ROCK 'n' Roll Halls of Fame

Amethystos I like a lot of your picks more than I like many of my own

I have exactly one girlfriend my age that would love this whole thread. And she also loves Scooter, Basshunter and stuff like that but otherwise I can't ever connect musically with most anyone else around my age....everyone seems to be so stuck on Linkin Park, Rihanna and so on. I suppose that's why I'm enjoying this thread so much, there's an amazing amount of great music that most of my acquaintances hardly even know exists

Thank you Teshka.
The same way I like "To the moon and back". I feel it must already be considered a "classic".

Taste in music, consists the less significant factor when you're picking someone to be your friend.
If only there were enough people to simply ... communicate.

This song had to wait for a good 14 years period (and also change it's title) before it transforms in the way we loved it!

Man! That "14 years later" (a FINE rendition) made me forget who originally made the song a hit.

I'm in complete agreement there, absolutely. But, maybe in a rare golden moment, music can be the key that opens the door.

Had to knock a lot of dust off of this one:

1986:






1967. One of the finest masterpieces of Rock Music ever written.

... Maybe I need to start a list of everything that gets posted in this thread. I just got the feeling that somebody... moi?... already posted one or both of those songs...

I'm thinking about creating a Table, like one of the samples below. It would be too long to edit into my first post on Page 1. But I could put it at the top of Page 10, or whatever. Then I could add an annotation in Post #1... "Song Index is on Page 10" ... like that.

If this sounds feasible, I have a few questions to throw at you folks:

-- Alphabetize by Song? or Artist? or just list songs by Page/Post# like I have it below?
-- Add a column for Album name?
-- Include Year or not? We may get it wrong every now and then.

Even more exotic; this is how I indexed a thread that I started some time ago...
http://www.allthelyrics.com/forum/sh...d.php?t=136127
Each song title is a clickable link. But that was a lot of work. We already have roughly 200 videos in this thread.


Examples (I'll delete these later to reduce the clutter):

Artist/Band	Song	Year	Page/Post#
Queen	We Will Rock You		1/1
Dire Straits	Walk of Life	1985	1/1
ZZ Top	Can't Stop Rockin'	1986	1/1
George Thorogood w/Bo Diddley	Who Do You Love		1/1
Buddy Holly	Rave On		1/2
Bill Haley & the Comets	Rock Around the Clock	1954	1/2
The Diamonds	Little Darlin'	2004	1/2
			1/2
Danny & the Juniors	At the Hop	1957	1/2
Chubby Checker	The Twist	1962	1/2
Martha & the Vandellas	Dancing In the Street		1/2
Elton John	Crocodile Rock		1/2
Dire Straits	Sultans of Swing	1985	1/2

... Or I could do it this way (alphabetized by Artist):

Artist	Song	Year	Page/Post#
Bill Haley	Rock...	1954	1/2
Buddy Holly	Rave On		1/2
Danny & the Juniors	At the Hop		1/2
	Rock 'n' Roll Is Here To Stay		1/2
the Diamonds	Little Darlin'	2004	1/2
Dire Straits	Walk of Life		1/1
	Sultans of Swing		1/2
Elton John	Crocodile Rock		1/2
...	...

We've posted 185 vids.
I've already created an xls with columns having the band names, song names and page number.
I didn't include the year and I also didn't add the "The" before band names.
If you want it tell me to upload it and give you a download link.

Eventually there'll be double posted vids; need some work to add a link to every post btw .

You've done a great work with the other thread btw.

Love that video with 'Your Wildest Dreams'.

Amethystos I wonder if Moon guessed that you would already be ahead of the curve on indexing this thread? I've noticed that you've used tables in several of your posts.

I would go with NOT linking songs bcs that could easily be too much work.

It may be a few more hours before Moon can respond.

I stumbled on this (my #1 fave by the Beach Boys) after browsing Oldies/Country/Rock, etc etc etc, so now the 'recommendations' on my youtube page are an omelette with lots of extras....plus the cover with Lorrie Morgan (a girl's take) was right after that in someone's playlist....

That thread was one of two 'hooks' that Moon uaed to encourage me to sign up on ATL and the other hook was a thread for Kamelot song lyrics. My favorite symphonic metal band, along with Nightwish and Queensryche.

Download link: YES? PLEASE!

Link every post? I agree, "too much" work. So nope, at least not right away...

Thanks. For just 3 pages it was easy. Piece o' cake.

This is mine. The bass-vocal-harmony just gets all over me:






But this one's probably the most popular of all their hits:



Released as a single in 1966; included on this album 11 months later:



"... [V]oted number one in the Mojo Top 100 Records of All Time chart in 1997
and number six on Rolling Stone's list of the '500 Greatest Songs of All Time'...
[and is] part of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll list."

Green = Correct
Red = Wrong

Yep, all Correct.

The original, released as a single in 1967::

Now, someone mentioned Nightwish here. Was a big fan when I was younger.
And I am once again. Absoloutely LOVE how new singer, Floor Jansen, sounds with the band. This is just one example, an epic performances.
