― ice cr?m, Thursday, 1 September 2011 17:16 (thirteen years ago)

Neil Young by a country mile

― I can feel it in my spiritual hat (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 1 September 2011 17:23 (thirteen years ago)

the rest of these songs range from execrable to irrelevant

― I can feel it in my spiritual hat (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 1 September 2011 17:24 (thirteen years ago)

Almost voted for Young, mainly because "Imagine" was on Clear Channel's list of Songs We Very Strongly "Suggest" Our Stations Not Play Right Now. But had to go with Stevie.

OMG that Singles Jukebox comment. CaptainLorax?

― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Thursday, 1 September 2011 17:29 (thirteen years ago)

did anyone watch this when this was on, I vaguely remember it, which means I did

― puff puff post (uh oh I'm having a fantasy), Thursday, 1 September 2011 17:34 (thirteen years ago)

I think I actually saw the "Wish You Were Here" performance live

― beemer, I mean BIMMER douchebag (DJP), Thursday, 1 September 2011 17:34 (thirteen years ago)

I like how Neil Young changes the line "Imagine no possessions, I wonder if you can" to "..I wonder if *I* can", tempering the line's accusatory tone with self-doubt.

Normally I would vote for Neil Young for anything, but frankly, I never want to hear anyone do "Imagine" ever again. So when in doubt, Bruce.

Hey, didn't Macca play his shitty song? And didn't the Who do "Won't Get Fooled Again?"

― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 9 September 2011 23:58 (thirteen years ago)

the Stevie bit was brilliant.

― piscesx, Saturday, 10 September 2011 04:32 (thirteen years ago)

Josh, you're thinking of The Concert For New York City, which happened on October 20, 2001.

I hope this question doesn't offend anyone, but does anyone know of any songs about 9/11 that question the official version of what happened?

― Iago Galdston, Sunday, 11 September 2011 18:27 (thirteen years ago)

i'm sure captainlorax has some home recordings he can share with you
