Old songs that have a strange effect on you

[karlac]

Respect - made me notice the bass line and get a bass.

Flat and Scruggs/Jimmy Brown the Newsboy - likewise with the guitar.

Flat and Scruggs/Foggy Mountain Breakdown - likewise with the banjo

 

[Txhighlander]

Sound of silence, though admittedly I love Distrubed's version better.

 

[General Zod]

Sound of silence, though admittedly I love Distrubed's version better.

There's a band called Bobaflex that has a really good version, too - came out several years before Disturbed's version, and it's kind of a rock cover of the original with that guitar line behind the vocals that Disturbed didn't quite follow. You can find their cover on YouTube - it's worth a listen.

 

[Texasjack]

Madonna's Like a Virgin. I got something no one should get while driving.

I'm guessing a rash that wouldn't go away without antibiotics.

 

[majormadmax]

Whenever I hear Paint it Black, I hear inbound Hueys.
Barber's Adagio for Strings makes me sad.

Ironically, when I hear Gimme Shelter I am immediately taken back to a relatively low-level flight from Croatia back into Bosnia during a severe thunderstorm!

 

[majormadmax]

The Who's Quadrophenia has always been my go-to album when I'm feeling down...

 

[deemus]

Boston’s first album. Always makes my spirit soar.

 

[RaySendero]

1989 Rebel in the FDG
Never heard a radio station that is brave enough to spin it.
Got it down loaded to "a driving music" CD back when music was free.
Every once in a while that CD somehow gets in the player?!
Can't keep foot off accelerator (= 3 tickets)!

Hah - I remember my sister getting me the Stone's "Some Girls" for my birthday - the original one with the politically incorrect windows in the album cover.

Texan and Jason Isbell’s wife. Amanda Shires (Lubbock) is an amazing fiddle player.

 

[popsgarland]

I have 2 radio stations I listen to while driving. Either the 50's or the 60's music.

I will, sometimes, but not often, check out the 70's.

Texan and Jason Isbell’s wife. Amanda Shires (Lubbock) is an amazing fiddle player.

Amazing fiddle player and an awesome voice.

"Isbell and the 400 Unit" is a good band...but when Shires is with them it goes to a whole different thing.

She makes him a better man.

 

[Texasjack]

Two songs you rarely hear in their entirety on the radio: In A Gadda Da Vida by Iron Butterfly (or by I. Ron Butterfly, if you saw the Simpson's version) or Freebird by Lynyrd Skynyrd. When you hear it, it means the DJ is hung over and needed time in the bathroom.

 

[Lonesome Dove]

 

[TipBledsoe]
