Members Samilyn Posted November 27, 2008 Members Share Posted November 27, 2008 I recorded "Ode" the other day just to see if I could still sing it. It's in my top-10 fave list. Will probably submit for VOM one of these days. And like you, Backwater Blues gives me goosebumps. Oh, how I wish I could sing like that!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Michael Martin Posted November 27, 2008 Author Members Share Posted November 27, 2008 I'm not laughing. David Cassidy/Partidge Family came out with some pretty good tunes. I recall some nice stuff done by Bobby Sherman, too, and also that zany group, The Monkees. I ain't laughing either, says the ABBA fanboy. I have several Monkees songs etched on my subconscious hard drive--among them: Here Comes Tomorrow, Pleasant Valley Sunday (in spite of its sophomoric theme), Daydream Believer, Valerie...I know there's others lurking in there. I don't hear 'em played on the radio much anymore, but when I do they make me feel good. And sometimes they just start playing in my head, totally unbidden. And BTW: Happy T-Day to all y'all. This is an interesting thread--gives me insights. Reminds me of a great one TAH started a couple of months ago asking for a list of the 10 songs that would come up randomly on our Shuffles (or iTunes).

Members Ohioarrow Posted November 28, 2008 Members Share Posted November 28, 2008 hmm.. Five. That's a tough one to whittle down.Well I am going to borrow the Behind Blue Eyes (who's version) from you there, and add to it: (In no particular order)2. Hotel California - Eagles (as performed in the acoustic reunion tour)3. End of the Innocence - Don Henley (Partial to the Jeff Bryant acoustic version)4. Something to Believe In - Poison (Love Kevin Leary's acoustic arrangement of this. Sentimental significance.)5. Patience - Guns & Roses (Can't resist that acoustic gem.)I'd like to give "Running Away" by Midnight Hour an honorable mention.I find it hard to cut a list down like this as there are so many that rival these as favorites, but I did my best. Heck I could have probably took up the 5 with the Eagles alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your right, I had expected the old folks to remember it, but then a lot of kids would be jumping around, so the Shrek connection has given it a whole new audience.

Members rhancox Posted November 28, 2008 Members Share Posted November 28, 2008 As has Guitar Hero and Rockband for a lot of old music. Some are seeing it as a new release vehicle for the digital age. And why not (from a selling standpoint)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guildfire Posted November 28, 2008 Members Share Posted November 28, 2008 Well I always felt great songs meet the test of time. At Thanksgiving my young teen niece had a Beatles Tshirt on and was playing Beatles tunes on her acoustic. She saw that movie Across the Universe and is hooked on the Fab 4. How do you figure?
