Ahhhhh the 70's... and the early 80's......

 

You have a hole in the sky? Hmmmm maybe there was a wheel there....

 

Journey - Wheel In The Sky

Just one of those bands that automatically transports me back to a time when sex required 5 simple words.... "Are you on the pill?"

alright. Rick Danko was one of the original members of the Band and was a an extraordinary musician.... so much so that in his later years he was drafted by Ringo Starr to be a member of his first All Star band (of which Joe Walsh, Levon Helm, Billy Preston, Clarence Clemons, Nils Lofgren and Dr John were also members....)

 

So ... here's Ringo....

 

Ringo Starr - Photograph

This was the song that just popped in my mind after seeing Photograph, although Carly Simon's

Nobody Does It Better (theme from Spy Who Loved Me co starring Barbara Bach) was considered

 

Freeze Frame-J Geils Band

Well that leaves me little choice but to post this song. Which is tipping over into the overplayed category for me, but that doesn't mean it isn't good.

 

Adele - Rolling in the Deep

Alright... Adele may be rolling in the deep, but if she gets in too deep, she may up dead... or alive

Well Sigur Ros went on hiatus in 2010 (dead) but are back touring in 2012 (alive!)

 

Plus this song plays in the climax of one of my favourite films The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. During the scene Zissou (Bill Murray) and most of the cast are in a submarine deep in the ocean.

 

Sigur Ros - Staralfur

Well actually I screwed up as I should have had a band with an S but now we are back to R and I will throw in a gratuitous S too.

 

Ladies and Germs, The Rolling Stones

 

Rip This Joint

 

 

I hearby retract my apology as I simply lost track of what song thread I was in. I should go to bed earlier.

And what does this have to do with the previous group. Well both the Rolling Stones and The Beatles were English bands, and both played on the Ed Sullivan Show

Okay.... here's a tangential connection. This song begins with YA YA YA YA.... and repeats the same 4 "ya's" throughout, whereas "She Loves You" has three and repeats them throughout. In both cases, the song is remembered for the "ya" factor.

 

The Offspring - All I Want

Japan is not in Europe, but this band named Japan came from a member of the EU. Kind of eclectic, kind of glam, kind of new wave... their niche was ummmm.... pretentious buggers who thought Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream were brilliant. I kinda thought they wanted to sound like Roxy Music, but I digress....

 

Japan - Ghosts

Tokyo Police Club - Bambi
