ace

went to get lunch and the place was playing the pandora "tom petty station"

current song: life is a highway

ugh, one of my all-time most hated

that kind of bullshit is exactly why i don't fuck with pandora

Are we ready to do this poll again yet? Because my life has felt so empty these past two weeks.
Obviously, Gr8080's got the artwork all prepped and ready.
Also, Michael McDonald, I do not enjoy listening to you but as a human being you are ace.

co-sign all if this

"Black Water" is cool, don't need to hear it every day but solid groove, kind of my go-to pick for before-and-after Doobies as microcosm for early vs. late CR. Y'all kinda sold me on "Woah, We're The Doobies Now" instead, but "Black Water"... just fine. Maybe the acapella thing goes on a few too many rounds and becomes showoffy rather than a delightful change-up in the mix.

Shit goes on for like 90 of the longest seconds of your life.

"The Doobie Brothers - Black Water (Love and Light Dubstep Remix)"

wondering if it's worth the energy to sit and chop up WAV files to make the funky dixieland acapella the basis of an entire 40-minute "concept" megamix

DOOBIESTEP!

lol

YES, IT IS

nope

crüt OTM

cool, well based on my track record with these things i should be done in five-six years, revive thread then if you dare

Just got back from a long-ass driving trip, listened to cr throughout the east/midwest. Heard "Behind Blue Eyes" seven times. Not complaining, but jeez, I'm pretty sure they recorded a few other songs.

Also, that acapella bit in "Black Water" is the worst and least defensible occurrence of music in all of human history.

"It Keeps You Runnin'" just came on the radio...forgot about all the Rhythm King action.

so....i don't know WHY anybody would go into the Spotify playlist of the top 500 songs and deleted over 300 songs, but they did. thankfully, I had the full playlist backed up elsewhere and have restored it, and the playlist is no longer collaborative since apparently I can't trust people to not fuck with it.

it's kind of a flaw w/ spotify imo

seems to happen w/ any big poll playlist

i can't even figure out a plausible motive for doing that in the first place. why bother? i only made the playlist collaborative in the first place so that people could add songs from the top 100 rollout if i was posting results on my phone and couldn't update the playlist myself. so i have no prob w/ turning off the collab option, could've done that earlier.

I just looked at that playlist and now it's completely empty, 0 songs.

my assumption is that ppl make the (very easy) mistake of thinking that once they "follow" a playlist and it appears in their list of playlists (under MY MUSIC) it is a version that only they see

anyone else having that problem? i put in 469 songs over an hour ago and that's what i see there right now. xp

Hmm, strange. Restarted Spotify, no help. Could you repost the link to the playlist?

I miss this thread so much.

I need to start a separate Sandy's Stories of CLASSIC ROCK thread

THIS MUST HAPPEN.

^ this, or maybe a revive of one of the other classic rock threads ... ILM sadly in need imo

you know I mostly hate Kiss but "Strutter" is a badass song & it's a pity it's not a CR staple

Strutter is awesome, it's true

You both deserve to give yourselves a round of applause--let's go!

(different song, I know but still )

Kiss has plenty of really good songs, but they seem like a dumb band to get really fanatical about. Also, Gene Simmons yuck.

I love Kiss -- but they are a bit like the Eagles for me in that they have tons of singles that I love but their non-singles, for the most part...peeeeeyew. Like, AVOID.

I don't know if you can see it but I have drawn "Paul Stanley of Kiss" on the chalkboard in the grandparents' kitchen.

Or started to draw him, anyway.

<3

omg
so cute

Haha, I love that you titled it "Paul Stanley of Kiss" to avoid confusion.

my next door neighbors had one of those official "Kiss makeup" sets and I went over to their house all excited for them do paint my face like Ace Frehley but they painted my face like Peter Criss and I was SO mad. I came home crying and Mum was very confused by the whole thing. "But you like cats..."

This is not a picture of my wife, but back in the 70s she and her neighbors dressed up in these KISS costumes for halloween one year.

(or possibly early 80s)

YES I was Paul Stanley of Kiss for Halloween for a couple of years with the same terrible mask and plastic bib combo.

Unfortunately I can't find the picture of me wearing a Def Leppard Pyromania baseball shirt and sporting DIY Kiss makeup, but anyway, when is that hair metal poll again?
