jagger nicked Lennon. LOL

"Fire" by The Crazy World of Arthur Brown. Watch the video in color with his head on fire.

Maywood · March 31, 2025 5:34AM

My “wheelhouse” is 1965-1975, most of my rock collection is from that time period. Strangely, it coincides with the 2nd modern music revolution and creativity. Around 1975 along came disco which really disrupted what was going on.

Saw Rush at their 2nd show in the US, June 28th, 1974 at the Allen Theatre in Cleveland.

Three of us were on our way to Cleveland Stadium to watch Gaylord Perry pitch for the Indians against the Red Sox, he was going for his 16th consecutive win. We got caught in a massive downpour and assumed the game would be rained out. The guy in the back seat, Chuck, said "Hey, ZZ Topp's playing at the Allen" so we went there instead. Didn't know who the opening act was, but after their 1st song, "Finding My Way" we were paying attention!! They closed like always with "Working Man" and brought the house down. Managed to them four more times before I enlisted in the USN and left in October of '75.

I think they trumped Cream as the ultimate power trio.

If you look on the back cover of their fist album you'll see a mention of Donna Halper from WMMS in Cleveland. She was instrumental in getting them lots of radio airplay which is why the band came to Cleveland so often early on.

No, Neil Peart. I don't know that Rutsey ever played with the band outside of Canada and he left by 1974-5.

Sabbath was really hot when they first came out, very unique. I gave up on them after Sabotage and Technical Ecstasy. Side One from Sabotage is incredible.

Maywood · April 2, 2025 7:30AM

Has anyone listened to Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac and other early Fleetwood Mac prior to the arrival of Stevie Nicks?? It's always fascinated me that once she was a member the quality of the music went down but the group's popularity went through the roof. Same thing happened to The Doobie Brothers when Michael McDonald joined.

I had (still do somewhere) the albums "Bare Trees" and "Heroes are Hard to Find" and enjoyed them. I really like the Green composition "Oh Well"!

Peter was not with the band by then, but it was before Buckingham and Nick's arrival.

I enjoyed the newer music and especially Lindsay's influence on the band getting a little more "rock and roll" than previously with Kirwain and Welch.

Favorites from the era would be "The Chain" and "World Turning". I did purchase both albums "Fleetwood Mac" and "Rumors".

I don't think the "quality" of the music went down at all. It changed and their popularity skyrocketed. Lots of enjoyable songs on those 2 albums.

Maywood · April 3, 2025 7:59AM

@JoeBanzai, it's JMHO but the recordings prior to "Bare Trees" are better and have more of an edge.

Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac (1968)
Mr. Wonderful (1968)
Then Play On (1969)

What would you choose if you had to pick just one?

Maywood · April 3, 2025 6:04PM

"Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac" would be my choice. If you get the remastered CD from around 2000 it has maybe 25 minutes of studio outtakes which gives a wonderful look at how a song is worked on to get the final version. The best example is "I Loved Another Woman" where they are really trying to find the right intro, the right guitar to start the song.

It's fascinating.

As for Fleetwood Mac, I always thought their best album is TUSK. So many fantastic tracks on that double album.

Maywood · April 4, 2025 6:17AM

One crazy thing about Fleeteood Mac: when the band was holding auditions around 1975 they were settled on Lindsey Buckingham but had no interest in Nicks. LB told them “If you want me you need to take Stevie, also” and the lineup was formed.

Fast forward some 40+ years and the roles are reversed. After some dispute among bandmates, Nicks didn’t support Buckingham and forced her hand with the band, it’s him or me. The band chose her and fired Buckingham.

Gratitude, right?? In case you haven’t guessed, I don’t really care for the diva.

Yes, being a fan of Lindsey, I knew this. She owes her entire career To the guy and of course the fans.

She screws both by refusing to perform with him. I saw them 3 times in concert, but won't go if he's not playing. I'm not a fan of hers either, although she is talented.

BTW, ordered the CD you suggested.

BLUEJAYWAY · April 4, 2025 2:29PM

Somewhere in my record collection I have a 45,remember those,of a Bob Welch recording of Sentimental Lady. It is kind of scarce that it is a DJ promotional copy. It's a white label and denotes it's Promotional status. Also have a Steely Dan promo copy of "Dallas" and a Rascals promo copy. Still have my Beatles White Album from 1968 with the serial # on the cover.
