I have some country on my list as well. Kenny Rogers, David Allen Coe, etc.
Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
I should!
Don't forget the songs from the Grease soundtrack.
Oh, did anyone mention "The Night Chicago Died"?
The Pina Colada song is bound up in my mind with "Afternoon Delight" and "Margaritaville"
Also, Delta Dawn and I Am Woman Hear me Roar, I Never Promised You a Rose Garden, Ode to Billy Jo, She's a Little Bit Country, I'm a Little Bit Rock and Roll, Don't Stop Thinkin About Tomorrow.
I think I might have to head over to brawk....
Papa Was A Rolling Stone?
Was Styx's "Renegade" from the '70s, or was that early '80s?
OOH, good call! 1979
Also good call, Jesse
I thought it was from around that time! I remember sitting in my dad's car with my sister, stepmom, and stepsiblings, driving to Great America for the day and all of us singing that song along with the radio at the top of our lungs. Well, all of us except Dad and Barb--I'm sure they were wincing in the front seat.
Oh, mama, I am here on the lam
And have a hiiiigh price on my heeeead
Lawman said Get him dead or alive
And it's for sure he'll see me deeeead
Bootsy Collins launches world's first online "University of Funk"
Legendary funk music pioneer Bootsy Collins (best known for performing with James Brown in the '60s, and Parliament/Funkadelic in the '70s), has announced that he will soon open "the world's first Funk University for bass players of planet Earth." Classes start on July 1, 2010, and will be geared towards intermediate to advanced level bass guitar players. Snip:
Because a groove is a terrible thing to waste, this sonic learning institution will be unlike anything before, as Professor Collins and the finest bassists in music will unleash an intense curriculum, on the web, for intermediate to advanced funk disciples within the program.
