Friday Music Thread - Memory Lane

[noharleyyet]

..a junior in college, thought I knew what reelin' in the years meant...ha.

Skunk Baxter on lead..Walter Becker bass.

As a 13 year old my parents paid for me to go on a Horseback pack trip in the Marble Mountain wilderness. The group was Co ed and all around my age, including a couple of young ladies from the Sacramento area. We all rode in a minivan to the trailhead. Much of the way we had poor radio signal reception so we listened to a cassette of Queens Greatest Hits, the whole way up...And returning. About 5 hours each way.

On that trip, I learned a lot and became familiar with the opposite sex, had my first hard alcohol and witnessed marijuana use for the first time. It was the perfect soundtrack to the dawn of my adolescence....

 

[Ben Lamb]

One of the most influential bands of my teen years. Humor, snark, political disgust & wicked good songs.

After I met my wife this became our song (at least one of the main ones). It all started with a wrong phone number, oh those carefree college days where did they go ............ definitely a trip down Memory Lane.

Been in a slow country mood for listening at work lately.

Stumbled across this the other day.

This song is more appropriate for today than it was when it was written.

I've been shopping around for one of these lately, but can't seem to find one on Gunbroker...

I know someone else already posted one classic (and original, I think) version of this song. However, this version is also classic in the sense there are few voices more memorable of the times than Melanie. If this voice doesn't invoke the 1970s, I don't know what does.

 

[fishing4sanity]

Anyone else have a flashback to 1980 and a gopher?

Mike Campbell's inimitable guitar work....

 

[noharleyyet]

..nuthin but cool

 

[BrentD]

This should trigger some memories for some of you. I hope they are not bad ones.

I can't imagine there is a human on the planet anywhere that would not enjoy this song.
This one needs a good glass of something - in my case Scottish Ale.

Dude was an original, been gone almost a year.

Dude was an original, been gone almost a year.

Sadly, I didn't even know who he was until a few days before he died. There isn't anything that did that wasn't worth a real good listen.

This will be a fond memory by tomorrow morning in the duck blind
