Johnny Nash

George Thorogood playing Chuck Berry. Man, music played on guitars just doesn't get better than this. Thanks br801 for reminding me

 

[br801]

Linda Ronstadt... prolific 70s output. Always seemed to choose great and interesting songs to cover, and did a pretty good job with them for the most part.

[song: When Will I Be Loved]

Ronstadt really was willing to take on anything...

[song: That'll Be the Day]

George Thorogood and the Destroyers

[song: Bad to the Bone]

[song: I Drink Alone]

These two songs were both from Thorogood's 80s output (and I believe both are already in the 80s music thread)

the other two GT cuts you posted are from the 70s

[song: When Will I Be Loved]

I almost posted a Linda Ronstadt vid last night and was going to make a similar comment, virtually all of her hits after she left The Stone Poneys were covers - I didn't realize that until a few days ago.

I also almost posted the Badfinger vid you posted. You, more than anyone, have posted vids I would've eventually added - good job.

My bad, the old memory ain't what she used to be. I usually check something if I'm not sure. I'll un-tag them from this thread.

 

[CuseFaninVT]

This song still disturbs the hell out of me.

[s o n g : Down in the Tube Station at Midnight]

That's awesome. I'm sad I didn't know this one before today. Great stuff.

You and moqui (and many others) have posted a ton of great stuff here -- I'm giving out more "likes" than tee these days.

I usually go for quality, but a little cheese once in while can't hurt.

Probably best not to listen to this, though, lest it get stuck in your head.
