The worst song....

You never heard When Doves Cry?? It was all the rage in 1984.

Eddy Grant I believe....

Vax you've heard Prince songs...probably the "played" ones.... i remember we'd say "This is what it sounds like..when doves cry..." (insert choking sounds)......

The only one I *have* in my collection is the song D.M.S.R. which appeared on the "Risky Business" soundtrack. Other than that song and the "fruity hat" song, I don't think I know anything by the artist formerly known as the artist formerly known as Prince.

Maybe because it strikes too close to home but when you combine Geddy's impassioned vocals with such silly lyrics you get a ridiculous song. And I am a huge Rush fan.

I'm not very talented on the "lyric-o-meter" when it comes to deciphering meaning, but I always thought (or may have read or been told) that the whole song is a metaphor. "Wall street shuffles there, dressed in flowing hair"...that sort of thing.

I know Neil's the word god, but I'll bust his ass if deserved ("Countdown", the bright "stuff" of dreams, for instance). but I'm pretty sure that's the tenor of "Bald". Let me know what you think...

Impassioned vocals...read: screeching

You obviously know what I am talking about methem. What a catch-22 that was. If you wanted to meet chicks you had to put up with that stuff and dance otherwise you end up a lonely prog-loving geek.

Today the equivalent for that sort of stuff is probably the eurodance music...

Click "House" and then "eurodance"...

Cheap and cheesy: most would consider it much worse than the early disco...

Only if you wanted the shallow chicks.

I knew quite a number of chicks in high school school that loathed disco as much as I. Liz P., Liz K., Sam, Louise, and Mel were all good friends of mine. We listened to the same bands, we went to most of the same concerts, and we did many of the same recreational activities.

When I got to college, there were plenty of the (at that time the term was) JAPs but there were still normal chicks who listened to decent music. There was a band called Yasgur's Farm playing the college area watering holes. There were always women at those gigs looking for some drink, good tunes and reliving the era of free love.

...and I would never have been able to marry a woman who didn't have similar musical interests!

Is this Liz Phair, Sam Cooke, Louise (and Thelma), and Mel from Alice? (or Mel from Grand Funk)

Again, we could spend a whole thread on bad 70's songs ("Eye sockets in flight, Afternoon Delight" (lol works better than skyrockets), or Beach Baby, Don't Rock the Boat, Thunder Island)....

But FloridaTodd's Beatles cut is a great example...songs by a band that should know better. (of course my orginal song, Don't Cry, was by Asia who obviously writes blatantly commercial pap and knew better).

Another Beatles song like that for me is "Honey Don't".

Can Doves actually cry?... do they have tear ducts? do we care if doves are unhappy... look one just shit on that guys car over there.... hey maybe it was a pigeon [aka flying rat] pigeons don't cry either as far as I know.... hmmm. Maybe Prince would cry if I told him the song sucks

[cribguy]

I thought of another... Drift Away sung by anyone. How many times is that song going to be re-made. Aaaaaargh.
