Scott Dolan Posted January 29, 2014 Report Posted January 29, 2014 Bruce Hornsby. Although I still refuse to consider it a "guilty pleasure" since he is a rather astonishing singer/songwriter. Quote
Jazzmoose Posted January 30, 2014 Report Posted January 30, 2014 Beavis and Butthead do America is still the funniest movie I've ever seen. And yes, I'm completely embarrassed by that fact. Quote
GA Russell Posted January 30, 2014 Report Posted January 30, 2014 Writer Willis Alan Ramsey's version would be the original Muskrat Love http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muskrat_Love - for what it's worth! In 1972, I had the Lani Hall record called Sun Down Lady which is mentioned on the Wikipedia page. I still think of the song as her version. Quote

Jerry_L Posted January 30, 2014 Report Posted January 30, 2014 (edited) Writer Willis Alan Ramsey's version would be the original Muskrat Love http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muskrat_Love - for what it's worth! You are correct! And C & T's version was more popular than America's, but somehow I've managed to avoid hearing it for 40 years! I'd like to hear Willis Alan Ramsey's original version, and his other tunes. The CD of his sole recorded album is commanding quite a handsome price on the used market. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJeyGreQYEE That's so mellow I almost nodded out.

danasgoodstuff Posted January 30, 2014 Report Posted January 30, 2014 I've heard his album on vinyl, a long time ago, my memory is that it was nice enuff, and Muskrat Love was the throwaway humorous aside that, of course, was the one tune others picked up on - but that's a pretty faint memory at this point. Nothing I'd pay big $ for, YMMV Quote
Kevin Bresnahan Posted May 19, 2015 Report Posted May 19, 2015 I brought a bunch of CDs into work to rip them for my daughter. I find myself playing the music quite often. The artist? Katy Perry. Sorry to those who hate the stuff but I like it. It might help that she's a hottie... Quote

Sorry to those who hate the stuff but I like it. It might help that she's a hottie... She's smoking hot, but I really don't care for her music. Though, as I confessed elsewhere, my wife got me to listen to Taylor Swift's latest, 1989, and I find it really enjoyable. Teen Pop pablum, but well written and executed. BTW Kevin, check out an artist named Sia. She's written a lot of tunes for some of these new Pop artists, and I discovered some of her latest solo work just a couple of days ago. Right around the 57 second mark she starts going into an almost full-blown Janis Joplin throat shredder. The gal has some pipes on her. And she's 39, but seems to hold her own pretty well within the genre: Quote

Van Basten II Posted May 22, 2015 Report Posted May 22, 2015 (edited) Cover songs , especially when they go far away from the originals, in my collection I have a fondness for a series like Paris Dernière http://www.discogs.com/Various-Paris-By-Night-LInt%C3%A9grale-De-La-Musique-De-Paris-Derni%C3%A8re-En-Sept-Volumes/release/6481101 Besides that, in other spheres than music must admit that I like watching MMA more than I'd like to admit and as a boxing fan I must say they are succeeding where boxing has failed big time.

Van Basten II Posted May 23, 2015 Report Posted May 23, 2015 As a mainstream sport it did but as a marginal sport it is still alive and kickin' (A bit like jazz in a way) , , but a bit like a flea market you can find a few hidden treasures, in my case I just got tired tired of searching for them through the garbage peddlers Quote
Scott Dolan Posted May 23, 2015 Report Posted May 23, 2015 I have seen Riddick Bowe's throwing the WBC belt in a trash can as the most telling point in the history of the sport. Because it was essentially done for all intents and purposes at that point. The heavyweight division, especially. Roy Jones Jr. was entertaining to watch, but he had no serious competition. But, I agree with you, it simply isn't worth the time and effort to wade through all the shit in order to find a lone pearl every now and then. I can't do MMA, though. Quote
