What were they thinking when the made that song?!

I honestly have no idea.

 

Dire Straits-- Les Boys.

And I'm sure plenty of Prince songs, if not entire albums.

 

The Hollies – Wiggle That Wotsit

 

me too!

 

I always thought he sounded like Kermit The Frog.

 

Never heard this in my life but I'm not hatin' it . Actually sounds like it could have been a hit somewhere, if not the States.

 

Best B side ever, we played it more than the A side. Paul’s favorite recording session, you have to laugh .

 

Daryl Hall and John Oates cover of Stanley Beckford's lewd reggae hit, Soldering. Absolutely baffling why they chose to cover it. It's painful.

 

and?

 

I couldn't resist and yeah, it's painful. But I think what Diamond does to Joni Mitchell's "Free Man in Paris" is even more painful.

 

Neil Diamond - Headed For The Future

 

GnR - One In A Million

 

'Farmyard Cat' by Prefab Sprout gets my vote (the fun starts at 40:10 -- the u-tube link starts too early)

A stellar discography and then this? Even worse IMHO as the first time I ripped off the shrink-wrap, I played the first half of the CD on repeat (esp. track #1 'Cowboy Dreams'); at least it was the last song on the CD.

 

So do I! - the outstanding cut on Nashville Skyline, in my view.

 

pure mc aloon folly! love it! it's so him!

 

so if you said so! t's a great song, hooky as hell! they didin't have recorded a bad song!

 

So ridiculous in every aspect
WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?

 

Yes, because Bob was in the hospital for months and was forced to quit smoking cigarettes long enough that--at he put it--he "sounded like Caruso." Or a credible Elvis Presley imitator, at least. For a while.

Also, a ton of reverb, and probably some EQ and compression.

Over the expanse of years, Dylan has had several peak eras--or anyway notably expressive eras--as a singer, in my opinion. But that Nashville Skyline, "Girl From The North Country", "Peggy Day", "Lay Lady Lay" through "Knockin' On Heaven's Door" era is the only one where he actually sounds like a smooth enough vocalist for a pop snob to tolerate his voice.

 

I would check the chronology on that. After the motorcycle accident in 1966, Bob holed up in Woodstock with the Band nearby, and they recorded The Basement Tapes—no “Nashville Skyline” voice there and it wasn’t on John Wesley Harding, either, (recorded late ‘67.) Sometime after that, he quit cigarettes and recorded Nashville Skyline… long after his hospitalization.

 

Four pages in and Queen have been mentioned but surprisingly not Body Language.

 

Mustapha is one of those where you turn the volume up only be deafened when it goes from quiet to loud

 

come on eileen

to this day i have no idea why they did it or it ever got past the censors.
