No I believe I go 3 & 4 correct, unless they are Bowie covers.

Bowie, Station to Station

Bowie, Five Years, Ziggy Stardust

Told you it was easy...

Yep, all classics from the Thin White Duke.

1) Sweet Thing (from Diamond Dogs)

2) Ashes to Ashes (from Scary Monsters and Super Creeps)

3) Station to Station (from Station to Station)

4) The Man Who Sold the World (from The Man Who Sold the World)

5) Five Years (from The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars)

To be fair there are probably of kazillions of cover versions also, but these are the originals.

Hey, uh, yo ... Big Paulie. Howyoudoin'. Lots of youse types guys in my hometown of Philly. 'Specially down around south Broad street, hell yeah. Anyways, good to see youse here in this thread. You too bis29ter, and El Pollo Loco representin' as well.

BP not sure if you've ever heard it, but on the Nirvana MTV Unplugged CD, at the end of "The Man Who Sold the World", Kurt even says "that's a David Bowie song". Its an interesting CD, kind of like the non-heavy-guitars alternative side of Nirvana -- could be representative of the way they "might" have gone originally, to be a different type of indie-rock band. But the US by the end of the 80s was banging its head on metal ... Nirvana went heavy ... hit it big with Nevermind in 1991 ... and the rest is history.

Personally, I like Nirvana's version much better, and I'm sorry -- I've always thought David Bowie was overrated. (ducks and covers). He was good and talented to be sure ... decent songwriter ... great showman ... but eh. Just not my thang I reckon. Best stuff was in the early 70s IMRO, before all that glam or glitter rock sheidt. Just my opinion, fellers, don't be hatin'.

Then again, I'm not British.

Good set Papa Cass.

NextSetPostin'Man

He he. You don't like glam rock? I thought you're T-rex' biggest fan.....

I'll post some:

1 Big bottled Fraulein, put your weight on me
said the pig-me to the whore
2 Is she ready to know my frustration?
What she slippin' inside, slow castration
3 A Goddess on a mountain top
Was burning like a silver flame
4 I am an antichrist I am an anarchist
5 There are unsmiling faces and bright plastic chains
And a wheel in perpetual motion

Okay, I can get a few...

1) Baker Street Muse by Jethro Tull

2)

3)

4) Anarchy in the UK by the Sex Pistols

5) Turn of a Friendly Card by the Alan Parsons Project

I haven't been so good at this so far, but I'm gonna try again.

2)Alice in Chains - Rain when I Die

Well done! Just one more.......

Jaysus Tap-Dancin' Christ, can't step away from this thread for a minute without missing out on a set. And a pretty wacky set too, Mr. Fowl. But a good one.

1. I knew it was that long-ass song from JT's Minstel of the Gallery, but couldn't remember the title. Nice snag, Papa Cass.

2. Should have known that one. But didn't. Age is catching up to me. Very impressive, BP.

3. Song is "Shocking Blue", got lots of airplay a thousand years ago. Can't remember who did the famous version, let alone who wrote it. Probably one of them there goldarn "one hit wonders".

4. Even us Americans knew that one. Quick, name the famous Neil Young song where he mentions Johnny Rotten. And Sid Vicious -- RIP you crazy fuck you -- Heroin takes another one, this time all of age 21.

5. Like probably many other 15-year-old white American hetero males, I went out and bought that questionable Alan Parsons album in '81 (or was it '80?) because it had that sappy song "Time" on it ... the song that every teenage girl wanted to slow-dance too. And when you're 15, you'll do or listen to whatever the girls want to. Of course I STILL do whatever the 15-yr-old girls want me to. And vice versa. Ahem. Uh, good one Cass.

Thanks CC. Now go make up with Sladebear, he's very sensitive, you know!

RM

Not bad. Nr 3 is calles Venus, by Shocking blue. Will you be posting the next set RM? You mentioned a set you had, but someone beat you to it.

Man that is so ferkin' funny how my age-addled brain mixed up #3. Of course its "Venus" ... I'm your Venus, I'm your fire, at your desire. Somewhere in the deep recesses of my brain, in the part that holds a list of "one hit wonders", I knew it was by a band called Shocking Blue.

However, the software my brain uses to access that information clearly needs to be upgraded. Or replaced. I got the Shocking Blue part, and blah blah blah.

I guess its a bit embarrassing, but hell - if you can't laugh at yourself, then IMRO you're taking up too much space on this big ol' hunk o' rock.

For all of you whose age starts with something less than a "4", hearken to the words of Courtney Love and the band 'Hole':

Someday you will ache like I ache

Speaking of Hole, Heroin takes another one. Kristen Pfaff -- the fairly talented bassist -- OD'ed and died at the age of 27 in 1994. Goddamn Heroin.

Which is a fairly good lead-in to the set I'm going to post LATER TODAY. C'mon fellas, give the ol' Rambler a chance.

Dodderin'Man

Just to respond to RM's pop quiz...

The Neil Young track was Hey, Hey, My, My (both the Out of the Blue and Into the Black versions) off the fine Rust Never Sleeps album.

And I too am kicking myself for not getting Venus. Doh!
