Stranglehold - Ted Nugent Sister Christian - Night Ranger Carrie - Europe
You included one of my neglected children (Sister Christian), thank you!!
Mine were tongue in cheek... I never understood why the girl's name was Christian though.
Kay, no more of that buddy - we're trying to actually make a great playlist, lol! And I'm putting every single song suggested in this thread on it. Now we have Ted Nugent on it. Thanks a lot. But Sister Christian is really good IMO.

At least they didn't choose Wang Dang Sweet Poontang. for Nugent. That might have ruined thread integrity.

I'll draw a line if I really have to!

my bad! I didn't realize you were doing that.. I have plenty more but they will all be legit from now on.
Although... considering I know how politically astute you are, and you should know where I stand... maybe you should have figured that one out.
I did put some thought into it and thought it was possible that you were full of it, lol, but then decided that it was only my job to build the playlist by adding all suggestions, not to judge the song selections or play a guessing game about whether or not someone is serious. And I really do like Sister Christian!

I love following your list on Spotify, it just gets better and betterer.

I'm a bit surprised to see that you're the only one following it (I assume - it has only 1 follower, so it must be you!). Have most people simply not realized the magic of Spotify playlists?

Journey Through the Past.. Neil You've Got Her In your Pocket... WS Let It Bleed... Stones
Actually you could just add the whole album Let It Bleed and you'd be in good shape.
My late brother had a tattoo with Let It Bleed on a banner over the Stones' tongue on his back shoulder for most of his short life. At his wake, my late sister and I had flowers in the shape of a tongue with "Miss You' on a banner.across it. He would have liked that.

That follower would be me! Spotify playlists are awesome. I had one for years that just included every single song that I liked. I then started creating playlists that were for certain moods/genres/bands. I have 9 followers for one of my playlists. It's not much and really means nothing, but it makes me feel good. LOL

Sorry about your brother. He had excellent taste obviously.
Ripple.. Grateful Dead It's Good to be King.. Tom Petty Thunder Road.. Bruce.. but search for the live version from the Hammersmith Odeon. Of the thousands of songs I know, this song has the best lyrics. It's pure poetry and more lyrics than most would write on an entire album.

Awesome picks!! The screen door slams, Mary's dress waves, like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays Roy Orbison singing for the lonely...... There is so much imagery in just the beginning of the song. And live makes it a spiritual experience.
Ripple is just a damn classic. My GD pick was Box of Rain but I have no quarrel with this (St. Stephens in there too...)

The whole song, you can see unfolding before you clear as day. That's the genius of Bruce. The River, Glory Days, so many of his songs are as vivid as life itself. And yes, I could have gone Box of Rain, Friend of the Devil, Operator, basically anything from American Beauty. It so happened I was listening to AB on my way home from work and Ripple was the last song I heard.
Love the Dylan.. Fugazi I haven't listened to since high school. I should start again. What's the story on the Hip? It's such a Canadian thing, but I feel like I missed out on it.

The story of The Hip is hard to tell, because it's so mixed with emotion
and, well, I dunno, the Canadian soul, in a way that no other artist
has ever been or ever will be IMO. But what is easy to say is that they
are a fucking amazing band (and were one of the best live shows out
there, easily competing with PJ as far as that goes), with an incredible
diverse catalogue that goes back to the late 80s, lead by an unusually
unique vocalist-poet who also happens to arguably be the greatest
lyricist in all of modern music. Yes, far better than Eddie Vedder in
that context. And I think better than Bob Dylan as well. And then the
sad, sad end to the story is that he, Gord Downie, died of a brain
tumour last year. He made music almost right up to the end, and also
spent most of his energy during that time working for reconciliation for
and solidarity with Canada's Indigenous people. He was beyond one of a
kind, in the world, not just Canada. And The Hip also achieved the rare
greatness of being a band that lasted for nearly 30 years with ALL of
its original members, and kept making great music the entire time.
And to top off this Hip rant, lol, I have to add 3 more Hip songs to this playlist, but really, anyone curious about The Hip have to just start listening to their massive catalogue from the beginning and not stop until the end, lol:
Wheat Kings

I know the story of Gord, very sad. Better than Dylan?? Wow that's high praise. I go Dylan, Bruce, Neil as far as lyrics go, so that's pretty far up the ladder. I'll have to check them out. Once I go into a band, I don't get out for years.

It's definitely high praise - I don't give it casually! I'm also a huge Dylan fan.
