37) Slip Into The Crowd - 39 Steps ( Lucas )

 

.. I still remember watching Much Music on the big satellite dish circa 1987, hoping for something sort of heavy and rebellious, as by that point, all my favorite heavy bands had become comical ..

 

Slip Into The Crowd was a song I immediately took to .. The 39 Steps were from Canada, and unfortunately never had the success they probably deserved, although they were featured in Woody Allen's Annie Hall playing this song when Woody was dragged into CBGBs by Dianne Weist on a date ..

 

Great song

38) Breakthru - Queen (Entre_Perpetuo)

 

My favorite Queen song of the 80s, a somewhat little known gem (though it was a hit in some places) off of their magical and fun 1989 release, The Miracle. From the gorgeous a Capella intro, to Roger and Deacy throwing together one of their greatest drum and bass combos ever (the rolling steam train beat and the poppy, jumpy, boggie bass line), to Brian's ever perfect guitar work and theatrics, to the music video shot aboard the "Miracle Express." What a song. No sign of a dying singer to be found here. And also one of Freddie's best vocals.

I know that hardly anyone knows much about this obscure trio from Toronto, but they had a good tune every once in a while. Even a broken clock gets it right twice a day. The Weapon is one of their more memorable songs. :madra:

 

How many times did I watch this in 1/2 D ? Too many times.

The extended version on Extraterrestrial Live is a tour de force featuring some of axemaster Buck Dharma's best work. And fantasy writer Michael Moorcock guested on lyrics here.

 

The chord change in the verses from D ("it's time I changed and grew") to B and F#m ("but the war's still going on, dear") still gets me every time...

I don't know who they think they are, and it's a wonder to me how this song even slipped through the cracks.

 

Does anyone know whatever happened to them? I thought I remembered a rumor about one of them having to go work in a soup factory to make ends meet, but I could never find out if that was true or not.

42) The Day Before you Came - ABBA (KenJennings)

 

This was the last song that ABBA ever recorded. And I always liked their catchy pop tracks, but occasionally they'd release tracks with a little more feel. I first heard this song when Steven Wilson covered it a few years ago, but after going back to the original; it's a really unique, deceptively simple song for the Swedish Supergroup. Agnatha's vocals are presented in a semi-spoken tone, using her unrestrained Swedish accent instead of the more Americanized pop vocal styling they used more often. It's a mellow and thoughtful song, recounting the unknowing struggle of a lonely 9-5 life. The lyric "at the time I never even noticed I was blue" echoes the message of the song perfectly. It's interesting how the song acts as a somber eulogy for a sadder time in life, carefully hiding the a subtext of joy and release. The lyrics are almost a mirror to the band at its end; serving as an optimistic reminder of how much better the future can be, but it accomplishes this goal in a deceptively morose style. In some ways Rush's The Garden reminds me of The Day Before You Came in that sense: it's bittersweet through and through, and in my opinion a rare, fully fulfilling artistic walk off.

Because she lived on the 2nd floor, upstairs from me....I never asked her what it was. Good tune man

[Disembodied Spirit]

35) The Weapon - Rush (Lorraine)

 

I know that hardly anyone knows much about this obscure trio from Toronto, but they had a good tune every once in a while. Even a broken clock gets it right twice a day. The Weapon is one of their more memorable songs. :madra:

Canadian bands...who do they think they are? Tell them to take their Molson and head back to Toronna

I don't know who they think they are, and it's a wonder to me how this song even slipped through the cracks.

 

Does anyone know whatever happened to them? I thought I remembered a rumor about one of them having to go work in a soup factory to make ends meet, but I could never find out if that was true or not.

Rumor is the bass player whatever her name was, she works in the front office of the Toronna Blue Jays

The drummer is a whacky madman who was last seen riding his motorcycle in South America

Someone said the blonde guitarist plays an acoustic set every Friday night at the Ritz Carlton in Naples, Florida

42) The Day Before you Came - ABBA (KenJennings)

 

This was the last song that ABBA ever recorded. And I always liked their catchy pop tracks, but occasionally they'd release tracks with a little more feel. I first heard this song when Steven Wilson covered it a few years ago, but after going back to the original; it's a really unique, deceptively simple song for the Swedish Supergroup. Agnatha's vocals are presented in a semi-spoken tone, using her unrestrained Swedish accent instead of the more Americanized pop vocal styling they used more often. It's a mellow and thoughtful song, recounting the unknowing struggle of a lonely 9-5 life. The lyric "at the time I never even noticed I was blue" echoes the message of the song perfectly. It's interesting how the song acts as a somber eulogy for a sadder time in life, carefully hiding the a subtext of joy and release. The lyrics are almost a mirror to the band at its end; serving as an optimistic reminder of how much better the future can be, but it accomplishes this goal in a deceptively morose style. In some ways Rush's The Garden reminds me of The Day Before You Came in that sense: it's bittersweet through and through, and in my opinion a rare, fully fulfilling artistic walk off.

 

 

ETA:

 

I wanna kiss you for adding ABBA.
