Feel Good Music II

[Achilleslastand]

Anyone heard of Terry Reid?
Probably not........
He was actually Jimmy Pages first choice to front Led Zeppelin.

Listen to this and you can thank me later..

[Prunepicker]

Agreed...
He is one of a kind although I will say I prefer his stuff with Rainbow.

In the 70's I was in a cover band that played many tunes from Deep
Purple and Richie Blackmore's Rainbow. We were one of the very few
bands that could pull it off and consistiently toured the Midwest
Ritchie was quite an influence on me. He'sthe reason I turned to
being a Classical musician and performing with professional orchestra's
for over 30 years. Mainly because I thought he was comparable to
Beethoven, Bach and Brahms. Boy, did I get a wrong number, but I
still owe him a large part of my musical career because I wanted to
be as good as I could.

I like the pseudo Renaissance music, pseudo in the sense that it's
not really Renaissance music, he's been writing. Yes, it has the flavor
but the music is very much contemporary with that "medieval" touch.

I saw Ritchie many times. Very LOUD! Very COOL!

The Avalon Boys are the singers and instrumentalists.

One thing the Surfing Championship from Oahu, Banzai Pipeline, is missing this afternoon...

[Dennis Heaton]

A little "Green Onion" would be fine too...

[Dennis Heaton]

Just one more, of course...

One of my favorite, The Mermen, self described as psychedelic instrumental ocean music.

Thank you for sharing...never heard of them, and I am from California. Guess I hung out at the wrong beach.

So I stopped by Homeland to pick up a couple of things for the Ratatouille that I'm making for dinner tonight. This was playing on the overhead speakers. I said to the lady who rang me out, singing softly along with the tune, about ten years my junior, and of a different ethnic background from mine, "I've always loved that song." "The Temptations," she said. "Have you ever seen them?" "No. But I just love that song . . . and Sam Cooke . . . and The Drifters. Where did all the talent go?" "You can't even understand what they are saying these days," she replied. "That's old school." "Good school." She smiled.

Tiny Tim also did a great version of this as the closing cut on his first album.
If I could find it on Youtube I would have posted it.
Yet, this will do. =)



I wonder if Alice Cooper and Marilyn Manson listened to Tiny Tim records in their formative years . . . =)

I have no idea what this is supposed to be about but it certainly is fun.

[Bullbear]

I guess it all depends on what you consider feel good music.

I love Lilly Allens witty lyrics. I am sure we all know people like this song describes.

I'm a little upset he stole my dance moves.

A new version of a song by the group in the previous video which I had posted before.

I was fully prepared to not like the VidClip at 118 ^.
Instead, I was entranced. Thank you.
(one question: what's that old song from which they sampled, borrowed or stole that catchy little background bass guitar riff?)

Never mind . . . I just remembered . . . =)

If we're going the Bowie route.

Am I the only one that thinks the Madden Bros are completely manufactured? Like they sat down with an agent and some label A&R guys and planned out a "look" and a "sound"?

[Dennis Heaton]

I was at an older friends apartment the other day cleaning his windows. When I came inside, he popped in an old "cassette tape" of one of his favorites, and he asked me..."Have you ever heard of this guy?"



I would love to see today's young people take just 5 minutes out of their day and dance to this. Great memories! Thank you, Floyd!

Whether that's true or not has little relevance. The Monkees were exactly like that with a very planned "look and sound" and they produced some very memorable music.

Plus Michael Nesmith and The First National Band did some even better stuff after The Monkees broke up.

Speaking of Michael Nesmith reminded me of THIS "underrated" artist.
I think I like his version of this tune better that the cover version by the Eagles . . .


(no. that song was NOT written by The Eagles.)

[BlackmoreRulz]

Saw the Monkee's on their original reunion tour back in the late 80's after a Texas Rangers game at the old Arlington Stadium, was a good show....they had long congo lines going up and down the aisles

Did you know that Peter Tork did time at El Reno Penitentiary?
