Post an amazing song you haven't heard in......too long
I'll start:
Janis Joplin. Piece of my heart

= new reply since forum marked as read
I think it was for perfume.
Made me wonder who was getting the royalties. 
My boyfriend says this is my theme song. I declared myself immortal on my 28th birthday after I failed to follow Morison, Joplin, and Hendrix.....
That takes me back....
One of my first jobs was at a Cajun bar.....
I love that track!
I'm now balling like a 3yearold with a skinned knee......
That was beautiful 
My most vivid memory of that song was when my cabin at summer camp had to take a turn doing a camp Sunday "chapel" service. They were usually more about nature than religious. The theme of our offering was "friendship." What I remember was that we played that song and that I read Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech. I don't know if I chose it or someone else did and little did I realize at the time the true impact of that speech, just that it was wonderful. And that experience is a nice memory. And what's even better, I'm still friends with those summer camp friends all these years later. Those are real friendships that have lasted a lifetime. And more amazing?? We all turned out to be liberal Democrats! 
They were tears of joy!
I've been going through some stuff and that track was perhaps slightly more perfectly timed than either of us could have predicted.
But the thanks was genuine. It just reminded me of the badass mofo sleeping next to me....awesome track....
It's the relationships in our lives that make everything worth it.
Sounds like things aren't all that bad... 
You're a master at tugging on heart strings......
The only other one who's awake is my cat...
And I have a dog, too, but he's currently snoring next to me... 
My pup, Jack 
But I think any Doors fan would beg to differ on the on the second's tag....
Original, perhaps. Best, definitely not.

Or maybe we're just dirty minded fuckers
And this is beyond amazing.....little girl makes Maynard sound like an amateur....
Thanks for the awesome post
Response to fNord (Original post)
Janis&The Holding Company....whew. And too many know The Rose, not her.
I dig classic mariachi.....excellent track!
Don't judge, but it did inspire me to post this new age track from Wall of Voodoo
Last time I heard this I was driving through El Paso. It was on the radio....and I guess someone fell asleep at the switch, because it just played on repeat at least ten times before someone else in the car woke up and said "That's it! Change it or turn it the fuck off!" 
I'm not even sure if I like the song, but the memory is priceless
https://m.
So I guess for 70, I should make it count:
Best song ever...my boyfriend and I think of this as our theme song....we reference it often, but I haven't heard it in years
Here comes a flock of weh-weh's!!!!
https://m.
Edit...it appears I can't count
Because Robin Willams has sadly gone to the restaurant at the end of the universe.....
Hot damn would I have liked to be a spider under that table
All in one thread! Love it.
And "Mexican Radio" is one of those songs that leaves you with an earworm even if you don't hear it repeated a dozen times!
And, in case you weren't aware, Herb Alpert founded A&M Records in '62, so there's a connection between "Lonely Bull" and the greats from the A&M catalog.

And a special nod to Syd Barrett.....we all wish you and your brand of beautiful crazy were here now......
It was a double bill with Judy Collins! 
Written by Bob Thiele (as "George Douglas" and George David Weiss.
You don't see this very often: a #1 pop hit by a country group from Kentucky written by the leading glam rock songwriters from the UK.
"Kiss You All Over" was the brainchild of Mike Chapman, who wrote and produced the song with his partner Nicky Chinn - the pair had scored hits for the likes of Sweet, Suzi Quatro, and The Arrows.

:
Chapman moved from England to Los Angeles in 1975 (for a girl) and struggled to find his footing. He came across a band called The Exiles in a stack of demo tapes and liked what he heard. The group had been around for about a decade, but their only chart success was a minor hit in 1970 with "Church St. Soul Revival," a Tommy James cover. Chapman signed them to a management/production contract, changed their name to Exile, and wrote and produced a song for them called "Try It On," which made #97 US in 1977. He had trouble generating momentum for the band, but that changed when he came up with "Kiss You All Over" in a flash of inspiration. He summoned Chinn from London and Exile from Kentucky, and they recorded the song, which became a monster hit, shooting to #1 on the Hot 100, where it stayed for four weeks.
A very unusual song, "Kiss You All Over" combines elements of rock and disco, which was the stylistic sweet spot of 1978. It was the first song Mike Chapman wrote on a keyboard instead of guitar; the instrument could replicate strings, which gave him a new sonic arsenal.
In an interview with Billboard, Chapman said: "It's a very unusual song and is very much about what music in the US is all about in 1978. It's MOR (Middle Of the Road) soft rock, slightly disco though not pure disco, and has a sensuous lyric line that Americans love. Americans are big lyric listeners and listen to every word."

Afterward, he played this gem for me.....
Even if you're not a fan of Van Gogh, I dare you to make it through this one without tearing up

Just Finished watching "The Big Lebwowski" agin....(Thanks red dog 1, I've needed that)
I've always been so misty during Sam Eliot's ending monologue, I guess, but I can't remember noticing this was how it went out......
Great movie, great song

a satellite-radio station I frequent once played THE most AMAZING cover of "All Along The Watchtower", done by Melanie (Safka)*! I never thought Hendrix's version could ever be topped (I still consider it the second-greatest song ever recorded), but, MAN!! She knocked that sucka Out of the park and into ORBIT! I really wish I could snag a recording of it!
