1972coronet Posted July 15, 2020 Posted July 15, 2020 Johnny Thunders solo album (1978) version of Subway Train . Originally on the New York Dolls first album (1973) ; Thunders' version is "How it's supposed to sound" according to ol' Thunders himself .

Didn't recognize the song title or remember the song. Looked it up on wiki and the only two song titles I recognized at all were Lookin' for a Kiss and Vietnamese Baby. I must not have had it heavy rotation back in the day.

I can only imagine how insane they must've sounded back in '73 ( I was only 3 --- didn't hear them until 1985 when I was in high school ) . I love that first Dolls album ; however , I enjoy Johnny Thunders & The Heartbreakers more . Vietnamese Baby is a blast !

But then, about that time, I was listening to Bowie, Mott the Hoople, early REO Speedwagon and Aerosmith, some Lou Reed, Roxy Music, and so forth. I mentally had Starz in the same box but checking, I see they didn't debut till a couple years later (1977). What blew my mind was years later when I found out that "Buster Poindexter" and David Johansen were the same person!

Not to mention that he was the Ghost of Christmas Past ( cab driver ) in Scrooged . Are you a fan of The Velvet Underground ?
1972coronet Posted July 17, 2020 Posted July 17, 2020 This is the single version of Old John Robertson from the Younger Than Yesterday sessions (1966) : ... and the album mix from Notorious Byrd Brothers (1967 ) , which truly "just" a remix consisting of panning , phasing , and Moog synthesiser tweaking :

I think I have Berlin, and I know I have Rock and Roll Animal. Gotta love that live "Sweet Jane." Speaking of which, for a while there I was collecting covers of "Sweet Jane." In addition to LR's, my favorite versions were Mott the Hoople's and Brownsville Station's. (BTW, I consider Mott's All the Young Dudes to be one of the very finest albums of the whole rock n roll era. I will fight anyone who says different. )
bbowser Posted July 22, 2020 Posted July 22, 2020 Doobie Brother's acoustic version of "Nobody" . Don't know how to post the You Tube video.

STYRENE-SURFER Posted August 14, 2020 Posted August 14, 2020 (edited) Some here may have noticed that elevator version of this tune in those constant ENBREL commercials on the telly. Well, here is the original... JC, I was just blasting that BAD album out the other day ?Helps with the tinnitus ? Edited August 14, 2020 by STYRENE-SURFER
Snake45 Posted August 19, 2020 Posted August 19, 2020 I love that Cher had herself cloned to sing backup for this 1987 SNL appearance. Also notice that the band is basically Letterman's band along with G.E. Smith. VERY cool performance! 1
1972coronet Posted October 26, 2020 Posted October 26, 2020 24.07.2018 live version of I Wasn't Born To Follow ( originally on Notorious Byrd Brothers and in the iconic 1969 film Easy Rider ) . The only original members of the band here are Roger Mc Guinn and Chris Hillman ; Marty Stuart is playing Clarence White's B-Bender guitar [ !!! ] . Pleasantly surprised that they replicated that "Psychedelic part" of the song , especially live .
Dave Ambrose Posted March 30, 2021 Posted March 30, 2021 I hadn't actually heard the Coldplay's original before I heard Aimee Mann's cover of The Scientist. Now that I've heard both, I still prefer Aimee's
afx Posted September 3, 2021 Author Posted September 3, 2021 (edited) Heard this version on the radio today. It is played over the original video so that might throw you off a bit. Wish I knew what album it was available on. Edited September 3, 2021 by afx
