Willie sounds INCREDIBLE for 90 years old. Yeah, a bunch of old rockers. Just like Wingo.

Watch Snoop singing country music with Willie and smoking a doobie on stage!

Wingo used to play stick ball with Willie Nelson as a kid

Good one.

When Wingo was a kid, they didn't yet invent sticks, let alone balls.

I'd say she was in the rock genre at times. Basically transcended genres. Or existed in multiple genres, soul, r&b, funk, rock, pop etc

(pretty sure the Ikette on the left is the one that slept with a bunch of top tier English rockers and who inspired Mick to write Brown Sugar, questionable lyrics in it aside)

RIP. Hopefully she's slapping Ike around somewhere in the afterlife.

Brown Sugar???? No kidding. I did not know that. Fascinating.

You're right. Tina transcended all genres. The early stuff rocked out even, if you employ a macro vision of rock. Many musicologists credit Ike with creating "rock and roll" with Rocket 88.

It was either put it here or start a new thread ... which Tina probably deserves. (Btw, we failed to post an Appreciation Thread for Jim Brown.)

Did you know that Gordon Lightfoot's Sundown was about Kathy Smith, a backup singer in his band (and other bands much to Gordo's anger) and live-in girlfriend for awhile? Kathy Smith was the woman who administered the lethal does of heroin/cocaine to John Belushi

If you were limited to only 10 albums to bring with you on your move to Mars, which ones would you bring?

gavran · Post #267 » by **gavran** » Wed Jun 14, 2023 6:15 am

You wouldn't need 10 album on Mars, you'd die before the first song ends.

Anyway, it is probably (in no order)

1. GnR - Appatite for Destruction
2. GnR- Use Your Illusion 1&2
3. Alice In Chains - Dirt
4. Soundgarden - Superunknown
5. Tool - Lateralus
6. Queen - Queen
7. Alter Bridge - AB III
8. Slash's Snakepit - It's Five O'clock Somewhere
9. Beth Hart - Immortal
10. Perl Jam - Ten

Ah, who am I kidding, I'd just take the 10 "Greatest hits" of these artists, just to cheat the game.

HarthorneWingo · Post #270 » by **HarthorneWingo** » Fri Jun 16, 2023 6:35 am

In no particular order:

1. Derek and The Dominos - Layla album
2. Stevie Wonder - Songs In The Key Of Life
3. James Taylor - Mud Slide Slim
4. Chicago Transit Authority (first album)
5. NRBQ - any album will do
6. CSNY - Deja Vu
7. Ry Cooder - Bop Till You Drop
8. The Blasters - American Music
9. Marvin Gaye - What’s Going On?
10. Gordon Lightfoot - Summertime Dream

Rocket 88. The first rock and roll song written by 19 year old Ike Turner. Named after the Oldsmobile Rocket 88. Shammgod is the great grandfather to the engineer who recorded it at the time.

Deftones have 9 studio albums, this is fairly difficult

But, if you think about it, is a greatest hits album truly a greatest hits album to a fan of a band?

There's always going to be something that you personally just really like, but it may not have the commercial appeal as the other more popular songs and it gets left off. Especially if it's something that wasn't intended to be released.

There's stuff i listen to from Nirvana that is literally dusty ass demo reel level in terms of sound quality and I'll play it over and over again :lol:

No. But if I bend the rules for you, then I have to bend them for everyone. Even I am not allowed to bend the rules.

Fair enough, rules are rules. This is tough
