Great Music - Nomination & Discussion Thread #5 (1965-1969)

Second, "I am the Walrus"!!!

Need to wait for one more seconding after your previous seconding so there are two in between.

The first two threads it is one. From thread three on it's two.

Hmmm, somehow I missed that. Would you mind repeating the thought behind the change? Just curious is all.

[mae]

That's just to spur more activity with the older music which is not as well-known. The plan initially was the have a waiting period of three throughout, but as things started it was clear two would be plenty.

Gotcha. I suspected as much. Good idea.

Can I nominate one?

Okay:

[mae]

At this point we only need 20 more tracks to be seconded for this time period and there are 29 unseconded tracks right now. Please take a moment and see what's out there, what's unrepresented or underrepresented, and what still deserves to be billed as one of the 112 best of 1965-1969.

[divemaster]

I'll second again once I get unlocked. In the meantime...

Shilling for some of my unseconded tracks...

The Fireballs - Bottle of Wine (1967) -- almost every karaoke session I've been involved with, this is such a crowd favorite. Best drinking song until "Friends in Low Places"

Tommy James & The Shondells - Mony, Mony (1968) -- good lord how is this not seconded yet?

The Strangeloves - I Want Candy (1965) -- the Bow Wow Wow remake is also very catchy; I'll nominate that if this doesn't get seconded.

The Rolling Stones - Mother's Little Helper (1966) -- The Stones languishing? For shame. I need to pop some Valium (see what I did there? LOL)

Count Five - Psychotic Reaction (1965) -- possibly you've never heard of this, but it is everything garage rock should be. A catchier hook you'll never find. Please give this one a listen (and the go-go video is just...well..the '60s were something else)

Sandie Shaw - Those Were the Days (1968) -- nice mix of beauty and nostalgia

The Standells - Dirty Water (1966) -- Boston you're my home ba-dum-pum-pum

Mitch Ryder and The Detroit Wheels - Devil with a Blue Dress On/Good Golly, Miss Molly (1966) -- more rock fun


It's all in good fun. If there are better tracks out there, let's get them nominated and seconded!

[mae]

http://youtube.com/watch?v=lD4sxxoJGkA

[mae]

No, you were fine, Bill. Just commenting on the double seconding.

[Tommy]

Eleanor Rigby is hard to find on youtube. I would like to nominate it but this is the best version I can find and it is slightly different from the original


http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2w8piy_the-beatles-eleanor-rigby_music

If anyone can find the proper version, let me know and I will change it.

Fixed it for you. Most Beatles songs are taken off TouTube but most are found on Dailymotion.

[mae]

And speaking of which, I can't not nominate this classic:

"Eleanor Rigby" seconded.

Now that 100 songs have been seconded, there are only 12 slots left for this time period. Please consider the following 3 songs for seconding before it's too late.... :panic:


This is one of The Beatles finest songs. It reached #1 in ten countries including both the US and UK and is currently ranked #29 within Rolling Stone Magazine's 500 Greatest Songs Of All Time:

Just three spots left. Make sure something truly great isn't left behind unseconded.

[Merlin1958]

The Beatles - Revolution


Why is this not seconded?

[ladysai]

http://vimeo.com/125588239

Seconded

[mae]

Why is this not seconded?

I could ask the same about some 30 other tracks :) There are a few more Doors, some amazing Deep Purple ("April" is mind-blowing), Cohen, King Crimson (you wold think!), etc. Lots of great tunes, and many more could still be nominated!

[Merlin1958]

Pablo, you asked us to look long and hard and now you are lobbying against suggestions? I'm very confused.



P.S. "The Beatles" trump. The Doors, Deep Purple, King Crimson and any of the folks you listed.

[mae]

Where did I lobby against anything? Anyone can second anything they wish. In fact, I'm saying even more can still be nominated. I'm sure we forgot some great stuff.

[ladysai]

I believe pablo's pointing out that we arent done here. ;)

How did this still stay un-nominated:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHVyRnzNe0g

I've been watching the box set of The Wonder Years the past couple days and listening to the opening of this song before every episode. I was wondering if it had been nominated yet.

[Tommy]

Pretty good list guys! Looking around I notice I forgot a lot of good Zeppelin tunes from 1969 thumbsdownsmall

[mae]

[mae]

Just one more spot left, what will it be? :panic:

And of course, like I said in the announcement post, please keep posting other songs even after we have reached 112 nominations. This will just become a thread to listen to and discuss music from this time period.

[T-Dogz_AK47]

For the final place, I'm going to second either this one...



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGLGzRXY5Bw

Or this one....




http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OagFIQMs1tw

It's a real toss up between the two!! :panic:

However, I have decided to SECOND.... :excited:



The Beatles - Revolution

[mae]

And with that this time period is set. This was fun, and it will be even more fun voting on our selections! So we welcome in the new year with one down, thirteen still to go.

[mae]

Here's an amazing song I didn't get nominated in time for the tournament, but still should be in the conversation for the time period overall:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzQzJxsq7ME

[divemaster]

Other good Creedence that could have made it...


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftpcE4x7Nn0


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clJb4zx0o1o


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXJQOWsp6f4

[divemaster]

And Donovan...


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wrOImh7dPE


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTuPbJLqFKI

[mae]

The third Creedence song is actually from 1970, so feel free to nominate it in the right thread still.

[divemaster]

Thanks! :thumbsup:

[divemaster]

The Bee Gees' first hit...


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCRqAzCevsY

Who'd of thunk they would go from that sound to disco-fied pop? (I actually like the Bee Gees in all their sounds/genres)

[divemaster]

We went this entire time slot with no Elvis. :( I know "old fat Elvis" is not as good as young trim rockabilly Elvis, but this great song should have been nominated:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxOBOhRECoo

[Mattrick]

I really wish I could have participated more in this. I find this utter lack of The Guess Who disturbing. Did they even get one nominated song in any thread, let alone a seconded one?

How do you feel about this snub, Burton Cummings?

http://www.gigcity.ca/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Burton-Cummings-feature-530x339.jpg

seconded.

[Merlin1958]

Unless I am mistaken, something is terribly wrong when this song does not get a nomination. Just saying is all.




http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5AIisWNvM4

[divemaster]

Bill! You goof! See below.






http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2owii8

My absolute favorite Rollings Stones song, and the one that was next on my list to nominate. So I'll second instead.

(Oh, and I did nominate another Rolling Stones song earlier.)

[mae]

Actual nominations and secondings for this time period are done, but you can still post and discuss things.

[mae]

Fuck me, I feel ashamed that I failed to nominate this (I thought it was from 1964, but it came out February 1965). One of the greatest albums of all time. Posting the full album, because it's really one long suite, broken up into four parts:

I've gotta say that this is probably the poll I'm most excited to vote on. I was kinda late to the nominating, but am happy to see we've got all the great ones on this list: The Animals, Simon and Garfunkel, The Doors, Otis Redding. [rubs hands together] This one's gonna be fun!

[Girlystevedave]

Cute and fun!

Debating on whether or not to nominate the 1987 Tiffany version. :orely:

[mae]

If you won't I will, I love that song! I didn't nominate the original because I actually like the cover better :fairy:

[divemaster]

I love the Tommy James / Shondells version but I think I nominated or seconded 2 or 3 of their other songs so figured it was enough. In retrospect, this one certainly could have been included.

[mae]

To keep the '67 theme going:

If you won't I will, I love that song! I didn't nominate the original because I actually like the cover better :fairy:

[mae]

We did but I already listed it as part of the "other tracks" earlier:

Oh sorry... The category "other tracks" always confused me.

[mae]

That's stuff which is posted after the requisite amount of nominations has been seconded.

[Jon]

Ah... like Satan whispering in my ear.

pablo, you should change your member title to "agent provocateur."
