leemond2008 Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 I don't commandeer this thread anywhere near as much as I used to but I thought this one was worth it massively underrated old Gil Scott was I played a few songs for one of my mates once (off his 'I'm new here' album) and my mate text me the following day saying 'I've been searching all over for that dude that you played me last night but I keep getting pictures of a giant **** chicken' it ends up that for some reason he thought Gil Scott Heron was called Foghorn Leghorn 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xann Posted May 11, 2017 Author Share Posted May 11, 2017 Loleatta Holloway - 'Love Sensation' Acapella I'm usually ok on who nicked what from whom, but had no idea this vocal had been so thoroughly rinsed. Top Of The Pops lied! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted May 12, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted May 12, 2017 (edited) New Big Thief single is decent. Their last album was fantastic. And this Slowdrive track is ace. Love shoegaze at times. Edited May 12, 2017 by PieFacE 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted May 12, 2017 Moderator Share Posted May 12, 2017 Here seems as good a place as any. One for the Moon man @mjmooney. Are you not in Dublin this evening ? 5 times Bob Dylan was upstaged by other artists singing his songs Quote Ahead of his gig in the 3Arena tonight, we're looking back on five times other people stole the 2016 Nobel Laureate's thunder. Bob Dylan plays Dublin's 3Arena on Thursday night, giving Irish fans another chance to see the greatest songwriter of them all up close and personal. For almost 60 years, Dylan has been writing and performing some of the most important songs in the history of popular music. Never the greatest vocalist, his voice often thin and reedy, some of his best work has shone brightest through the performances of others... 1. Knockin' On Heaven's Door The Guns N' Roses single shot to the top of the Irish charts in June 1992, with the Los Angeles quintet showing that blues rock was far from dead. To modern ears, this is the song that comes to mind when you mention visiting God's gaff, but Dylan actually wrote the song in 1973, for the film Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid. Though his version reached No. 12 in America, we can't help but prefer Axl Rose's roaring chorus. 2. Make You Feel My Love Long before Adele and a host of others brought this song to a global audience, Mr. Zimmerman cut a 1997 blues version. It was notably covered by Billy Joel and Drumcondra's most hated man, Garth Brooks. 3. All Along The Watchtower The best guitarist of all time and the greatest songwriter of all time was always going to be a decent combination. Less than a year after Dylan released All Along The Watchtower in 1967, Jimi Hendrix released his era-defining version, brimming with energy and the roar of generational rebellion. 4. Mr. Tambourine Man California rockers The Byrds, one of the leading bands of the 1960s, got their breakout hit from Dylan, reaching No. 1 on both sides of the Atlantic. A definitive example of the folk rock explosion in the late 60s, Dylan cites 8½ director Federico Fellini as an influence for the lyrics. 5. Wagon Wheel (sort of) When the Old Crow Medicine Show were searching for something new, multi-instrumentalist band member Keith Secor found an old bootleg discarded by Dylan when he was writing for Pat Garrett in 1973. Expanding on the lyrics Dylan had written, the result would become a huge hit, being covered years later by Darius Rucker and redefining the drunken culchie party piece. And even though I'm not particularly fond of that Adele song, by Jesus does it get stuck in your head even by saying the name of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 (edited) The battle between the guitar slaying master that was jimmy page and heroin addiction. This different angle of this song from knebworth showcases how heroin had deteriorated jimmy page not only to look at him but also his playing. But like the rock n roller he was he battles on in true jimmy page style. For how good this band could be live they also could sound like shit, but page always took the risks even though at times he could never quite execute what he was trying to do. By the late 70s his playing was far from great but I just love his sloppy playing on the edge style and was far more interesting to listen to than a lot of guitarists. From 3.32 he struggles with what is imo his best ever solo he laid down for a song but in a weird way it just seems to work and you can see the pain in his face whilst battling with the guitar.
