Name these songs and artists from the 70s and 80s

3 - Steve Earl, Copperhead Road
4 - Stevie Nicks, Gypsy
5 - Stevie Wonder, You Haven't Done Nothing

1&2, no idea

here's a few more:

a) "I've got a baby's brain, and an old man's heart"

b) "Cat's foot, Iron Claw, Neurosurgeons scream for more...."

c) "I sell the things you need to be, I'm the smiling face on your TV"

d) "Goodbye, little Robin Marie, don't try following me"

e) "my heart is black, and my lips are cold"

f) "back and forth I sway with the wind, resolution slips away again"

 

wrong on d)
Heh heh, the only thread suitable for that Terry Jacks song is "give me a lobotomy, I can't get this song out of my head"

 

21st Century Schidzoid Man - April Wine (I don't know who did the original but April Wine did a kick ass remake on their "Harder Faster" album...

 

C is "Cult of Personality", not D.

A is Alice Cooper's "Eighteen".

"20th Century Schizoid Man" was originally King Crimson, I believe.

Some new ones:

g) People think I'm insane because I am frowning all the time

h) All the world's indeed a stage and we are merely players, performers and portrayers, each another's audience outside the gilded cage

i) They carry news that must get through, to build a dream for me and you; they choose the path that no one knows

 

g) Black Sabbath, "Paranoid"
h) Rush, "Limelight"
i) Dammit, I know this, but it's not coming to me.

and,

j) "Two down, there you go, it's MacArthur Park in the driving snow."
h) "If depth of feeling were a currency, then I'm the man who grew the money tree."
i) "I dial it in and tune the station, they talk about the U.S. inflation"

Later,
COZ

 

Wall of Voodoo, Mexican Radio

 

First is Nilsson "Everybody's talkin"

second is "Ariel" by David Friedman(?)

Times up on my first post: goodbye Robin Marie is Mountain, "Nantucket Sleighride"
Black Heart, Cold Lips - Blue Oyster Cult, "Cities on Flame"

 

Hmm. Remixed by some Dance/Jungle group in the UK in the mid 90's - could have been Baby D. Think the original was summat like "Everybody's Got To Learn Sometime".

 

Okay, try these 80's hits.

1) Un homme dans une gare isolee.
2) You follow me, and I, I, I'll follow you.
3) I don't wanna touch you too much baby.
4) And if the mountains should crumble.
5) And you wanted to dance so I asked you to dance.

The most unlikely one to me was the Steve Earl song. Until about two years ago, I'd never heard of him. Then, I went with a friend to one of his concerts out of boredom. (I didn't much like him, I thought copperhead road was very ordinary for a greatest hit)

 

Correct, (1) was Visage's "Fade to Grey" and (3) is Def Leppard's "Love Bites".

 

Almost thought that one was Led Zeppelin's "Thank You"...

If the mountains should tumble to the sea
There would still be you and me

 

Okay, try these.

Q) I've listened to preachers, I've listened to fools / And most of the dropouts, who make their own rules

R) It's hard to leave when you can't find the door

S) I've got some groceries, some peanut butter, to last a couple of days

T) Quickly, check the hands on the clock, it's eight oh five, it's time to rock...

 

Ozzy, Crazy Train

 

Talking Heads, "Life During Wartime"

 

My offerings:

1)Doctor says you're cured
But you still feel the pain
Aspirations in the clouds but your hopes
Go down the drain

2) While the armies were off sleeping
Beneath the tattered flag we'd made
I had to stop my tracks for fear
Of walking on the mines I'd laid

3) You were a souped-up car
In that rent-a-go-cart town
And I miss you
I miss you, girl
