One of my favorite scenes from one of my favorite movies.  

Olivia Newton-John: 1971 Australian TV performance of "Banks Of The Ohio".

The Cure, “Pictures of You”

ohcamil

One of my all time favorite Cure songs which is saying something considering how much I love them.

Bonnie Tyler: It's A Heartache

I can't even with her jumpsuit but her hair looks so perfect here.  I love her voice and I love love love this song.

Chris Norman & Suzi Quatro - Stumblin' In

Because sometimes I just need to hear this song.

Thin Lizzy doing Whiskey in the jar. Another originator of folk metal.

:Stary Rant

Yeh know, before metallica white washed irish music with their video n played up to a negative steriotype of irish.people as alcaholics.

AND didnt even pay for the trad copyright for a trad tune. They weazeled out of it saying thin lizzy wrote it and it was out of copyright.

Thieving talentless muppets

Damn, I love Thin Lizzy. One of my most favorite bands in my childhood and I still enjoy listening to them today.

Helicopter tour of Seattle from October 2012

I found this on YT tonight, it's pretty cool

Gene Clark “Gypsy Rider”

gondorbunny

There are many versions of Gene doing this song, but this was the first I heard…the first he recorded…and the loveliest version of all.

ohcamil

My favorite version is with him and Carla Olson  They were a good partnership.

Another rock'n'roll movie I enjoy: ��Roadie, starring Meat Loaf and featuring meaningful cameos and bits from Alice Cooper and Blondie.

Ladies and Gentleman, The Fabulous Stains

One of my all-time favorite movies and still relevant today.

Alas.

Led Zeppelin the Ride - Hard Rock Park

I see this.

And know I will never get to ride it.

And.

It makes me weep.

ohcamil

Even if I could ride a ride like that (I can't because of my neck problems), I would not.  

Maria McKee:  Never Be You

I was a late fan of Maria McKee - I didn't get into her work until about 1992.  I didn't see "Streets of Fire" on its first release (I only saw it for the first time a few months ago and the ONLY ONLY ONLY nice thing I can say about the movie itself is that the set design was cool and OMG Diane Lane) but if I had I probably would've become a Maria McKee fan sooner.  Love her voice.

The Clash:  London Calling

I'm not really sure when I first got into The Clash except that I loved them from the first time I heard them.  Late 70s?  Early 80s?  IDK. London Calling was released in 1979 so I guess it was sometime around then, maybe 1980.  

Anyway, I'm always complaining out how kids today seem to want to be pigeonholed but it's not like we didn't do that sort of thing to ourselveves back when I was young because there was a definite thing about how you could be a headbanger or a punk but not both.  Well, whatever.  While I could and would never identify as a punk, I always did like punk rock and I would absolutely include The Clash as one of the greatest punk bands ever.

Well, I'm looking forward to another Kings victory.

This was uploaded to YT a few years back but I just saw it today when one of my friends posted it to FB.  It's very powerful - these two performers are amazing.

Jefferson Airplane:  It's No Secret

This is a great performance and it's always nice to see stuff with Signe Anderson in it but mostly I'm posting this clip because it's another one where the audience totally makes it.

The Babys - Everytime I Think of You

John's hair looks fine here; his outfit's pretty solid except the shoulders are way too boxy.  I love this song and this performance but really what makes this clip is the couple dancing in the back.

John Waite:  If Anybody Had a Heart

Okay, y'all, if you insist on playing this song, at least listen to the vastly superior version by my long-term imaginary boyfriend.

I did not know who wrote it (I really don't like this song, it's only John's voice that saves it for me.  Sorry, Graham Nash, you know i love you but UGH no I do not like the CSN version AT ALL.) so I looked it up and it was co-written by JD Souther and Danny Kortchmar.  OF COURSE.  JD Souther only ever writes songs that I love or hate; I don't think he's written any that I kinda like or that I kinda don't like or am meh about.

Clearly I need to go listen to "Only Lonely" now.

Jefferson Airplane: Plastic Fantastic Lover

This is one of my favorite Airplane songs.

Also, I almost typed "Jefferson Starship".  Heh.
