Pretty good band (of whom I had never heard), and very prolific I see: I was quite amused by this https://www.cbc.ca/radio/q/friday-m...tory-behind-the-legendary-song-1.5560774

Lex, I mentioned The Guess Who awhile back but didn't link to any songs. They were big here in the states when I was a youngster. I would have put some links if I had realized you never heard of them.

"Yeah Lex. It's not that I dislike most of the postings but I don't want to just sit and listen to them. I don't do background music very often. I like to sit and listen and sing when the mood strikes, so that means golden oldies (top 40 songs on the radio back in the day). An example of what I listen to now and then is Gary Puckett and The Union Gap and The Guess Who"

Interesting article about that song Lex

Ginger Baker, Jack Bruce and Eric Clapton... the best group ever!

Yep.

It has to be Cream and it has to be Crossroads!

...but this is not bad https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqeT7QCmhjY - Robert Randolph and the Family Band are also worth a look, a couple of really energy packed albums with some impressive guests but they never seem to have really broken through https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6I5x0U_XgE

Oldbroad, apologies: I should have googled the Guess Who when you posted that but I expected more like Union Gap and was lazy.

Certainly no apologies required Lex. I take it you're not a fan of Gary Puckett and the Union Gap?

Great Cream!

Not sure if I posted this , but : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBxK3CcOQD8

CD, That is a great song! I forgot all about it. On my Spotify list now.

More excellent nostalgia from C_D.

Oldbroad, I am not sure that I ever anything else by the Union Gap apart from Young Girl which I found unobjectionable but not particularly inspiring: at that time I usually looked for a lot more spark in my music (and largely still do, although my wife likes that song) - different strokes for different folks!

One I always liked (with good sing-along potential) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAWn4FO1MOw

Here's one that I loved when I was a teeny bopper, and it has held up to the test of time. Sublime.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_n33954kGk

One of my favorites.

Hagatha, I love the Dionne Warwick song too.

And here's another one I love that never gets old.

I think I agree with The Chicks version hagatha, and I really like The Chromatics version of Hey Hey (which I hadn't heard), but Neil's probably still rules
And here is another excellent Zombies number (thanks for the reminder CD) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=it68QbUWVPM

The original version for me , every day & twice on Sunday . The Chicks, aka Dixie Chicks.......to each their own . Those classics , I grew up on a lot of them . I had that music on my home , thanks to Mom & Dad .

Speaking of which :

Since it's Friday night

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kY3FO6zIUE

I see Genesis on your list, CD. I was a huge fan back in the day.

I'm afraid Megadeth is a bit too much for me!

I was wondering whether this might have been one to kindle C_D's flame... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=en1uwIzI3SE


...this one probably isn't, but after the Mason Proffit link, who knows? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3z-GwdaKrn8

Excellent , Lex !

Arthur Brown came before Alice Cooper . You could almost call him the Godfather of shock rock, but Screamin Jay Hawkins came before that . Megadeth isn't for all of us , Hagatha z but they're one of my favorite metal bands . "House" is an absolute classic , oldbroad . Love it !

Before I forget them ,

Something a bit more current : https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UwsqoTugSK8

I confess to never having heard of Arthur Brown. Seems like this was his main claim to fame?
Here is some (perhaps) less well known Aussie stuff from days gone (and with a particular bent)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNT0-f4h2SI

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmMeqid_fmU and this much later live version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3agVtY4Z6M

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmH0OeDLGEE&t=121s

And one more recent https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkgOumIrSY8

I've heard of Hoodoo Gurus . The others , I haven't . learn new things every day . I remember Silverchair , & perhaps the most famous Australian band , AC/DC . Speaking of which :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShiShrR_nh8


Then , this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCnebZnysmI

I have always preferred Bon Scott but you can't argue with success. Their live shows were epic. Here is the original of the live version you linked CD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZwLvpTeRTk
This was Silverchair's debut single down here which won all sorts of local awards https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZD982yrmx4
And as for Deep Purple, I found them through this and it is still a fav https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuxljLxapLU

This AC/DC concert blows my mind, trying to figure out exactly how many people attended this concert:
