pierson Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Dan Hartman's "Heaven In Your Arms" is a pop masterpiece that (vitually) no one's heard. but is it as good as "Sundown" his HIGH-POINT w/ Edgar Winter (or even "Autumn") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Cartmill Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Where can one find it Bob? On what CD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Allen Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 It's from an early 80's solo LP called 'It Hurts to Be in Love.' I I love the 2 tunes Pat references above, but 'HIYA', for me, wins hands down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Cartmill Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 I will look that one up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Mac Posted April 7, 2006 Author Share Posted April 7, 2006 And Cartmill finally checks in. I was beginning to think he didn't know any Pop Masterpieces since he doesn think "I Can Remember" is one:)Pierson, WOW you actually know "Close Your Eyes" by Edward Bear? I remember putting that one on a mix tape right after "Last Song." Are you familiar with Richard X Heyman at all? Brilliant intelligent pop, you would love.Mamacote. "Roll To Me" ain't to bad either. Great Band.Mannoman, I always thought it was about a guy who didn't have enough money to afford a high maintenance chick. Did I miss the point?Thanks again everybody. The Amazon damages now stand at $234.00 and counting...MAC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raspberrywine Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 I always loved "Round and Round" which I believe was also Dan Hartman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marvin Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Well kudos to Brian Mac for choosing Michael Carpenter's "Kailee Ann", JohnO for Jeffrey Foskett's "Through My Window", PopDude for Chris von Sniedern's "Big White Lies", Del Amitri's "Not Where It's At", and to Skip for Dwight Twilley's "I'm On Fire" - all worthy of the title "Pop Masterpiece", and all deserving of recognition. As far as my list goes, most of these songs probably fall under the heading 'Forgotten' rather than "..Never Heard ", and maybe they're not all under the heading of "Masterpiece", but they're still worth a re-listen. 1. Day and Night - the Wackers 2. One Golden Ring - Godley & Crème 3. Ebony Eyes - Bob Welch 4. Crackerbox Palace - George Harrison 5. Eat At Home - Paul McCartney6. Oh My Lady - Stampeders 7. Beautiful Sunday - Daniel Boone 8. Rubber Bullets - 10cc 9. Magic - Pilot 10. Sugar Baby Love - the Rubettes 11. Devil Woman - Cliff Richard 12. Babes On Broadway - Artful Dodger 13. Thunder Island - Jay Ferguson14. Nothing's Gonna Change My Mind - Michael Stanley Band 15. Nothing A Little Love Won't Cure - Rubinoos 16. Deborah - Dave Edmunds 17. Love Is Gonna Come At Last - Badfinger 18. Lover's Lane - Rachel Sweet 19. Precious to Me - Phil Seymour 20. Star of My Heart - Walter Egan 21. Que to Quiero - Katrina & the Waves 22. Marie Claire - Wax 23. Only Love - the BoDeans 24. She's So Young - the Pursuit of Happiness 25. Suddenly Mary - the Posies 26. Johnny Have You Seen Her - the Rembrandts 27. December - Teenage Fan Club 28. Wanda & Duane - Marshall Crenshaw 29. In Love Without the Girl - Scott McCarl Marv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMMY TUNES Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Marvin, This thread is entitled "Top Three Pop Masterpieces No One Ever Heard". I guess you figured since you haven't posted in 10 weeks you were entitled to post 10 times as many songs. Go ahead big guy. Nice to see ya'.P.S. Besides I know 9 of your "Masterpieces No One Ever Heard". signed, No One Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnO Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 I'm familiar with all of Marvin's, except the Wax and Pursuit of Happiness tunes. Many of his choices were big hits overseas. BTW, Neil Jordan just used "Sugar Baby Love" in his latest film, "Breakfast on Pluto" (NOTE: Stephen Rea's in it, and there's a transvestite......seems to be a recurring theme with Neil, shades of "The Crying Game").....

marvin Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 JohnO, Wax are Graham Gouldman (10cc) and Andrew Gold, and the Pursuit of Happiness are a Canadian band featuring lead singer Mo Berg. My guess would be that Pierson is familar with this act.Marv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnO Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Marv - Thanks!...Will have to check out Wax. The last I heard from Andrew Gold, he was playing in an LA-based Byrds tribute band a couple of years ago, called Byrds Of A Feather, doing the McGuinn 12-string Rick routine. Jeff Foskett, BTW, was singing Dave Crosby's high parts and playing rhythm guitar. Pat Robinson, one of Gene Clark's old friends, was doing GC, Stephen Arti was the drummer, and I can't remember who else was in the band. They sounded exactly like the old Byrds.....

Cozmik Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 1. Precious to Me - Phil Seymour (the other guy in the Dwight Twilley Band)2. That's The Way Love Ought To Be - Donnie Iris (better than "Ah Leah")3. You Do or You Don't - Lindsey Buckingham (love the little bit of "Theme From A Summer Place" he sneaks in at the end) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvin Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 JohnO I'm a big fan of Jeff Foskett and Andrew Gold and was aware of the Byrds project. I can just imagine how great they sound together, and would love to hear some of this stuff. I don't believe that WAX have released any material since the late 1990's, possibly early 2000's. Their first album, "Magnetic Heaven" was released in the early 1990's. There was no mention on the jacket as to who "WAX" was, just a small picture of Gouldman and Gold on the back cover. Being a big fan of both artists, I had no problem identifying them and knowing the pop sensibilities that both artists had, there was no need to pre-listen this album. The musical partnership was enough to intrigue me. That first album was glorious, and it's first single, "Right Before Your Eyes", was a slice of Hall-Oates along the lines of "Maneater." The second album "American English" was, (in my opinion) quite inferior in comparison. I believe that "Magnetic Heaven" and "American English" are available in a two-pack.Marv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pierson Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 My guess would be that Pierson is familar with this act.Marv Being that one of my best friends is a Todd Rundgren freak (Todd prod. TPOH's debut) I caught wind of them fast... and "She's So Young" was an immediate fave... Wax i heard about through Tommy Allen... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pierre Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 1. "You Came, You Saw, You Conquered" - Ronettes2. "I Hope I Die Before You Do" - John Hoskinson3. "That's It, I Quit, I'm Movin' On" - Marshall Crenshaw (from "The 9 Volt Years") Since the Canadian dollar is still worth less than the US dollar, I'm entitled to a few Canadian Content choices too:4. "The Earth Revolves Around You" - Ginger (faster version)5. "You May Be Right" - Grapes of Wrath6. "The Other Man" - Sloan7. "The Good in Everyone" - Sloan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnO Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Another very underrated and great pop/rock band that hasn't been listed yet - from the UK, Diesel Park West. Their singer John Butler has a killer voice. From DPW, I will toss out, IMO, their 3 best pop masterpieces -All The Myths on Sunday, Fall To Love, and Here I Stand.
