5fouls Posted October 14, 2022 Report Share Posted October 14, 2022 (edited) Songs of My Life: 1972 My favorite Elton John song. This song puts me in a reflective mood like no other can. I think I said it before in this thread, but it's worth saying again. The piano is the perfect musical instrument. A well-played piano performance elevates a song like no other instrument can.

I took a jazz class at IU (David Baker - and AJ Guyton was in my class)and fell totally in love with jazz - much of the reason is that piano in jazz is such a central part. Thelonious Monk, Bud Powell, Bud Evans, Sonny Clark, etc. those dudes can make a piano sing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrflynn03 Posted October 14, 2022 Report Share Posted October 14, 2022 When discussing 1972 in music the Rolling Stones album Exile on Main St is right there at the top. One of the truly great if not greatest rock n roll albums of all time. Hard to choose just one song. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The class was great but it was on Friday morning and you couldn't skip it because he'd have quizzes. I was hungover for most of those Friday classes and never learned my lesson because Thursday night was the best night to go out! Priorities. David Baker always reminded me of Leon Phelps, the Ladies' Man because he talked just like him and referred to cool people as 'cats'. A true jazz legend. Would have loved to share a glass of Courvoisier with him. haha. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever they were touring close by they would park thier busses on the property. One night she came outside and fired off several rounds from her pistol. Soon the busses fired up and left never to return. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I learned a lot about jazz and developed my taste a bit more. I was mostly into Metallica and grunge back then. I actually have an album of his on vinyl. Found it in the West Village at a record shop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted October 18, 2022 Report Share Posted October 18, 2022 Songs of My Life: 1973 Kind of feel like I'm cheating here since I featured a piano based song for 1972, but this is one of my favorite songs of all time, so it has to be included on my list. I love the piano, of course, but I also really the conversational tone of lyrics. A little story on this one as well. I literally have no idea what kind of music my kids (18 and 16) listen to. They have headphones and/or air pods, so you can't hear what they are listening to. They have playlists on their phones, so you can't see what they are listening to. And, of course, they don't share any information with dad and mom. Anyway, this song comes on the radio a few months ago with my daughter in the car. She starts singing along. I ask, "You like this song?" She says "Yeah." I ask "Where have you ever heard it?" She says "On some TV show.". Nothing super earth-shattering about that, but, it was nice to find out that she and I had a least one common song with both liked. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUFLA Posted October 25, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2022 (edited) Last song on what I think is one of the most underrated LPs of all time, Jackson Browne's 1974 release "Late for the Sky." Turn it on sometime and just let it play... "Before the Deluge." Edited October 25, 2022 by IUFLA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted October 27, 2022 Report Share Posted October 27, 2022 Songs of My Life: 1975 I was 9 years old when this song came out. It was one of the first songs that I can recall actually being interested in at the time it was released. All of the other songs I've listed so far are ones that I came to enjoy as I got older, or are remembered from what my parents listened to. I wasn't good with lyrics (never have been), so I walked around singing the words 'Like a Rhinestone Cowboy' over and over. I knew some of the other words, but not well enough string them together in the order they went. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
