You Don’t Have To Cry-Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
(1970 TV appearance)
I always loved the acoustic pyrotechnics used in this song:
the use of harmonics (the guitar chimes…)
the cowboy style boogeying meshed with jazz treatments
And of course: the vocals were great.
I think this recording is better than the album track (I better grab it now, before it disappears!)
You always have frikkin fantastic suggestions @patrie 
thanks
Its supposed to be joy day so heres some Mungo Jerry singing about a once known form of enjoyment
Linger-Cranberries
Great over-tracking of Riordan’s voice to create a harmonic chorus. I could be wrong, but this song appears to follow the John Barry (composer of classic Bond tunes…) rule of music: descending scales are great! Use lots of them.
A famous John Barry song that demonstrates that technique:
My Only Love-Roxy Music
I love the part in the song where the piano (electric piano? synth??) is hammering percussive high notes -was that the handiwork of Eno?
Thanks for having the idea of this topic thread!
I might have thought of it, but I don’t want to be the only one posting on it…
Your very welcome. I just figured for one music can have massive influences in peoples lives and alot of punk music i was brought up on spoke truth about the world to me. Also didnt seem like there was already a thread of everyones musical tastes so 2 birds one stone as they say. 
Hey Little Girl-Syndicate of Sound
The Dead Boys did a cover of this song which was fine; but the original was great too. The drumming on it rules…
Cool, thanks!
Bloody love it when punk bands cover old songs. Here is my dads old ska band (he is usually the singer but Ben the guitarist joins in here) playing the song Hard times by The strange tenants just abit rougher than the original but my fav cover they did.
Woohoo hey Dream! Hope your doing okay.
What Are Words For-Missing Persons
Hope they both learned something from that chapter…
Street Life-Roxy Music
A Top of the Pops performance, which is renowned for lip syncing -but better than nothing.
“…but the good life isn’t won by degrees…”
Flying-Beatles
FM DJs liked to use this song as a backdrop to making announcements; I would cuss them out: “Get off and let us listen to this song! It’s so short!!” The jazz tune was great -and that surreal ending!
And speaking of rock that does jazz:
Third Stone From the Sun-Hendrix
“…and you will never hear surf music again…”
<stoner>“Woah, dude!”</stoner>
That’s awesome!
I’m doing okay. I have scans tomorrow and then a follow-up at the hospital the next day, so I’ll keep you posted. How are you doing?
