Brownian Motion Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 What with all the recent valentines being tossed in the direction of such disparate musical luminaries as Lawrence Welk, Ray Anthony, and 101 Strings here in the Organissimo Forums, I decided it was past time for a thread where each of us can unload our dirty little musical secrets. I like the singing of Glen Campbell, specifically the Jimmy Webb-John Hartford material that he recorded in the late '60s or early '70s. Even the sugary strings and blaring horn sections can't disguise the quality of the songs and the sincerity of Campbell's delivery. Next. Quote

DukeCity Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 I have a couple of Jackson 5 songs on my iPod. I enjoy the occaisional Country Top 40 tune. Oh...and I killed a drifter once, just for his trucker gimme cap. next...? Quote
CJ Shearn Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 Enigma the j-pop/r&b of Hikaru Utada and Namie Amuro remixes of video game music Quote
Joe G Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 I like Patty Loveless and Iron Maiden. :rsmile: Quote
Aggie87 Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 I like Patty Loveless and Iron Maiden. :rsmile: ← Was this a one-off performance, or did they do a whole tour? Quote
Noj Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 I like the Mizell-produced Donald Byrd album Places & Spaces. A few Bobbi Humphrey tracks too. Quote
Joe G Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 It was the Monsters of Whaaaa??? tour. Also on the bill were Burning Spear and Arturo Sandoval. Quote
fent99 Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 ELO were an early love I still enjoy. Mike Oldfield too, Ommadawn especially Quote

Even the sugary strings and blaring horn sections can't disguise the quality of the songs and the sincerity of Campbell's delivery. ← I'm that old. And I agree. Okay... here goes... the last time PBS ran the documentary on The Carpenters, I watched it... the whole thing... and... I... enjoyed it. I'll go for the hat trick: I also dig a lot of Andy Williams' old Columbia stuff. BTW, this thread is right along the lines of these: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...uilty+pleasures Quote
BruceH Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 I've always enjoyed The Challangers, a surf instrumental band. I don't see anything wrong with this, but some of my friends do. Quote
Brad Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 (edited) How about "I was Kaiser Wilhelm's Batman" by Whisting Jack Smith. A favorite from the 60s. Surely, someone remembers that. Also, Rolf Harris' "Tie Me Kangaroo Down Jack". I even bought it on iTunes! Edited November 3, 2005 by Brad Quote

Surely, someone remembers that.← No, can't say that I do. Nor do I remember "L. David Sloan" by Michelle Lee or "Loving You Has Made Me Banannas" by Robert Q. Lewis. I can't remember a damn thing.

Brad Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 Jim, It was all whistling. Pretty amazing. I actually found it recently on Limewire. Play it once in a while. My son just shakes his head. Quote
DTMX Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 I can't dance - and have no desire to learn - but Deee-Lite's Groove Is In The Heart makes me want to try. Oh, and I've got about 90% of a Frankenstein monster built in my garage. If I can catch just one more hobo, I'll have it completed... Quote
Jim R Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 Also, Rolf Harris' "Tie Me Kangaroo Down Jack". ← "Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport" Ah, that takes me back... to a time when I had no idea what the hell that song was about! I still don't. Quote
.:.impossible Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 Where was there talk of Ray Anthony? My grandfather loves that guy. Ever heard "Dirty Trumpets"? You should see my grandfather dance to that! Love it! I'm not ashamed of any of the music I enjoy. Quote
Brad Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 Also, Rolf Harris' "Tie Me Kangaroo Down Jack". ← "Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport" Ah, that takes me back... to a time when I had no idea what the hell that song was about! I still don't. ← As 50 plussers, we're obviously dating ourselves Jim. Quote
Jim R Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 I'm not ashamed of any of the music I enjoy. ← Good point. I'm really not either, it's just fun to act like it sometimes. People should be comfortable with what they like, and not be afraid to admit it... unless of course it's the Monkees. Quote
