The Sunnylaw Jag Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Always loved the Rainmakers, have quite a few of their albums and that was one of my favourites off the first album. Thank you. Next up Tommy Keene, who I first came across as guitarist on some Matthew Sweet albums. This is from one of his solo albums 'Isolation Party' , 'Long Time Missing' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Roe4a9ANzP8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Jukebox Rebel Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 This came rushing straight to the top my head so it can't be ignored. Bringing the carnival of Monsterrat to the whisper it's the "Superstar of Soca" with his big hit from '84... ADVANCE WARNING ALERT : The first man to speak on this video is the biggest twerp who ever jocked.

Rid Skwerr Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Continuing my mellow mood (or depressed after Sunday's game, maybe) here is my favourite version of Dylan's song Tomorrow is a long time. (not "such" a long time, as labelled) This is from the very wonderful Rod Stewart album Every Picture Tells a story - remember a time when he was actually good? As a wee bouns, the toon comes with a video of pictures of Newfoundland - a place I've never seen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nW_lCvNEBp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda-jag Posted December 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 (edited) another fine excuse to put these young glasgow rockers on the jukebox. single that never charted from 2011. glorious track. paint smashingly messy video. time for you to stand up ..... twin atlantic http://youtu.be/nhYROHNSIGM Edited December 3, 2013 by yoda-jag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sunnylaw Jag Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Night Ranger reformed a couple of years ago and released the 'Somewhere In California' in 2011. The stand out song was the raucous 'Growing Up In California' followed closely by this power ballad. Yep. 'Time of Our Lives' would easily slip into the soundtrack of 'Rock Of Ages'. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7F5FzHBTc90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sunnylaw Jag Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 I think the only way to describe this is Progressive Pop! British band Voyager with 'Sing Out - Love Is Easy' to give it, it's full title. Perfect Pop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rid Skwerr Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 ...and now for something completely different (from the last thing that was completely different) Some pretty neat guitar picking from big Gabby Piccolo's compatriots, Rodrigo Y Gabriela Here's their version of the ancient Dave Brubeck classic Take Five http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0b6O1o67CXU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sunnylaw Jag Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 Dinosaur Jr. frontman J. Mascis performed this for the great film 'Grace of My Heart' which is about a Carole King type artist played wonderfully by Illeana Douglas. The character supposedly creating this on screen was a Brian Wilson type genius played by Matt Dillon . .I think. Plenty of theremin on it methinks. (Too lazy to check facts tonight). The song is 'Take a Run at the Sun' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda-jag Posted December 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 angelfish was a short-lived mid-1990s scottish alternative rock group, formed as a side-project to goodbye mr mackenzie (with 4/6th's of gmm), after keyboardist and backing vocalist shirley manson was signed as a solo artist to circumvent the mackenzies' existing record contract. angelfish released a single selftitled studio album and two singles of which the first was an ep for minor college radio hit "suffocate me" the music video for "suffocate me" was famously aired once by mtv, where it was seen by garbage co-founder steve marker, manson was asked to join garbage, and accepted. the angelfish side-project was dissolved, while goodbye mr. mackenzie continued on for another two years without manson. from the angelfish album, this is the sun won't shine the sun won't shine ..... angelfish http://youtu.be/oR9waFeaM7w Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jukebox Rebel Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 ^^ Martin Metcalfe is one of the most underrated songwriters Scotland's ever had. The MacKenzies were magic. Next up, another of my "perfect 10'ers" from 1968, an impeccable recording. Not entirely convinced with those dance moves mind...

yoda-jag Posted December 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 (edited) at the age of 14 in 1964, he joined spencer davis group. a year later they had their first hit. a decade followed of being part of sdg, as well as traffic and then blind faith. turning solo in 76, a decade later he released his (may the) fourth album, and this was the albums title track (with an extra word added). back in the high life again ..... steve winwood scrap that, forgot i also have this, here is warren zevon doing a cover of it, from his life'll kill me album of 2000, a few years before he went to the great band in the sky http://youtu.be/Mo3lxKrjABE eta: ^^ Martin Metcalfe is one of the most underrated songwriters Scotland's ever had.

Rid Skwerr Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 There are lots of live videos of this track, but I far prefer the album version for two reasons - !) the sound quality is much better 2) you don't have to see the ugly bugger..... So enjoy some crisp rock'n'roll from 1976 - Wild Side of Life from Rod Stewart http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_nN0UGgdQ0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rid Skwerr Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 More Faces just to remind us what rock'n'roll can sound like and this live recording is, apparently, Ronnie Lane's last outing with the band - all of forty years ago....

The Sunnylaw Jag Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 The Rubinoos again with 'I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend'. There was an out of court settlement over this one with Avril Lavigne, as the chorus of her 'i Wanna Be Your Girlfriend' was a bit too similar.

yoda-jag Posted December 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 for this next artist, they were on a high, having released three multimillion selling albums, and the first recording sessions for their fourth album took place in march 2003, but were mostly unproductive due to passive aggression between the band members, and a general lack of direction. as they struggled to create the album, the band quietly split for four months starting october 2003. they reunited in march 2004, and following a guest appearance by dave grohl on this track, the band found a renewed focus on production, and completed the album by the end of 2004, and released april 2005. reviews of the album (entitled bleed like me)were mixed, and critics complimented the new sound but found the album inconsistent and at times outdated. but it's another good excuse to bring shirley manson back into the whisper bad boyfriend ..... garbage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sunnylaw Jag Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 TKO were like the band New England, in that they signed to new label Infinity that went tits up almost straight away and were left in limbo for a few years without a contract. This is from their 'Let It Roll' album, which is well worth hearing as it sounds quite British influenced by bands like the Who, UFO and Queen. The song is 'Gutter Boy' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Jukebox Rebel Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 From "Spanking Machine" away back in 1989, I never quite knew what Kat was banging on about but I just kinda loved the energy... the line "from my dumb mouth to your deaf ear" was quite memorable in this one mind you...
