Matthew C. Clark Posted January 16, 2003 Share Posted January 16, 2003 TV Guide magazine put out 100 Music Moments That Rocked TV! There was one thing that TV Guide forgot to put down like # 101 when the Rock Music Awards show was on back in the Summer or Fall of 1976 when Diana Ross & Alice Cooper was hosting the show. Alice said that he did not like the show at all so he broke the statue awards & harassed a girl in the crowd & the bodyguards were coming to get Alice. The show went on without Alice. There was another one # 102 when Cheech & Chong was on American Bandstand with Dick Clark. I did not see it back then but in 1992 when American Bandstand showed the 40th Anniversary back then, they showed a clip from 1972 when Thomas Chong broke a record in Dick's ear & here comes the Rate A Record coming down & in 1977, Cheech & Chong were at the party & broke the tables & got into a fighting match or sort.

Raspbernie Posted January 16, 2003 Share Posted January 16, 2003 I'm just not buying Bill Clinton playing his sax as the top music moment in television history. I'm also not buying Michael Jackson's Moonwalk at #2 or the Beatles on Ed Sullivan at #3. My picks would be: 1. Beatles on Sullivan; 2. Jackson's Moonwalk -- evertything after that is up for grabs, but those two events in that order seem to fit for me.I don't think Clinton's Arsenio appearance would be in my Top 20. --Bernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvin Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 Hey how about the Bay City Rollers coming out of a crate to sing on Howard Cosell's live variety show back in 1976???!!!MARVIN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryS Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 Somebody mentioned The Mavericks. Their cd Trampoline is great. Dream River is a beautiful song. Right now my favorite is Django Reinhardt. The man can play a guitar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew C. Clark Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 My other bubbled under TV Guide Rock Moments would be # 103 South Park episode where Timmy & The Lords Of The Underworld Vs. Phil Collins back around the Summer or Fall of 2000. # 104 The Partridge Family go to Motown Detroit back in 1970. # 105 Sid & Marty Krofft's "The Bugaloos" debuted on September 12, 1970. (that Caroline Ellis who played "Joy" in a pink butterfly suit is a cutie) Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggiesjc Posted January 17, 2003 Author Share Posted January 17, 2003 Gary, I think I mentioned the Mavericks at some point in this topic. I have only one of their CDs, but enjoy it enough to check out more of their stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvin Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 I have every one of the Mavericks releases and cannot recommend them enough. They were my favourite 'country' band, continually pushing the envelope and the paramaters of what was considered to be 'country' music. Their use of horns and Latin rhythms was innovative. On their "Best of" cd from a few years back, they did a fabulous version of the old Tremeloes song "Here Comes My Baby." Lead singer / songwriter Raul Malo's solo cd from last year is excellent and very much as adventureous as the Mavericks music.MARVIN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Cartmill Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 So I guess the name fits the band.By the way Marvin, I can't get that "Mindreader" melody from the Chris von Sneidern CD out of my head. Thanks for the tip. Does he have any more strong CDs? Does anybody know or like the boy-band Westlife? I'm getting in to their sappy stuff...

marvin Posted January 19, 2003 Share Posted January 19, 2003 Hey Tony. "Mindreader" by CvS is a fine POP song indeed. I have two of his other releases but they did not impress me as much as the "Big White Lies" cd. What do you think of his version of Bread's "Everything I Own."?MARVIN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marvin Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 Pierson, some great pop names in your list. Nice to see there are others out there who've also discovered the undiscovered.Marvin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackhawkpat Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 Gina:No, I didn't buy the Rock N Roll Roots. I got an approving email from Stroud awhile back (thought I forwarded it to you, but maybe that was when Eric was gonna be in that failed Beatles thing some time ago)after I submitted my list, which contained all Raspberries songs. LOL Alas, none made the cut!Many moons ago, I would religiously call Stroud on his "two for Tuesday" segment, always asking for "Go All The Way" and "Overnight Sensation". I'd give different names as the requester and he'd always laugh knowing it was me.The things us Carmen fans go through, eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hungryeyes Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 blackhawkpat, I know what you mean about requesting some berries tunes for the Rock and Roll Roots Cds. Two years ago at a Cd release party, once again I approached the table that Stroud was sitting at and said ummmmmmmm....no berries?? He just laughed and said no Gina,no berries. The last Cd release party I didn't say anything about this last Cd once again no berries on it. Actually there was a GREAT singer sitting next to Stroud. As I approached the table I forgot about saying ummmmmm...no berries? I was so excited to meet this singer.I approached the table and said, I THINK I'M IN LOVE! Yikes,I can't believe I said that. This guy looked at me and turned all red, and shook his head. Oh boy I couldn't help it I was so excited. I am so stupid sometimes.I certainly will not give up on requesting a berries tune for future volumes. Hey, Stroud if you are here reading this, come on........you are a fan too..... consider it okThat's it! G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bahoodore Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 Recently I have been listening to a lot of Barbereshop Quartets since for the past two years I have been singing tenor in a quartet.It's the hardest stuff I have ever done, but the cool thing is that we don't have any gear to carry and sets are only 20 minutes to half an hour.Today's Barbershop Quartets (International competition level ) are amazing...they are incerdibly entertaining and sing better than almost anyone I have ever heard.A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggiesjc Posted February 2, 2004 Author Share Posted February 2, 2004 Bahoodore, are barbershop quartets always only men? And no instruments involved ever, right? Do you have to dress any particular way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bahoodore Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 Darlene,A true Barbershop Quartet sings acapella. We can dress how we want, though during competitions many quartets wear really really ridiculously lame suits. Some wear them for shock factor (ewe won for the loudest suit!!!) and others because they are a comedy quartet.My quartet only competes at the first two levels...the third level is international and these would be the best 20 quartets out of over 2000 across canada and the states. Our society has 34,000 memebers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gordharris Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 Last night on CMT I watched In Concert, James Taylor, great performance, guitar singing only.After that I watched another, only it was Cat Stevens, I really wasn't a Cat Stevens fan, until I really watched him perform, that guy is amazing, he's good.Now I am. He had sung a song I like, called, 'Better Blue", I like that song.He sang others too, the others were great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggiesjc Posted February 14, 2004 Author Share Posted February 14, 2004 KevG, that's a great list. Nice to see the Beatles and Badfinger in there, as with most of the rest of us. Interesting, also, that you mention Gordon Lightfoot and Dan Fogelberg. Jennifer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvin Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 I also love D Fogelberg. Along with J Browne, two of my favourite lyricists.Marvin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggiesjc Posted February 14, 2004 Author Share Posted February 14, 2004 Marvin, I don't know much about Fogelberg's music. It seems the stuff I've heard on the radio is pretty mild (ballads). Does he have anything else that could be classified as pop or rock?Jennifer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvin Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 Jennifer most of the hits that Dan Fogelberg has had has been with his ballads, so that's why you hear those songs on the radio. His uptempo stuff is pretty introspective. I don't know if I'd classify him as "pop", probably more in the folk-rock-country fields. He's a fabulous guitarist and keyboardist and at one time, before Joe Walsh joined the Eagles, Dan was asked to join the band. He passed on the offer because he was establishing himself as a solo artist. In my opinion, his double album "The Innocent Age" is a classic, and easily one of the best combination of melodies and lyrics anytime anywhere. It had the hit singles "Same Old Lang Syne", "Run For the Roses" and "Leader of the Band" on it. I would assume that most fans of Jackson Browne are also fans of Dan, as their styles are very similar. Jackson probably has the stronger voice, while Dan's is a bit on the sweet side. I would thoroughly recommend Dan to any music listeners who like songs constructed with a great deal of thought put into melodies and lyrics.

gordharris Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 Here's a great song I like by Steve Perry(JOURNEY)-"Oh Sherrie" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggiesjc Posted February 15, 2004 Author Share Posted February 15, 2004 It's a funny thing about that song, "Oh, Sherry." I always have this sense that I shouldn't like it, that it's too corny, or too typical of the bad '80s music, but I can't help liking it enough to hear it out whenever it's on the radio. To me, that's where the judgement is made - does the radio dial get switched, or does it stay? I usually end up listening to the whole of Perry's "Foolish Heart" when it's on the radio, too.
