Jacob Moon's version of Rush's "Lime Light"
Now, "Daisy Jane" by America. Listen to the metronome at the beginning! I never really cared for the group American before seeing in concert many, many years ago. By this time there were just a duo. D**m fine writers and group, IMO.
The Monkees. Yes, they were a group created in Hollywood by Don Kirshner to compete with the Beatles. Silly, slap stick TV shows. As some mistakenly claim they were NOT the 1960's version of Milli Vanilli. The Monkees had talent, but Don and the studio wanted no part of it.
Fast forward to their 20th Anniversary World Tour (in 1986) and they kicked butt! How do I know? I was there. Mike Nesmith (the Monkee wearing the green knit cap or our Canadian friend's call them "toque") wasn't present as he had inherited a large amount of money from his mother inventing "Wite-Out" (for those not old enough to know of what I write, Wite-Out was used to "fix" typewriting mistakes). The 3 Monkees present (Davy , Mickey, and Peter) played their own instruments. The place was rocking primarily due in part to MTV (when they still played music videos) introduced a new generation to the Monkees. There were people at the concert from the teens to their 60's all enjoying the Monkees.
Unfortunately, Peter Tork passed away on February 21, 2019. Peter, my friend, you are sadly missed. I will always remember your smile. Wherever you are currently residing I do hope you and Davy are "rocking the crowds" once again.
RIP Davy Jones February 29, 2012 and Peter Tork February 21, 2019.

Trivia. The singer that we know as David Bowie was born David Jones. He changed his name to Bowie so as to avoid confusion with, popular at the time, Davy Jones.
How about the Jacksons "Heartbreak Hotel" from 1980. Due to legal suit from Elvis' estate the song title was changed to "This Place Hotel". No matter, great song.

Probably around 4.5 seconds longer than most. Not sure if you deserve credit or scorn. LOL!!!
From 1977 the Jackson's "Show You The Way To Go".
Yes, late 1970's. With the tube controlling his voice. "Do you feel like we do?" Remember the part when he says "I wanna f*** you"?
Great song from 1992 Michael Jackson "Remember The Time". Great video too. Damn, I'm getting old.

I'm a amature musician so have to hang in there longer then most I guess. A professional wouldn't have even listened in the first place I'm guessing!
Now, listening to the Verve "Bitter Sweet Symphony". How many realize this song is based on the Rolling Stones "The Last Time" song? Well, it is.

I see (hear it).
Easy one. Billy Joel "This Night" starting at the chores at 1min, is based on what major 18th/19th century composer?

One of my fav Billy Joel songs "A Matter of Trust" from 1986 or the great redo of "Hey Girl" (The Freddie Scott original from 1955) from probably 1997.

Little family action. Dad behind the keyboards and step-mom singing. She really had a voice. Jazz was their thing starting 1978. Remember living on Maui when they'd practice for a gig in Lahaina. Even in 7th grade loved listening...

Nice. Seems there's always that one old woman dancing in the front of the stage.
OK, whom is the blonde in the red shirt? Jouza...

Talking about pieces I've decided to work on, on another thread.....uhgggg. Dad loves Jazz, I'm a "Classical" guy.
just loaded up youtube, this was the best recommendation i saw:
From1977 Bill Withers "Lovely Day". I'm reminded about this song whenever I'm around those whom I love and cherish.
count yourself fortunate for having people you love and cherish!
i'm drinking by myself, in love with myself...and listening to this!

I think there should be a rule here. One should not be allowed to post unless they watched/listen to (from beginning to end!) the previously 3 posts. Just posting what we're listening to is one thing but with millions of different pieces and many different styles, there is SO much diversity. I promise not to post 40min pieces of music! [emoji16] What'd you think?
OK, to make it easier I promise to not post any more Yoko songs.
I actually try to listen to most everything posted in this thread. I've always enjoyed listening to new (to me) music. It often leads me down some pretty cool rabbit holes.

always! give a couple more for effect !!!! i'll never be a socialite...but i'll always be a homebrewer!!
edit: and i'm not sure if i like this, sounds like dope music...but it's what's playing on youtube
edit #2: in fact it irritated me, so i switched to this!!!
Dope music? Interesting take. Listening to it I wonder if they were, to some degree, influenced by Kraftwerk.

My daughter is going to see her in March this year. She's pretty awesome!
hopefully, your homebrewing will teach her self respect...and keep her off drugs!! which would bring me back to the demon, this is what's playing right now....
was watching a video about social media, and seeing nice cars, so was reminded of...and had to listen to this!
remembered someone wearing paracute pants, because i say slacks are more comfortable then blue jeans....thought of this, and turned it on!!
