Scott's #2

Back to England we go!  This blues rock super group comprised of legends Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker, Steve Winwood and Ric Grech. This band is often considered the first super group!  Off of their self titled 1969 album, (the only one they released)...

Scott's number 2 song is...
Blind Faith ~ Can't Fine My Way Home

 

"Come down off your throne and leave your body alone
somebody must change
You are the reason I've been waiting so long
somebody holds the key
Well, I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time
And I'm wasted and I can't find my way home

Come down on your own and leave your body alone
somebody must change
You are the reason I've been waiting all these years
somebody holds the key
Well, I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time
And I'm wasted and I can't find my way home"

 

Scott's #3

Let's head to Seattle! This is where we will find this rock artist.  All I need to say about his is that he is widely considered to be the greatest electric guitarist in music history and one of the most influential musicians of his era despite his mainstream exposure being limited to four years!  Off of his 1967 album Are You Experienced?

Scott's number 3 song is...
Jimi Hendrix ~ Red House

 

"There's a Red House over yonder
That's where my baby stays
There's a Red House over yonder, baby
That's where my baby stays

Well, I ain't been home to see my baby,
in ninety nine and one half days.
'Bout time I see her,
Wait a minute something's wrong here
The key won't unlock the door.

Wait a minute something's wrong baby,
Lord, have mercy, this key won't unlock this door,
something's goin' on here.
I have a bad bad feeling
that my baby don't live here no more.

That's all right, I still got my guitar
Look out now . ". .

Scott's #4

Back to England we go, this is where we will find this legendary, and I mean legendary rock band.  Distinguished by their use of philosophical lyrics, sonic experimentation, and elaborate live shows, they are one of the most commercially successful and musically influential groups in the history of popular music. The title track off of their 1983 album....

Scott's number 4 song is...
Pink Floyd ~ The Final Cut

 

"through the fish eyed lens of tear stained eyes
i can barely define the shape of this moment in time
and far from flying high in clear blue skies
i'm spiralling down to the hole in the ground where i hide
if you negotiate the minefield in the drive
and beat the dogs and cheat the cold electronic eyes
and if you make it past the shotgun in the hall
dial the combination. open the priesthole
and if i'm in i'll tell you what's behind the wall
there's a kid who had a big hallucination
making love to girls in magazines
he wonders if you're sleeping with your new found faith
could anybody love him
or is it just a crazy dream
and if i show you my dark side
will you still hold me tonight
and if i open my heart to you
and show you my weak side"

Scott's #5

Off to NYC we go, where we will find this next rock band. This band is one of many bands to be commonly credited as having influenced the development of heavy metal music in the 1970s.  Off of their debut 1970 album  Climbing!...

Scott's number 5 song is...
Mountian ~ For Yasgur's Farm

 

"Who am i but you and the sun
A sad reflection in everyone
Was it me who let you walk away
Were you the one
Or is it were the same

What are we in time going by
The simple story of a younger life
Happy dreams and somehow through the day
We havent come so far to lose our way"

Scott's #6

Back across the pond we go,  London to be exact. This is where we will find this rock guitarist and vocalist.  This next song is off of his second solo album, and it is by far his biggest hit.  The Title track off of that 1974 album...

Scott's number 6 song is...
Robin Thrower ~ Bridge of Sighs

 

"The sun don't shine
The moon don't move the tides,
To wash me clean
Sun don't shine
The moon don't move the tides,
To wash me clean
Why so unforgiving and why so cold
Been a long time crossing Bridge of Sighs
Cold wind blows
The Gods look down in anger,
On this poor child
Cold wind blows
And Gods look down in anger,
On this poor child
Why so unforgiving and why so cold
Been a long time crossing Bridge of Sighs"

Scott's #7

O Canada! This is where we will find this legendary singer/ songwriter, who surprisingly hasn't made a top ten yet.  He began performing as a solo artist in Canada in 1960, before moving to California in 1966, where he co-founded the band Buffalo Springfield along with Stephen Stills and Richie Furay, and later joined Crosby, Stills & Nash as a fourth member in 1969. He forged a successful and acclaimed solo career, releasing his first album in 1968; his career has since spanned over 40 years and 34 studio albums, with a continual and uncompromising exploration of musical styles. (from Wikipedia) Off of his 1974 album On The Beach...

Mike's number 7 song is...
Neil Young  ~ For The Turnstiles

 

"All the sailors
with their seasick mamas
Hear the sirens on the shore,
Singin' songs
for pimps with tailors
Who charge ten dollars
at the door.

You can really
learn a lot that way
It will change you
in the middle of the day.
Though your confidence
may be shattered,
It doesn't matter."

Scott's #8

Let's head to Spartanburg, South Carolina, (a city I used to live by)! This is where we will find this southern rock band.  They helped establish the Southern rock genre in the early 1970s.  Their name name does not refer to a band member, but rather a Spartanburg-area piano tuner.  Off of their 1975 album Searchin' for a Rainbow...

Scott's number 8 song is....
The Marshall Tucker Band ~ Can't You See

 

"Can't you see, oh, can't you see
What that woman, Lord, she been doin' to me
Can't you see, can't you see
What that woman, she been doin' to me

Can't you see, whoa, can't you see
What that woman, Lord, she been doin' to me
Can't you see, whoa, can't you see
What that woman, she been doin' to me

Can't you see (oh, she's such a crazy lady), can't you see
What that woman, she been doin' to me
Can't you see (Lord, I can't stand), can't you see
What that woman, she been doin' to me"

Mike's #9

Let's head to  Champaign Illinois, The Home of The University of Illinois. This is where we will find this next rock band A fun fact about this band is that the lead singer was actually entered the electrical engineering program at the University of Illinois.  Here is the title track off of their 1973 album...

Mike's number 9 song is...
R.E.O.  Speedwagon ~  Ridin' The Storm Out

 

"Ridin' the storm out, waitin' for the thaw out
On a full moon night in the Rocky Mountain winter.
My wine bottle's low, watching for the snow
I've been thinking lately of what I'm missing in the city.
And I'm not missing a thing
Watchin' the full moon crossing the range
Ridin' the storm out
Ridin' the storm out.

My lady's beside me, she's there to guide me.
She says that alone we've finally found home.
The wind outside is frightening,
but it's kinder than the lightning life in the city.
It's a hard life to live but it gives back what you give."

Scott's #10

It's time again for a new top ten! This one is from my boss Jim's best friend Scott.  Let's head to Dublin for this next legendary artist.  This rock band is still going strong, after starting back in 1976.
Off of their 1991 legendary album Achtung Baby... 

Scott's number 10 song is...
U2 ~ One

 

"Is it getting better?
Or do you feel the same?
Will it make it easier on you now?
You got someone to blame
You say...

One love
One life
When it's one need
In the night

One love
We get to share it
Leaves you baby if you
Don't care for it"
