The Pusher is a great song! Their best IMHO.

A lot of songs from my yoot here. But kinda lacking on some of the hard stuff, at least with the links and vids that YT and Google haven't already taken down. The first four five below are emblematic and typical of the causual brain rot that I subjected myself to in the 70s. Well, we'll see how long these last before someone at YT's legal department decides 'no bueno, mofo'...

Black Sabbath "Paranoid" (full album)



Rainbow "A Light in the Black"



Judas Priest "Dissident Agressor"



The Clash "The Clash" (full album)



The Jam "The Modern World"



And for that proverbial change in pace, courtesy of freshman year in high school...and Patty.

Earth Wind & Fire "That's the Way of the World"

My favorite part of this one-hit (on the US charts) wonder from the UK is the drummer. @1:26

I was looking around in this long-running thread today and I saw a song from the Youngbloods that Creslin posted, clear back on page 4. I thought of this song. I believe I read one time that Jesse Colin Young wrote it for a guy he went to school with who went to Vietnam, he was trying to imagine what it might feel like for his friend.

This thread is just a few months short of 4 years old.

Pretty good song.

Lisa Dalton sure had a healthy set of sweater puppies.

I hope they did that in one take. Imagine the chafing

to the top

Good selection so far. Here are a couple of mine to add. I'll leave off the foreign (French & German favorites of mine that are emotional to me).

Van Halen I and II. Blasting on a cassette while waiting 45 mins to fill up the gas tank, with a line around the block - odd/even gas rationing '79 in California. Ah the memories.

2 of my favorites. Still dangerous to play while driving on a freeway.





East Bound and Down - great song in a movie we all have seen.

The movie that destroyed CB radio service. FCC was getting something like 500K license applications a month and FFC just eliminated the license requirement in response. Proof Bureaucracies can be overrun by the people.



Petula Clark - Kiss Me Goodbye, can't play it too often as it takes me back 25 years and I have no more tears to shed, although i still come close.



cut and paste got me again.

Along with this one

Didn't see these posted yet..





Inspired by the great track above from Petula Clark, I remembered this vid from one of her male UK counterparts also circa 1968.

The 70's has been thought of as the decade of disco. No way. So much great music came out of that decade. Queen did their best work. 2112 the masterpiece that broke it open for Rush and started a 40 year career. Here's an updated version of an old Yes classic.

One song...





Well worth the hour...

Wow, Dissident Aggressor brought back a bunch of memories.

50 year old recording live in studio version.

Back to the early 70s with that Little Ol’ Band from Texas. I saw them a couple of times before Dusty Hill passed, and I’ve always said, “It’s impossible to not have fun at a ZZ Top concert.”

I know BFG and Frank Beard are doing some shows with an old friend who plays bass, I assume it’s still fun.
