dagies Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 A couple of tough "H" choices but I doubt we'll have too many chances to give a nod to a female headliner so let's have a Heart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn-O Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 This one was a no-brainer. One of the best songs of all time. Seven out of ten high school band directors agree! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EBMo8xHGNs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seven out of ten high school band directors agree! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EBMo8xHGNs I was already thinking of that song if I got "I"! Love that one. When I moved to the Cities in 1988, there was a group that played the hard rock bars here called the Speed Kings. They were a fantastic show. They put out a CD and had at least a couple of killer original songs. Never have been able to find one though. Ok, I need to go find a J.....

dagies Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 So many choices, can only use 1. So, to hear one of my favorite Billy Joel songs, why don't you meet me down at an Italian Restaurant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

82SiouxGuy Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Can another old guy play? A lot of great choices for L, but this is one of the great party bands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dagies Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Can another old guy play? A lot of great choices for L, but this is one of the great party bands. One of my top handful of best songs ever. Along with the Doobie's "Black Water" no matter what my circumstances I always feel good hearing it. Ok, I really wanted Angry Eyes by Loggins & Messina (hey, why should Messina be cheated because Loggins' name is first?) but couldn't find a youtube vid. Great song. But, it's such a great day today (at least in Mpls) that I think I'll give a nod to Mungo Jerry since it feels so much like In The Summertime.

82SiouxGuy Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 And now for something completely different. This wasn't nearly as easy as the last one. But these guys were really popular and are back out on tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dagies Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Back to the A-Z, in the late 70's my brothers and I painted houses in the summer during high school/college in a little town in NE South Dakota. Our little transister radio only pulled in KFYR out of Bismark. Certain songs can pull you back to a certain place, time or activity. This song by Poco takes me back to warm lazy prairie summers and....paint. We didn't paint In The Heart Of The Night but this song still takes me back to the smells, sounds and feels of that time.

Siouxmama Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I dont know how you guys get these songs off of YouTube, but can I put in a request for "R"? Redbone...Come and Get Your Love. Kinda like listening to KFYR's Padres Platter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dagies Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I have a Temptation to go one way and then another on some of these choices. Then I have so many options I end up in a Ball of Confusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choyt3 Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Call me an interloper if you wish, but I could only think of one band that starts with 'U'. ***edit*** Well, there's also U2, but I refuse to acknowledge them as "classic rock". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn-O Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 This song peaked at #15 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1979. Hard to believe these guys have been at it for almost 30 years...where does the time go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dagies Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Ok, so no one wants to take a stab at X? I wonder why. I'll take a shot. I'm going to pervert the rules, so feel free to give a game DQ to this suggestion. I couldn't come up with a 70's band/artist that started with X. So I thought, hmmmmm, maybe we go with a guy named xirdneh imij (if you look at his name in the mirror) and play something from one of his very last shows. This selection is from a show in Copenhagen just a couple weeks before his death. Jimi Hendrix Playing Copenhagen, Sept 1970. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
82SiouxGuy Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I vote to accept your entry (because I couldn't find anything that worked). Shawn-O, would you like Y or Z? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I could come up with was this, and I don't know if that officially would qualify, either. XDreamysts More Xdreamysts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
