Takin It To The Streets - The Doobie Brothers (1976) djbuddyloveclassicrr 2011-08-18 | "Takin' It To The Streets" was the title track from the sixth studio album by American rock band The Doobie Brothers, released in 1976. It was the first album to feature Michael McDonald on lead vocals, and the single peaked at #13 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart. By late 1975, touring was beginning to take its toll on the band, especially leader Tom Johnston. Things became worse during touring in support of "Stampede" when he was diagnosed with stomach ulcers. His condition worsened and several shows had to be canceled. With Johnston forced to reduce his involvement with the band, the other members considered just calling it quits, but while in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, member Jeff Baxter suggested calling up friend and fellow Steely Dan graduate Michael McDonald, who at the time was between gigs and living in a garage apartment. McDonald was reluctant at first, feeling he was not what they wanted, but he agreed to join them and met them at the Le Pavillion Hotel in New Orleans where they moved on to a warehouse to rehearse for the next two days. Expecting to be finished once touring was completed, McDonald was surprised when the band invited him to the studio to work on their next album. The Doobie Brothers have sold over 30 million albums in the United States from the 1970s to the present, and were inducted into The Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2004.

Hold The Line - Toto (1978) djbuddyloveclassicrr 2013-12-03 | "Hold The Line" was a song written by David Paich and recorded by American rock group Toto. The song was the band's first single, and was featured on their debut eponymous album. The single reached #5 in the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart during the winter of 1978--79, and spent a total of six weeks in the Top 10. "Toto", released in 1978, was the first studio album by the group, and also included the hit singles "I'll Supply The Love" and "Georgy Porgy". Although not initially very well received by critics, the band quickly gained a following, and the album gained a reputation for its characteristic sound, mixing soft pop with both synth and hard rock elements. At the time of its release, the lineup of Toto was: Bobby Kimball (lead and backing vocals); Steve Lukather (guitars, lead and backing vocals); David Paich (keyboards, lead and backing vocals); Steve Porcaro (keyboards, lead vocals); David Hungate (bass); and Jeff Porcaro (drums, percussion). The members of Toto were regulars on albums by Steely Dan, Seals & Crofts, Boz Scaggs, Sonny & Cher, and many others, contributing to many of the most popular records of the 1970s. Keyboardist David Paich, son of musician and session player/arranger Marty Paich, rose to fame after having co-written much of Scaggs's "Silk Degrees" album. Having played on many sessions with drummer Jeff Porcaro (the son of noted session percussionist Joe Porcaro), whom he met while attending Grant High School in Van Nuys, California, Paich began to discuss seriously with Porcaro the possibility of their forming their own band. They brought in bassist and fellow session veteran David Hungate, having played with him in the backing band for Boz Scaggs. In addition, the duo asked guitarist Steve Lukather (who also played in Scaggs's band as a replacement for Les Dudek) and Jeff Porcaro's brother Steve (keyboards) to join the team. With the addition of former S.S. Fools singer Bobby Kimball, the group began to work on their first album in 1977 after signing with Columbia Records. Once the band came together, David Paich began composing what would become their eponymous debut album, "Toto". According to popular myth, in order to distinguish their own demo tapes from ones recorded by other bands in the studio, Jeff Porcaro wrote the word 'Toto' on them. Band members told the press that the band was named after the dog in "The Wizard Of Oz". Several changes to the band's lineup have been made over the years, including many different lead singers. Jeff Porcaro died in an accident caused by a heart attack related to his cocaine use on August 5, 1992, at the age of 38. In 2008, Lukather announced his departure from the band, and the remaining band members later went their separate ways. In the summer of 2010, Toto reformed and went on a short European tour with a new lineup, to benefit Mike Porcaro, bassist for the band from 1982 until 2007, who had been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease) and is no longer an active member of the band. The band has released a total of 17 albums, and have sold over 35 million albums to date. The group was honored with several Grammy Awards over the years and was inducted into the Musicians Hall Of Fame in 2009. On the 5th of November 2013, it has been confirmed both on Toto's and David Paich's official Facebook pages that a new studio album is in the works.

I Robot / I Wouldnt Want To Be Like You - The Alan Parsons Project (1977) djbuddyloveclassicrr 2012-06-23 | The instrumental title track "I Robot", together with the successful single "I Wouldn't Want To Be Like You", form the opening of "I Robot", a progressive rock album recorded by The Alan Parsons Project and engineered by Alan Parsons and Eric Woolfson in 1977. It was released by Arista Records in 1977 and re-released on CD in 1984 and 2007. It was intended to be based on the "I, Robot" stories written by Isaac Asimov, and actually Woolfson spoke with Asimov, who was enthusiastic about the concept. However, as the rights had already been granted to a TV/movie company, the album's title was altered slightly by removing the comma, and the theme and lyrics were made to be more generically about robots rather than specific to the Asimov universe. The cover inlay reads: "I ROBOT . . . THE STORY OF THE RISE OF THE MACHINE AND THE DECLINE OF MAN, WHICH PARADOXICALLY COINCIDED WITH HIS DISCOVERY OF THE WHEEL . . . AND A WARNING THAT HIS BRIEF DOMINANCE OF THIS PLANET WILL PROBABLY END, BECAUSE MAN TRIED TO CREATE ROBOT IN HIS OWN IMAGE." The Alan Parsons Project were a British progressive rock band, active between 1975 and 1990, founded by Eric Woolfson and Alan Parsons. Englishman Alan Parsons (born 20 December 1948) met Scotsman Eric Norman Woolfson (18 March 1945 -- 2 December 2009) in the canteen of Abbey Road Studios in the summer of 1974. Parsons had already acted as assistant engineer on The Beatles' "Abbey Road" and "Let It Be", had recently engineered Pink Floyd's "The Dark Side Of The Moon", and had produced several acts for EMI Records. Woolfson, a songwriter and composer, was working as a session pianist, and he had also composed material for a concept album idea based on the work of Edgar Allan Poe. Parsons asked Woolfson to become his manager and Woolfson managed Parsons' career as a producer and engineer through a string of successes including Pilot, Steve Harley, Cockney Rebel, John Miles, Al Stewart, Ambrosia and The Hollies. Parsons commented at the time that he felt frustrated in having to accommodate the views of some of the musicians, which he felt interfered with his production. Woolfson came up with the idea of making an album based on developments in the film industry, where directors such as Alfred Hitchcock and Stanley Kubrick were the focal point of the film's promotion, rather than individual film stars. If the film industry was becoming a director's medium, Woolfson felt the music business might well become a producer's medium. Recalling his earlier Edgar Allan Poe material, Woolfson saw a way to combine his and Parsons' respective talents. Parsons would produce and engineer songs written by the two, and The Alan Parsons Project was born.

Pride And Joy - Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble (1983) djbuddyloveclassicrr 2012-04-01 | "Pride And Joy" was the second track on the debut album from American blues-rock band Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble, "Texas Flood". One of his most famous tracks, parts of the solos are from another of the band's songs, "I'm Cryin'". Vaughan wrote this song for his wife at that time, Lenora, but she thought it was written about a former girlfriend of his, so he wrote another song for her, "Lenny". "Texas Flood" was released on June 13, 1983 by Epic Records. The album was named after a cover featured on the album, "Texas Flood", first recorded by blues singer Larry Davis in 1958. Produced by the band and recording engineer Richard Mullen, it was recorded in only three days at Jackson Browne's personal recording studio in Los Angeles. Vaughan wrote six of the ten tracks on "Texas Flood", including "Pride And Joy". Stephen 'Stevie' Ray Vaughan (October 3, 1954 -- August 27, 1990) was an American guitarist, vocalist, songwriter, and a notable recording artist. Often referred to by his initials, SRV, he is best known as the leader of the blues rock band Double Trouble, with whom he recorded four studio albums. Influenced by guitarists of various genres, Vaughan emphasized intensity and emotion in his guitar playing, and favored vintage guitars and amplifiers. He became one of the leading blues-rock musicians, encompassing multiple styles including jazz and ballads. Born and raised in Dallas, Texas as the younger brother of Jimmie Vaughan, he moved to Austin at the age of 17 and formed the band Triple Threat Revue, that evolved into a band called Double Trouble, in 1978. Accompanied by drummer Chris Layton, bassist Tommy Shannon, and later, keyboardist Reese Wynans, Vaughan became an important figure in Texas blues, a loud, swing-driven fusion of blues and rock. Despite the breakthrough success of Double Trouble's debut Epic album, "Texas Flood" (1983), Vaughn entered a period of alcohol and drug addiction. In 1986, he successfully completed rehabilitation and released the album "In Step" in 1989. On August 27, 1990, while departing a concert venue by helicopter in East Troy, Wisconsin, Vaughan was killed when the helicopter crashed into the side of a ski hill. His death triggered a global outpouring of grief, and as many as 3,000 people reportedly attended his public memorial service in Dallas. Vaughan was highly rated as a performer and is considered to be one of the greatest guitarists of all time. He has received critical recognition for his guitar playing, ranked at #7 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of 100 Greatest Guitarists in 2003. and ranked #3 on Classic Rock magazine's list of 100 Wildest Guitar Heroes in 2007. Vaughan won six Grammy Awards, including Best Contemporary Blues Performance for "In Step". Vaughan was posthumously inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame in 2000 and won five W.C. Handy Awards. As of 2012, Vaughan has sold over 11.5 million albums with Double Trouble. This channel is dedicated to the classic rock hits that have become part of the history of our culture.

Long Cool Woman (In A Black Dress) - The Hollies (1971) djbuddyloveclassicrr 2012-02-26 | "Long Cool Woman (In A Black Dress)", also called "Long Cool Woman" or "Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress", was a song written by Allan Clarke, Roger Cook, and Roger Greenaway and performed by the British pop group The Hollies. Originally appearing on the 1971 album "Distant Light", it was released as a single in April 1972, selling 1.5 million copies in the U.S. and 2 million worldwide. On the day "Long Cool Woman" was recorded at AIR Studios in London, the group's producer, Ron Richards, was ill and, as a result, the song was produced by the group. The song is different from most Hollies' songs in that there are no three-part vocal harmonies, and the song features lead guitar and lead vocal work by Allan Clarke. Upon his return, Ron Richards mixed the final recording. "Distant Light" was the last album by the band to feature lead vocalist and founding member Allan Clarke, until the 1974 album simply called "Hollies". "Long Cool Woman (In A Black Dress)" peaked at #2 on the U.S. Pop chart. The U.S.-released version of the "Distant Light" album peaked at #21 on the U.S. album chart. The Hollies are an English pop and rock group, formed in Manchester in the early 1960s, though most of the band members are from throughout East Lancashire. Known for their distinctive vocal harmony style, they became one of the leading British groups of the 1960s and 1970s. They enjoyed considerable popularity in many countries, although they did not achieve major U.S. chart success until 1966. Along with The Rolling Stones and The Searchers, they are one of the few British pop groups of the early 1960s that have never officially broken up and that continue to record and perform. The Hollies were inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2010. This channel is dedicated to the classic rock hits that have become part of the history of our culture.

Layla - Derek & The Dominos (1970) djbuddyloveclassicrr 2012-02-12 | "Layla" was a song written by Eric Clapton and Jim Gordon, originally recorded by their blues-rock band, Derek & The Dominos, as the thirteenth track from their only studio album "Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs", released in December of 1970. It is considered one of rock music's definitive love songs, featuring an unmistakable guitar figure played by Eric Clapton and Duane Allman, and a piano coda that comprises the second half of the song. Its famously contrasting movements were composed separately by Clapton and Gordon. The title, "Layla", was inspired by "The Story Of Layla/Layla And Majnun", by the 12th-century Persian poet Nizami Ganjavi of the Ganja (present day Azerbaijan) Seljuq empire. When he wrote "Layla", Clapton had been told the story by his friend Ian Dallas, who was in the process of converting to Islam. Nizami's tale, about a moon princess who was married off by her father to someone other than the one who was desperately in love with her, resulting in Majnun's madness, struck a deep chord with Clapton, inspired by his then-unrequited love for Pattie Boyd, the wife of his friend and fellow musician George Harrison of The Beatles. Boyd divorced Harrison in 1974 and married Clapton in 1979 during a concert stop in Tucson, Arizona. Harrison was not bitter about the divorce and attended Clapton's wedding party with Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney. During their relationship, Clapton wrote another love ballad for Pattie called "Wonderful Tonight", but Clapton and Boyd later divorced in 1989 after several years of separation. "Layla" was unsuccessful on its initial release, but the song has since experienced great critical and popular acclaim, and is often hailed as being among the greatest rock songs of all time. By the late 1980s and early 1990s, the song had become iconic, and it is featured on a number of 'greatest ever' lists. The song was chosen by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as one of their '500 Songs That Shaped Rock And Roll', and Rolling Stone magazine ranked the song at #27 on their list of 'The 500 Greatest Songs Of All Time'. "Layla" was ranked #16 on VH1's '100 Greatest Songs Of Rock And Roll', while Clapton's and Allman's guitar solos earned "Layla" a spot on Guitar World magazine's list of the '100 Greatest Guitar Solos' at #14. "Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs" was a blues-rock album by Derek & The Dominos. The album is often regarded as Eric Clapton's greatest musical achievement. "Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs" peaked at #16 on Billboard's Pop Albums chart and was certified gold by the RIAA. The album again made the Billboard 200 in 1972, 1974 and in 1977. In 2000, the album was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. In 2003 VH1 named "Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs" the 89th greatest album of all time, and was ranked number 115 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time in the same year. Derek & The Dominos were a blues-rock band formed in the spring of 1970 by guitarist and singer Eric Clapton with keyboardist Bobby Whitlock, bassist Carl Radle and drummer Jim Gordon, who had all played with Clapton in Delaney, Bonnie & Friends. Duane Allman of The Allman Brothers Band was also invited by Clapton to sessions to add slide guitar to a number of tracks, including "Layla".

Foreplay/Long Time - Boston (1976) djbuddyloveclassicrr 2012-01-29 | "Foreplay/Long Time" was a song by the American rock band Boston, released on the band's eponymous debut album, and as their second single, on Epic Records in 1976. It combines an instrumental introduction, "Foreplay", to the main song "Long Time" featuring lead vocalist Brad Delp, generally played as one on the radio and listed as one track on the album. It peaked at No. 22 on the Billboard Hot 100 in February 1977. In an interview for the "Best Of Boston" CD, Tom Scholz, leader and producer of Boston, said that "Foreplay" was the first song he ever recorded, and he did this on a two-track machine in his basement. "Foreplay" is a progressive instrumental prelude, primarily consisting of rapid triplet arpeggios on Hammond M3 organ (contrary to popular belief, the song was not recorded on a B3, as Scholz had a limited budget at the time and was unable to afford one) with a bass part doubled by a clavinet, and drums, with lead guitar joining at the end. According to Scholz, the synthesizer-like swoops were not produced with synthesizers, but rather by scraping a pick along a string of a guitar. The debut album "Boston", released in July 1976, peaked at #3 on the Billboard 200, and has been certified as selling 17x platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. The album is the second best-selling debut album of all-time in the United States, after Guns N' Roses's "Appetite For Destruction". Boston is an American rock band from Boston, Massachusetts that achieved its most notable successes during the 1970s and 1980s. Centered on guitarist, keyboardist, songwriter, and producer Tom Scholz, the band is still a staple of classic rock radio playlists. They have sold over 31 million albums in the United States.

A Horse With No Name - America (1971) djbuddyloveclassicrr 2011-12-03 | "A Horse With No Name" was a song written by Dewey Bunnell and originally recorded in late 1971 by the band America. It was the band's first and most successful single, topping the charts in several countries in early 1972. America's self-titled debut album was released initially in Europe with only moderate success and without the song "A Horse With No Name". Trying to find a song that would be popular in both the United States and Europe, "A Horse With No Name" was originally called "Desert Song" and was written while the band was staying at the home studio of Arthur Brown, in Puddletown, Dorset in the U.K. The first two demos were recorded there, by Jeff Dexter and Dennis Elliott, and was intended to capture the feel of the hot, dry desert that had been depicted at the studio from a Salvador Dalí painting, and the strange horse had ridden out of an M.C. Escher picture. Writer Dewey Bunnell also says he remembered his childhood travels through the Arizona and New Mexico desert when his family lived at Vandenberg Air Force Base. Despite (or, perhaps, because of) the song being banned by some U.S. radio stations because of supposed drug references, the song ascended to number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart, and the album quickly reached platinum status. The interpretation of the song as a drug reference comes from the fact that 'horse' is a common street slang term for heroin. America is an English-American folk rock band that originally included members Gerry Beckley, Dewey Bunnell and Dan Peek. The three members were barely out of their teens when they became a musical sensation during 1972, scoring #1 hits and winning a Grammy for Best New Musical Artist. Their recording success stretched throughout the 1970s. The band suffered a heavy blow when Dan Peek quit the group in 1977, right at the bottom of a steep decline in their popularity, but Beckley and Bunnell returned to the top 10 as a duo with "You Can Do Magic" in 1982. Peek, also known as a pioneer in contemporary Christian music, died in his sleep on July 24, 2011 at age 60 at his home in Farmington, Missouri. Continuing to tour today, America maintains a loyal fan base and performs over 100 shows per year.

Calling Dr. Love - Kiss (1976) djbuddyloveclassicrr 2011-09-23 | "Calling Dr. Love" was a song by the American hard rock band Kiss, originally released on their 1976 album "Rock And Roll Over". The song was written by Kiss bassist/lead vocalist Gene Simmons at a Holiday Inn in Evansville, Indiana. It was the second single released from the album, and the group's fourth U.S. Top 20 single, reaching #16 in the Billboard chart. The song's title came from Gene Simmons' recollection of a Three Stooges short called "Men In Black", containing an announcement over a hospital intercom, "Calling Doctor Howard, Doctor Fine, Doctor Howard", meaning Moe, Larry and Curly, respectively. "Rock And Roll Over" was the fifth studio album by Kiss. The album peaked at #11 on the Billboard pop albums chart, and was certified platinum on January 5, 1977. The album was recorded at the Star Theatre, and in order to get the proper drum sound, Peter Criss recorded the drum tracks in a bathroom, communicating via video-link with the rest of the band. Kiss is an American rock band formed in New York City in January 1973. Easily identified by its members' face paint and flamboyant stage outfits, the group rose to prominence in the mid- to late 1970s on the basis of their elaborate live performances, which featured fire breathing, blood spitting, smoking guitars, shooting rockets, levitating drum kits and pyrotechnics. Kiss has been awarded 24 gold albums to date, the most of any American rock band. The band has sold more than 40 million albums in the United States, of which 20 million have been certified by the RIAA, and their worldwide sales exceeds 100 million albums. The 1973--'80 lineup of Paul Stanley (vocals and rhythm guitar), Gene Simmons (vocals and bass guitar), Ace Frehley (lead guitar and vocals), and Peter Criss (drums, percussion and vocals) is the most successful and identifiable. Kiss has been named to many 'Top' lists. They include Number 10 on VH1's '100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock', 9th on 'The Greatest Metal Bands' list by MTV, #1 on Hit Paraders's 'Top 100 Live Bands', 56th on VH1's '100 Greatest Artists Of All Time', 2nd on Digital Dream Door's 'Best Hair Metal Bands', and 26th on Gibson's '50 Greatest American Rock Bands'.

Imagine - John Lennon (1971) djbuddyloveclassicrr 2011-09-21 | "Imagine" was a song written and performed by the English musician John Lennon. It was the opening track on his album "Imagine", released in 1971. In 2004, Rolling Stone magazine ranked "Imagine" at number 3 in its list of The 500 Greatest Songs Of All Time. The song is one of three Lennon solo songs, along with "Instant Karma!" and "Give Peace A Chance", in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs That Shaped Rock And Roll. "Imagine" was the second solo album by Lennon. Recorded and released in 1971, the album tended toward songs that were gentler, more commercial and less avant-garde than those on his critically acclaimed previous album, "John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band". The album is considered the most popular of his works. In 2003, Rolling Stone magazine listed "Imagine" as the 76th greatest album in history. John Winston Ono Lennon, MBE (9 October 1940 -- 8 December 1980) was an English musician and singer-songwriter who rose to worldwide fame as one of the founding members of The Beatles, one of the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed acts in the history of popular music. Along with fellow Beatle Paul McCartney, he formed one of the most successful songwriting partnerships of the 20th century. Born and raised in Liverpool, Lennon's first band, The Quarrymen, evolved into The Beatles in 1960. As the group disintegrated towards the end of the decade, Lennon embarked on a distinguished solo career. Lennon disengaged himself from the music business in 1975 to devote time to his family, but re-emerged in 1980 with a new album, "Double Fantasy". He was murdered by Mark David Chapman three weeks after its release. Lennon's solo album sales in the United States exceed 14 million units, and as writer, co-writer or performer, he is responsible for 25 number-one singles on the U.S. Hot 100 chart. In 2002, a BBC poll on the 100 Greatest Britons voted him eighth, and in 2008, Rolling Stone magazine ranked him the fifth-greatest singer of all-time. He was posthumously inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1987 and into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994.

Take Me Home Tonight - Eddie Money featuring Ronnie Spector (1986) djbuddyloveclassicrr 2011-09-20 | "Take Me Home Tonight" was a song by American rock singer Eddie Money, from his sixth album "Can't Hold Back", released in 1986. It was released as a single and reached #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #1 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. The song was recorded as a duet with Ronnie Spector, with Spector singing the chorus from The Ronettes' 1963 hit, "Be My Baby", on which Spector sang lead vocals. Eddie Money (born Edward Joseph Mahoney, March 21, 1949 in Brooklyn, New York) is an American rock guitarist, saxophonist and singer-songwriter who found success in the 1970s and 1980s with a string of Top 40 hits and platinum albums. Money originally followed his father's footsteps and became a New York City police officer in the late 1960s. As his interest in music intensified, he eventually ended his law enforcement career in favor of becoming a full time musician. He moved to Berkeley, California and became a regular at area clubs, where he eventually got enough attention to secure a recording contract with Columbia Records. Later in the 1970s, he charted with singles such as "Baby Hold On" and "Two Tickets To Paradise". Money continued his successes and took advantage of the MTV music video scene in the early 1980s with his humorous narrative videos for "Shakin'" and "Think I'm In Love", but his career began to fail him after several unsuccessful releases in the mid-1980s, accompanied by his struggles with drug addiction. Money made a comeback two years later in 1986 and returned to the mainstream rock spotlight with the album "Can't Hold Back", which featured "Take Me Home Tonight", along with the hit "I Wanna Go Back". Money followed the album with another Top 10 hit, late 1988's "Walk On Water", but his Top 40 career ended following the #21 placement of "I'll Get By" in 1992. During the 1990s and 2000s, Money continued to release numerous compilation albums along with several albums featuring new material. Today, he still tours the 'Oldies' circuit regularly, often accompanied by other successful rock acts from his era, and has also made several television appearances on American sitcoms.

The song was written in the key of G major and first appeared on the "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" album in 1973. "Bennie And The Jets" has been one of John's most popular songs. Elton John was set against releasing "Bennie And The Jets" on side one of the "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" album, and was even against releasing it as a single, believing it would fail. The song peaked at number one on the singles charts in 1974. "Bennie And The Jets" was also John's first Top 40 hit on the R&B charts, going to number one there as well. The acceptance of "Bennie And The Jets" on R&B radio helped land John, a huge soul music fan, a guest appearance on the May 17, 1975, edition of "Soul Train", during which he played "Bennie And The Jets" and "Philadelphia Freedom". "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" was the seventh studio album by British singer-songwriter John, released in 1973. It is regarded as his magnum opus. With worldwide sales of at least 31 million copies, it is his best-selling studio album.

Sir Elton Hercules John, CBE (born Reginald Kenneth Dwight, on 25 March 1947) is an English singer-songwriter, composer and pianist.

Stairway To Heaven - Led Zeppelin (1971) djbuddyloveclassicrr 2011-08-13 | "Stairway To Heaven" was a song by the English rock band Led Zeppelin, released in late 1971. It was composed by guitarist Jimmy Page and vocalist Robert Plant for the band's untitled fourth studio album (usually referred to as "Led Zeppelin IV"). The song is composed of several sections, which increase in tempo and volume as the song progresses. The song begins as a slow acoustic-based folk song accompanied by panflutes, before electric instrumentation is introduced. The final section is a high-tempo hard rock section highlighted by an intricate guitar solo by Page. The song, often considered one of the greatest rock songs of all-time, was voted #3 in 2000 by VH1 on its list of the 100 Greatest Rock Songs, and was placed at number 31 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. It was the most requested song on FM radio stations in the United States in the 1970s, despite never having been officially released as a single there. The fourth album by Led Zeppelin was released on 8 November 1971. No title is printed on the album, so it is generally referred to as "Led Zeppelin IV", following the naming standard used by the band's first three studio albums. Also the album has alternatively been referred to as "Four Symbols", "The Fourth Album" (those two titles each having been used in the Atlantic Records catalogue), "Untitled", "The Runes", "ZoSo" and "The Hermit". "Zoso" is also the moniker for the band's guitarist, Jimmy Page. Upon its release, "Led Zeppelin IV" was a commercial and critical success. The album is one of the best-selling albums worldwide at 32 million units. It has sold over 23 million units in the United States alone, tying it for the third-best-selling album in the US. In 2003, the album was ranked 66th on Rolling Stone magazine's list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.

Dyer Maker - Led Zeppelin (1973) djbuddyloveclassicrr 2011-08-13 | "D'yer Mak'er" (intended to be pronounced in a British non-rhotic accent as 'Jamaica', /dʒəˈmeɪkə/) was a song by English rock band Led Zeppelin, from their 1973 album "Houses Of The Holy". This song was meant to imitate reggae and its 'dub' derivative emerging from Jamaica in the early 1970s. Its genesis is traced to Led Zeppelin's rehearsals at Stargroves in 1972, when drummer John Bonham started with a beat similar to 1950s doo-wop, and then twisted it into a slight off-beat tempo, upon which a reggae influence emerged. The distinctive drum sound was created by placing three microphones a good distance away from Bonham's drums. "D'yer Mak'er" is one of the few Led Zeppelin songs where all four members share the composer credit. The sleeve on the album also gives tribute to Rosie And The Originals, a reference to the doo-wop influence which was evident in the song's style. This track, as well as another song entitled "The Crunge", was initially not taken seriously by many listeners, and some critics at the time reserved their harshest criticism for these two tracks. Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones has also expressed his distaste for the song, suggesting that it started off as a joke and wasn't thought through carefully enough. However, "D'yer Mak'er" has gathered critical respect in the years since, and has grown into a Led Zeppelin classic. Upon the album's release, Robert Plant was keen to issue the track as a single in the United Kingdom. Atlantic Records went so far as to distribute advance promotional copies to DJs (now valuable collectors' items). While it was released in the U.S., and the single peaked at #20 in December 1973, it was ultimately never released in the U.K. The name of the song is derived from an old joke: "My wife's gone to the West Indies." "Jamaica?" (which has a similar pronunciation as "D'you make her?") "No, she went of her own accord". The title, which appears nowhere in the lyrics, was chosen because it reflects the reggae flavor of the song. Robert Plant has said that he finds it amusing when fans completely ignore the apostrophes and pronounce it as "Dire Maker". Led Zeppelin were an English rock band. Formed in 1968 in London, the group consisted of guitarist Jimmy Page, singer Robert Plant, drummer John Bonham and bassist John Paul Jones. With their heavy, guitar-driven blues-rock sound, Led Zeppelin are regularly cited as one of the progenitors of heavy metal and hard rock, even though the band's individualistic style drew from many sources and transcends any one music genre. More than thirty years after disbanding following Bonham's death in 1980, Led Zeppelin continue to be held in high regard for their artistic achievements, commercial success, and broad influence. The band have sold over 300 million albums worldwide, including 111.5 million certified units in the United States, making them one of the world's best-selling music artists of all time, as well as the second best-selling band of all time in the United States, only behind The Beatles. They have had all of their original studio albums reach the top 10 of the Billboard album chart in the U.S., with six reaching the number one spot. Rolling Stone magazine has described Led Zeppelin as "the heaviest band of all time", "the biggest band of the '70s" and "unquestionably one of the most enduring bands in rock history". Similarly, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame described the band as being "as influential in that decade [70s] as The Beatles were in the prior one".

Movin Out (Anthonys Song) - Billy Joel (1977) djbuddyloveclassicrr 2011-06-13 | "Movin' Out (Anthony's Song)" was a song written and recorded by Billy Joel. The track details the singer's disgust with the upwardly-mobile bourgeois aspirations of working and lower-middle class New Yorkers who take pride at working long hours in order to afford the outward signs of having 'made it'. Named characters have stereotypically ethnic names ('Anthony', 'Mama Leone', 'Sergeant O'Leary', 'Mr. Cacciatore') and their jobs are blue-collar. Joel considers their rejection of their working-class roots (trading a Chevy for a Cadillac and buying a house in Hackensack, New Jersey) to be ultimately futile; in the end, the rewards are a 'heart attack' or 'a broken back'. According to Joel, 'Anthony' isn't a real person, but rather 'every Irish, Polish, and Italian kid trying to make a living in the U.S. '. The song originally appeared on his 1977 album, "The Stranger", and peaked at number 17 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart. The Twyla Tharp Broadway dance musical "Movin' Out", featuring the songs of Billy Joel, opened at the Richard Rodgers Theatre, New York, on October 24, 2002, and played 1,307 performances before closing in December 2005. It toured the U.S. extensively from 2004 through 2007. "Movin' Out" is also the title of the original Broadway cast album taken from the musical.

Cold As Ice - Foreigner (1977) djbuddyloveclassicrr 2011-06-12 | "Cold As Ice" was a 1977 song by British-American rock band Foreigner from their self-titled debut album. It became one of the best-known songs of the band in the U.S., peaking at number 6 in the Billboard Hot 100. It was initially the B-side of some versions of the "Feels Like The First Time" 45 rpm single. Foreigner are a British/American rock band, originally formed in 1976. They have sold more than 70 million albums worldwide (including over 37.5 million in the United States alone). Since its inception, Foreigner have been led by English journeyman rocker Mick Jones (former member of Nero and The Gladiators, Spooky Tooth and The Leslie West Band) who, in early 1976, met with ex-King Crimson member Ian McDonald and formed Foreigner with American singer Lou Gramm (ex-Black Sheep), Dennis Elliott, Al Greenwood, and Ed Gagliardi as a sextet. Jones came up with the name Foreigner from the fact that he, McDonald, and Elliott were English, while Gramm, Greenwood, and Gagliardi were Americans. The band's debut album "Foreigner" was released in March 1977 and sold more than four million copies in the United States, staying in the Top 20 for a year with such hits as "Feels Like The First Time," "Cold As Ice" and "Long Long Way From Home."

Follow You, Follow Me - Genesis (1978) djbuddyloveclassicrr 2011-06-12 | "Follow You, Follow Me" was a 1978 single by the British band Genesis. The music was written by Tony Banks, Phil Collins, and Mike Rutherford, with lyrics by Rutherford. Originally released as the last track from their 1978 album "...And Then There Were Three...", the single was the first by Genesis to reach the American Top 40 (#23). It was also a harbinger of the more radio-friendly direction Genesis would take over the next decade. The slower, overtly sentimental love-themed "Follow You, Follow Me" was a departure from their previous work, and indeed the rest of the album. Although previous albums contained love ballads, such as "More Fool Me" from "Selling England By The Pound", "Follow You, Follow Me" was the first worldwide pop success by the group and gained the band play on adult contemporary and pop music stations. The band had all agreed that their music was attracting mainly male audiences, almost 95% in fact. This song was written specifically to redress the balance. "...And Then There Were Three... " was the ninth studio album by Genesis and was released in 1978. It was the band's first album without guitarist Steve Hackett, and the third with Phil Collins on lead vocals, having replaced Peter Gabriel after his departure in 1975. A pivotal release in the band's history, the title "...And Then There Were Three... " is a wry reference to the recent departure of guitarist Steve Hackett, reducing Genesis to a trio. Genesis are an English rock band that formed in 1967. The band currently comprises the longest-tenured members Phil Collins (lead vocals and drums, born Philip David Charles Collins, 30 January 1951), Mike Rutherford (guitar and bass guitar, born Michael John Cleote Crawford Rutherford 2 October 1950), and Tony Banks (keyboards, born Anthony George Banks 27 March 1950). Peter Gabriel, Anthony Phillips and Steve Hackett also played major roles in the band in its early years. Genesis is among the top 30 highest-selling recording artists of all time with approximately 150 million albums sold worldwide. The group was among five bands inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2010. This channel is dedicated to the classic rock hits that have become part of the history of our culture.

Do You Feel Like We Do [Live] - Peter Frampton (1976) djbuddyloveclassicrr 2011-05-11 | "Do You Feel Like We Do" is a song by Peter Frampton originally on the "Frampton's Camel" album released in 1973. It was one of the three hit singles released from his "Frampton Comes Alive!" album, released in 1976, which reached number one on the album charts and became the best-selling live album of all time until 1998. The "Frampton Comes Alive!" version of the song was recorded at the State University of New York's Plattsburgh Memorial Hall. The version from "Frampton Comes Alive!" is also featured in the popular game "Guitar Hero 5". After the lack of success of the "Frampton's Camel" album, Frampton performed under his own name as he felt that the band was being confused with the band Camel. He developed a strong live following while his albums sold moderately and his singles failed to chart. "Do You Feel Like We Do" became the closing number of his set and one of the highlights of his show. It was considerably longer, over fourteen minutes on "Frampton Comes Alive!", and featured a number of instrumental solos. Most famously, Frampton used the talk box, an effects pedal which redirects a guitar's sound through a tube into the performer's mouth, allowing the guitar to mimic human speech. As a result of the strength of Frampton's live show, A&M Records decided to release a live album taped when Frampton performed at Winterland in San Francisco. "Frampton Comes Alive!" was originally going to be a single album. "Do You Feel Like We Do" was one of the tracks added to the album as a result of the decision to expand the album to a double album. The track had been recorded live on November 22, 1975 on the college campus of SUNY Plattsburgh in Plattsburgh, New York. "Do You Feel Like We Do" was released as the third single from "Frampton Comes Alive!" in September 1976. It was edited down extensively for the 45 RPM single and promo single for pop radio stations, but the single version was still 7 minutes long. Many radio stations were known to further edit the song down, in order to make it fit into their tightly programmed, AM radio formats. It reached number 10 on the U.S. pop charts, making it one of the longest songs to reach the U.S. top 10. Many album-oriented rock stations played the full 14 minute version, with many disc jockeys taking advantage of that length by taking a bathroom break while the song was playing. The album went on to top the U.S. charts for ten weeks and became the best-selling live album of all time up to that point, as well as one of the best-selling double albums. Billboard magazine named Frampton artist of the year for 1976 as a result of the success of the album, as did the readers of Rolling Stone magazine. Frampton continues to play this song live to close his concerts. "The Simpsons" episode "Homerpalooza" featured the song with the London Symphony Orchestra supporting Frampton. However, as often happens when Homer Simpson is involved, things go awry. Following four solo albums with little commercial success, "Frampton Comes Alive!" was a breakthrough for the artist. Released on January 6, 1976, the album reached number one on the Billboard 200, and was in the top spot for a total of 10 weeks. It was the best-selling album of 1976, selling over 6 million copies in the U.S. Upon its release the album became the best-selling live album in America, but has since dropped to fourth, being superseded by Garth Brooks' "Double Live", Bruce Springsteen's "Bruce Springsteen & E Street Band Live 1975 - '85" and The Eagles' "Eagles Live". Peter Kenneth Frampton (born April 22, 1950) is an English musician, singer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist. He was previously associated with the bands Humble Pie and The Herd.

Couldnt Get It Right - Climax Blues Band (1976) djbuddyloveclassicrr 2011-05-11 | Climax Blues Band, originally known as the Climax Chicago Blues Band, was formed in Stafford, England in 1968. The original members were guitarists Peter Haycock and Derek Holt, keyboardist Arthur Wood, bassist Richard Jones, drummer George Newsome, and vocalist and harmonica player Colin Cooper. In 1970, the group shortened its name to the Climax Blues Band due to pressure from the American band Chicago Transit Authority, later known simply as Chicago. The band has released at least seventeen albums and had a Top 10 hit with "Couldn't Get It Right", which reached #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1977. Led by Cooper, the former frontman of the R&B group the Hipster Image, the Climax Chicago Blues Band was one of the leading lights of the late 1960s UK blues boom. Prior to the release of 1969's "Plays On", Jones left the group, prompting Holt to move to bass. In 1970 they moved to the Harvest Records label, at the same time shifting towards a more rock-oriented sound on "A Lot Of Bottle". Around the release of 1971's "Tightly Knit", Newsome was replaced by John Cuffley. Upon Wood's exit in the wake of 1972's "Rich Man", they continued on as a quartet, also dropping the "Chicago" portion of their name at that time. In 1974 the Climax Blues Band issued "FM Live", a document of a New York radio concert. 1975's "Stamp" was their commercial breakthrough, and 1976's "Gold Plated" fared even better, spurred on by the success of the hit single "Couldn't Get It Right". By the mid-1970s they were drawing crowds of up to 20,000 at U.S. concerts. However, the rise of punk rock effectively stopped the group in their tracks. Cooper died of cancer at age 69 in July 2008. However, the band continues to tour to the present day. This channel is dedicated to the classic rock hits that have become part of the history of our culture.

Turn To Stone - Electric Light Orchestra (1977) djbuddyloveclassicrr 2011-05-10 | "Turn To Stone" was a 1977 song by the British rock group Electric Light Orchestra. The song was the opening track to the double album "Out Of The Blue", and was the first song released as a single from the LP, reaching #13 in the U.S. in early-1978. The song was composed in Switzerland during Jeff Lynne's two week writing marathon for the double album. Lynne played the moog bassline of the song. On November 4, 2008, Jeff Lynne was awarded a BMI (Broadcast Music, Inc) Million-Air certificate for "Turn To Stone" for having one million airplays. "Out Of The Blue" was the seventh studio album by Electric Light Orchestra, released in October 1977. Written and produced by ELO frontman Jeff Lynne, the double album is among the most commercially successful records in the group's history. The large spaceship on the album's cover, by now symbolic of the group, was designed by Kosh with art by Shusei Nagaoka. It was based on the logo Kosh designed for ELO's previous album, "A New World Record" which connected with "Star Wars" and "Close Encounters Of The Third Kind" fever. It also looks like a space station with a docking shuttle from "2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968). The number JTLA 823 L2 which is featured on the shuttle arriving at the space station is the original catalogue number for the album. The album also included an insert of a cardboard cutout of the space station as well as a fold-out poster of the band members. The space theme was carried onto the live stage in the form of a huge glowing flying saucer stage set, inside which the band performed. A small controversy surrounded the U.S. release of "Out Of The Blue" on Jet/United Artists Records. The band and Jet Records accused United Artists of flooding the market with thousands of defective copies of the vinyl double album set. This eventually caused Jet to reassign the U.S. distribution rights of this and all future and past ELO albums to U.S. CBS Records under the Jet/Columbia logo. The album is included in the book "1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die". This channel is dedicated to the classic rock hits that have become part of the history of our culture.

Roll Over Beethoven - Electric Light Orchestra (1973) djbuddyloveclassicrr 2011-05-10 | "Roll Over Beethoven" was a 1973 single released by the Electric Light Orchestra. It became a hit in the United States as an edited version of the track taken from the album "ELO 2". ELO's elaborate reworking of the track included an opening musical quote from Beethoven's Fifth Symphony and clever interpolations of material from the symphony's first movement into Chuck Berry's song. The band closed all their concerts for years using this number, which became their signature song. Electric Light Orchestra, commonly abbreviated ELO, were a symphonic rock group from Birmingham, England, who released eleven studio albums between 1971 and 1986 and another album in 2001. ELO were formed to accommodate Roy Wood and Jeff Lynne's desire to create modern pop songs with heavily classical overtones, but falling under a light rock category. However, the band's direction for most of their existence was set by Lynne who, after the band's debut record, wrote and arranged all of the group's original compositions and produced every album. By the mid-1970s, they had become one of the biggest selling bands in music. From 1972 to 1986, ELO accumulated twenty-seven Top 40 hit singles. The group also scored nineteen Top 20 hit singles in the U.S. Billboard charts. The band also holds the record for having the most Billboard Hot 100 Top 40 hits of any band in U.S. chart history without ever having a #1 single. Over the years, ELO collected 21 RIAA awards, 38 BPI awards, and sold well over 100 million records.

It was the first single released from that album, and although it didn't chart in the U.S., it was a #1 single in Japan.

These performances were recorded for the group's most popular album, 1978's "Cheap Trick At Budokan", with an audience of 12,000 screaming Japanese fans nearly drowning out the band at times.

In the U.S., the album peaked at number four on the Billboard 200 and became the group's best-selling album with over three million copies sold. A live version of "I Want You To Want Me" from "Cheap Trick At Budokan" was released in 1979 and became their biggest-selling single, reaching #7 on the Billboard Hot 100. "Cheap Trick At Budokan" was ranked number 430 in Rolling Stone magazine's list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time in 2003.

The band consists of members Robin Zander (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Rick Nielsen (lead guitar, backing vocals), Tom Petersson (bass guitar, backing vocals), and Bun E. Carlos (drums, percussion).

While My Guitar Gently Weeps - The Beatles (1968) djbuddyloveclassicrr 2011-05-08 | "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" is a song written by George Harrison of The Beatles for their double album "The Beatles", also known as "The White Album". Inspiration for the song came to Harrison when reading the ancient Chinese classic text the I Ching, which, as he put it, "seemed to me to be based on the Eastern concept that everything is relative to everything else, as opposed to the Western view that things are merely coincidental." Taking this idea of relativism to his parents' home in northern England, Harrison committed to write a song based on the first words he saw upon opening a random book. Those words were 'gently weeps', and he immediately began the song. The composition was met with little to no interest by the other Beatles. The band recorded it several times, at first in an acoustic style, and later in an electric version featuring a backward guitar solo, but no version seemed to work. Let down but undaunted, Harrison invited his friend Eric Clapton to join him during a day's recording session. Despite Clapton's doubts ("Nobody ever plays on The Beatles' records"), Harrison convinced him otherwise. The inclusion of Clapton allowed a moment's relief from the band's inner turmoil, as well as a chance for Harrison to free himself of lead guitar, playing only rhythm and vocal. The song was ranked #135 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time and #7 on their list of the 100 greatest Guitar Songs of All Time.

The Stranger - Billy Joel (1977) djbuddyloveclassicrr 2011-04-17 | "The Stranger" was a song by rock artist Billy Joel from his 1977 album of the same name, "The Stranger", about the id of the human psyche where desire and primal instincts are supposedly held in check by the superego, according to the theories of Sigmund Freud. Joel originally wanted the melody to be played by some kind of wind instrument, suggesting a clarinet. But after Joel demonstrated the melody by whistling it, producer Phil Ramone convinced Joel to scrap the idea of a clarinet and whistle instead. The aforementioned whistling at the opening and closing was, consciously or unconsciously, inspired by the Alessandro Alessandroni tune of the same name. "The Stranger" was the fifth studio album by Joel, released in 1977. While his four previous albums had been moderate chart successes, this was his breakthrough album, and is generally regarded by critics as his 'magnum opus', spending six weeks at #2 in the U.S. album charts. It remains Joel's best-selling non-compilation album to date and was ranked number 67 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. William Martin 'Billy' Joel (born May 9, 1949) is an American musician and pianist, singer-songwriter, and classical composer. Since releasing his first hit song, "Piano Man", in 1973, Joel has become the sixth best-selling recording artist and the third best-selling solo artist in the United States, according to the RIAA. Joel had Top 40 hits in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, achieving 33 Top 40 hits in the United States, all of which he wrote himself. He is also a six-time Grammy Award winner, a 23-time Grammy nominee and has sold over 150 million records worldwide. He was inducted into the Songwriter's Hall of Fame (1992), the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (1999), the Long Island Music Hall of Fame (2006) and the Hit Parade Hall of Fame (2009). Joel 'retired' from recording pop music in 1993 but continues to tour. This channel is dedicated to the classic rock hits that have become part of the history of our culture.

Sweet Emotion - Aerosmith (1975) djbuddyloveclassicrr 2011-04-17 | "Sweet Emotion" was a song by American rock band Aerosmith. It was released on May 19, 1975 as the first single from the band's breakthrough smash album "Toys In The Attic." The song began a string of pop hits and large-scale mainstream success for the band that would continue for the remainder of the 1970s. The song was written by lead singer Steven Tyler and bassist Tom Hamilton. "Sweet Emotion" was released as a single in 1975, and peaked at #36 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the band's breakthrough single and the first Top 40 hit for the band. The day it hit #36 on the U.S. chart, July 19, 1975, Aerosmith was booked at a gig in New York City's Central Park, called the Schaefer Music Festival. The song was so successful that the band decided to ride the heels of its success and re-release their first single, "Dream On", which had originally charted at #59 in 1973. The re-released version went on to hit #6, the highest chart performance in the 1970s for the band. The song has been included on almost every Aerosmith compilation and live album and is frequently cited as Aerosmith's 'signature song', including in the "World Almanac And Book Of Facts", and regularly competes with "Dream On" and "Walk This Way" for the title of Aerosmith's 'signature song' elsewhere. It is often included on 'greatest song' lists or 'greatest rock song' lists, including a ranking of #416 on Rolling Stone magazine's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. It was also one of the songs Aerosmith played for their induction to The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. "Toys In The Attic" was the third album by Aerosmith. The album is their second-most commercially successful studio album, with eight million copies sold in the United States alone. Steven Tyler claims that his original idea for the album cover was a teddy bear sitting in the attic with its wrist cut and stuffing spread across the floor. They decided, in the end, to put all of the animals in instead. In 2003, the album was ranked number 228 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. Aerosmith is an American hard rock band, sometimes referred to as 'The Bad Boys from Boston' and 'America's Greatest Rock and Roll Band'. Their style, which is rooted in blues-based hard rock, has come to also incorporate elements of pop, heavy metal, and rhythm and blues, and has inspired many subsequent rock artists. The band was formed in Boston, Massachusetts in 1970. Guitarist Joe Perry and bassist Tom Hamilton, originally in a band together called the Jam Band, met up with singer Steven Tyler, drummer Joey Kramer, and guitarist Ray Tabano, and formed Aerosmith. In 1971, Tabano was replaced by Brad Whitford, and the band began developing a following in Boston. Aerosmith is the best-selling American rock band of all time, having sold more than 150 million albums worldwide, including 66.5 million albums in the United States alone. They also hold the record for the most gold and multi-platinum albums by an American group. The band has scored 21 Top 40 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, nine #1 Mainstream Rock hits, four Grammy Awards, and ten MTV Video Music Awards. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001, and were included among both Rolling Stone's and VH1's lists of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.

Back In Black - AC/DC (1980) djbuddyloveclassicrr 2011-04-17 | "Back In Black" was a song by AC/DC, appearing as the first track on side two of their 1980 album, "Back In Black". Known for its opening guitar riff, the song was AC/DC's tribute to their former singer Bon Scott. It peaked in the U.S. at No. 37 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1981 and was No. 51 on Billboard's Top Tracks chart, which debuted in March 1981. The song was ranked No. 4 by VH1 on their list of the 40 Greatest Metal Songs, and in 2009, it was named the second greatest hard rock song of all time by VH1. It was also ranked No. 187 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. The same magazine has also ranked "Back In Black" number 29 on The 100 Greatest Guitar Songs of All Time. Released on 25 July 1980, "Back In Black" was the seventh AC/DC album and the first recorded without former lead singer Bon Scott, who died on 19 February 1980 after a night of heavy alcohol consumption at the age of 33, and was dedicated to him. The band considered disbanding following Scott's death, but they ultimately decided to continue and shortly thereafter hired Brian Johnson as their new lead singer and lyricist. Producer Robert John 'Mutt' Lange, who had previously worked with AC/DC on "Highway To Hell", was again brought in to produce. The recordings were made at Compass Point Studios in Nassau, Bahamas, and Electric Lady Studios in New York, where the album was also mixed. The album has sold an estimated 49 million copies worldwide to date, making it the second-highest selling album of all time behind "Thriller" by Michael Jackson., and the best-selling hard rock or heavy metal album, as well as the best-selling album ever released by a band. AC/DC are an Australian rock group, formed in 1973 by brothers Malcolm and Angus Young. Although the band are commonly classified as hard rock and are considered a pioneer of heavy metal, they have always classified their music as rock and roll. To date they are one of the highest grossing bands of all time. As of 2010, AC/DC have sold more than 200 million albums worldwide, including 71 million albums in the United States. AC/DC ranked fourth on VH1's list of the 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock and were named the seventh Greatest Heavy Metal Band of All Time by MTV. In 2004, AC/DC were ranked number 72 in the Rolling Stone magazine list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.

The Things We Do For Love - 10cc (1977) djbuddyloveclassicrr 2011-04-17 | "The Things We Do For Love" was a hit single from "Deceptive Bends", an album released in 1977 by rock band 10cc. The departure of Kevin Godley and Lol Creme in 1976 to form Godley & Creme almost ended 10cc. However Eric Stewart and Graham Gouldman kept the group alive as a duo (with the assistance of percussionist Paul Burgess). They remained successful, as "The Things We Do For Love" peaked at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Deriving their name from the metric total of semen ejaculated by the average male, 10cc was a British art rock band who achieved their greatest commercial success in the 1970s. The band initially consisted of four musicians—Graham Gouldman, Eric Stewart, Kevin Godley and Lol Creme—who had written and recorded together for some three years, before assuming the 10cc name in 1972. For the most part, 10cc featured two strong songwriting teams, one 'commercial' and one 'artistic'. Both teams, however, injected sharp wit to lyrically dextrous and musically varied songs. Stewart and Gouldman were predominantly pop-song-writers, who created most of the band's accessible songs. By way of contrast, Godley and Creme were the predominantly experimental half of 10cc, featuring an Art School sensibility and cinematic inspired writing. Every member was a multi-instrumentalist, singer, writer, and producer. Most of the band's albums were recorded at their own Strawberry Studios (North) in Stockport, England and Strawberry Studios (South) in Dorking, England, with most of those engineered by Stewart.

Money - Pink Floyd (1973) djbuddyloveclassicrr 2011-04-17 | "Money" was the sixth track from English progressive rock band Pink Floyd's 1973 album "The Dark Side Of The Moon". Written by bassist Roger Waters, it opened Side Two of the original vinyl LP, and is the only song on the album to enter the top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 13. "Money" is particularly notable for its unusual 7/4 time signature, its distinctive bassline and the seven-beat 'loop' of money-related sound effects that opens the track: coins clinking, a cash register ringing, etc. The song is also notable for its dramatic change to 4/4 time for an extended guitar solo. Guitarist David Gilmour suggested the change in time signature was likely introduced to make things a little easier for him. The first of three choruses which compose his solo was recorded using real-time double-tracking. That is, Gilmour played the chorus nearly identically in two passes recorded to two different tracks of a multi-track tape machine. The doubled effect for the third chorus was created using automatic (or 'artificial') double-tracking (ADT). The song was re-recorded for the 1981 Pink Floyd album, "A Collection Of Great Dance Songs", because Capitol Records refused to license the track to Columbia Records in the United States. With the help of producer James Guthrie, Gilmour re-recorded the song, providing vocals and playing all the instruments except saxophone. Dick Parry again contributed the sax solo, reprising his role on the original recording. Drums were programmed into a drum machine. "The Dark Side Of The Moon" (an allusion to lunacy, rather than astronomy), was the eighth studio album by Pink Floyd, released in March 1973. The album was recorded at Abbey Road Studios in two sessions, between May 1972 and January 1973. The band were assigned staff engineer Alan Parsons (who later formed The Alan Parsons Project), who had worked as assistant tape operator on "Atom Heart Mother", and who had also gained experience as a recording engineer on The Beatles' "Abbey Road" and "Let It Be". The recording sessions made use of some of the most advanced studio techniques of the time. The studio was capable of 16-track mixes, which offered a greater degree of flexibility than the eight- or four-track mixes they had previously used, although the band often used so many tracks that to make more space available, second-generation copies were made. "The Dark Side Of The Moon" was an immediate success, topping the Billboard 200 for one week. It subsequently remained in the charts for 741 weeks from 1973 to 1988, longer than any other album in history. With an estimated 45 million copies sold, it is Pink Floyd's most commercially successful album and one of the best-selling albums worldwide. It has twice been remastered and re-released, and has been covered by several other acts. In addition to its commercial success, "The Dark Side Of The Moon" is one of Pink Floyd's most popular albums among fans and critics, and is frequently ranked as one of the greatest rock albums of all time.

Another Brick In The Wall (Parts I & II) / The Happiest Days Of Our Lives - Pink Floyd (1979) djbuddyloveclassicrr 2011-04-16 | "Another Brick In The Wall" is the title of three songs set to variations of the same basic theme, on English progressive rock group Pink Floyd's 1979 rock opera, "The Wall". Subtitled "Part I" (work title "Reminiscing") , "Part II" (work title "Education"), and "Part III" (work title "Drugs"), respectively, all of them were written by Pink Floyd's bassist and then lead songwriter, Roger Waters. It has become one of the most famous Pink Floyd songs. "Part II" is a protest song against rigid schooling in general and boarding schools in particular. It was also released as a single and provided the band's only number one hit in the U.S. and many other countries. For "Part II", Pink Floyd received a Grammy nomination for Best Performance by a Rock Duo or Group. In addition, "Part II" was number 375 on Rolling Stone magazine's 500 Greatest Songs Of All Time list. The single sold over 4 million copies worldwide. As with the other songs on "The Wall", "The Happiest Days Of Our Lives" tells a portion of the story of Pink, the album's protagonist. On the album, "The Happiest Days Of Our Lives" segues into "Another Brick In The Wall (Part II)" with a loud, high-pitched scream by Roger Waters. Because of this segue, many radio stations play one right after the other. "The Wall" is the ninth studio album by Pink Floyd. Presented as a double album, it was released on November 30th, 1979. It was subsequently performed live, with elaborate theatrical effects, and adapted into the film "Pink Floyd The Wall". "The Wall" is a rock opera that centers on the character Pink, who is largely based on the band's bassist and lyricist Roger Waters. Pink encounters obstacles throughout his life, beginning with the loss of his father during World War II, continuing with abuse from his schoolteachers, an overprotective mother, and the desertion of his wife, all of which factor into Pink's isolation from society, represented by the metaphorical "Wall" of the album title. As with most of their previous albums, "The Wall" is a concept album that deals largely with the theme of personal isolation. The concept was inspired by an event that occurred during the band's 1977 "In The Flesh" Tour, where Waters' frustration with the audience reached a point where he spat in the face of a fan near the stage. Waters would come to regret his actions and spoke of his desire to build a wall between himself and the audience. "The Wall" features a notably harsher and more theatrical style than their previous releases. Keyboardist Richard Wright left the band during production of the album, but returned to perform during later concert performances as a salaried musician. Hugely successful upon its release, "The Wall" was the best-selling album of 1980 in the United States. It is one of the best-selling double albums of all time, and is in the top five best-selling albums of all time in the U.S. This channel is dedicated to the classic rock hits that have become part of the history of our culture.

Miss You - The Rolling Stones (1978) djbuddyloveclassicrr 2011-04-16 | "Miss You" was a 1978 hit song by The Rolling Stones, from their album "Some Girls". "Miss You" was written by singer Mick Jagger jamming with keyboardist Billy Preston during rehearsals for the March 1977 El Mocambo club gigs which yielded Side Three of the "Love You Live" album. Guitarist Keith Richards is credited for co-writing. Unlike most of "Some Girls", "Miss You" features several studio musicians. In addition to Sugar Blue, who according to Ron Wood was found while busking on the streets of Paris, Ian McLagan played understated Wurlitzer electric piano, and Mel Collins provides the saxophone solo for the instrumental break. "Miss You" became The Rolling Stones' eighth number-one hit in the U.S. on its initial release in 1978. In 2010, Rolling Stone magazine rated "Miss You" number 498 in its list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. Considered a highlight of their output and the best of their post-"Exile On Main St." records, "Some Girls" revitalized the band's career upon its release and re-established The Rolling Stones as a vital rock and roll band in an era infused with punk rock and disco. It also became the band's biggest-selling album in the United States, with more than six million copies to date. "Some Girls" is ranked number 269 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. After gaining popularity in Europe, The Rolling Stones became successful in North America during the so-called British Invasion of the mid 1960s. They have released 24 studio albums in the United States, nine concert albums and numerous compilations. Their worldwide sales are estimated at more than 200 million albums. 1971's "Sticky Fingers" began a string of eight consecutive studio albums reaching number one in the United States, including "Some Girls". In 1989 The Rolling Stones were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and in 2004 they ranked #4 in Rolling Stone magazine's 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. In 2008, Billboard magazine ranked The Rolling Stones at number ten on The Billboard Hot 100 Top All-Time Artists, and as the second most successful group in the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Roll With The Changes - REO Speedwagon (1978) djbuddyloveclassicrr 2011-04-16 | "Roll With The Changes" was a 1978 single released from "You Can Tune A Piano, But You Can't Tuna Fish", REO Speedwagon's seventh studio album. This was the first of the group's albums to be produced entirely by lead singer Kevin Cronin and lead guitarist Gary Richrath. The album was REO's first to make the Top 40, peaking at #29.

'R.E.O.' are the initials of the company's founder, Ransom Eli Olds, who also founded Oldsmobile, which was once a division of General Motors. REO Speedwagon was formed by students attending the University of Illinois in Champaign, Illinois, in the fall of 1967 to play cover songs in campus bars. The band grew in popularity during the 1970s and peaked in the early 1980s. Over the course of its career, the band has sold more than 40 million records and has charted 13 Top 40 hits.

Come And Get Your Love - Redbone (1974) djbuddyloveclassicrr 2011-04-16 | "Come And Get Your Love" is the title of a 1974 hit single by Redbone, a Native American rock group that was most active in the 1970s. Formed in 1969 in Los Angeles, California, by brothers Patrick Vasquez (bass and vocals) and Lolly Vasquez (guitar and vocals), the name Redbone itself is a joking reference to a Cajun term for a mixed-race person ('half-breed'), the band's members being of mixed-blood ancestry. The band referenced Cajun and New Orleans culture many times in their lyrics and performing style. Pat and Lolly had previously performed and recorded under the stage surname Vegas, in part to downplay the Latin American association of their birth surname, Vasquez. According to Patrick Vasquez, it was Jimi Hendrix who talked the musicians into forming an all-Native American rock group and so they signed as the band Redbone to Epic Records in 1969. Redbone played primarily rock music with R&B, Cajun, jazz, tribal, and Latin roots. The song "Come And Get Your Love" was written by Lolly and produced by Lolly and his brother Pat. It was originally featured on Redbone's album "Wovoka". In later years the song appeared on many greatest hits albums released by the band, as well as on numerous compilation albums of the 70s. The song peaked at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in April of 1974, and it spent 18 weeks in the Top 40.

Xanadu - Rush (1977) djbuddyloveclassicrr 2011-04-16 | "Xanadu" was a song recorded by the Canadian progressive rock trio Rush for their 1977 album "A Farewell To Kings". It is approximately eleven minutes long, beginning with a five-minute-long instrumental section, then transitioning to a narrative written by lyricist Neil Peart, inspired by the Samuel Taylor Coleridge poem "Kubla Khan". In Peart's lyrics, the narrator describes searching for something called "Xanadu" (although it is not explicitly stated what this is, references to the poem "Kubla Khan" imply that it is a mythical place based on the historical summer capitol of the Mongolian Empire) that will grant him immortality. The narrator finds Xanadu and attains immortality. A thousand years pass, and he is left "waiting for the world to end", bitter in the reality of his successful quest. "Xanadu" is the first Rush song in which synthesizers are an integral part. Unlike the previous "2112" or "Caress Of Steel" albums, "Xanadu" used both guitar and synthesizer effects, and thus represented a transitional phase for the group. The song also marks Rush's clear foray into program music, a type of art music that attempts to render people musically an extra-musical narrative. Previous albums had displayed some elements of program music. Subsequent Rush albums during the late '70's and early '80's would see the group explore program music more systematically. "Xanadu" required each member to utilize an array of instruments to effect the performance. Alex Lifeson used a double-necked Gibson electric guitar (one twelve-string, the other six-string) as well as synthesizer pedals; Geddy Lee made use of a double-necked Rickenbacker (bass and twelve-string guitar) as well as extensive synthesizer arrangements (through both pedals and keyboards) while singing; and Peart took on various percussion instruments (notably temple blocks, tubular bells, bell tree, glockenspiel and wind chimes) in addition to his drum kit work. "A Farewell To Kings" is the fifth studio album by Rush, released in 1977. The album was recorded at Rockfield Studios in Wales, and mixed at Advision Studios in London. "A Farewell To Kings" would become Rush's first U.S. Gold-selling album, receiving the certification within two months of its release and was eventually certified Platinum.

2112: Overture / The Temples Of Syrinx - Rush (1976) djbuddyloveclassicrr 2011-04-16 | "2112" was the title track from Canadian progressive rock band Rush's album of the same name, released in 1976. "2112", pronounced "Twenty-one Twelve", was the fourth studio album by Rush. The album "2112" features an eponymous seven-part suite written by Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson, with lyrics written by Neil Peart. The suite tells a dystopian story set in the year 2112. The "Overture" and the first section, "The Temples Of Syrinx", were released as a single and are still popular among Rush's fans today. The 'sci-fi' sounds in the beginning of the song were created using an ARP Odyssey synthesizer and an Echoplex tape delay. According to the suite, in the year 2062, a galaxy-wide war results in the union of all planets under the rule of the Red Star of the Solar Federation. The world is controlled by the Priests of the Temples of Syrinx, who determine all reading matter, songs, pictures, everything connected with life during the year 2112. "2112" commences with a lengthy instrumental section ("Overture") which concludes with the spoken phrase, "And the meek shall inherit the Earth" (a reference to the Beatitudes of the New Testament and Psalm 37:11). The "Overture" contains a guitar adaptation of a familiar part of Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture. Section two, "The Temples Of Syrinx", sets an immediate counterpoint to this line by introducing the arrogant villains of the story. The Priests of the Temples of Syrinx, characterized by a high singing voice provided by Geddy Lee, boast that "All the gifts of life are held within our walls". The Priests, who rule over the Earth, have united the surviving human colonies, after a long war, under "the Red Star of the Solar Federation", supposedly under the principles of equality and brotherhood. The "meek" mentioned in the opening line seem to be the contented people of the Solar Federation who have submitted to the rule of the Priests. In Greek mythology, a syrinx is a water nymph. Temples are ascension symbols and are regarded to be closer to the gods with their height. In this song, the priests' system is computerized, a reality envisioned by Peart in the 1970s. "2112" is one of two Rush albums listed in "1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die" (the other being "Moving Pictures"). In 2006, a poll of Planet Rock listeners picked "2112" as the definitive Rush album. Rush is a Canadian rock band formed in August 1968, in the Willowdale neighbourhood of Toronto, Ontario, composed of bassist, keyboardist, and lead vocalist Geddy Lee, guitarist Alex Lifeson, and drummer and lyricist Neil Peart. Since the release of the band's self-titled debut album in March 1974, Rush has become known for the instrumental skills of its members, complex compositions, and eclectic lyrical motifs drawing heavily on science fiction, fantasy, and philosophy, as well as addressing humanitarian, social, emotional, and environmental concerns. Over their careers, the members of Rush have been acknowledged as some of the most proficient players on their respective instruments, with each band member winning numerous awards in magazine readers' polls. As a group, Rush possesses 24 gold records and 14 platinum (3 multi-platinum) records. Rush's sales statistics place them third behind The Beatles and The Rolling Stones for the most consecutive gold or platinum studio albums by a rock band.

Come Sail Away - Styx (1977) djbuddyloveclassicrr 2011-04-14 | "Come Sail Away" was a song by Styx from their album "The Grand Illusion". One of the band's biggest hits, it was released in 1977, rising to number 8 on the Pop Singles chart and helping "The Grand Illusion" reach multi-platinum sales in 1978. Musically, "Come Sail Away" combines a plaintive, ballad-like opening section (including piano and synthesizer interludes) with a bombastic, guitar-heavy second half. In the middle of the second half of the album version is a minute-long synthesizer instrumental. Styx member Dennis DeYoung revealed on "In the Studio With Redbeard" (which devoted an entire episode to the making of "The Grand Illusion"), that he was depressed when he wrote the track after Styx's first two A&M offerings, "Equinox" and "Crystal Ball", sold fewer units than expected after the success of the single "Lady". The track would be the regular closing track during the band's live set before the encore. "The Grand Illusion" was the seventh studio album by Styx. It became the band's first Triple Platinum album. Styx is an American rock band that became famous for its albums of the 1970s and 1980s. The Chicago band was known for melding the style of prog-rock with the power of hard rock guitar, strong ballads, and the flair of a Broadway musical. The band has four consecutive albums certified multi-platinum by the RIAA. Twin brothers Chuck and John Panozzo first got together with their neighbor Dennis DeYoung in 1961 in the Roseland section of the south side of Chicago, eventually taking the band name The Tradewinds. Chuck Panozzo left to attend seminary school for a year but returned to the group by 1964. Tom Nardini was brought in to teach Chuck the guitar. Chuck decided to play bass guitar for the band. John Panozzo was the drummer, while Dennis DeYoung had switched from accordion to organ and piano. In 1965, the name The Tradewinds was changed to TW4 after another band called The Trade Winds broke through nationally. By 1966, the Panozzo brothers had joined DeYoung at Chicago State University and kept the group together doing gigs at high schools and frat parties while studying to be teachers. In 1969, they added a college buddy, John Curulewski, on guitar after Tom Nardini departed. Guitarist James 'J.Y.' Young came aboard in 1970 making TW4 a quintet. In 1970, the band members decided to choose a new name when they signed to Wooden Nickel Records. Several suggestions were made and, according to DeYoung, Styx was chosen because it was "the only one that none of us hated". Following the move to A&M, Curulewski suddenly left the band in December 1975 just as they were to embark on a nationwide tour. After a frantic last-minute search, the band brought on guitarist Tommy Shaw as Curulewski's replacement, completing the line-up which appears on "The Grand Illusion".

The Boys Are Back In Town - Thin Lizzy (1976) djbuddyloveclassicrr 2011-04-13 | "The Boys Are Back In Town" was a single from Irish hard rock band Thin Lizzy. The song came out in 1976 on their album "Jailbreak". It was honored with the 499th position among Rolling Stone magazine's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. In March 2005, Q magazine placed "The Boys Are Back In Town" at number 38 in its list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Tracks. Thin Lizzy are an Irish hard rock band who formed in Dublin, Ireland, in 1969. The two founding members, drummer Brian Downey and bass guitarist/vocalist Phil Lynott, met each other while still in school. Lynott, with an engaging and charismatic personality, took up the role of frontman and speaker for the band and led them throughout their recording career of thirteen studio albums. After Lynott died on 4 January 1986 of heart failure and pneumonia related to his years of drug and alcohol dependency at the age of 36, various incarnations of the band have emerged over the years. Thin Lizzy's leader, Lynott was composer or co-composer of almost all their songs. He was one of the few black men to achieve commercial success in hard rock, and was the first black Irishman to do so. As well as being multiracial, the band drew their members not only from both sides of the Irish border but also from both the Catholic and Protestant communities. Their music reflects a wide range of influences, including country music, psychedelic rock, Irish music and traditional Irish folk music, but is generally classified as hard rock or sometimes heavy metal. Van Morrison, Jeff Beck and Jimi Hendrix were major influences during the early days of the band, and later influences included American artists Little Feat and Bob Seger. The band's original lead guitarist Eric Bell, who was a fan of John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, bought a copy of The Dandy comic after seeing Eric Clapton depicted reading a copy of its sister publication The Beano on the cover of the 1966 album "Bluesbreakers With Eric Clapton". He suggested Tin Lizzie, the name of a robot character from the comic, itself named for the common nickname for the iconic Ford Model T car. Bell also suggested they change Tin to Thin to play on the Irish accent's propensity to drop the 'h'. After a while, Lynott and Downey agreed to the idea and the name stuck, as they thought the confusion was amusing and would create a talking point. For some of their early gigs, the band were mistakenly promoted as Tin Lizzy or Tin Lizzie". Thin Lizzy were ranked #51 on VH1's 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock.

Children Of The Sun - Billy Thorpe (1979) djbuddyloveclassicrr 2011-04-12 | Billy Thorpe released his solo space opera "Children Of The Sun" in 1979, which peaked into the top 40 of the Billboard Pop Album chart. The related single, "Children Of The Sun", made it into the top 50 of the Billboard Singles chart. William Richard "Billy" Thorpe (29 March 1946 -- 28 February 2007) was a renowned English-born Australian pop/rock singer-songwriter and musician. As lead singer of his band, Billy Thorpe & The Aztecs, he had success in the 1960s with "Blue Day", "Poison Ivy", "Over The Rainbow", "Sick And Tired", and "Mashed Potato", and in the 1970s with "Most People I Know Think That I'm Crazy". Featured in concerts at Sunbury Pop Festival and Myer Music Bowl in the early 1970s, the Aztecs also developed the pub rock scene and were known as one of the loudest groups in Australia. Thorpe also performed as a solo artist, and he relocated to the United States from 1976 to 1996 where he released the space opera album, "Children Of The Sun", in 1979. He worked with ex-Aztec Tony Barber to form a soft toy company in 1987 and co-wrote stories for "The Puggle Tales" and "Tales From The Lost Forests". Thorpe also worked as a producer and composed music scores for TV series, including "War Of The Worlds", "Star Trek: The Next Generation", "Columbo", "Eight Is Enough" and "Hard Time On Planet Earth". Thorpe returned to Australia in 1996 and continued as a performer and producer. Additionally, he authored two best-selling autobiographies, "Sex And Thugs And Rock 'N' Roll" (1996) and "Most People I Know (Think That I'm Crazy)" (1998). Thorpe was inducted into the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) Hall of Fame in 1991. He died of a myocardial infarction in February 2007 and was posthumously appointed a Member of the Order of Australia in June for his contribution to music as a musician, songwriter and producer.

Who Are You - The Who (1978) djbuddyloveclassicrr 2011-04-12 | "Who Are You", composed by Pete Townshend, was the title track on English rock band The Who's 1978 release, "Who Are You", the last album released before drummer Keith Moon's death in September 1978. The song became one of the band's biggest U.S. hits, peaking at #14. The lyrics begin with a true incident, courtesy of Townsend's alcoholism. He claims he really did wake "up in a SoHo doorway", and a police man recognized him and advised him to go home. It is the theme to the CBS TV show "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation". "Who Are You" was the eighth studio album by The Who, released on 18 August 1978, through Polydor Records in the United Kingdom and MCA Records in the United States. It peaked at number 2 on the U.S. charts and number 6 on the U.K. charts. It was The Who's last album with Keith Moon as the drummer, who died of a drug overdose approximately three weeks after the release of this album. The Who were formed in 1964 by Roger Daltrey (vocals), Pete Townshend (guitar), John Entwistle (bass) and Keith Moon (drums). They became known for energetic live performances which often included instrument destruction. The Who have sold about 100 million records and have charted 27 top forty singles in the United Kingdom and United States with 17 top ten albums, with 18 Gold, 12 Platinum and 5 Multi-Platinum album awards in the United States alone. The Who were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990, their first year of eligibility. They received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the British Phonographic Industry in 1988, and from the Grammy Foundation in 2001, for creative contributions of outstanding artistic significance to the field of recording. In 2008 surviving members Townshend and Daltrey were honoured at the 31st Annual Kennedy Center Honors.

Frankenstein - The Edgar Winter Group (1972) djbuddyloveclassicrr 2011-04-10 | "Frankenstein" was a rock instrumental by The Edgar Winter Group from their album "They Only Come Out At Night". In live performances of the song, Edgar Winter further pioneered the advancement of the synthesizer as a lead instrument by becoming the first person ever to strap a keyboard instrument around his neck, giving him the on-stage mobility and audience interaction of guitar players. The song topped the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart for a week starting in May 1973, and sold over one million copies. The song's title, coined by the band's drummer Chuck Ruff, derives from the fact that the original recording of the song was much longer than the final version, as the band would often deviate from the arrangement into less structured jams. The track required numerous edits to shorten it. The end result was pieced together from many different sections of recording tape using a razor blade and splicing tape. Winter frequently refers to the appropriateness of the name also in relation to its monster-like, lumbering beat. Winter played many of the instruments on the track, including keyboards, saxophone and timbales. As the album's only instrumental cut, the song was not initially intended to be on the release, and was only included on a whim as a last-minute addition. It was originally released as the B-side to "Hangin' Around", but the two were soon reversed by the label when disc jockeys nationwide were inundated with phone calls and realized this was the hit. The song features a double drum solo, with Ruff on drums and Winter on percussion. In fact, the working title of the song was "The Double Drum Solo". The song was actually performed three years previously when Edgar was playing with his older brother Johnny Winter at the Royal Albert Hall in 1970. "They Only Come Out At Night" was the fourth studio album by The Edgar Winter Group. It went to No. 3 on the Billboard Pop Albums chart, eventually selling two million copies. Edgar Holland Winter (born December 28, 1947), is an American musician. Winter is a multi-instrumentalist, performing on the keyboards, and as a vocalist, saxophonist and percussionist, well-versed in jazz, blues and rock. He was most successful in the 1970s with his band, The Edgar Winter Group. He is easily recognized by his albinism. After recording with his brother, Johnny, Edgar was signed to his own Epic Records contract in 1970 and recorded two R&B flavored albums, "Entrance" and "Edgar Winter's White Trash". In 1972 he formed The Edgar Winter Group, which included Dan Hartman, former Sawbuck members Ronnie Montrose and Chuck Ruff and later included the band's producer Rick Derringer in place of Montrose. It was with this band that Winter had his biggest success with the album "They Only Come Out At Night. During performances, Winter showed his virtuosity by performing on the keyboards, synthesizer, saxophone, and drums, all within the confines of the single song "Frankenstein" on stage. Both "They Only Come Out At Night" and "Frankenstein" each were awarded gold discs by the R.I.A.A. in 1973.

Roundabout - Yes (1971) djbuddyloveclassicrr 2011-04-10 | "Roundabout" was the opening track for the 1971 album "Fragile" by British progressive rock band Yes. The song was written by singer Jon Anderson and guitarist Steve Howe. In January 1972, an edited version of the song was released as a single with "Long Distance Runaround" on the B-side. "Roundabout" has become one of the best-known songs by Yes. The single was one of the band's biggest hits in the United States, peaking at #13 on the Billboard Hot 100. The single version of the song was edited down to 3:27 for American pop radio airplay, although many stations played the full version of the song. Anderson has said that the song's cryptic lyrics simply came to him while driving to the studio one early morning. Howe's use of octave harmonics on the acoustic guitar introduction of the song and the instrumental break in the middle, plucking four notes that compose an Em chord on an open guitar, has become one of his signature pieces of guitar work. "Fragile" was the fourth album by the band Yes, released on Atlantic Records. It was the band's first album with keyboardist Rick Wakeman after the departure of Tony Kaye, and the first to feature cover art by Roger Dean, his work emblematic of both the band and progressive rock as a whole. "Fragile" was issued in the U.K. in November 1971, but was held back in North America for two months because of the chart momentum of "The Yes Album". It peaked at #4 on the Billboard 200 during a stay of 46 weeks. Yes are an English progressive rock band formed in London in 1968, generally regarded as one of the archetypal bands and pioneers of the genre. Despite many lineup changes, occasional splits within the group, and the ever-changing trends in popular music, the band has continued for more than 40 years and still retains a large following, having sold over 33 million albums. The band's music blends symphonic and other classical structures with their own brand of rock music.

La Grange - ZZ Top (1973) djbuddyloveclassicrr 2011-04-10 | "La Grange" was a song by the rock group ZZ Top from their album "Tres Hombres". Considered to be almost a 'one-chord blues', it is one of their most successful songs. It was released in 1973 and received extensive radio play, rising to #41 in the Billboard Pop Singles list in 1974. The song refers to a bordello on the outskirts of La Grange, Texas (later notoriously known as the 'Chicken Ranch'). This brothel is also the subject of the Broadway play and film "The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas", the latter starring Dolly Parton and Burt Reynolds. "Tres Hombres" was the third album by ZZ Top, and marked the first of many times the band worked with engineer Terry Manning. It proved to be the group's commercial breakthrough, attracting a far larger fanbase. The name means 'Three Men' in Spanish, referring to the three members of the band. In 2003, the album was ranked number 498 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. ZZ Top is an American blues rock band, formed in 1969 in Houston, Texas. Comprised of Billy Gibbons (lead vocals, guitar and harmonica), Dusty Hill (vocals, bass, and keyboards), and Frank Beard (drums and percussion), ZZ Top was ranked number 44 on VH1's 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock. The trio's original lineup has been intact for over 40 years. The bandmates' image has been as unchanging and memorable as their music. Their signature style of dress and accessories are hard to miss. Gibbons and Hill often use the same synchronized dance moves while performing onstage, and with few exceptions appear in public wearing sunglasses. The pair favor wearing similar black clothing (usually biker leathers) and various headgear which often include cowboy hats, baseball caps, and bandanas. Gibbons and Hill, who appear as twin frontmen, wear chest-length untrimmed beards, although drummer Frank Beard has only a trimmed mustache. ZZ Top was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on March 15, 2004. This channel is dedicated to the classic rock hits that have become part of the history of our culture.

(Dont Fear) The Reaper - Blue Öyster Cult (1976) djbuddyloveclassicrr 2011-04-10 | "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" was a song by the rock band Blue Öyster Cult from their 1976 album, "Agents Of Fortune". It was written and sung by the band's lead guitarist, Donald 'Buck Dharma' Roeser, and is built around Dharma's guitar riff that opens the song and reappears throughout. The edited single version was Blue Öyster Cult's biggest US hit, reaching #12 on the American charts in November 1976. The song remains a staple tune on classic rock radio playlists. In 1997, Mojo magazine ranked "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" at #80 in the 100 Greatest Singles of All Time. Rolling Stone magazine voted the song Best Rock Single of 1976, in 2004 the magazine's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time ranked it at #397, and in 2009 it was named the 55th Best Hard Rock Song of All Time by VH1. Part of the song's appeal consists in its resonance with archetypal themes. The 'reaper' is a reference to the Grim Reaper, a traditional symbol of death in European folklore. Moreover, songs and poetry pairing 'Death and the Maiden' date back from before the Middle Ages. Lyrics such as "Romeo and Juliet are together in eternity" have led many listeners to interpret the song to be about a murder-suicide pact, but Dharma says the song is about eternal love, not death.

A Hard Days Night - The Beatles (1964) djbuddyloveclassicrr 2011-04-04 | "A Hard Day's Night" was a song by English rock band The Beatles. Written by John Lennon, and credited to Lennon/McCartney, it was released on the movie soundtrack of the same name in 1964. It was later released as a single, with "Things We Said Today" as its B-side. The song featured prominently on the soundtrack to The Beatles' first feature film, "A Hard Day's Night", and was on their album of the same name. The album and film are said to portray the classic image of the Beatles, as it was released at the height of Beatlemania. The song topped the charts in both the United Kingdom and United States when it was released as a single. Featuring a prominent and unique opening chord, the song's success demonstrated that The Beatles were not a one-hit wonder in the United States. The American and British singles of "A Hard Day's Night" as well as both the American and British albums of the same title all held the top position in their respective charts for a couple of weeks in August 1964, the first time any artist had done this. "A Hard Day's Night" is immediately identifiable before the vocals even begin, thanks to George Harrison's unmistakable Rickenbacker 360/12 12-string guitar chord. In 1965, "A Hard Day's Night" won The Beatles the Grammy Award for Best Performance by a Vocal Group. In 2004, this song was ranked number 153 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
