Bilbo the Rover Posted January 25, 2008 Author Share Posted January 25, 2008 Hall & Oates were a hit machine! She's Gone #7 Sara Smile #4 Rich Girl #1 Your Kiss Is On My List #1 You Make My Dreams Come True #5 Private Eyes #1 I Can't Go For That #1 Did it in a Minute #9 Maneater #1 One on One #7 Family Man #8 Say It Isn't So #2 Out of Touch #1 Method of Modern Love #2 Six number ones, eight more singles in the top ten, how are these guys not freaking huge on the concert circuit? Now I remember why . . . . everyone thinks they're cheesy but me. DUDE ! I've seen H & O 's TWICE ! put on "Sara Smile" and "She's Gone" and I'm in cheesy lip synching heaven ! " I Can't Go For That" reminds me of getting into MAJOR trouble when I was in high school...it was the last song I heard before the cops arrived.....I'll leave it there...

Bilbo the Rover Posted January 25, 2008 Author Share Posted January 25, 2008 I hope I don't ended up getting kicked off a Led Zeppelin board for admitting this but, when we're on a road trip, much to my husband's chagrin, I deliberately look for the local "Golden Oldies" or "Good Time Rock and Roll" radio station. I like to sing along with what I call "American Bandstand" music. My favorite guilty pleasures are the 60's girl group songs: - The Shirelles - Will You Love Me Tomorrow?, - The Chiffons - One Fine Day, He's So Fine, etc. No way ! you know Zep probably dug all those songs ! I recently read an article about Bonzo playing and in it they mention John playing the hell out of " Rumors" by Fleetwood Mac and SuperTramp (I LOVE SUPERTRAMP ! ) he was a big R & B guy as well.

Kissandra Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I've probably only heard seven REO Speedwagon songs. I don't like most of them, but the two that I love are 'Like You Do' and 'Roll With the Changes'. What amazing songs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw REO and Styx on the same bill back in High School....I don't remember a damn thing about it and the only reason I know I saw them was because I remember driving to the gig and that I had a t-shirt that says I was there.... everything else is a haze........

Thanks! You know you're right - the Zep guys would have been teens when those songs were popular. Aw, that's cute about Bonzo playing the hell out of "Rumors" and SuperTramp - I'd love to hear that.

ninelives Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Some songs that are sure to get me lip synching into a hair brush are ""Reminiscing", "Lady", "Lonesome Loser"and "Cool Change" by the Little River Band, but the all time winner in that catagory is " Please Come to Boston" by Dave Loggins.... I loved Little River band Oh there are so many guilty pleasures I could list but at the risk of my mates disassociating themselves with me, i'll stick to just a couple: The Monkees without a doubt Andy Gibb (sigh) Michael Martin Murphy's Wildfire - makes me :'( every time.

"Wildfire" ! Another guilty pleasure of mine ! I guess all of us that grew up in the 70's have a soft spot for that song, What about "Sad Eyes" by Robert John ?

Sunray782 Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Hall & Oates were a hit machine! She's Gone #7 Now I remember why . . . . everyone thinks they're cheesy but me. I love that one too! My dad has a tape of my brother and I as kids and that song is playing in the back. Brings back wonderful memories. And I'd like to add Sexyback by Justin Timberlake. I never liked his songs before, or since. I always think it's a girl singing on the radio when he's on. Oh and Take My Breath Away by Berlin! I used to bug the hell out of my best friend playing it over and over ! I'm sure I can think of more.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why did the horse break down his stall during a blizzard?! Didn't he know that the lady would run after him and perish! And the poor songwriter! Haunted by the lady's ghost! Oh, the humanity! :'( How about "Please Come to Boston" by Dave Loggins? :'( Or "Ode to Billy Joe"? Or "Billy, Don't be a Hero"? Or "Playground in my Mind"? Sappy 70s tunes rule.
