Day 23: TY southieinnc

Peter Gabriel Biko

U2: Pride (In the name of love)

U2. By far.

Edit...I went back and tried to listen a second time. Nope.
U2 for the win.

 

[nefansince75]

Yeah I agree Biko for me.

Bono is fucking annoying, to the point where I would rather have every summer day filled with sweltering crotch rot than hear anything in relation to him. Plus the line " When I try and sleep at night I can only dream in red, the outside world is black and white with only one color dead" ( Pretty powerful line IMO)

Biko

It's the simplest of lines that gets me. You can blow out a candle but you can't blow out a fire.

Yeah that too Watch the flames begin to catch and the wind will blow it higher.

 

[BigKen]

Never a Biko fan. Have to go with U2.

Biko

Note: These were not my recommendations! LOL.
Peter Gabriel has some great stuff. Did not have the patience to listen to this song.
I'll take U2 even though Bono singing about love is disingenuous - the only thing he loves is himself!

No apologies. You are doing a great job.

I read somewhere that he often will get song ideas when looking at himself in a mirror. Don't know if that's genius or crazy. Guess it doesn't matter if the money keeps rolling in.

Ever seen Gabriel in concert? First time I heard Biko was at his concert. His shows are off the charts amazing. Seen him twice.

I have not wish I have or would but I do not do well in crowds, I watch them on the tele, the guy is really really talented I saw a live performance of In Your Eye's was amazing.

I saw a similar scene for the concert promoting the "Up" album. That stage is actually a sub-stage connected to the main stage by about a 100 foot walkway that went through the middle of the stadium (each stage was on opposite sides). When the initial concert ended, he dragged a suit case to the main stage and the band walked into it (and below the stage), at the same time, the dome top of the sub-stage came down over the stage... After a short break the dome rose and his band along with the opening act African band went into "In your eyes"... then followed it with Biko... I felt like I had happily joined a cult the way the place embraced it.

I stand corrected, it was the Us tour in 1993 which I confused with Up. The funny part, the second concert I saw ten years later was actually the Up tour.

Day 24:

Frank Zappa: Dinah Mo Humm

Prince: Little Red Corvette

 

[nefansince75]

Little Red Corvette

 

[BigKen]

Gotta go with Little Red Corvette.

My brother had a gold Sting Ray back in the late 70's. Talk about a money pit.

 

[YankeeRebel]

I am taking Dinah Mo Humm if only for the comedic value of the song but Zappas band was tight as shit their musical composition is pretty tough to beat

Day 24:

Frank Zappa: Dinah Mo Humm

Prince: Little Red Corvette

I did not appreciate Prince for the talent he had when he was alive. Great song writer, great guitarist, great performer.
Just not my taste.

Zappa.
