Hi Jim.
Thanks for the nice adds!

Please remember to always add the names of the artists.
Since the members of our group are based all across the world in some countries certain rights force youtube to block the videos - as happened to me with the first one, the B52s.
WHen you add the artists' names people can try and find other videos - which most often are available.
Besides that I think it also shows we respect the artists and their work.

B52's
Talking Heads in CBGB's - such a shame that place is gone!!!
Devo

Yikes! What country would block the B-52's?

Jim wrote: "Yikes! What country would block the B-52's?..."

Germans... but in their defense: they don't block the group, just certain videos. It's a rights thing. GEMA (the institution which takes care of the musicians' rights) has blocked it because apparently they don't have a payment agreement for this in Germany.

But there are other videos of the band.

Jim, I looked up some B-52s for you.

The B-52's:

Love Shack - live, from the AOL sessions:


Rock Lobster:

Since you seem to like New Wave, how about some

Blondie:

Heart of Glass:



One Way or Another:



Blondie
Debbie Harry

From the early days of MTV, one of the creepiest videos ever - The Rolling Stones, Paint it Black

Nice! Funny also how haircuts define the times...

Sweet!

I was working in Washington DC and we had the day off for Reagan's funeral. I spent the day mourning Ray, who died right after the former President.

Here he is in 2000, live with one of his classics:

Good stuff.
Here is another man I mourned when he was killed in a plane crash.........Stevie Ray Vaughan

My favorite version of Psycho Killer, by Moxy Früvous. It's the energy that gets me.

Whoa, you guys are awesome! I know every one of these songs and bands! So, does anyone here remember Led-Zeppelin? One of the greatest groups that ever lived.

Stevie Ray! Actually, he was killed in a helicopter crash after a performance with all of his musical idols and his brother. The happiest moment occurred just before he decided to take a helicopter back to his hotel. They crashed into some mountain, I believe.

Gotta love Ray. Anybody see the movie they did on his life? Pretty good stuff. Ray's a legend.

Dude! Jimi Hendrix had to be the greatest guitarist who ever lived! He challenged the way the guitar was heard and brought a whole new element to the instrument. His early death always bring tears to my eyes...and I wasn't even born yet when he died.

I'm with you on Steely Dan.

For a laugh, I like to listen to the live version of Bodhisattva, the one with this intro (advise to listen and not watch the guy lip synching):



Seriously, a couple of my favorites

Dr. Wu



Gaucho

The Kinks are an awesome group. I just discovered them. Here's my favorite by them:



Also enjoyed Weird Al's version of this song. For accuracy's sake:

Try the Kinks Live video. I love this one

Brandon, check the guitar thread. You might like some of the clips.

Nice adds Bea.
Sadly because of Gema rights they can't be watched here in Germany. @#$% happens...

Jill's a huuuuuuge fan!

Brandon wrote: "The Kinks are an awesome group..."

We had a great music teacher in school.
He made us listen to almost everything from Bach to The Kinks - and more. Sadly he wasn't much into Blues , Bebop and R&B but I got there by myself.

Let's cross the globe:

Pizzicato Five:

Twiggy, Twiggy, Twiggy:

Lupin:

Some live Lou Reed from 1974 - check out the hairdoes

Hmm, hairdo - makes me think of this guy:

Andre is right..........I am a huge fan of Led Zep!!! But am always getting dissed for it.

Black Dog


I like the Kinks too........I just like music....it makes me dance and be happy.

Sleepwalker

I love the Kinks when they don't rock, too. Ray Davies is a genius:

Waterloo Sunset - vintage Kinks


Days - Kinks


Ray at Glastonbury 2010

Allright! Black Dog! I can play that one! Awesome song. Heard this one?

Over the Hills and Far Away


Sorry about the weird video; couldn't find a decent live version that I liked.

Wish there were music teachers like that at least for the kids today. Then maybe we wouldn't be suffering from the Lady Gaga plague.

Ignoring trash helps.

Do you really want to hurt Boy George??!?

Jim wrote: "Do you really ant to hurt Boy George?..."

Haha, Jim. A nice one. I guess I know what he'll be howling when I click the link...
As to the man (...) I guess he's hurt himself enough as it is.
But he's causing me toothaches big time!

In that case, you should relax with Frankie goes to Hollywood...

I like Boy George, but that video - YIKES!!!

You can see why the girls were screaming with delight, that young Elvis was awful easy on the eyes (and ears).

Bea wrote: "...that young Elvis was awful easy on the eyes (and ears)."

... add his fine sense of humor, even way back then.

Am I the only person here who likes Jerry Lee Lewis, the "Killer"? The man could destroy a piano, figuratively and literally. He played loud enough and fast enough that you couldn't pick up all the mistakes. Somewhere is my collection of 45 rpm discs, I have a copy of his "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On" on the Sun label. If it was pristine, it would probably be worth some money but it is not even close....it has been played and replayed and probably would make a good Frisbee..........but I cherish it even in its old age!!

I have a special weakness for piano players and love Jerry Lee. Coming back at ya!

High School Confidential

I also love the piano but as to that guy, he spoiled things with me for being such an @#$%@

I prefer Fats Domino:











Fats Domino

Oh yessssss!!!! Check out those go-go girls!!!

He made a nice transition to country music once his days as a rocker were over and reinvigorated his career.

I could listen to Sam Cooke all day. So sad we didn't get years more of that fabulous voice.
