Not only a great chord pattern to kick things off, but my favorite opening stanza in rock history, probably.

Standing on the corner,

Suitcase in my hand.

Jack is in his corset, Jane is in her vest,

And me, I'm in a rock and roll band!

House of the Rising Sun - The Animals

That's certainly one of my all-time favorite songs. I especially love the intro.

I'll go with "Fire And Rain" by James Taylor.

I ADORE this song.

Well that's settled then, bb.

Shoutbox

Kapitan: A new No. 1 in the Hot 100 thread, the final one of 1961 (and first of 1962). Sept 13, 2024 19:17:02 GMT

jk: As a comment on Sheriff's most recent "RR&R" post, Joe's first 45 in the UK was "Marjorine": www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2vRA3yhGbE. It was part of my piano repertoire for a while. I recall Joe was an inveterate air guitarist! Sept 14, 2024 10:52:42 GMT *

Kapitan: The next No. 1 from the Hot 100, well, we're skipping that, having already covered it back in the 1960 chart-toppers. But ironically, the song that knocked it off the top spot in 1962 was also inspired by and capitalizing on it. Sept 18, 2024 19:47:47 GMT

jk: I'll look in there and comment soon.

Sept 19, 2024 10:52:41 GMT

jk: I'll give the album covers thread another day or two to develop, otherwise out it goes. It seemed like a good idea at the time! Sept 22, 2024 9:20:37 GMT *

Kapitan: Leave it, jk (not that I'm in a position to give orders, just suggesting). No need to disappear history, plus someone will want to post in it eventually: it's an evergreen topic. (We were just talking about liking having old threads around to revive.) Sept 22, 2024 11:53:28 GMT

B.E.: Yeah, keep it around. It's a good thread. Sept 22, 2024 13:52:31 GMT

jk: Thanks -- I'll keep it around! Sept 22, 2024 14:54:11 GMT

Rob: Yes, keep it around. I think the lack of posts so far might be due to the very subjective nature of the topic. Much of it has to do with the type of music a person listens to in the first place, so one man's trash is another man's girlfriend, so to speak. Sept 25, 2024 1:26:29 GMT

kds: I would love to contribute to that thread, but posting images is a struggle at the moment Sept 25, 2024 13:16:31 GMT

Kapitan: I've begun giving that thread some thought as well. My first thought is, I really don't think about album covers in a positive way very often: it's more negative, or unnoticed/neutral with me. (I'm not an especially visual arts person.) Sept 25, 2024 14:37:42 GMT

Kapitan: A new tune in the Hot 100 thread: another confusing back-story and a vocal bass line that seems custom made for Mike Love (who did in fact sing it live, anyway). Sept 27, 2024 15:16:46 GMT

jk: Respect to monolithic for launching and maintaining some great new threads here and at EH. The proverbial breath of fresh air.

Sept 30, 2024 19:53:42 GMT

Kapitan: Indeed, but also other new and newish members contributing. It's always fun when new voices join in. Sept 30, 2024 20:35:34 GMT

monolithic: Thank you for the kind comments which I hadn't noticed until now. Oct 11, 2024 22:27:34 GMT

jk: You're welcome, M.

Oct 12, 2024 14:51:26 GMT

jk: Kapitan, please let us know if one of us has to take over the Hot 100 #1's thread. You realize it would be second best, but at least it would keep going... Oct 26, 2024 18:30:34 GMT *

Kapitan:

Oct 26, 2024 20:11:48 GMT

Kapitan: New Hot 100 #1. Oct 28, 2024 14:58:58 GMT

Kapitan: We say farewell to one of the most successful female recording artists ever with the latest--and her last--Hot 100 No. 1. Nov 14, 2024 20:18:38 GMT
