I know I said i had retired this user...but 2 of it's posts DID get deleted...leaving me at a uninspiring 9998 posts. AND i need the Mod powers it has in this forum to do what i want to do here. all that said....my point:


Put what you think are good songs from youtube in this thread. If I find them to be worthy, I'll allow them to remain. I may even praise you...If i think they stink....I'll toss them. And probably tease you too. sound like fun? are you thick skinned enough? remember that if i get too out of hand, you can always cry to bruce...or tony or wolf.

I do have pretty eclectic tastes in music, so it's not like they all have to be Led Zeppelin songs. Just put things that you find special or deep....i have a special liking for cover songs by good bands. I'll (LJ)be putting up stuff I like, too...and if you think fairness matters, UT can judge my songs. personally, i'd prefer to be omnipotent about this....but i know how you liberals can be.

oh....jinx made a good point....one song per post....cuz if i like one and not the other....i'll have to make a tough choice.....i dont think i can modify posts with my limited mod powers in here.

after all that, i sure hope i actually have the power to delete or alter posts in this forum....i think i did at one point.....

anyway: first entry:

remember when Dylan was good? you do? you're old

I'll throw one out there.

missing a verse, but still good...

both are worthy. i approve. your scores:

griff: 7

jinx: 7

(Er, please ignore the crappy video sync, and the mostly crappy video for that matter.)

well, i don't hate it.....

but i didn't find it particularly remarkable. I'm gonna give you a 5. but your next one had better be something special, cuz you're on thin ice now.

im groovin'.

another 7 for you.....thanks for your contribution. of course, you could put any thing you wanted in here.....and it'd be fine with me......cuz yer so dreamy.

Well to be fair, my love for it probably has everything to do with the fact that it was a hit my junior year in high school, and my best friend and I listened to it on repeat every day for months while driving to work. It is soaked in enough nostalgia to get me genuinely choked up if I'm in the right mood.

Grateful Dead - Uncle John's Band @ Radio City 10-31-80

I don't know how to link the image and all yet. This was a personal favorite of mine one of my first of hundreds of Dead shows. Many great times, friends and memories - some fuzzy.

Sheesh, your first day in office and you're already trolling for a line item veto.

At least you're not trying to go the 'unitary executive' route.

nice, zippy......you get a 6 for magic carpet ride, and an 8 for little wing.

classic man: see the first post in the 'good music on you tube' thread for instructions on imbeding youtube vids here.


i'll give you a 6 for uncle john's band....cuz that was a bad era for the dead. and a 5 for blue eyes....cuz i hate the who.

but, i wont gong them.

Thanks LJ, I'll try to find another now and see if'n I can post it properly.

regular.joe.....Van the Man looks like hell in that....but he's still groovy, so you get a 5.


jinx......6 but only cuz of..'peaches come in a can...they were put there by a man'

How about some Leon Redbone

from Mrs Carol ,

Advertising is a great form for art. Good commercial!

What? You didn't like Spidermench and the Yiddish Alphabet song? ;)

John Prine- Big Ole Goofy World

NSFW..for all you anti war guys. If one of John Prine is good...two must be better.

Yes - Changes.

A comment from one youtuber - At 1:59 this song turns into the best song I have ever heard in my life. Guitargasm!!!

classicman- 9 for black dog. whole lotta love or since i've been loving you from that show would have scored 10s, btw

zippy....'nother goodun....8...same for carol...that was cool.

joe......you're a little bit country, huh? 6 for both.....they were tolerable, but ....well, tolerable.

gotta get back to work...

I have no idea why the video is of these cows in Tokyo, this album has been one of my favs for a long time. All this talk of legal immigration is affecting my taste in music.

Oh yeah NSFW

Zyp....outstanding!

zippy: 7 for your asshole.....song

reg.joe.....sober....niiiice. 9 for you

and a 5 for the beach boys thing.....meh. nice slide guitar...but songs about cars don't thrill me so much.

i think i need some guest judges. i missed two.

i'm gonna move the songs from now on, instead of deleting them. seems a shame to just delete them.

they'll be here if they get gonged.

The Hooters, October 1982, The Brandywine Club, Chadds Ford, PA.

I think my college roommate is in the crowd.

hmmm...moving them leaves no trace......guess i could quote them first and remove the video....

can we put the artist and song name in the post with the video? if it doesnt ruin a surprise or something? kthxbai

aw shit! i posted 10,000! godamnit. i knew this would happen. and im not even drunk yet! fuckfuckfuck!

sigh.

might as well shitcan LJ now.

oh. and that trampolene song sucked tony. it's over here now

that building eventually turned into Family Jeep. where i worked for 6 years. the hooters still suck though. i'm gonna leave it here....you get a mulligan because of the local reference, and out of respect for your friend.

I love her voice

Linda Ronstadt "long long time"

huhwhat?

Oh wow, Jacquelita...I love her voice, too, and that song! [/peanut gallery]

Paul Simon (with Chevy Chase) You Can Call Me Al

great one! I love Chevy

Oh man, I love that old song - Mac Davis in his hey day reminds me of a young Patrick Duffy

I think this one is from the same time frame (maybe a little earlier)

Here's what they did before music videos

Freda Payne - Band of Gold

oh that's right out.

paul & chevy get an 8

Linda gets a 9 ....cuz i got nho's from that.

jacq...band of gold......would have scored a 5, but the quality of the clips is so piss poor, i had to doc you 2 points.....3 for you. but not gonged, because her dancing is so ridiculous, that i had to keep watching.

creepy listening?

You Can't GONG Electric Mayhem !!!

:p

C'mon now it's got a great bass riff... and you know I have a thing for the big meaty bass line

I will find a way to redeem myself

speaking of bass line...

Redemption...is only a link away.

I'm just not sure if it's that link....

..umm..I lied.

:lol: not surprised...was that cheezy as hell or what?

I have the mallot in my hand.....a step up to the gong......but ....i loved Animal......I'll let it stay, but it really is a shite version of a great song......2 for you.
