The 70's draw to a close...

 

Goodbye, 70's...

Hello 60's...

 

1970, time for Rodriguez's Cold Fact album. Revered in Australia and South Africa, totally ignored by America. Rodriguez himself was from Michigan. There was a documentary recently called Searching for Sugar Man about trying to find this dude who was oblivious to his success (that must have been a terrible contract, LOL)

And my favorite from the album..

Soon you know I'll leave you
And I'll never look behind
'Cos I was born for the purpose
That crucifies your mind

 

1969.... the year a little-known sci-fi show would be cancelled. It was called Star Track. It's most famous character was Dr. Spock.

Delightfully obscure selections, teacake.

Oooh, I used to play In the year 2525 all the time as youngling. Along with:
Stuck in the Middle With you
White Rabbit
Age of Aquarius
Summer in The City
Spinning Wheel

(not sure of each one's exact year of release, but, pretty sure I played them all in 1972 when I was 8, when we first moved up to Lake Tahoe)

 

Oh my I haven't heard 2525 in a long time. And you know.. we are almost there. Hopefully doing a ST:XV countdown thread.

 

1969, the year of the Court of the Crimson King. There was a lovely feel for fantasy in this era.

And I'm shocked that Dylan seems to still be a no go for youtube, takes a lot of searching to find stuff that is not a cover. I assume there is some Dylan-bots cleaning out a lot of stuff posted.

But here you go, 1969, Lay Lady Lay. No visuals but this is Dylan so we are here for the voice

I long to see you in the morning light
I long to reach for you in the night

 

Surfing on my phone right now. Will listen to the songs of 98/69 when I'm next on a PC!

Spinning Wheel would have worked for yesterday, 19'69'.

Fantastic choice! That really raises the bar. If we're not careful we'll scare the squares.

That is strange...

Luckily the bots haven't cleaned out everything, yet.

So, 68. There can be only one choice for me. KingDaniel, you may remember this one from a Simpsons episode, the church lady organist nearly died playing it.

I haven't even listened to it yet and I know what it is

In 1968 Johnny Cash performed a concert at Folsom Prison and sang Folsom City Blues, which would become one of his many signature songs. Supernatural has an episode of this name though I don't know if they included the song in it.. perhaps someone can enlighten us.

According to the following site: http://www.tvrage.com/Supernatural/episodes/517702

The song Folsom Prison Blues wasn't utilized in the episode. [season 2 episode 19]

Music used: Alice in Chains/Rooster @ closing scenes. Booker T and the MGs/Green Onions - when Sam and Dean enter prison.

 

Maybe copyright reasons? Seems a bid odd not to use it!

 

Yes, definitely! Love it.

That is probably the strangest double entendre in history.

 

Is it 1967? It must be JIMI time!!

One of my favorites, Red House. I've been guilty of singing this song rather a lot. From Jimi Hendrix's debut album, Are You Experienced.
