Bad To Me


Billy J. Kramer & The Dakotas***Another band on Brian Epstein's roster. The song itself, was penned by Lennon/McCartney; So therefore it is my two cents, as it being the best thing that Mr. Kramer & company put out.
I believe that the Vox was triple tracked...*

Don’t Let The Sun Catch You Crying

Gerry and the Pacemakers*** Some really fine tunes ; The band was on Brian Epstein's roster.
Mr. Marsden has a knack of pulling on the heart-strings ; A tad sentimental, but who am I to say; What do I Know Anyway...*

Carlos Santana

Burn Rubber On Me

Gap Band*** Yes...This is the groove that can make you move, to the beat. It's not Disco. It's just pure unadulterated Funk.

To hear the music again, we have to go back in the day, when it was real; Old School...*

The Byrds

Mr. Tamborine Man***No slide show or other visual enhancements, but at least the audio is OK.

I've never been a fan of Mr. Dylan, but this version of the song is about the best thing the Byrds ever came up with. But What Do I Know Anyway...*

I'm Only Sleeping


The Beatles***I wish that I knew a way to relax, but I don't, save the power of prayer...*

David Bowie

Let's Dance***The ability to transform his image & material over & over again is a mind-warp.

Ive become a fan as of late, in that he has so may fine songs & an overall body of work; It would be impossible not to respect & admire him. He seems to grow on me...*

I Go To Pieces

Peter & Gordon's version of the song originally written by Del Shannon.

I could certainly relate to the melancholy & lyrical perspective for quite some time. Although it did me no good & only made matters worse, I had a hard time shaking the delusional image of the broken hearted romantic in the throes of unrequited love.

What did this accomplish for me...Absolutely nothing...*

The Confusions


The Pilot*** This Swedish band is one of the finest groups that we've crossed paths with at United Global Artists.

The song & video are super cool...A timeless single of wide dimensions. But What Do I Know Anyway...*

So Good To See You

Cheap Trick***As is the case with many of their tunes, a well crafted piece of Pop-Rock candy.

Perhaps one of the most under-rated bands in America; For my two cents, one of the best on either side of the Atlantic...*

Falling Out Of Love

Mr. Lennon's body of work is illuminating in this composition ; From both an audio & visual perspective.

It's a delight for me to see Sean at his best on his second album. I have always known that the enigmatic & eclectic musical wonder, would shine forth, at a time of his choosing...; As heaven watches over us all.

Godspeed Mr. Lennon...*

TVC-15

From Mr. Bowie's album-(Station To Station) ; Really a fine song & I have no idea about the lyrics per say... & a great hook to boot...But What Do I Know Anyway...*

The Who

Eminence Front***It's a put-on...; I think Mr. Townsend was using an Arp-2600 synthesizer, to go along with his adroit guitar style & the fellows, are alright...*

P.O.D.

Youth Of The Nation***A great atmosphere to go along with a great song...*

CloudBusting

Kate Bush***An eclectic enigma...wonderful lyrical concept.

"But every time it rains, you're here in my head, like the sun coming out, I just know that something good is gonna happen.".

"I don't know when, but just saying it could even make it happen..".*

What Do You Want From Life

The Tubes***I saw them live back in the day; Put on a great show...But...What Do You Want From Life ?

C'Est la Vie

This must be one of the best songs that Mr. Nevil has done. A song with a pocket & could almost say...the D word- danceable. The Video shows a mostly female lineup...I dunno...; The horns could be real or a synthesis, it doesn't matter.

Godspeed Mr. Nevil...*

I Am The Walrus

Mr. Lennon is such an enigmatic & eclectic artist, it defies definition. Lyrically this song is a mind blower.

When the first T.V. broadcast of Magical Mystery Tour in England was aired, it was in black & white & didn't go over too well with the average viewer. But what does it matter. It's a mind-game anyway...*
