I guess all the guys old enough to remember don't really hang out in HCFX. There were some good ones in there, and some I don't recognize at all. Another fav of mine was Nazareth's cover of "Love Hurts" (cool phased guitar sound), though I didn't realize it was a cover of the Everly Brothers until very recently. The original version absolutely beautiful, so I'll post both: Everly Brothers, Love Hurts http://youtube.com/watch?v=ffynuKji3RY [YOUTUBE]ffynuKji3RY[/YOUTUBE] Nazareth, Love Hurts http://youtube.com/watch?v=KrSs7gfLDjc [YOUTUBE]KrSs7gfLDjc[/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, that whole debut album still stands as one of the best power pop albums of all time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, that whole debut album still stands as one of the best power pop albums of all time... Great song/album, for sure. Yeah, other than release dates, it's so arbitrary to fit things in genres. In my scheme, The Knack goes in this thread: Greatest Songs of the nEw_WaVe Era? I'm not sure what separates my "Have A Nice Day" era from the Knack - Chris Thomas' productions, I guess, which seemed to strip the hazy hippie element out of late 70's Rock music. Not that he produced the Knack, but it sort of has that aesthetic about it, which was hip in '79. Here are some more post-hippie, pre-punk gems: Steve Miller Band, Rock N Me http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQd6d9h0DiA eQd6d9h0DiA Jefferson Starship, Count On Me (I love the Marty Balin stuff) AOMuK7YYxeg Gerry Rafferty, Baker Street: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgbGaYTkkPU EgbGaYTkkPU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members machine gunner Posted April 16, 2008 Members Share Posted April 16, 2008 Nice ones ^^^ Miracles (Balin) has always been a favorite. City To City is also a great album- remember Steeler's Wheel? Best voice ever right here- Sonic Youth did a pretty damn good cover: [YOUTUBE]SWkOryYF6CI[/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted April 16, 2008 Author Members Share Posted April 16, 2008 remember Steeler's Wheel? Best voice ever right here- Sonic Youth did a pretty damn good cover: As much as I love Reservoir Dogs, Tarantino pretty much took the nostalgia out of Stuck In The Middle for me. Now all I can think of is Marvin's ear Awesome song though! I love Karen Carpenter's voice too. I had the Only Yesterday single when I was 5. The chorus is really cheesy, but her voice is so f'in sexy when she comes in on the first verse. I could just melt Carpenters, Only Yesterday: [YOUTUBE]oQmbHGwMcCo[/YOUTUBE] Okay, if we're going all Love Boat with this, then we have to add this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1d2l5VE5_10 [YOUTUBE]1d2l5VE5_10[/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted October 18, 2008 Author Members Share Posted October 18, 2008 I was walking through Walgreens' Drugstore the other day, and "Sentimental Lady" was playing over the PA. I remember seeing Bob Welch's French Kiss album cover when I was a kid, but I never knew that he sang these songs. They are really cheesy, but I kind of like hearing them now, and they fit perfectly with this thread:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Po29UqHURs[YOUTUBE]5Po29UqHURs[/YOUTUBE][YOUTUBE]FnJOsfalSYs[/YOUTUBE]Anyone remember this Sweet hit?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZiIguFGF8o4[YOUTUBE]ZiIguFGF8o4[/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
