Borgoguy Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 There are certain songs--no matter the genre--which always elicit an emotional response, either positive or negative. Please feel free to post any which meet this criterium. For me, there are many. But, for some reason, I listen to and play this song on my guitar more than any other. Townshend is one of my rock idols, and this tune has all of the elements of his many, brilliantly constructed, compositions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borgoguy Posted April 1, 2013 Author Share Posted April 1, 2013 Wait. What? Borgo's back? As it's the season, I'm just acting out a Paschal Lamb scenario. Actually, after so many of you stopped by the other joint to say hello, I thought it proper to reciprocate. Nice to see you, Bob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borgoguy Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share Posted April 2, 2013 For obvious reasons, most NFL stadiums play "Start Me Up". But, for me, this one is the rouser. No matter how bummed I may be, this number always brings a smile. What a friggin' rhythm. One day, it is my hope that DLJ will entertain me by performing an interpretive dance to this tune as I watch atop a mountain of plush pillows. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_ZJ1WGPMQk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borgoguy Posted June 14, 2013 Author Share Posted June 14, 2013 As with Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath has many "great ones" in their catalog. I suppose we should include the cut which started the heavy metal genre. Staggering that they found this sound and vibe in 1970. The witch on that record's cover still frightens me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5yR5XhCIeg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has so many great songs, but Quadrophenia may be Townshend's masterwork. Have you seen the BBC's "making of" documentary (Can You See the Real Me?") they show on Palladia? Very entertaining with lots of interesting backstory. here it is should you have an hour to kill. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjzKZMX9I-o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelticwizard Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Background: The song and album was released in 1979, right in the middle of an ongoing public debate back then about whether the United States should sacrifice England and Europe in a nuclear confrontation with the then-existing USSR.

Borgoguy Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 Back in the day, I had all Frampton's solo records. Extolling his greatness was a hard sell before Frampton Come Alive.

You have really captured some magic on this rendition. Very emotional. Kudos on the choice of song. I haven't heard that one in a long time. Also, I don't remember you having that 12 string. and here's Heroes You are so "in the pocket" on this one. It's one of my favorite strums. Unlike you, I don't have your relentless professional chops. Well done, and thanks for sharing your great gift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
