Ok, time to come clean :lol:

Every one has at least one or two tunes that they secretly dig in the closet so to speak. Come on admit it :!:

who better to fess up to than your GN pals, we won't laugh, "trust me"

I'll get this started with:

Wild Cherry-Play that funky music
The Monkees-Stepping stone
Ohio Express-Yummy Yummy Yummy, Chewy Chewy(God help me)
Cowsills-I love the Flower Girl, Indian Lake

Monkees - great songs actually, even when I happen to hear one on the radio nowadays.

Cowsills - that exact song. It's one of those things that instantly transport me to a particular summer or fall in '67 or so.

Most of those mid 60s Flower Power type songs - I don't remember them until I hear them. Brings back a time of innocence and blood I guess you might say; the idealism and the reality.

I just looked some up:

The Left Bank - Just Walk Away Renee
Van Morrison - Brown Eyed Girl
Joe South - Games People Play
Paul Rever and the Raiders - Kicks
The Seeds - Pushin' Too Hard

Wow (or rather, "Oh wow man...that's trippy....")

Lemon Pipers - Green Tambourine

Just reading the names and titles bring it back!

Ok, I'll come out of the closet.

I like a lot of Neil Diamond songs. John Denver too.

Now shaddup before I have to crack you over the head with my Black Sabbath albums! :lol:

I love the Seeds, the quintessential punk rock band from the sixties, rough, simple, heart felt and not over produced

Gotta luv e'm

There was a lot of great stuff from the sixties--the dog

Wang Chung -- Everybody Have Fun Tonight
Maria Muldaur -- Midnight at the Oasis
The Mamas and The Papas -- Creeque Alley
Sailcat -- Motorcycle Mama "... if the chain don't break."
? and the Mysterians -- 96 Tears
Eric Burdon & War -- Spill the Wine
Beatles -- Why Don't We Do It in the Road and For You Blue
Tim Curry -- I Do the Rock "Rockne's pretty Knute you know -- I could never whack a ball with such velocity."
Richard Harris -- MacArthur Park, truly sux, but I listen anyway

and agree with Green Tambourine and Walk Away Renee

Hey srcogdog, those guys wrote and performed some good tunes

The cool thing about the 60's was you could listen to the same radio station and hear Neil Diamond, Electric Prunes, The Beatles, Johny Cash, The monkees and Sabbath, and The Partrige familly on the same block of songs-

MacArthur Park - man we had to do that song in a...(soft drumroll) disco band I was in. We had it charted out and it was like four pages wide. Felt like one of the musicians in that Mickey Mouse cartoon where he's conducting the orchestra - sweatin', leaning over the music, hair falling over eyes.

Speaking of disco - I still love the bassline of Disco Inferno

I like a lot of Neil Diamond songs.

My wife has been a fan ever since he waved to her and her friend after the end of a concert in Leeds, errrr, several years ago now.

I've had to spend an arm and a leg buying 2 tickets to see him in Manchester in May (I live in Germany).

I hope I survive the experience.

I might just have to fork out whatever is necessary to get 2 tickets to the Cream reunion, in revenge !!

by **scratchmonkey** » January 20th, 2005, 12:16 pm

Reunion -- "Life is a Rock (but the radio rolled me)"
The Bangles -- "Walk like an Egyptian"
C.W. McCall -- "Convoy", "Black Bear Road", "Wolf Creek Pass", and "The Ol' Home Filler-up and Keep on Truckin' Cafe"

I may deny any of this if confronted in public.

by **olive** » January 20th, 2005, 6:08 pm

New Kids on the Block--pretty much any song they sang. Apparently, little girl crushes die hard. :oops:

Song currently on the radio that I always crank up and dance to--Snoop Dogg--"Drop It Like It's Hot" Too much pop music at work is damaging my brain.

Okay, I like Smashmouth.
Norman Greenbaum's "Spirit in the Sky".
Who did "In the Year 2525"? "Cherokee Nation"? Always liked those.
And I think some of Shania Twain's stuff is all right.

Zager & Evans

"Cherokee Nation"?

It's called "Indian Reservation" by John D. Loudermilk

Aways gives me a shiver when Susanna Hoffs sings "Walk an E-gyptiannn." just before the solo break.

Glad your memory's better than mine!

I forgot to mention "Incense & Peppermints" by Strawberry Alarm Clock. Love that one too.

Whoever it was that did "Rocking In The Free World" (some people will crucify me for this as I know it's either Neil Young or Bob Dylan, two people with huge fanbases on the board) - it reminds me "Imitation Of Life", only not as good.
