6 months ago I didn't know what the song was called or even who it was by, but "Lido Shuffle" ended up in my top ten

This poll is getting weird. I'm not feeling good for about 70 of my remaining 77 unplaced songs.

i never really bothered w/ boz beyond "lowdown" but this poll has made me love this track

I think I've always been unfairly biased against Boz Scaggs because my aunt, who was 12 years older than me and pretty much the epitome of cool, always made fun of his name. I voted for Lowdown anyway because that song rules.

I joined this band once, and as an "introduction", gave them all a mix CD of some songs that kinda shaped what I play. Not saying my life was changed by Boz Scaggs or anything, but I threw that one on there since I like the intro.
I was already the Mick Mars of the group, having been born in the Nixon years while they were all Carter children and subsequently, I earned the nickname Lido. But it's cool, they were all good dudes, and besides, Lowdown probably has the better intro anyway.

I'm sure to be in the minority here, but I find the 'woahs' in Lido to be the best part

I kind of feel that way about the Oos and Ahhs on Back On The Chain Gang.

when the synth drops in its a nice surprise
― °ㅇ๐ْ ° (gr8080), Thursday, 31 July 2014 14:24 (nine years ago) link
Oh the woahs are essential. Almost as essential as the shuffle itself.
― some dude, Thursday, 31 July 2014 14:24 (nine years ago) link
also i'm a big fan of shuffles that have "shuffle" in the title but it never appears in the lyrics

When I ran cross country in high school, my friend and I would frequently skip our runs during practice. We'd buy slurpees from 7 Eleven and walk up and down nearby Panama St. One of use would bust into 'Panama' every time. Then we'd run through a sprinkler and jog back to school.
― David Schramm (Sufjan Grafton), Thursday, 31 July 2014 14:29 (nine years ago) link
I will have to check with our research department, but I am pretty sure no future members of Toto were involved in the recording of this next song...

Lido even got play on "Urban" stations. Not sure how many other times on this list so far that's happened, unless you want to count the time Rerun tried to bootleg a Doobie Bros show.

I already voiced my appreciation for this, but having slept on it, I just wanna say that I think this is my favorite thing that I have read in this thread full of wonderful things so far.

I love origin story songs, and I now wish Long Train Running was a song about how the Doobies formed and became successful, a la "Rock and Roll Band"

Clapton rots but I still voted for "Layla" and a Cream song. there's no class in classic rock.
― Euler, Thursday, 31 July 2014 15:16 (nine years ago) link
Sabbath was never adequately represented on radio. At least terrestrial radio, they are all over Sirius' Boneyard and Liquid Metal stations today. Im the biggest Sabbath fan ever and Im sick of Paranoid.
Layla is the worst song of the album that shares its name.
― Prince Kajuku (Bill Magill), Thursday, 31 July 2014 15:19 (nine years ago) link
I consider that a Duane Allman alb
― Prince Kajuku (Bill Magill), Thursday, 31 July 2014 15:20 (nine years ago) link
Sabbath is probably the biggest band with the largest catalog that only has one album as far as classic rock radio is concerned
― some dude, Thursday, 31 July 2014 15:21 (nine years ago) link
Voted for this, the outro is still gorgeous, mostly because of Duane's slide.
― voodoo chili, Thursday, 31 July 2014 15:21 (nine years ago) link
"Layla" is the only song I can tolerate on that album. well, I guess I wouldn't rather jump off a bridge than hear "Bell Bottomed Blues"...usually...
― Euler, Thursday, 31 July 2014 15:21 (nine years ago) link
the greatest scream ever screamed
this is obviously true about "won't get fooled again," and i used to sit through what seemed like 25 minutes' worth of the rest of the song waiting for it, and of course the "new boss/old boss" bit is essential, but "fooled again" otherwise does little for me. my least fave song on one of my top five cr albums.
and speaking of foolin, where the hell is def leppard's "foolin"? sigh.

That actually makes me wonder if any Def Leppard will make the poll.

kinda shocked "lonely is the night" hasn't shown up yet had no idea ILM rated squier so high
― resulting post (rogermexico.), Thursday, 31 July 2014 15:24 (nine years ago) link
My Clapton votes went to Bell Bottom Blues and Badge per someone's write-in campaign. I wish I could hear Layla as though I were listening to it the first time. I think I would like it a lot but as it stands now, there's too much cultural baggage and it just leaves me flat.
