I Really Love "America!" Do You?

I just got back from eating three of those new "Black Jack" tacos at Taco Bell. Not bad, but that white sauce is too sweet.

Anyway while I was eating my lunch "Ventura Highway" came on over the speaker system.

I couldn't stop tapping my foot.

What a great song. Agree?

I think everyone on here should at least have "America's Greatest Hits" in their collection.

 

Signed,

 

"A Horse With No Name"

Amazingly, my parents have a copy of their greatest hits in the CD cabinet. The only song I know by them is "A Horse With No Name", and probably a few others I can't think of at the moment.

I'm with Dana Carvey. You're in the desert by yourself, nothing to do, no distractions. . .

Vile. Truly vile. Down in the musical abyss with Bread, Dan Fogelberg, James Taylor and the rest of the euthanasia choir.

THREAD KILLER!

You might have just "Axed" this topic!

Actually I am not into James Taylor or Breat either. They put me to sleep.

As for Fogelberg I do enjoy one record. I think you might like it.

Dan's 1979 "Phoenix" album is excellent.

 

America is underrated. Their "Greatest Hits" record has gone 4x Platinum. Not bad for a bunch of losers.

Tim!

You need to go into that cabinet and pull that cd out and play it.

I bet you will know a bunch of those songs.

 

Your parents have good taste in music. wink.gif

I dig a little JT myself. Not on a regular basis but his early work is OK.

 

If nothing else you should cut him some slack for performing on Neil Youngs Old Man.

 

Yeah, America has a handful or great tunes too. I love the lyrics to Sister Goldenhair.

Hey buddy!

Long time no talk.

Yeah "Fire And Rain" is a classic. I like the Badlands cover of that song. You know, Jake E. Lee's old band.

Believe it or not my wife actually digs James Taylor.

I never knew he covered "Old Man." Great song

Alright. The slack has been cut. 1287.gif

He did not cover it. It is my understanding that He was on the original recording by Neil Young! JT played that killer banjo on that song!

NO WAY!

That is excellent rock 'n roll knowledge!

I never knew that.

Man, you really do learn something new everyday!

What would I do without my Music Of The Spheres Fix??

I appreciate the kind words but really am not close to being expert on Neil Young outside that little james taylor trivia. I do have a very trivia oriented brain and for some reason those facts stuck with me over the years. I really do love old man, and the banjo work in particular so i guess thats the reason why I remember that.

 

I have only seen Neil Young once and it was probably on his worst tour ever. It was for the Trans tour and it was not all that great IMO.

It's all good Tang!

We all contribute a lot on here about music in general.

We are all part of the whole.

Music is a daily learning experience for me.

 

Too bad Neil sucked when you saw him live.

I would have liked to have seen him back in the early Seventies with Crazy Horse.

Great stuff.

Today?

Fuggedaboutit!

 

He's too political for me with the burning of the American Flag on those big concert screens.

I pretty well agree with you here.

 

Ventura Highway was a song I had forgotten about until the band I joined last spring wanted to play this song. It's a cool cruiser of a tune. We played it on our first gig.

 

It makes me think of being a kid in the '70's, riding around in the back of the folk's Chevelle in Anchorage, AK.

There's definitely a few others you'd know if you heard them. Titles might not seem familiar, but once the songs got underway, you'd know them:

Ventura Highway

Sister Golden Hair

Tin Man

Muskrat Love (before the Captain & Tenille version)

You Can Do Magic

 

And you might also know others, like "Lonely People" and "Daisy Jane."

 

 

 

It's not exactly the kind of music I listen to, but it takes me back to my youth in the 70s when I hear it. And all the hits have at least ONE moment that I like, a kind of "hook."
