pjb13.bass Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 [quote name='Old Man Riva' timestamp='1437169458' post='2824272'] I'm going to stand my ground with Crazy Horses. Along with Run Run Run by Jo Jo Gunne is was as heavy as anything in the charts that year - and yes, I suppose you could argue that it was rendered null and void by Little Jimmy Osmond's effort that year, but, yeah, I'm standing by Crazy Horses!! [/quote] I couldn't agree more. Crazy Horses is a great song. I'm pretty sure Alex Harvey used to a version of it live, but then he used to do a version of Goodnight Irene as well; a true rock n' roll eccentric. When I was in a NWOBHM, (remember that?), band in the late 70's we used to do an Osmond's song called 'Life Is Hard Enough Without Goodbyes'. We dropped it because we got so much stick for it. I can't really remember that much about the song but it must have been pretty rocky for us to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassman Sam Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 (edited) [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfAWReBmxEs[/media] I was 14 when this came out and it blew me away. It still gives me goosebumps when I hear it. Edited July 17, 2015 by Bassman Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobthedog Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 (edited) I listen to and feel so much music of all kinds. Here are three that come to mind today: [url="https://youtu.be/r9jmusgMgro"]https://youtu.be/r9jmusgMgro[/url] [url="https://youtu.be/3DuCIGvsbMA"]https://youtu.be/3DuCIGvsbMA[/url] [url="https://youtu.be/YJfqte3NurI"]https://youtu.be/YJfqte3NurI[/url] This last one was new to me in 2012 and I still shake at the beauty of this.

alyctes Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Hard to remember that far back, but Focus's 'Hocus Pocus' must be on the list: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGaVUApDVuY Not a favourite now. More recently, The Mutton Birds' 'White Valiant', which remains one of the creepiest songs I've ever heard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqFoRIj0Wzc And this... so fragile: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_JIHVicWsI and this, which will be played at my funeral: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yl9-8RudQXk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Bassy Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 This one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r91LsW--Prk Not only did it stop me breathing, it started me on a life time of following this band and its successors, and it still sends a shiver down my spine to this day - especially when heard live.

visog Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Great thread... Enjoyed everyone's choices... I'll go with three: first and old one with the much missed Chris Squire being supremely musical as ever: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-rdL2KkvzY Godlike tune. Great melodies. In terms of harmony, this fried my head - the great Jimmy Johnson on bass: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2HlyupMt8A And here's a wild card for anyone looking for something melodic but different: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gU9CvQztcrI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassman Sam Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 There is so many tracks that have been posted that fit the OP's post that have made me change my mind. This might be due to a bad memory but then again I get the " I loved that track but forgot about it." I really wish we had a like button so I could like others choices. It would give interesting stats. I voted against against the like button when we had the choice but maybe it would be time to review it. I know it would give the mods a nightmare though. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderpaws Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Led Zeppelin, Immigrant Song. First LZ song I heard, bought second hand on that old black plastic format from a second hand record shop in Edinburgh called Vynil Villains when I was about 13. Used to get a bus and a train to get there with a school friend when we were at school. Bought it because I had heard of some band called Led Zeppelin and this had the best album cover and got home, stuck it on and heard those first bellows from Robert Plant. .......... AH Aaaaaaaaah Aaaah. AH Aaaaaaaaaaaah Aaah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deep Thought Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 http://youtu.be/0P3lhrwio-M Bumped into my mate in town, who told me I should go and buy 'Doolittle', I wouldn't regret it. Took his advice and he was right, this opening track blew me away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Rock Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 (edited) This Chemical Brothers mix of a Spiritualized song. It's pretty long and doesn't kick in properly until about 3:30 but I remember hearing it for the first time and stopped what I was doing to just listen: http://youtu.be/lZ8bfsL-awY Edited July 24, 2015 by Roland Rock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the original is pretty much untouchable - bass line is such a simple/tasteful/clever one. And the lyrics are so good... and when the gospel chorus kicks in at the end, well.. If you like that kind of sound you'd probably enjoy some of Death in Vegas' stuff.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
