    Entertainment Weekly Tries To

    in Someone Else's Song

    Posted

    One of our local FM stations plays a snippet of the chorus of "Drive My Car" when they do their rush hour traffic updates (which is about every 10 minutes between 7-10am & 4-7pm daily) so that's pretty much put me off that song forever.

     

    dude, same here. not that it put me off the song, our town's traffic station does that too. "Every 10 minutes on the 1" or something

    Ticket to Ride is my favorite right now.

     

    Mr. Moonlight is a terrible choice for worst - it features one of Lennon's best vocals, and the mellowest organ solo ever.

     

    And - a Buck Owens cover should never make the worst list of anything.

     

    Mr. Moonlight for me is just another lounge song (i do like the organ part though)

     

    and the only reason act naturally is on the list is because ringo butchers it (dammit ringo)

     

    these songs aren't particularly bad covers by any means, just not good.

    03 "Dig It"

    02 "Wild Honey Pie"

    01 "All You Need Is Love"

     

    I find this list to be a little uninspired. it seems like little work was done to incorporate some of their personal favorites, and i'm still trying to figure out if they cheated on the #19 selection. Feel free to list some songs you think should be on the list or make your own. i'm just going to list my bottom 5 Beatles songs.

     

    5. "All Together Now"

    4. "Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite"

    3. "Act Naturally"

    2. "You Know My Name (Look Up The Number)"

    1. "Mr. Moonlight"

    Big Star

    in Someone Else's Song

    if you guys are going to argue about who owned the 1970's, it wasn't any aforementioned bands. now i love the stones, zeppelin and Big Star, but check Neil Young "body of work" for the 70's

     

    Déjà Vu (1970) with Crosby, Stills & Nash

    After The Gold Rush (1970)

    Four Way Street (1971) with Crosby, Stills & Nash

    Harvest (1972)

    Time Fades Away (1973)

    On The Beach (1974)

    Tonight’s The Night (1975)

    Zuma (1975) with Crazy Horse

    American Stars And Bars (1977)

    Comes A Time (1978)

    Rust Never Sleeps (1979) with Crazy Horse

     

    sorry, but no competition there

    wow, what a show. Costello played Blame It On Cain, Everyday I Write The Book, Mystery Dance, Alison, Red Shoes, Happy by the Rolling Stones, Tonight The Bottle Let Me Down by Merle Haggard, Mystery Train by Elvis Presley, Friend Of The Devil by the Grateful Dead, What's So Funny 'Bout Peace Love & Understanding by Nick Lowe and so much more. I got some videos here if anyone's interested

    Am I just old and jaded, or do these fellas sound (and maybe even look) like Rascal Flatts?

    well, seeing as these guys are more american rock'n'roll (like springsteen or tom petty) and rascal flatts are more 80's ballad rockers (like journey). maybe i'm just young and naive, but i fail to see the comparison

    sounds like a smart kid - arrested over 20 cents.

    the kids a hot head, but we all already knew that. Nothings gonna happen punishment wise, although i don't totally agree with that. i remember a little story a few years back about Eric and Jordan Staal getting arrested, but there was nothing done by the league.
