it's a sin that those fuckin non-talent rappers like eminem, 50 cent or others have over 20 millions views and legendary songs like this or queen or pink floyd or other have 2 mil or less!! :((

Remember recieving "Chicago Transit Authority" from Columbia House with Billy Joel "Piano Man", Elton John "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road", J. Geils Band "Bloodshot", "Led Zeppelin II" and Grand Funk Railroad "Closer To Home". Had actually ordered WAR "All Day Music", Bill Withers "Still Bill", Bob Marley "Catch a Fire" and Jimi Hendrix "Band of Gypsys". Columbia sent me (a black kid) the wrong order. I listened this album and needless to say, whoever made the order wasn't gonna get his albums.

isnt there an ethan thread like this but good?

i remember when ilx didnt suck

you forgot the magic word

was reading cowboy copas youtube comments where every other poster was claiming to be related to cowboy copas

haha i love someone posted a 'nowadays' comment under 'S-L-I-C-E: SLICE ME NICE!'. what's the most recent track someone can find where someone pulls this? and not just 'this is when this specific artist was still good', a general 'this is when music was MUSIC', when's the most recent paradise lost?

I remember this song on purple microdot and it was mass confusion and alot of intense shit. lol !!

^^goodbye youtube commments...just added the Herp Derp extension to chrome, which autoreplaces all youtube comments with "herp herp derp" etc

love it so far

what about a thread for great youtube comments? i cant think of any off the top of my head right now but ive read some.

Back then, we thought the weirdos were the people that had short well kept hair. Now it's the other way around. But there's no doubt the music was better back when we sticking it to the man, instead of kissing his ass. like nowadays.

"Unbelievable how talented people in the 80s were. Nowadays, music is absolute f'king sh*t with talentless morons like Justin Bieber."

Guess what groundbreaking and profound 80s track this comment was posted on? Why yes, it was Tarzan Boy by Baltimora

(which I like, or I would not be watching it on youtube, but)

ok, ok, I was in Friedberg, GE when SNAP came out with their version. If you look at the video with Turbo, she told me how it all went down, not to call any names out, but somehow the version that was in NYC got back to Germany. The rest is history,,, Just for those that think I'm full of it,,, we all used to hang at the club in Friedberg named the Studio,,,,,AKA, the Bootyhole

Goose bumps hearing this tune again.
Ah thinking when a was a young skater
In the early 1990's. Now am a grandfather
And still love this tune. EPIC.

After signing this song she forget how high she was up and walked back down the spiral stair..... ROUND AND ROUND WE good. Thank you Rihana

Jerry _____ I was there for their concert. We were BLOWN away by Hendrix! A night I’ll never forget!

Jerry _____ Now that I’ve got a moment to elaborate on the concert... My buddy Chris and I were about 15 years old at the time (we had recently formed a garage band). This was our very first concert, and everyone was in a fever pitch waiting for the Monkees. When Hendrix and the Experience took the stage, we were totally bummed out - and yes, people were booing. Hendrix approached the mic, and in the most gentle and delicate voice, did a two second sound test. Then all at once... he struck a chord, and the earth literally quaked. We couldn’t breath. Hendrix ripped into ‘Wild Thing’ and it was as if we witnessed the birth of fire. Rock and Roll would never be the same. As we walked home, we couldn’t stop talking about the opening act - and I suggested to my friend that he needs to learn to play the guitar like THAT. It was much later, after Hendrix skyrocketed, that we realized that he was that genius who swept us away that faithful night.

omg ;_;

7 years ago my brother passed away. I found this album queued up on his computer and have carried a copy around with my ever since, though I've have never had the guts to listen to it. Tonight as I worked a song played randomly through my headphones. I went to see who it was and found that it was the same album I've been packing around all these years. Thanks for allowing me to share a new experience with my brother. I miss him.

I have a question for Fred. Do you remember my son Barry Martin? You guys were friends back in the mid 90s. He had an apartment in Gaston County, probably in Gastonia NC, and you crashed on his couch before. I don't know if you heard about his death in 1999 but he was killed in a car accident. I wish he was around today to see your success. I am Barry's mother, Debbie Zimmerman. Keep Rollin, Rollin, Rollin! Bless up!

i was in thailand a few years ago, and in one of the go gos there a few of the girls did kind of a retro dance thing. It was fantastic. I swear if we opened a club that did pure retro we would pack the place. 60s gogo, cage dancers. Not vulgar, but just pure let it loose dancing. Fasions of the 60s and early 70s. miniskirts etc. The gal in purple here did it just fine

If Youtube had existed in high school these would have been the genesis of so many terrible short stories.

I remember when this came out in the 90's. I still listen to this song till this day brings back memories.

Back in the 80s I worked in a factory for a while, helping to pack product and get it on pallets for the forklifts. It was a good job for a teenager. One of the assembly line mechanics and I became good friends and one day this song came on the radio. I asked him who it was and said "Argent". A couple weeks later he was killed on his motorcycle, and this song always brings him to mind even now. .

If you see this Lilly, I miss you and I can't stop thinking about you. I'm sorry for ending our relationship over an idiotic reason. I really need some closure but I'm just not brave enough to text you because I'm afraid you'll make fun of me. Even though you're not that type of person. I really miss you, I'm sorry that I was a horrible boyfriend.

reading this wore out my eyebrows

In college I was a night watchman in a warehouse overnight and would hook up the PA system to echo Klaus throughout the building especially on starlit nights making my rounds, listening, and gazing at the stars through the skylights. What a job... what an artist

There was once a time, before the internet, when people could vanish from your life forever and you relied on music like this to fill the void they left...

(EBTG - "Missing")

wow that's great

on a very tangentially related note, the other day I got to see my wife's dad (Lebanese, grew up in Senegal) reminisce with his siblings about "the golden age of Dakkar" in the 60's and it hit home to me how many different nostalgias there are spread around the world.

brief encounters with Paul King related in the comments for the Love & Pride video:

He's from my old school wyken croft Coventry he visited when this was out

I wonder if KittyCatFurbabiesMaria gave him a kitten as a birthday present. That thought just popped into my mind.

Bizarrely, and perhaps as a bot-driven election tactic, trolls appear to have latched on to clips from the 1960s Battle of Britain film. Or at least one specific clip*, possibly others, I'm not going to check. The sudden revival of decade-old Youtube clips constantly reminds me that there's an entire parallel internet that I never experience - presumably someone shared the clip on Facebook, or Twitter, or TikTok, or some other platform, on the assumption that they're going to get a direct line to Britain's voters. The original poster is probably as baffled about it as I am.

there are some photos of the Coventry Music Museum event on the website of the Coventry Telegraph:

Despite being a front man of a major band and a presenter on MTV and VH1 for many years, Paul came over as a quiet and unassuming man. The venue was packed with fans of the past, many who had never got the chance to meet him.

I interviewed Paul for an hour and he kindly spent another 70 minutes in our King exhibition space, meeting our guests and signing photos and albums and having his photograph taken with fans by photographers John Coles and Andy Holloway.

also his wikipedia infobox goes into a lot of detail about his romantic history
