IdRatherBeSkiing's Top 20 (Sunday, June 21st, 2020 version)

[IdRatherBeSkiing]

He may be confusing you with me. Which is why my first Stones song I heard was Beast of Burden.

 

[HecticArt]

I should add my [step] daughters hate that cassette (AZ). It was the most played when they were in the car with me. It became very familiar.

They are crazy. That's a pretty good tape.

 

[sadchild]

Beast of Burden is among my top 3 least favorite Stones songs.

(Just for curiosity's sake) which is worse? The Stones version? Or the Bette Midler cover?

 

[HecticArt]

Is "Both are equally bad" an option?

 

[scotchandcigar]

Actually I listened to lots of music when I was a kid. I was just 5 when Start Me Up song happened.

Oops! I meant to quote IRBS commenting on Beast of Burden. My comment refers to him, not you.

They should play that on the SXM 302 Remakes channel.

It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Better than Nickleback I suppose.

Another batch of **** songs.

Better Man - Pearl Jam



Bicycle Race - Queen
I love how this song and Fat Bottom Girls tie into each other.



Big League - Tom Cochrane
This is a big song up here. The story goes he was doing a concert in Winnipeg and noticed an older gentlemen at the concert. He wound up talking to him and he was there because his son had been a huge fan. He then told Tom the story of his son and that story became this song.



Big Shot - Billy Joel



The Bitch is Back - Elton John

[HecticArt]

Better Man - Pearl Jam

We used to sing that as "Can't find a better band!" or "Can't find the Vetter man."

 

[sadchild]

Know and like 'em all except Tom Cochrane, which I haven't heard yet (video unavailable in your country).

With "Better Man" I would fill in the Homer Simpson line "Come here you butterball".



But I like "Can't find a better band" more, and I'm gonna start using that one instead.

I know how that feels. Several of yours on the 333 have been the same.

Are You Jummy Ray - Jimmy Ray

Who wants to know? Who wants to know 'bout me?

Hurts to Love - The Philosopher Kings

I like the snare sound in this one.

Cry - The Philosopher Kings

The words kept sounding familiar to me. It took a few minutes but I figured out why. This was a cover of a Godley & Creme song.

By God it is. I have both and never noticed before.

[sadchild]

Yep!

Black Cars - Gino Vanelli

Yep! Didn't get into this one until my roomate circa 1990

Not my thing but I always found it intriguing. "By the hand hand take me by the hand..."

Blaze of Glory - Bon Jovi

Yep. Thank Aldo Nova for that guitar lick though.

Blitzkrieg Bop - Ramones

Never hopped on the Ramones thing. They've got a few I think are ok. But I never clicked with them.

Quite a collection of cassettes you had.

I only had a few cassettes. I bought 300 or so CDs in the 90s and early 2000s. Then I ripped them all and they are all digital now, and I've increased my song library substantially since then

That's the direction I went. I had lots of CDs and ripped them all starting in 2008 or so. I wish I had actually ripped all the songs. But at the time I was trying to keep the size of all my digital music to under 8Gb so it would fit on the card in my SL2.

 

[Aaron]

Did you keep all the CDs?
I still have mine, but I don't need them anymore.

When we evacuated for Katrina in 2005, I packed all the music CDs in boxes in the car - I did not want to take a chance of losing all my music!!

Now it's easy, the music is all safe in a cloud.
