How is it that the latest post of mine with power ballads from Canadian acts is skipped over?

Loverboy - This Could Be The Night Honeymoon Suite - Feel It Again Kim Mitchell - All We Are Sheriff - When I'm With You Alias - More Than Words Can Say David Foster - Who's Gonna Love You Tonight Jeff Healey Band - Angel Eyes Glass Tiger - Someday Prism - Night To Remember Blue Rodeo - Try Frozen Ghost - Dream Come True Amanda Marshall - Beautiful Goodbye

How come there isn't a Mick and Keith music commentary thread?

Todd Rundgren - Hello It's Me Utopia - Love Is The Answer April Wine - Just Between You and Me Bryan Adams - Heaven and Everything I Do (I Do it for You) The Carpenters - Goodbye To Love Toto - I Won’t Hold You Back Prince - Purple Rain Heart - Alone Badfinger - Without You (Harry Nilsson also covered this) Boston - Amanda

I finally viewed 'Summer of Soul' at a friend's house today. Today was her 32nd birthday, so we watched the film, along with her mother. It was fantastic.

From MusicRadar.com Jon Anderson: the 10 records that changed my life Stevie Wonder - The Secret Life Of Plants Jon Anderson has said in interviews that he's a Stevie Wonder fan and would like to sing with him someday.

Another 90's rock song that's played on classic rock radio is 'More Than Words' by Extreme. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1xXu-18Zb0

For some reason I found myself listening to 'In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida' and 'Fire' by Arthur Brown in a row. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tfpn3wHoNGA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=en1uwIzI3SE

I've heard 'Enter Sandman' by Metallica be played on classic rock radio.

From Rolling Stone. Flashback: Nirvana Play a Bit of Boston’s ‘More Than a Feeling’ Now some will claim Nirvana is classic rock many years later.

I remember 30 years ago seeing a list of the greatest classic rock songs published in the Vancouver Sun newspaper from Rock 101 CFMI-FM. One rarity song listed was 'Drivin' With Your Eyes Closed' by Don Henley. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvFeuSARN8A

Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody

What makes Charlie Watts unique is that he was using 'water towers' as drums in the 'Love Is Strong' video, LOL. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Te6VBiRjhqA The video was filmed in New York City.

Bob Dylan, Keith Richards, Lifehouse, The Band of Heathens (also recorded by Leon Everette) - Hurricane http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpZvg_FjL3Q http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7S9pAvDBHNs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gztA4r93h70 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75X4bWf5fIs

Since the 2002 Forty Licks 2CD compilation contains 20 songs per disc, I'm going to choose all 20 per each disc as my favourites, LOL. Does anyone know if the ape on the cover of the GRRR! compilation is the same one in the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey? The Rolling Stones songs that Keith sings are also classics in some way. 'Happy' and 'Before They Make Me Run' are great.

I don't see any complains from this participant. Herb Alpert’s “Whipped Cream” Cover Girl

From the New York Times. Why the Baby on Nirvana’s ‘Nevermind’ Album Is Suing Now He said that his feelings about the cover began to change “just a few months ago, when I was reaching out to Nirvana to see if they wanted to be part of my art show.” Mr. Elden said he was referred to managers and lawyers. “Why am I still on their cover if I’m not that big of a deal?” he said.

I should add that when Rush started out as a band, they played covers, which included Rolling Stones songs. That's part and parcel of a music act performing at bars and high school dances where playing the well-known hits is an essential thing to get people dancing. When Rush released the Feedback covers album, did they include Rolling Stones songs on the list? The answer is no.

It was more Geddy and Alex who were influenced by The Stones for a brief moment in the 60's than Neil was. Alex admitted in the We Want Rush! - Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee of Rush talk about the Stones video clip from the Forty Licks Stones Anniversary Tour (which I viewed years ago, but is no longer available), that he owned the Big Hits (High Tide and Green Grass) album and learned the guitar riff to '(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction' while visiting relatives overseas. Geddy said in a couple of interviews that when he started out playing bass, he learned The Rolling Stones instrumental '2120 South Michigan Avenue'. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXQYDfLxVtk According to Geddy, you were considered cool on the neighbourhood block if you learned that bass part. This next bit is from Neil's book Traveling Music: The Soundtrack to My Life and Times, in regards to preparing and performing at the 2003 Toronto Rocks benefit concert with The Stones as headliners and Charlie Watts. Strangely, though, it was Rolling Stones songs that kept ringing in my brain. Although I hadn't thought about it that way consciously, my unconscious seemed to be aware that we would be sharing the stage with that legendary band - whose resonance in my life, after all, went right back to The T.A.M.I. Show, almost 40 years ago, before I'd ever even touched a drumstick. (When I was asked for a press statement about the show, I remarked that after thirty years together, it was nice for us to be among the younger bands on that stage -- considering the ages of The Guess Who, on before us, and AC/DC and the Stones after.) However superannuated Mick and the boys might be, and whether or not they lived up to their frequent billing as "the world's greatest rock 'n' roll band," they were certainly the most successful over the long run. And even though I had never been a huge Stones fan, had never owned any of their records (other than the album of standards released by Charlie Watts and friends, Warm and Tender), I could hardly escape hearing them over the decades (perhaps, as with the Beatles, I heard them so much it wasn't necessary to own their records!). My mental transistor radio started replaying some of their songs I did like: “Time Is on My Side," "Under My Thumb," “Paint It Black," "Playing with Fire," "Sympathy for the Devil,” “Gimme Shelter," "You Can't Always Get What You Want." When Neil has discussed drumming influences, nowhere has he mentioned Charlie Watts. As I've said, The Stones influence on Rush was brief, in particular to Geddy and Alex. Neil appreciated the energy vibe of The Stones on the T.A.M.I. Show with the other acts performing. To the members of Rush still living and passed on; Cream, The Who, Led Zeppelin, Yes, Jethro Tull, etc. were the most influential musically to them. Yes Rush did perform an instrumental version of 'Paint It Black' at the 2003 Toronto Rocks concert. I believe that was just a one-time tribute because The Stones were on the bill. Just because a musician meets another older peer who plays the same instrument, doesn't mean that the younger person is influenced by the elder statesman. It's just mutual admiration society for playing the same instrument and that's it. On a side note, it's disheartening when there's bickering amongst forum members about touchy subjects regarding the loss of a musician.

Sometimes you wonder how dysfunctional the world is and if we're just 'under the thumb' or 'wrapped around the finger' of people in power from decisions they make that affect citizens. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGRnokznTF0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8Yawr0LFUo

This is probably the same reason why Bob Dylan is being sued.
