Luke Posted June 8 Posted June 8 Listening to some old stuff right now, this is a nice piano version from the boss that is not well known:

Blasphemous, they should ban foreign investors who don't know Toby from investing in the domestic US markets. On another note, glad you posted Bruce, reminded me of this banger: What I'd give to go back into that BMW, windows down on the I-75 blasting this full volume.

Here is something older, 1964, but an extremely influential song as it was the first hit based around the use of power chords and distortion. The Kinks were a very influential group that unfortunately were banned from touring in the US from 1965 to 1969. This song can't be that old because I remember it on my transistor radio!

I saw Van Halen do this in Mobile (one of the all time best performances I've ever seen). Low Budget is a great album. Dave Davies is a guitar god. Edited June 9 by DooDiligence

Yeah, someone told me that the Kinks really invented hard rock and they may be true, just listening to this live performance. My mom told me about the Kinks - she said, they were it when the Beatles seemed old fashioned. And yes, a song from 1975 can qualify as old now almost 50 years later.
Parsad Posted June 11 Posted June 11 Highly recommend catching tonight's Late Show With Stephen Colbert. Billie Eilish and her brother Finnegan perform one of the most extraordinary live performances I've ever seen on a talk show or SNL. Her voice is incredible, and the music Finnegan writes puts him up there with some great song writers. I wish I had a clip...probably be on there in the next couple of days. Cheers!

(Reminded me to rewatch one of my favorite late show live appearances, which I’m not saying is better, but still rocks, so sharing so others can enjoy:
rkbabang Posted June 11 Posted June 11 This. In my opinion this video is the best version of this song by any artist (even far better than Disturbed's studio version).

Fantastic vocals, symphonic bursts, and a calacaphony of blazing guitars. Awesome! Cheers!

Oh nooooo! Original Simon & Garfunkel is a classic...perfect! Especially while watching The Graduate! Cheers!
whatstheofficerproblem Posted June 29 Posted June 29 No one here is going to hold that against you @DooDiligence. A beautiful woman with a beautiful voice. Her performance was the only thing worth watching during the recent god awful superbowl performance by Usher. Couldn't link the video because NFL is being a lil wuss about it.
Spekulatius Posted June 29 Author Posted June 29 @Parsad @rkbabang @ElstonG fantastic stuff now that I am catching up on the thread.

I think it is says a lot about Disturbed that their most rated song is a cover. Saw them at a Knotfest early this year, would love to get that part of the festival back. OG version all the way for me. P.S. Good to see Jeff Bezos doing some moonlighting though

The only song I liked by Billie Eilish until this album was the James Bond theme she did a couple of years ago. But this work is fantastic! Mature, the sounds are experimental and elevated, and 3 or 4 of them are on par with great songs of the past 30-40 years...The Greatest, Lunch, and Chihiro are incredible standouts! Cheers!

Your Mom and I are probably from the same era. The Kinks influence can be seen in all rock bands that followed from Neil Young with Crazy Horse to Nirvana. Here is a mash up to show how The Doors’ (another great band) hit Hello I Love You was influenced by the Kinks song All Day and All of the Night. https://youtu.be/XSPQFD4FzZQ?feature=shared Edited July 1 by boilermaker75

The Kinks were part of a number of groups that influenced and developed rock music...including punk, grunge, heavy metal, etc. Included in that group, were The Who, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Iron Butterfly, Budgie, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Steppenwolf and Judas Priest. My uncle listened to Elvis, while I grew up on the Beatles and Rolling Stones. I eventually moved on to the guys above, including The Kinks. The problem with The Kinks was that they would break up every other week! These groups considered hard rock and precursors to heavy metal, also heavily influenced the development of Punk Rock...which of course led to Grunge. Cheers!
