A staple in my house this time of year. Love the fun lyrics, the joy in her voice, and that fantastic horn section. Great arrangement, too.
RandiReed_MBADC
I clicked on this accidentally and he totally won me over. Get this guy on Ellen Degeneres.
RandiReed_MBADC
I like this vocal much better than the studio version. Note how he sings just behind the melody and lets the notes trail off. Haunting.
RandiReed_MBADC
Loved this song from Day 1 & still do. For a long time it was my get ready & get outta the house song...on 11.
RandiReed_MBADC
Love, love, love Tommy Shaw's vocal on this! I'd like to hear a young rock artist cover this w/ a harder arrangement. Daughtry maybe?
RandiReed_MBADC
If this doesn't get you there's no hope. You're done. Finished. Kuput. Sayonara. Seriously, some of the best crunchy guitars in rock and roll.
RandiReed_MBADC
There's a version of this out there w/ brighter sound that Ryan Seacrest used to play when he was at Star98.7 in L.A.,but this'll do.
RandiReed_MBADC
Confession: When Motley were unsigned, in clubs & on local radio I wasn't into their music. This is the song that changed my mind.
RandiReed_MBADC
"Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah.." If this doesn't put you in a good mood, maybe UR jealous 'cause your girl has the hots for JBJ... :-)
RandiReed_MBADC
I like the way Gavin R did the vocal on this. His emotion fits the lyrics perfectly: he sounds completely dejected.
RandiReed_MBADC
My fave Zep song:Such simple lyrics beautifully delivered many diff. ways by Robert Plant. And I luv the sound o those beautiful acoustic guitRs.
RandiReed_MBADC
RB!@RandiReed_MBADC: "Seems simple but it's deciptively difficult to cover.
(reblip)
RandiReed_MBADC
When I was a kid in So Cal u could walk outside on a Sat night and hear this blasting from 5 different parties. Kelly Clarkson should cover this.
RandiReed_MBADC
Stones at their best. God love Mick and his oddball vocal delivery! (But please, if u cover this, don't copy him. Make it your own style & shine on.)

Good for Guitar Rock Fridays; I always liked this. But I'm jealous that his vocals hit higher notes than I do.
RandiReed_MBADC
Love this b/c it's a textbook example of meshing a "dated" musical style--20's jazz--into something fresh & current.
RandiReed_MBADC
One of my favorite ballads, of any era. I wish someone would cover this; this song is timeless. (Video, not so much.)
RandiReed_MBADC
OK, Adam should've won, but this is a great version of this.
RandiReed_MBADC
Reblip!@DeAnn: "Oh c'mon, Thursday ain't THAT bad either ;))) @BlackandGoldDomination: "is it friday yet?""

Disclaimer: Years ago I worked for one of their agents. But I've loved this band since elementary school and still do. This is one of my CT faves.
RandiReed_MBADC
Cousin Phil had me singing this in early elementary school. I'm sure my ChurchLady mom loved that(!)But she was cool & never censored.
RandiReed_MBADC
Wanna know what that Sunset Strip rock scene was like in the 80's? This pretty much sums it up!
RandiReed_MBADC
Probably the most beautiful song ever done about a serial killer. (Kidding!) But it actually is one of my longtime faves.
RandiReed_MBADC
Every 1's secret guilty pleasure song. I know hardcore metal guys who love it.(Actually it would make a really cool punk song...)
RandiReed_MBADC
Best non-lyrical hook ever. Everybody! [sung]BUH BUH BUM...
RandiReed_MBADC
Mad love 4 Alice; my fave song of his. The strange production + sarcasm + a great jam. I'm often found at my desk writing w/this song on full blast.
RandiReed_MBADC
Sound's a little hissy on this one but am including it 'cuz the vox are out front. Great example of bringing a lyric feeling into a vocal.
RandiReed_MBADC
[sung to tune of Ruby Tuesday] Who can't sing along to this?
RandiReed_MBADC
In my All-time Top 3 rock songs. It's one of the "untouchables" IMO; I don't wanna hear anyone else try it, and this version is the one I like best.
RandiReed_MBADC
Sad reality for any Stones-loving musician: Tho we wanna try 'cause we love it, no 1 can ever make this song sound as cool as this. It's untouchable.
RandiReed_MBADC
KMET's Jim Ladd always used to play this on rainy nights, leading to my appreciation of the Doors.(Especially nice with all the windows open.)
RandiReed_MBADC
You can't possibly be in a bad mood after shout-singing the chorus at the top of your lungs with friends. Go on, I dare ya...
CaryAtid
It's Not Over, Daughtry
RandiReed_MBADC
One of my favorite Lou Gramm vocals. Listen for the fall in Verse 2 on "need someone to make me feel better..." Love that.
RandiReed_MBADC
Very 80s but wanna learn stage presence? Watch Lou Gramm sing in this. Look at his face, the tension in his stance, the gestures...He uses it all.
RandiReed_MBADC
Love that Glockenspiel effect...(Never thought I'd use those words in a sentence...)
RandiReed_MBADC
Actually the correct title is "Eleanor Rigby"...but this one had great sound so I went with it.
RandiReed_MBADC
Years ago I was in a band & did "Hello There" under protest. Felt like an ass because I knew we'd never be half as cool at it as Robin Zander.
RandiReed_MBADC
I still love the production on this. Great example of when to use a vocal effect to enhance a lyric & just the right amount.
RandiReed_MBADC
What a great melody, especially on the verses. I still love this. (Not the best sound, but...what can ya do?)
RandiReed_MBADC
Oh come on, you know you like Cher...Everybody likes Cher (whether they admit it or not)!
RandiReed_MBADC
Love that Robin Zander...RB!@NorahNick: "One of the best songs by the best bands evah!"
(reblip)
RandiReed_MBADC
The way ABBA's vocal parts are arranged is pure genius. "Take a chance take a chance take a chance chance, take a chance take a chance..."
RandiReed_MBADC
An underrated song of theirs. Could easily be reworked as a current cover. But um...What's with the guy who's trying to look like Nikki Sixx?
RandiReed_MBADC
Still great. (Touching photos in the video, too.)
RandiReed_MBADC
Thanks 4 props! May we all have 1! RB@DiegoConsolini: "Ace of Base-Beautiful Life // I love this!"

RB @RandiReed_MBADC: Hey, this guy's good! I want to hear him sing something not sounding xactly like Robin of Gin Blossoms, but he's good. Who is he?
(reblip)
RandiReed_MBADC
Popular w/ the elementary & jr. high kids at the time. LOL I still can't believe our radio station played this. (Really bad sound quality on this.)
RandiReed_MBADC
Someone covered this but I forget who it was. Laura Branigan? Robin Beck? Cher? Michael Bolton? It had a lot of incarnations but I always liked it.
RandiReed_MBADC
One of the classics. Ok, the video is hard to watch. But that chorus is great to sing along with.
RandiReed_MBADC
Underrated singer. A little heavy on the production (hey, it was the 80's...) but an underrated singer.
RandiReed_MBADC
I wonder how many people didn't pay attention to the lyrics & almost used this for their weddings...Oops!
RandiReed_MBADC
There's one with better sound out there somewhere, I just haven't found it yet. Compression sucks...
RandiReed_MBADC
You can't listen to Desi Arnaz and not smile. Impossible.Well, OK maybe if your jaw is wired shut or something...

For Researcher Extraordinaire. Wish sound was better tho.Reblip@phoenix113: "[vi@stena vi@CrescentMoonglow]"

RandiReed_MBADC
The video is scary to watch but I like the song.(Great shots of the old Pan Pacific auditorium though.RIP.) Is the guy at the bar old Enuff to drink?
RandiReed_MBADC
Hey, this guy's good! I want to hear him sing something where he's not sounding xactly like Robin of Gin Blossoms, but he has a great voice!

@NorahNick Was there ever a day KDKB or KUPD did not play this?
RandiReed_MBADC
Excellent live verson of this. Great energy!

Halloween always makes me think of Ziggy. Really nice version of this one.
RandiReed_MBADC
Dedicated to vampires...My favorite Gavin Rossdale vocal. (His emotion fits the lyrics perfectly: he sounds completely dejected.)

RandiReed_MBADC
...and more Alice.
RandiReed_MBADC
OK, not strictly Halloween, but what's a party without Ozzy? (Ummm...I sat at the board at an Ozzy show on Halloween once, how's that?)
RandiReed_MBADC
Fantastic arrangement on this.
RandiReed_MBADC
But for the purist, this doesn't suck. I love his maniacal laugh.
RandiReed_MBADC
Another band for whom Halloween is just any other day at the office...
RandiReed_MBADC
featuring the brilliant Randy Rhoads. RIP.
RandiReed_MBADC
Splendid David Bowie weirdness...
RandiReed_MBADC
Someone should do a hardcore version of this. I think it would sound brilliant gone punk.
RandiReed_MBADC
Hey, even metalheads like Sinatra...
