I might try and join today as I am sick and stuck at home with a cold cos of the damn air conditioning :D

I endorse this since 'Daddy' didn't get a play at the #1 albums sessions x (I did consider playing it as an opener since the album was the last one in its week but went with 'Everyday Life' instead)

If you play that, can you make it the last song? Father's Day isn't a particularly joyful occasion for me this year :(

Edited July 8, 20232 yr by jimwatts

Happy that I was able to attend most of it this week. I think my favourite moment was observing some people's first-time reactions to 'Heart Full of Soul' as it's a huge favourite :wub:

Thanks for a great session all. Best and worst poll for this week now up in the Retro forum! :cheer:

I was positively surprised at the high quality of the songs and how many I liked

cos when I think early 60s, is not really my kinda music :o but was wrong

Faves from week 2:

Classics: 'All Day And All Of The Night', 'Downtown', 'Stranger On The Shore'

Discoveries: 'Scarlett O'Hara', 'Pepe', 'Atlantis' (basically all the instrumentals were pretty good but those ones stood out the most), 'Lazy River', 'Wild Wind', 'Bits And Pieces'

 

Worst songs: 'Someone Else's Buhyeby' (-squirms-), 'Speedy Gonzales', 'Swiss Maid'

 

This week was actually more like I expected the first week to be with a lot more songs that I just didn't really have a strong opinion on either way, but still a good amount of highlights there.

 

Also a good discovery of The Animals' bonus track (I wasn't quite as impressed by the #2).

A reminder to go downtown to the Retro forum and choose your best and worst if you haven’t already!

There'll be another 50 #2s to cover this Sunday, although two of those are double A-sides and we have the small matter of a 6-track EP *.* The turnover at #2 has really picked up so this will take us forward just over 3 years, to the end of 1968.

 

A slower turnover at 3-5 means there are merely 111 songs for you to choose from for this week's bonus section. As before, you are welcome to nominate up to five of these:

Getting to the real classics now :wub:

 

Supremes - You Can't Hurry Love

Jimi Hendrix Experience - Purple Haze

Otis Redding - (Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay

Bob Dylan - Like A Rolling Stone

The Monkees - Daydream Believer

 

(+ I Say a Little Prayer if someone else could nominate x)

The Monkees - Daydream Believer

Richard Harris - Macarthur Park

The Four Tops - Walk Away Renee

The Small Faces - Itchycoo Park

The Move - I Can Hear The Grass Grow

Barry Mcguire - Eve Of Destruction

Mamas And The Papas - Monday Monday

That was tough. A lot of great songs had to be eliminated :(

I was hoping you would second Macarthur Park, that will be an experience for anyone who hasn't heard it before.
