Than The Ballad of Curtis Lowe by Lynard Skynard?

Not at this moment, anyway.

The "Happy Birthday" song.

Honestly, have you ever heard it and felt sad? No fucking way. A joyous occasion every time.

Sky Pilot- The Animals

That song could be stretched out to 20 minutes and still not bore me.

Definitely one of the best Skynyrd songs at the very least...

I need to check this forum more often. Great fucking song, and yes, I could easily listen to that for twenty minutes. I would've racked that vid two months ago and I'll rack it now.

My humble submssion

And Bri, you better listen to the whole 6.25 minutes, just like I did the 7.41 above. Pay no attention to the vid, just the music. If that doesn't mellow you out, I don't know what will.

Btw, I have no idea how you imbed those clips like that and don't really want to know. Hell, I'm doing good just to do the url thingy. Forgive my incompetance. I'm too old for this shit.

Enjoy, hopefully.

There isn't one cable hooked to any mike or instrument anywhere on that stage... oooops.

RACK that one. Been one of my favorites since the first time I heard it in well...a long time ago. Still brings back memories of partying in the freshman dorm.

I was probably in 5th grade when that came out and wouldn't have known a good song if it had knocked me off my 10-speed...

Steely Dan was an aquired taste for me. I never appreciated it until many years later. In fact, some of the music I used to think was great 20-30 years ago... now, I realize how badly it sucked.

On the other hand, music I had thought sucked at that time, was actually pretty damn good. I was just too stupid to realize it.

Jackson Browne comes to mind.

Dins, check the vid again. I know it's pretty grainy, but I'm pretty sure there's a wire hanging from that long haired lead guitarist hippies ax.... they just didn't want you to see it, dude, so you could come up with conspiracy theories 35 years after the fact.

Regardless, the sound quality compared to the vid quality... makes one think the sound was doctored.

But I don't care. It's still a great fucking tune.

War Wagon · Post by **War Wagon** » Thu Oct 02, 2008 9:15 pm

I didn't say it wasn't, just that there is a wire. Like I said, the sound quality is just too damn good. But it was the sound I was after in the first place. Everything else is just props.

You're kidding, right?

How does anybody think this is one of the best songs of all time? Or for that matter, consider The Clash to be the greatest band? "Train In Vain" sounds like it was done by NSYNC, NKOTB.

If I heard it on the radio and didn't know it was The Clash, I would think it was done by some Color-Me-Bad wannabees as their audition song for Making The Band.

Best song of all time? A song can't suck much worse than this one IMO.

Who said it's the best song of all time? I said it was better than The Ballad of Curtis Lowe by Lynard Skynard.

Period. Read more, post less. Be quicker to listen and slower to speak, m'kay?

fuck yeah. they had another song that was covered by (watch this) by the Colour Field. a band/LP featuring the dude from the Specials and then fun boy three Terry Hall (i actually bought it when it came out in the late 80's, there were 2-3 good cuts)....Terry Hall also co-wrote the Go-Go's Our Lips are Sealed with Jane Weidlin. the latter i did not know.

here we go, also in a commercial of late.....covered by smashmouth which is like having your younger sister pissed on by some guy huffing paint thinner who lives under a bridge or your parents coming clean and telling you your legal name is "Pepsi".

Can't watch YouTubes at work. If it's Radiohead, and since we're talking about Whitey here, lemme guess...Creep?

No surprise to see Whitey pick the song, of the hundreds of awesome songs the band came out with over the years, that is BAR fucking NONE the worst single they came out with and arguably one of their five worst songs.

All the songs from the Bends have traditional rock hooks, you know, like all that old man shit you listen to, grandpa, and all the songs on the Bends are light years better than Creep and anything off Pablo Honey.

Why do you think they don't play it live anymore, except for maybe once a tour? Because it's such a fucking awesome song it wouldn't be fair to play it live for their fans? Dumbfuck.

Whitey and BitchSmacked, quite the duo.

MgoBlue-LightSpecial · Thu Dec 18, 2008 3:03 pm

Creep was a decent song for top 40 radio play, but when compared to the rest of the Radiohead catalog...jeezus, there's just isn't any comparison. Listen to Paranoid Android for one, and then Creep, and then get back to me, BShellacked.

I've listened to Paranoid Android. It's OK. But there's nothing overly memorable about it.

Hundreds?

So, is it bar none the worst or just arguably one of the five worst?

Jeebus, you can't even type one complete sentence w/o contradicting yourself.

Not that I give a rats ass what an MGMT "rocks" dumbfuck opinion about any song is.

Screw_Michigan · Post by **Screw_Michigan** » Thu Dec 18, 2008 3:58 pm

I know pre-schoolers have better reading skills that you Whitey, so I won't even bother breaking it down for you. There is a difference between a "single" and a song on an album. You, as a FAT fucking IDIOT who is the same age as BlowSmacked, should know that. Not a surprise your weight far surpasses your intellect.

And yes, hundreds.

I seriously used to know douchebags like you in college. Back in the 80s, you would have been the guy who turned his nose up at you if you liked any U2 album other than Boy or October, because everything that came after it was "too commercial". But if I asked you what you thought of Johnny Thunders, you would have just looked back at me with a blank stare.

Why do you think they don't play it live anymore, except for maybe once a tour? Because it's such a fucking awesome song it wouldn't be fair to play it live for their fans? Dumbfuck.

Or maybe it doesn't suit their tastes? Maybe they chafe at the idea of being known as a one hit wonder? Maybe they enjoy being obtuse fucktards just like you?

And if anybody ever had the audacity to pimp Hootie and The Blowfish to me with a straight face, I'd sure as shit cripple from laughter. As soon as I regained some semblance of physical form, I probably still wouldn't punch you. I'd just wonder what the fuck is with that assclown, and walk away feeling embarrassed for you.

That's a pretty subjective thing, Bthwacked. Considering it's one of my favorite songs of theirs, out of many greats, I'd say it's quite memorable to me.

Ok, I waited in eager anticipation to give Paranoid Android a listen. To say I'm disappointed would be an understatement. That's all you got? Self_Masochist says they have "hundreds" of better songs... wanna' hook me up with one or two?

I mean, I really like "Creep" (if that's ok with you)... surely they have something comparable.

Look, I'm not going to smack your personal musical taste... that's personal, subjective, and there's no accounting for it. I just don't understand it. Not my cup of tea, as it were.

I smack Screwey's because he seems to delight in running up and down the board being an incredibly annoying assboil... kinda' like Goobs, just not as swift on the uptake. He can groove to MGMT or the "hundreds" of Radiohead songs he says are better until his eyes roll up into the back of his head, no sweat off my sack.

Btw... Chicks dig Hootie and the Blowjobs. You have to give a little - to get a lot.
