theryugobuddy Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 So old its crusty -- The Weight by the Band. Levon's best vocal ever-- How about this: Cop on the corner, look he's startin' to writeI don't need no ticket so I screamed out of sight,Drove so fast that my eyes can't see,Look in the mirror is he still followin' me?

rplace Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Winning or I'm Winning - For sure Santana. Alone...listless...breakfast table in an otherwise empty roomYoung girl...violins...center of her own attentionThe, mother reads aloud, child, tries to understand itTries to make her proud Not quite old enough to be classic rock, but I am sure you will all know it. Tons of air play. This should not last long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtimer Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Psycho Killer--Talking Heads One of my all time favorite songs. The live version on Stop Making Sense equals PARTY! Here's an easy one but still a great tune: Here am I floating round my tin canFar above the MoonPlanet Earth is blueAnd there's nothing I can do.

dbflash Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 David Bowie "Major Tom" I don't know why but I have been playing this band over and over for the last week. Mommy had a little baby. There he is fast asleep. He's jus a little plaything. Why not wake him up? Cute Cute Little baby. Little pee pee. Little toes. Now he's comin' to me. Crawl across the kitchen floor.

oldtimer Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Talking Heads from Little Creatures---song is Stay Up Late. I'll tell you why. They were an incredible band with great lyrics and musicianship. Here's one you should get then: Somebody said that it happens all over the worldI do believe that it's trueAnd the sun's coming upAnd we're doing all the things that we shouldDoesn't everybody here believe in the things we do?
