Members Anderton Posted October 13, 2012 Members Share Posted October 13, 2012 Ras, I want your iPod Here's some pure pop from an aging, gentleman hippie's standpoint. Short, sweet, repetitive, to the point: "Can't Explain," by the Who. And of course, just about anything by Buddy Holly... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRlOI3N7Hao And Eddie Cochran, "Summertime Blues"...covered later by the Who.

Members Folder Posted October 13, 2012 Members Share Posted October 13, 2012 I've always liked songs that have cool instrumental breakdowns like the one here that starts at 2:28 I remember as a kid thinking it was my favorite part of the song. Although this live version doesn't have the breakdown. I think it's a lot more fun to look at.I like girls who wear blue dresses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got distracted with a new, original song called "When the Grid Goes Down." I was checking out Sonar X2 and it just kind of took on a life of its own...I previewed it at PreSonuSphere, and people were definitely rocking out I'm in the final stages of mixing, then I'll get back to the Animals. You'll get a link as soon as either one is done. "When the Grid Goes Down" is definitely not pop, it's pretty dark...but danceable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members rasputin1963 Posted October 14, 2012 Members Share Posted October 14, 2012 Eccentric-but-brilliant Canadian classical pianist, Glen Gould believed that THIS was the most perfect pop record ever made. I dunno, he may be onto something. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ltBFN3hL_c Dig Gould's brainy be-bop on pop music here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Anderton Posted October 16, 2012 Members Share Posted October 16, 2012 The Beach Boys "Good Vibrations" GREAT choice. Saw the PBS special of them recording this in the studio...Hal Blaine on drums and all that. It was truly magical, and I'm not even a huge Beach Boys fan.

It was truly magical, and I'm not even a huge Beach Boys fan. Thanks! This is such a beautiful song and arrangement. Of course, the studio performance is not what is seen in the video (but it is fun to watch).

Members nat whilk II Posted October 18, 2012 Members Share Posted October 18, 2012 This thread is definitely fun and interesting - I want to seed it with a few more recent entries. There's always recycling and back-to-roots things going on in music, but in the last 15 years there's been a particular spike in bands that have been mining the 60s-80s for vibe and feel and ideas, updating and making current pop/poprock mQONxOIPPuI EfFAEiT51Vk bit more rockin' numbers here, but still poppie IMHO. And I always found poprock more interesting typically than just pure, MOR pop. VokdpAJm9vs NRpm3lWbc08 nat whilk ii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rasputin1963 Posted October 19, 2012 Members Share Posted October 19, 2012 Oh yes, this is a great record. I love the choir of backup vocals throughout. I used to to sing this as : "Better run, girl; I'm too well-h*ng girl." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
