This may be the hardest year of all time for Old Yellar.
I've got like 6 first place votes here, but my inner anglophile nostalgia carries the day with Victoria. It's on the Mt Rushmore of history nerd rock songs rather easily.
Born On The Bayou is a tremendous part of the soundtrack for The Waterboy. Easy win here.
Gimme Shelter and Cinnamon Girl close
You had to be there for WLL and the relatively new stereo
I flipped burgers to buy mine
That’s a murderers row of options.
Born on the Bayou is probably Fogerty's greatest song, and it wasn't even a single. They had better overall albums than Bayou County, but this one set the tone (Proud Mary was on Side 2) and was the greatest run of 5 albums in under two years in rock history. No one has ever come close to CCR's productivity from 1969- 70.
WLL was the first time I heard "heavy" music. It was on my old man's hi fi rig in circa 1985 or so. I still am running those same speakers today.
Those offbeat sextuplets on the bass drum with the single pedal. I had never heard anything like that.
Teq's Definitive List
Don't forget about the cowbell, pal!
I can make skrong arguments for 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8 and 9 all being in the #1 spot. A true murderers row @CFetters_Nacho_Lover
@YellowSnow
The 2 CCR songs basically sound the same to me … well really all CCR songs to a varying degree do
They provided the template for AC DC and all other one trick pony bands that followed.
AC/DC is who I always think of regarding bands whose songs all sound the same.
I guess part of that is sticking with what you’re good at.
Track one of the best album ever has to win.
Honestly I could've picked any song on the list. I'm a big CCR guy and almost picked Green River.
Just had that thought listening to a Def Lepard song tonight.
Bands whose songs all sound the same might be a good thread
Bands who were produced by Mutt Lange
Im going downtown with PinBall Wizard by the Who… [covered later by Elton John and his take on this song was fabulous as well…]
Hard to argue against Led Z tho, introducing LZ 1 & 2 in 1969 was blockbuster and made them the hottest thing on the planet.
Bruh! Overture is Side A, Track 1 on Tommy.
Pinball Wizard the 3rd song on Side C
Ahhahaha wha? There are a lot of technical details there to follow the bouncing ball
im Loving your precision in the execution of this fine concept
Pete's rock opera phase. Tommy was two years before Who's Next which was the remnants of another rock opera followed by Quadraphenia, another rock opera
The movie rocketed Tommy to greater heights than the original release. The Quad movie bombed but it's a cool album
