Shawn Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 (edited) Ian Gillan always has a unique way with words. A cunning linguist indeed. A master of many tongues... He wrote some hilarious stuff for Born Again, including... "Grey and plastic retards all floating in circles..." "...where the heroes gather by the river with their magic and their music as they eat raw liver" Lyrics to No One Came below... Deep Purple - No One Came Lyrics Maybe it's because I'm only starting That I think it won't take too long Maybe it's because I can see you laughing That I think you've got it wrong Maybe I could be like Robin Hood Like an outlaw dressed all in green Someone said what's he gonna turn out like And someone else said never mind Well I was big and bold and more than twice as old As all the cats I'd ever seen I grew my hair and bought a suit Of shiny white or was it cream I shook and shivered danced and quivered And stood on a mountain top No one came from miles around and said Man your music is really hot Well I knew what they meant because I was a freak My throat was tired and worn My pretty face just looked out of place As they poured on the scorn I wrote on yellow paper from a man who was the king He said my boy we'll have some crazy scenes There weren't any scenes at all like he was talkin' about He must've been the king of queens Well I could write a million songs about the things I've done But I could never sing them so they'd never get sung There's a law for the rich and one for the poor and there's another one for singers It's die young and live much longer Spend your money and sit and wonder No one came for miles around And said man your music is really funky I believe that I must tell the truth And say things as they really are But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth Could I ever be a star Nobody knows who's real and who's fakin' Everyone's shouting out loud It's only the glitter and shine that gets through Where's my Robin Hood outfit? Well I've come and I've gone before you wink an eye No one ever cared enough to say goodbye The money's good and the time you have Fun and games galore But you spend your money and lie in bed forgotten And you wonder what you did it for No one came from miles around And said man who's he?

AndrewHill Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Pharoah Sanders - Black Unity Although I chose Tauhid (mostly for Sonny Sharrock) Black Unity is excellent too. The twinned basses of McBee and Clark at the beginning of 'Black Unity' are absolutely amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baptizum Posted November 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 (edited) There's no Deep Purple. Yep, and no Pink Floyd, no Nick Drake, no King Crimson, no Zep, no Herbie, no JackieMac...and still no Zappa. I hate to be fatherly even in the forum, it's a full time job with a 18 y/o gremlin around my home, but you see, Baptizum, we that growned up in the album's era, didn't had too much music at hand as you and my son have, so every record we owned, or cassettes, unpayed copyrights, was played hundreds of times. I can sing most of the my favourite vinyls, pops and scratches included, from the first note. So I judge your list as a work in progress...and listen to some other Zappa. WYWH, Pink Moon, and IV would all make top 100 or so. havent heard any herbie (i know i know). king crimson is kinda lol, at least "in the court of" was. im gonna let my noob show here, jackiemac? my list will always be a work in progress. this doesnt mean i dont know all those albums as well as you know your favorites though. but yeah, im fortunate to have access to all the music i do Edited November 10, 2007 by baptizum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewHill Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 "im gonna let my noob show here, jackiemac?" This can be quickly fixed, since most of McLean's cds can be had at midprice. I'd start with Let Freedom Ring, then Destination Out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
