1969 just has some great songs. Artists at the height of their powers. The Beatles, The Stones, The Who, The Kinks, Cream, CCR. Holy CRAP there's a lot of good stuff here! One note, although I'm sure it's obvious, I substituted Aerosmith for The Beatles. It's almost as revered as the original anyways. I hope some of these are difficult as hell for you ;) And thanks for voting. You guys make it possible. O0 :bd: \m/

You can only forget what you know in the first place ;D I've never even heard of three dog night! But it sounds like you liked them :) or is it just that you know of them, but don't like their music?
This is maybe the track they are best known for;

Oh yeah:
Jeremiah was a bullfrog
And a good friend of mine
But I helped him a-drink his wine
And he always had some mighty fine wineNow I'll have that stupid song stuck in my head for the next month. Argggh - need to inject some Christmas music stat!

Wow what a line up!
What he said. And although I sometimes disagree with your seedings, Dawg, "Gimmie Shelter" is one of my all-time, all-decades favorite hits. Great number one!
Thanks, Steelie! As I said to Martok in some thread around here recently, my appreciation for the Stones has gone up as I have gotten older. 'Gimme Shelter,' is just a great, great, song.
And I happen to think the Three Dog Night song that is most famous is...
Of course, all y'all forget about Don "No Soul" Simmons and his terrific covers.
He does a great cover of One at 1:22.
I guess y'all know a lot more about three dog night than me ;)

I recognize ,try a little tenderness ...and ,mama told me not to come , from that list . I'm thinking of Otis Redding though and the stereophonics . I wouldn't have known they were covers by both artists .
That was a cool list though O0 I'll have to check more of their stuff out ...thanks for the pointer !
Em, if you want a killer version of Try A Little Tenderness, watch The Commitments. The performers in that movie did all their own singing and instrument playing. And the singer is the best part. Tenderness is one of the showstoppers.

That's a great suggestion MD, thanks O0 I agree that's a great rendition! And I must admit, I didn't automatically think of it. I'll head over to youtube and see if I can find a clip, I've got the album, but sometimes it's nice to watch the performance as well as hear it :) I'm steadily acquiring a list of movies to watch, from recommends off friends! I wanna watch caddy shack later and Christmas vacation with chevy chase.... I still. Haven't managed to watch the movie Commitments, because I keep getting sidetracked by other stuff... But it's on my movie to watch list, lol, thanks MD :)
Yup... Mind blowingly awesome :D
Glad you liked it. I know you wrote you were trying to watch it but keep getting sidetracked, but, is that for the first time or have you seen it before?

I've seen the movie a couple of times before, but it's a while ago now. I've been wanting to watch it again, just because it's an enjoyable movie. I like the gritty realism of it, and some kick ass music to boot... Nice O0 do you like the movie MD, or just the music?
Dig'em both. It's on Netflix right now and I am going to sit down and watch it tonight. Been a while for me, too :)

Oh that's cool! Hope you had a fun time O0 I think Netflix in the states must have more choice, because it's not on Netflix here :( just about to check out movie rentals on TV.... So, here's hoping :)
