Music Thread: Croc-Monsieur?

They don't have Crocs in France...this is the best I could do!

But they do have lots of other stuff that Garrett would like.

***
New Wave? Rock? Post-Punk?

I don't know, and don't much care, since those labels mean very little to me. But I do know that their music evokes lots of fun memories, and when I hear a Cars song almost never skip it!

***
Damned if I know much about them other than their hits, but this is an excellent song... Faces -- Ooh La La. Their pedigree is impressive, and Rod Stewart's voice is fun.
***

Banjos, violins, and...what's that? An Upright Bass? Even Buck Throckmorton would like this stuff!

***
One-Hit-Wonder Warning!

But it's a good one.

Good, solid, Rock and Roll! I love the groupies hanging out in the background, sitting on the band's motorcycles. And... do I see a tube top?

***
Van Morrison -- Wild Night

Nothing more to be said about Van Morrison. Great music.

Yes, he is a political lunatic. While I like what he has said about Covid-19, he is also a bit of a Jew-hater (he fits in well with the Irish government and, sadly, lots of Irishmen), and exposes the sad truth about most artists: they are pretty much f*cking retards about everything else besides their art.

Just shut up and sing/act/write!

***
I am not a fan of Pearl Jam, and I think Eddie Vedder is the quintessential idiot celebrity who thinks his thoughts on topics other than the best guitar pick are of some value. But I like this song. I have no idea what it's about... it is barely intelligible, although the guitar work is nice.

Eddie Vedder -- Rise

***
Of course, I think this is the true Eddie Vedder, and a clear explanation of his thought processes.

Got all the tree limbs and caragana from the back of the pickup burned in the burn barrel; some of the thicker hunks will burn quietly all night.

I love discovering new music, and just start with things that are outside the mainstream. I assume if the music industrial complex is producing it, it's not for me.

I know some people just want to stick with what they know, and have known for a long time, and that's fine... as long as they aren't the same folks saying "nothing good is made today."

Yeah there is.

101 >>Good song and video - but that’s why I never could respect kid rock, he completely rips off Warren Zevon with that piece.

Skynyrd too. I don't think it was so much ripping off as celebrating the songs of his, and for mine for that matter, youth. Wasn't a secret, he gave the writers for both credits in song writing.

Just a fun summer song for me.

I was really thinking about the YouTube video about the old guy who was drinking only PBR on lunch break. They could tell because of the cans in his pickup bed. The guys ask how much is he getting paid that he can only afford PBR. Foreman won’t say. Foreman does want to write him up because he was drinking on the job. The rest of the crew will have nothing to do with that, because this old man is a charity case. Cut to the old man saying Pabst Blue Ribbon is the best beer in America, and he felt like king of the world and loved working on this job. Couldn’t find it, sent you the hard hat ad instead.

Posted by: exdem13 FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT at May 24, 2025 08:04 PM (XjTSo)

ummmmm...they were huge before MTV. Their first album can literally be relabeled "Greatest Hits", as basically seven of the nine tracks were (and still are) in heavy rotation on the radio stations across America (the other two also got "deep cut" airplay back in the day.) I'd also say 6X Platinum (better than Heartbeat City's 4X) meant they had plenty of buzz from the jump. Candy-O from '79 was also huge...

Here he is in a small club, killing it:

183 "Sad Eyes" by Robert John is one song I just can't listen to.
It's a real downer. I don't hate the song but I don't want to hear it.

184 Compared to a couple of decades ago, music is heavily produced. What you hear never really happened in real life. It is a construct. It takes a lot of talent to make something as profound in real time.

The music has been sculpted in the studio by a bunch of acoustic mechanics using all kinds of digital tools.

Listening to it is a much more intense experience but that is what is needed to break though to people now.

186 The Cars…thought they were “punk” when they first came out. But then discovered the nuance of “new wave”. Was a Zep, Aerosmith, AC/DC, fan in my teens with a liking for Freebird, Kashmir,and Green Grass and High Tides Forever played averyday at noon on the LA radio stations while we were hanging at Huntington Beach. If we had the cash, we were having Perry’s Pizza too!
As with most adults, our tastes change. Dangerous Type is one of my favorite songs by the Cars.
They were actually good.
I curse Grunge for choking out some very good Metal bands in the late 90s.
Please reference XYZ…

187 Sorry, early 90s.
Late 90s were devoid of tolerable music.
If you disagree, GET OFF MY LAWN!
