    oops, she's po'ed at me already......

    If it helps, the %$#@'n Bruins and Blackhawks both have been killing me all season, and I sense a similar letdown by the former Whalers tonight.

    So, more song ideas:

    Earth, Wind&Fire: "September"
    J. Giels Band: "Love Stinks"
    Albert Lee "T-Bird to Vegas"
    Lonnie Mack: "long Way from Memphis"

    Mr. Shrek, no harm, no foul. I'm not a huge hockey fan anyway.

    Hot Rod Lincoln - Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen (had to look that up)
    Little Honda - Beach Boys

    Obscure enough for ya?

    OK, since we're now digging up the obscure, how about "Surfin Bird", by the Trashmen. :laugh:

    Now for some other rather lengthy tunes:

    Carousalambra - Led Zeppelin
    Space Truckin' from "Made In Japan" - Deep Purple
    Inna Gadda Da Vida (Live Version) - Iron Butterfly
    Fool's Overture - Supertramp
    Funeral for a Friend - Elton John

    Some others:
    Tempus Fugit, Long Distance Runaround, Starship Trooper - all by Yes
    The entire Frank Zappa "Live at the Fillmore East".
    Sister Awake, (Remix version) - The Tea Party, they're a now defunct Canadian trio.
    Sober, 46 and 2 - Tool
    And I have a CD of Led Zep songs done by a symphony orchestra, it's kinda cool to listen to, no singing, just music. :TU:

    Keep 'em coming, lots of interesting musical tastes. :beer

    Well, a good big band/swing album can be nice. There is a band around here, The New Reformation Jazz Band, that is excellent. They've got a young guy playing clarinet that is a dead ringer for Benny Goodman and he plays that good (or better!)

    Here's my "out there" list:

    PKM "Don't Take Much"
    Glass Moon "Killer at 25"
    Genesis "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway"
    Tito Puente "Dance of the Headhunters"
    King Crimson "Easy Money", "Cat Food", (pretty much everything they ever did actually)
    Saxon "Wheels of Steel"
    Alice Cooper "No More Mr NIce Guy"

    Or this classic from my senior year of high school-
    Accept "Balls to the Wall"

    (Listening to that some 22 years later, I have come to realize that was one STUPID-ARSED song.)

    A few more good ones

    I thought of some more tunes:

    Pigs, and Sheep - Pink Floyd, Animals
    Coconut, and Jump into the Fire - Harry Nilsson
    The Wizard - Uriah Heep

    Here's a forgotten tune . Jeff Beck : Beck's Bolero has a great ,late '60's guitar sound. Anything with Jeff Beck and Robin Trower sounds great .

    "Blow by Blow" was arguably Beck's best work (featuring the classic "Constipated Duck").

    Here's a list of what music would at least summarize my life to date:

    Bob Seger "Beautiful Loser"
    Sarah McLachlan "Train Wreck"
    Delbert McClinton "Why Me?"

    and the one that I'm surprised nobody else has mentioned:
    Dennis Leary "A$$hole"

    Kevin, are you trying to tell us something? :grin:

    I won't even try to summarize mine!

    Here's a thought: while driving and listening to this great music, does anyone else think they are invisible and start singing and doing their best rockstar impression? And then you pull up to a light and suddenly realize that the people next to you can see you, or the guy in front of you is watching in the rearview mirror?

    I hate it when that happens! :Dou:

    Gold '71 '71 GS, Cortez Gold

    -- "Master of Puppets", "Fade to Black", and "Fuel" -- Metallica
    -- "Antisocial" -- Anthrax
    -- Almost anything by ZZ Top
    -- Almost anything from Van Halen (pre-Haggar days)
    -- Almost the entire sountrack from Eddie and the Cruisers (John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band)
    -- "Paranoid", "Iron Man", and "War PIgs" -- Black Sabbath
    -- EVERYTHING from AC/DC
    -- Many, many Ozzy tunes (the solo years)
    -- "Sweating Bullets" -- Megadeth

    There are many more, but I will stop right here.

    Well, the "beautiful" part may be a bit if a stretch, but I don't think there's a somg that's titled "south end of a north bound moose-ugly loser" (but I could be wrong), everything else is pretty accurate.I remember some of your other posts, I know you've had a rough ride as well.

    Now what's REALLY embarrasing: doing the karaoke thing in an open convertible........

    20 years later it's still good music. Saw them about 3 years ago when they headlined a benefit concert in Rhode Island for "The Station" (the nightclub that Great White burned down in Warwick), great show, but can't figure out why Great White wasn't invited back...........

    How about:
    One eyed, one horned, Flying Purple People Eater (Sheb Wooley)???? :laugh: :rolleyes: I doubt you have anything to be worried about!

    Yes, it's a bit more obvious in the convertible! It's easier now that everyone talks on a cell phone while driving. At least you can try to cover it up by pretending you're on the phone.

    "I Used to Love Her, But I had to Kill Her": Gn'R
    November Rain: Gn'R
    That song Metallica does live with the Philharmonic Orchestra (sorry, Metallic fans, having a brainfreeze and don't want to google it)

    And very occasionally, the original Beastie Boys stuff can be fun (only VERY occasionally).

    download the free songs at www.metalelvis.com and click on Video N song to download these free songs.

    This guy name is Shawn Klush (look on youtube for material) is hired by the Elvis/Graceland family and is allready 2 year touring around doing Elvis Tribute concerts with the orginal background singers (not all the time etc).

    He won the price Greatest Elvis impersonator during the US and BBC held contest, and I got tears in my eyes when I watched him perform on tv.
    He can all do the Elvis numbers and style 50/60/70, and he gives it the Elvis flair also.

    He has never been to our country, but comes frequently to the UK for concerts, the UK is nearby but is/was always very expensive to go to for us.
    I have to check it once more to see if I can go to a concert.

    Maybe hookup with some UK Buick members while I'm there, hey perhaps one of them lives nearby!
    He his performing in London 2 times in august and in Wales in September.


    Sorry for the chatter, I just love this guy! :beers2:
