"4 - acceptable"

UM, ok.... jeez....

Ok, they can enjoy playing it in their basement. Not in the radio. It just seems like a coffee shop version. Too bad, I don't mind the Jennys.

I'm getting a lot of distortion on this end during drum hits. Anybody else?

...no, it really wasn't.

Andalusia, with fields full of rain...
I have to see you again and again...

Makes me wanna dig out and play

when the still sea conspires

The most overplayed song in the universe ... beside Eagles "Hotel California". -.-

Obviuosly you've never been. Keep your comments to yourself. Figures you would give 99 luftballoons a "10" Why don't you start using again you're probably more tolerable that way.

Most people wise up when they get "clean and sober". :)

Who are you...the Sissy Boy defender?

I have no idea what this means.

This is why I listen to Radio Paradise. Yeah, right.

The dudes a poser.

the song and all ska should be banished from earth

Quite right, my thoughts exactly...totally monotoneous.

Beatles sound-alikes

This crap is wasting my valuable music listening time.

John Mellencamp's cover waayy better.

His profile adds more-VOLUMES more

your name says it all

F-off.
Sincerely,
A Hippie

Yes, but just like paint-scraping, it's sometimes necessary. :)~

it's so...Debbie Harry

Spacey set, both outer & inner

Please play Bowie more often, and R.E.M. less often...thanks!!!!!!

It's a good day now.

Mute (bad song on a great album)

Stop please

Its not that the new versions are hard wired, they simply don't stand up to the originals. Enough of this CD Bill, play the originals please.

Need to get rid of...

Didn't like it then... Don't like it now. If I can play guitar better than this (and I can) then it must be bad!

And maybe all version of this song suck!

What the hell does this song mean?!? I have listened to it a million times and I can't figure it out.

(Still like it though)

Feed your head ?
What the hell does that mean ?
and why the dormouse is recommending this ?

Everytime I hear this song I'm reminded of that great book "Fear and loathing in Las Vegas" :)

I never did get this song.

A bit down beat - sounds like it needs revving up a bit - I feel like the 'Jerk' can't quite click my fingers to this!

God damn, make it stop already !Repetative and boring!

I think that's too much analyzing for a pop song.
but the accent & double standards theory is interesting though

Towards the end it's drama-rama!

The Phoenix Symphony did this as their last show for the season, and I couldn't resist catching.

An amazing piece to hear, both here and particularly live.

And when did physicsgenius change branches of science?

SO overplayed.

Just once I'd like to hear Bill play Ice, Ice Baby, just to give all the RP purists near-heart attacks.

From Emmy Lou Harris to Prince. Can't possibly go from Godlike to Barfo anymore than what you just did.

Dude,

Quit being such a tree hugging sissy boy.

Ugh, I thought there was one place on earth I could avoid this song. Not even close to his best, I have no idea why so many commercial stations recycle this thing.

Another one that takes me back to high school!

The song's appeal is timeless. It's about the disconnect between political leaders and their imperial ambitions and the young people who go off to fight to fullfil those ambitions.

There may not be a draft anymore, but the disconnect from reality is still there. I'm saying this as one who intitially supported the war in Iraq, but now feels utterly betrayed and lied to by our nation's leaders.

Help!

I'm caught in the disco scene in Perfect Dark.

I'm rootin' for White Snake myself

I am also mystified.

Wish this band would hurry up and find a singer!!

Must be your roots. All of CCR hailed from El Cerrito, CA--next door to Berkeley in the East Bay.

BTW, "Midnight Special" predates even Huddie "Leadbelly" Ledbetter's versions. Fascinating article at (click here)

Gotta big urge to see Cool Hand Luke.

Deadheads are sort of like Scientologists. They're too far gone to realize how much time they've
wasted on inferior dreck. To even suggest that
the Dead "own" Not Fade Away hints at the depth
of the problem...

I think he was referring to the audience's use of recreational pharmaceuticals. . .

Go ahead and flame me, but this song isn't Buddy's anymore. It is owned, lock stock & barrel by the Grateful Dead.

Is this a bnl cover, or does it just sound a lot like a bnl song?

Guilty pleasure. Pure and simple. 7

What a nice Irish-ey set this was....Church, Pogues, then Proclaimers. Nice! Thanks, Bill!

I've always liked this song!

While Orion is a constellation and there are deep sky objects that you can find using the stars in Orion, I have never heard the term "Bars of Orion" (nor, apparently, has google, aside from references to this song). Moreover, while the picture you show is part of the Orion Nebula, such structure is completely invisible to the naked eye. The nebula that you show in that picture appears as little more than a single point of light if viewed with the naked eye.

So. . . ummm. . . count this as one more vote for "bars of a rhyme."

Doesn't hold up like the Cure does.

Aretha could snap that guy's baguette in half with a flick of her mighty wrist.

You might be thinking of "Games People Play" by the Alan Parsons Project. I can kind of hear that in the bassline, though it seems only vaguely related. I like this one (and APP too).

Man this band gets alot of airplay

Sounds like cats fighting.

No, sorry. Sounds like a couple of cats tied to a raccoon and then thrown down the stairs. Whilst fighting.

Just call me Janis. Please.

his voice sounds like jerry lewis imitating eddie vedder

Is this their Freebird?
or Inna-gadda-divita

Jeez - what's going on? An acid flashback?

I beg to differ, friend.

I applaud these guys because they have the balls to speak up!

Glorified is going a bit far.

It's amazing that with the similarity in sound between them and the Dead that I really like them and cannot stand the Dead.

About the only The Smiths/Morrissey song I can stomach.
The Smiths, DM, and The Cure almost ruined 80's music for me. More specifically, their black nail polish-sporting, Doc Marten-wearing, clove-smoking mascara-encrusted, angst-ridden superfans did. Ugh. Turned me off to a lot of music I might have otherwise enjoyed "new".
Looking back, I can appreciate the music more now without the "social noise", but it took 2 decades to get here.

I was too doped-up and into other stuff & different music. I saw the black nails & mascara etc & went off. Never gave the tunes a chance. Took about 15yrs for me to get my head outta my ass

CRAP-wrong click on the playlist - I'm gittin'goofy

SOUNDS goofy, so goofy that with the mandolin it deserved an 8; may upgrade it L8R

Whatever Dude...what standard are you talking, yours or RP's?

Arcade Fire - Ocean of Noise
Death Cab For Cutie - Transatlanticism

VERY NICE

FREEZE, GET YOUR HANDS UP!! Squeal as the tires spin. ZZZZZZZOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM. Boom, Boom, AAAHHHHHHH!!(screams of pain as the bullets tear through his flesh). Screachhhh!!! CRAAASSSHHH!!!! Moan....Croak.....Sigh...Dies with satisfied look in his eyes.

You mean the ones Saddam murdered?

There is so much rich culture why must we spend so much time on the Christian Bible. Small minds seek comfort in the familiar. This is the kindest sentiment I can muster. The fact is I find great evil has been promoted by those of promulgate irrational thought and allowed by those who embrace it.

it's good, but just a little too...before my time....to appreciate.

Like what ya like, and tell 'em all to take a hike.

I imagine a bumbling detective chasing thieves through Cairo after they heisted a pyramid.

Ugh. Yep - it's still a 1. Although it might be good if I was already in a coma.

OMG!!! It sounds like the Six Million Dollar Man running!

Canada is more real (read = sane) that the United Snakes. Remember who won the War of 1812. Hell, our troops in that conflict were even able to take and occupy the White House and eat the dinner that had been prepared for the President. Not even Osama has managed that. Further, the UN has repeatedly ranked Canada No. 1 on a list of the best places to live in the world.

kinda like "blown to bits"

Very disappointing. Was RP bought by ClearChannel?

Of all the LR/VU that exists, THIS is what is played? :(

Yes, VERY little!



K

Anybody else hear 'Tusk' at the beginning of this song?

...people are strange.

Throaty voice is throaty!

This sounds like old ABBA...

didgeridont!

how can you hear those drums and not think of Ballroom Blitz?

Please don't do that. It ruins the page.

I live and breathe music, everything from Chopin to Cannibal Corpse; Flatt and Scruggs to Keoki. But I just can't dig the Beatles. To me, this sequence sounds schizophrenic, disjoint, and heavy handed. I'm left without anything to hold onto here--neither soulful confession, nor any sort of sustained groove, nor orchestration I can enjoy.

I appreciate that they've got more talent in a pinky finger than I'll ever have in my whole body. So don't think I'm dissin'.

There are a few tracks I like, but I hear something like this, and think, "Is this it? Is this the story that's written into our very DNA?" I guess that part of me is a lizard.

-PL-

Woo Hoo!

I was afraid to say that - are you & I the only two folks here who have ever even HEARD of that awful 'song' from circa 1995?

truly, the strangest set of music i've ever heard on RP. is the end of the world nigh?

Ah, never really liked it when it came out originally, still do not.

Personal preference....

i feel bad that i am one of the few who despise this song (and the who, in general).

gets a 1 from me. i would have said its a 2 or 3, but because everyone hammers how great it is, i just find myself adversely affected.

i'm not sure if ever in the history of RP a track's ever been pulled out of the rotation right in the middle of the song. if not, this would be a good candidate for first ever.

Inconsequential then, boring and inconsequential now.

serious middle aged insects

Holy crap this is bad!

"When the Indian-Asians, Afro-Kelts -- it's in their blood below the belt.
They're playing and dancing all night long,
So what've they got right that we've got wrong?"
<...>
"I've lost St George in the Union Jack,
It's my flag too and I want it back!"

Nicely put. The lyrics are a plaintive cry for a modern Englishness for all people in England, not the backward-looking reactionary Englishness so prevalent in the barking Press and broadcast media. A nice bit of modern folk. 8 from the Nottingham jury.

SUCKS


Please. we heard this too much on AM.

Please please, some mercy

boring and boring - sorry to not go along with the masses on this one. Overplayed and boring.

This getting to much airplay....IMO
I never was a fan of heavy rotation.

Ugh, this is terrible. There's a place for incoherent mumblings in great music. But the music is terrible as well. It has nothing interesting to hold it.

Oh, cripes, I just got to the 'chorus' (come-a come-a come-a... come-a ...) Eeeeeee.

Make it stop :(

I'm just wondering at this point in our music evolution, or devolution as some might argue, how a band can not be derivative to some degree. Everyone is so quick to dismiss a band for sounding like any previous band in the history of music. Hell, saying that sounds like the Beatles or Velvet Underground covers 90 percent of current rock/pop. You don't have to like a band, but dismissing on grounds of similarity to someone before is rather goofy don't you think.

I can never get enough of Mark Knopfler and Dire Straits. I can't decide whether I like his lyrics, vocals or distinctive guitar work best.

Yep, it's good to hear more 'obscure' Doors numbers rather than the usual over-played stuff (Light My Fire, The End, etc). This is excellent and doesn't sound dated at all, and I love the honky-tonk blues background - nice ivory-ticking :)

Why do I feel obligated to give it a 10 to offset the people who are voting Arcade Fire down for being media darlings? What's wrong with catching a few critic's ears?

I guess what I'm saying is there's just no way this song should be a 5.9 as I type.

With so many amazing Who songs, we have to hear this one??

defenestration is so underrated . . .

I loooove this lad insane!

crap. Gave it a 1.

Nice song but isn't it getting a lot of air time ?

Um, NYY96, you are supposed to be buying the music - not just downloading it for free!

As far as obtaining the music in a legal manner, click on this link to Amazon.com. It is fairly pricy at $23.99, however. But you could elect to buy a previously used copy on the same Amazon.com web page.

By the way, Amazon.com pigeonholes this music as World Jazz . I wasn't sure what to call it either. I did like it a lot myself!

That would be cool to see. I have never seen a good women guitarist before. Is there such a thing?

call me a philistine - I SO DON'T GET IT. To me: annoying, overly long, and inpenetrably insidery guy-ish.

Stevie Ray might have listened to a little Robin Trower...

I really hate this song. The only Talking Heads song that I like is "Road to Nowhere."

I don't wanna have nightmares today, shut her off man

I agree!!
Please! Play other Floyd tunes!!

I'm glad I was in the other room when I heard this song :puke:

or play with them

Finally, someone I can agree with. I love how you rate every Dylan song a 1. Thats what I do also. I don't even take time to listen to it. You and I would probably be good friends.

PLLLEEEZE! NO MORE BOB! ALL GOD'S CHILDREN HATE BOB :-)

NOT THIS ONE !

ok, this is original - but a bit too much of everything to be something, no?

I like Dylan and all, but it seems like there has been a lot of him on RP lately. Maybe a bit much?

Interesting - give it a 5 for trying. Was not a fan of Prince/TAFKAP until later years but I prefer his to this

Oh grow up, you big baby!!!!!

Hmmm...

Intro sounded a bit pop-ish.

Too early to rate, but sounds somewhat promising.

Simple but clever album art.

...a great Who song

I am going for pills....

...No accounting for taste...

this deserves a 1. It is so deppressing. I mean any song that starts out as I hurt myself today doesn't deserve to be played.

This song reminds me of something Genesis might have put out in the early/mid 80s. Paul Simon reminds me of Peter Gabriel in that they both try to mesh pop music with world music.

Ain't been no peace in the world since about 1912 or so. Since then there's been a war raging somewhere or another. If you check, you'll find that today there are somewhere around 30 nations actively at war with each other. This figure varies a bit, but not much, from year to year.

...facciamoci riconoscere, eh?

People, if you come to Italy, try humming this tune and see what happens.

Did he say "God"?? Then of course, this song and this artist should be banned!!! There is no place in our society for religion! We have separation of Church and State! Someone could be offended!

Crap.

This guy used to be good...back when he was all messed up on drugs and booze and not such a freakin' socialist downer. Hand over the barbituates, please.

uhm, even though it sounds Morrison-esque and all, since when was Paris in the East?

Is this supposed to be good????

It's very nice. ... .... ...?

Traffic was the first and last "Supergroup".



Kids!!! Ever hear of BLIND FAITH? Ginger Baker's AIR FORCE(debatable as a 'supergroup')? Crosby, Stills, Nash, Young (in many varied incarnations) There are even better examples, just can't git-to-em right now

What the?!...please stop - John and George are doing 360s

Lame ersatz jazz fusion with no point.

Your assumption does not follow from the facts, nor is it correct by chance. In all seriousness, check out the music from Buck Bumble. Nearly identical. Really.

I've already rated this a 1, why is it still playing?

i sometimes feel i'm in a billy corgan fan club of one member.

at least i can be president....

Domino or Waller?

riiight upbeat and bluesy.... terrible crap. dude get to a club! have a drink ..hit on some lonely women... this is the sht.

That would be pretty silly since those guys are Hindus.

Sounds like he's trying to emulate the great Jorma, don't it?

This may be the original, but Foghat put some fire into it.

Then go back to listening to ABBA.

I want it, I want it....more Who please!

Holy burn, Batflamer. Hats off.

welcome to Radio PLAYLIST!

Reaching for the dial, er, uh, mouse...

I'm quite sure it's about hypocrisy in general and it has nothing to do with mental illness.

Casio keyboard "demo" program. From the mid 1980s.

The writing for this song is so great, I even enjoyed Adam Sandler's version of this song. It takes a very talented songwriter to pull off that trick, don't you think?

Did Traffic steal that riff from "Your Time Is Gonna Come" by LZ or vice versa?

I wish I coulda been a hippy.

Well, silly, you obviously don't know your Mexican wrestlers!! That's a man to be feared!

Maybe it's true that you can be too old to rock and roll, too young to die.

Wasn't this the default thing to play on your desktop when you were trying to impress your friends? Since it requires nothing other than a single tom, anything'll do.

Really though, the drummer's quite good - he keeps the rhythm in the characteristic thrumming steady, but jeezus the rest of the song changes beat a zillion times. Characteristic of a band that doesn't quite have it together yet :)

HOT DAMN! It's time to dance!!!! There's always room for Sly.



The only thing that could make this better is if you follow it with "If You Want Me To Stay."
