Comment:
It had to happen. There was a bit of cheating, of course. For #1 I used the last Beatles cover I bought (give or take). For #7, my favorite band covering a Lennon McCartney song (Cilla Black had the hit). I've used a few of these cuts before. Aside from that, the theme has been followed scrupulously. For those scoring at home:1. A song from the last record you bought 2. A blues: not a necessarily a blues record but a song that is labelled (something) blues 3. A song that gets you going in the morning 4. A song that you think is romantic 5. One of the earliest records that you can remember listening to. 6. A song that you discovered from a film 7. A song from your favourite band/artist 8. A song from an artist band that you otherwise don't like, but like this one 9. A Lullaby. 10. A song that makes you laugh/you find funny 11. A really good cover version 12. A song that reminds you of school days 13. A song from an artist that you are embarrassed to admit you like 14. Whatever it is, it's got to be funky 15. A song for those quiet rainy days 16. A song that no matter when you hear it makes you 'Feelgood' 17. A song with the word 'Look' in the title 18. From a member of the `Dead rockers society' 19. Your favourite Elvis song. 20. Wildcard - Hey, just put any song you like on!
Feedback:
Very nice. Have you ever heard Peter Seller's version of She Loves You? It would've been a perfect contender for song 10. It's wicked funny...ugh, I can't believe I typed the word wicked...twice...
No Shatner?? How can you have a Beatles cover mix with No Bill Shatner? Nice twist though.
Hmm, Arif Mardin..? I'm interested in hearing that version! A lot....and, this is what we come to espect from you! Outstanding Eric. (Great Nilsson choice.)
Excellent. And how could be any different? (I had Arif Mardin on my list for Vol. 2, too. So now I gotta look out for another version of GO. Hmm.)
Fab Mix and very brave choice for #13.
Thanks for the comments re my Is This Music Mix Eric; My old man was a DJ in the days way back when, so I had access to thousands of records hence the Kinks choice.
