Topic: The playlist of 'your year' Posted: December 05 2014 at 07:55 |
||
What is the playlist you would create of your year of birth? I thought we had a topic like that once, but I can't find it. Anyway, I made such a playlist for Perfects.NL last year - included below. What's yours?
Note are in Dutch, up to you if you want to let Google translate them for you In 1973 kwam ik op dees aardkloot, op 25 maart exact 40 jaar voor de geboorte van perfects.nl. Om die band te vieren 13 perfecte rocknummers uit 1973 luide, maar melodieuze gitaren, goede zangers, fijn bas- en drumwerk en hier en daar een op hol gesl*g.n piano. Keep Yourself Alive Queen. Dit nummer moet in een Perfect van 1973 staan, als eerste single en eerste track op het debuutalbum van deze legendarische band. Wishing Well Free Free was in 1973 bezig aan hun laatste dagen. Dit nummer van hun laatste studioalbum laat horen waar Free voor stond, en dat ze muzikaal nog lang niet uitgeboerd waren. Smoke on the Water Deep Purple De grootste hitsingle van deze band. Strikt genomen geen echt 1973 nummer (het is al in 1971 opgenomen en uitgebracht op het album Machine Head in 1972), maar pas in juli 1973 als single uitgebracht. Dream On Aerosmith Ook voor Aerosmith was 1973 het jaar van debuutalbum en eerste singles. Dit nummer was hun eerste grote hit. Halo of Flies Alice Cooper Net als Smoke on the Water al opgenomen in 1971, kwam dit nummer als single uit in 1973 en deed het vooral in Nederland erg goed. Als bassist een van mijn favoriete rocknummers aller tijden. Stealin Uriah Heep Niet de grootste klapper die deze band ooit maakte, wel goud in Nieuw-Zeeland. In deze Perfect vanwege de geweldige zang van David Byron. The Rocker Thin Lizzy Niet de grootste klapper van Thin Lizzy, wel van hun album Vagabonds of the Western World. Niemand gelooft me als ik zeg dat dit nummer is ingespeeld door een trio. Sylvia Focus Niet zo populair als Hocus Pocus, maar wel mijn favoriete nummer van Focus. Heerlijk gitaarwerk, zoals gewoonlijk en een schitterend op elkaar ingespeelde band. Rocky Mountain Way Joe Walsh Niks Hotel California of Desperado, gewoon eerlijke stevige bluesrock van de latere Eagles gitarist. La Grange ZZ Top Hawhawhawhaw dat herkent iedereen die van rock houdt. Enige single uit 1973 van een band die in deze Perfect niet mag ontbreken. Radar Love Golden Earring Grijsgedraaid en voor velen daarom afgeschreven, maar feit is dat dit nummer de Haagse Golden Earring op de wereldkaart zette in mijn geboortejaar. Gimme Three Steps Lynyrd Skynyrd De enige single van het debuutalbum Pronounced Leh-nerd Skin-nerd. Geen grote hit, wel eerlijke Southern rock met een knipoog en prachtig toetsenwerk. Taking Care of Business. Bachman Turner Overdrive. Een lekker gitaarrock nummer, met een titel die weergeeft wat ik het liefste doe aanpakken! |

Now that the Google translator will do the job, I for once grab the opportunity to withhold my own translations . Being not too familiar with the music from the year of my birth, this list is quite short. I cannot keep up with the level of the lists above (and probably below).
So What - Miles Davis Het Jazz Rock/Fusion subgenre stond in 1959 al in bloei. 'Kind of Blue' is een klassieker. Milord - Edith Piaf Het woord 'Zeuhl' was eind jaren vijftig ook nog niet uitgevonden. Toch had pre-Magma Frankrijk ook in deze jaren nog iets memorabels te bieden op muziekgebied. Edited by someone_else - December 05 2014 at 08:30 |

Thanks. When creating this list last year I found out that 1973 was a good year for music, as well as wine. Two of my hobbies in one, that was great to know. Your list isn't bad either, but I have to admit I have to catch up my knowledge of 1969. A nice, and anticipated side effect of this topic, actually.

Not much, but three great ones. I expect, at least, cause I have to check out Milord. I think I know that one, but I'm not sure.

Aw David..... Dead Kennedys and Mission of Burma! Two amazing punk tracks. And Private Investigations is easily one of my top Dire Straits songs. And I probably never told you this before, but I was in a band in high school and we covered "Save a Prayer" by Duran Duran. Wish I had a recording, though our rendition was not worthy of such a pretty song as that.

One to start the album the other to finish it Love both of them, and while I have almost everything Dead Kennedys, I still only own that one Mission of Burma album. Might be worth exploring a tad further methinks. I remember you posting an orangy looking cover art in here a good while back, but it was MoB I'm sure. Something you can recommend monsieur 80s guru? I would've loved to see you perform Save a Prayer.... Sorry but I can just imagine!! Anyway, how about a custom cover job by the rarest of goats? Should be most awesome and perhaps more importantly: exhilarating for the missus which then, hopefully, translates into some adult gymnastics back at the crib. You can thank me later my friend.

Oh my, David... Losing It. That's been a while since I heard someone mention that one.
I just pulled up the lyric sheet, and I think (meter wise) these lyrics would fit perfectly on Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah. A completely random, unexplainable association, but it happened just now. Nice list, there's a lot on there that I know by name only though. More to investigate - may it be a long and cold winter, haha.

re: Mission of Burma - all their albums are pretty good, but that orangey one I posted a while back, "The Obliterati" (2006) is by far my favorite. I would love to get a guitar sound like that, it is sooo raw and awesome with natural tube-driven distortion, and the music just charges forward with a momentum that you would not believe. It's a great, great album that I didn't buy for a long time because I never expected the re-united band to be anywhere near as good as they were in the 80s (I tried their first reunion album (onOffOn) and was not blown away). Boy, I was wrong there. Their other post-reunion albums are also good, but Obliterati stands out big time. I wouldn't mind covering Duran Duran again, though I'm not sure the other 3 guys in the group share my sympathy for their songcraft. We could use more ballads in our repertoire though.

This is the main reason for me being on PA if you can believe that. Interesting but somehow completely useless information served up originally and imaginative Beautiful song though and from my favourite Rush album too. I was tempted to go for Subdivisions instead but it always gets mentioned.

Ok...you see I was convinced that you would be recommending an album from the 80s. Just goes to show that it pays to ask. Obliterati is hereby on my list (the infamous!) I guess I can see some obstacles in pushing Duran Duran into your playlist if the other guys feel about the band like 80% of the entire male population on earth.......but I guess we're different there Steve. Totally in tune with our inner female. You could trash it down though and still keep the balladry vibe methinks. It's better than Beth from Kiss! |

Small thing: whenever I read the title to this thread, my inner voice reads out 'the playlist of your rear'
