The College Crowd Digs Me

"A mistake is always forgivable, rarely excusable and always unacceptable." Robert Fripp This personal list of "lost gems & forgotten diamonds" continues. (A reminder...songs will be from the 70s decade...but not exclusively.) I strongly encourage everyone to purchase the albums for an even better understanding. Part 20 - Let's Begin... 10:--> King Crimson ---------------- "Red" (6:16) ------------------- Red (1974) (Instrumental) Cool metallic poundage from this power-trio of guitarist Robert Fripp , bassist John Wetton and drummer Bill Bruford . This was 1974...and way ahead of its time. Anthemic. 09:--> Hawkwind ------- "Motorhead" (3:04) --- Warrior On The Edge Of Time (1975) "Fourth day, five day marathon. We're moving like a parallelogram." Re-issued as a bonus track... "Motorhead" ... charges down the highway in speed-diving splendor. Not the usual Hawkwind offering.....

" I have short hands. That's why I have to bend up to notes;  I can't always reach the frets. " Robin Trower This personal list of "lost gems & forgotten diamonds" continues .

Part 19 - Let's Begin... 20:--> Doobie Brothers ------ "I Cheat the Hangman" ------ Stampede (1975) "The days grow short, the nights are gone. Since you were here, I can't go on." Epic in every way. With a haunting earthly sound that slowly builds into a tour-de-force jam. Co-founder Patrick Simmons and company create their own timeless..."Freebird". 19:--> Robin Trower ------- "In City Dreams" (5:15) ------- In City Dreams (1977) "Down in the dirt and candy wrappers... there's pretty ladies on parade." Strong title track wi...

"If I don't break the rules  at least 10 times in every song... then I'm not doing my job properly." ~ Jeff Beck This personal list of "lost gems & forgotten diamonds" continues . (A reminder...songs will be from the 70s decade...but not exclusively. ) I strongly encourage everyone to purchase the albums for an even better understanding. Part 18 - Let's Begin... 30:--> Jeff Beck ------------ "Air Blower" (5:09) ------------ Blow By Blow (1975) (Instrumental) Cool adventurous riffing from Beck. Funky rock fusion with loads of guitar wizardry that midway slides into a dreamy dose of JB blues flip. Not a single wasted note. Sooo nice. 29:--> Nazareth ---------- "Too Bad, Too Sad" (2:55) ---------- Razamanaz (1973) "But when I got to her place what I saw stopped me dead. She was standin with a shotgun pointed at my head." A fun boogie rocker with Dan McCafferty's paint-peeling voca...

Heads on the wall, Maybe you're just playing games." Great intro with driving guitars and drums. Not glam, this one. Just a banging straight-out rocker. Dynamite ending, as well. 39:--> Kiss --------------- "I Stole Your Love" (3:05) -------------- Love Gun (1977) "I remember the day that we met. I needed someone, you needed someone too." Ball-roastin' fireball tears out of the gate like a Belmont death race. Stanley and the boys s...

Part 16 - Let's Begin... 50:--> Deep Purple ------- "What's Going On Here " (4:56) -------- Burn (1974) "Roll me over slowly, I've been drinkin' all night. Help me make a move, I can't stand the light." Enter David Coverdale . This little known singer (at the time) seemed to light a fire under Blackmore and the rest. Obviously having some bar-bangin' fun on this number. 49:--> Lynyrd Skynyrd -- "Preacher's Daughter" (3:40) -- Skynyrd's First And... (1978) "And I'm talkin' about the preacher...
