ChasUFarley Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 Okay, time to put on your DJ hats... I want to make a special CD for hubby for Father's Day. He's super hard to buy for and music is the one thing I can count on to always be a hit. He loves classic rock - Aerosmith, Yardbirds (Jeff Beck), Led Zep, The Guess Who, KISS, Bad Finger, Rainbow, Jon Butcher... you get the picture. I'm a child of the 80's and still consider techno to be a form of music. I need help. What cuts can you suggest I use to make a nice, not too nice, CD for John about being a Dad? (No "Cats In The Cradle", please...) Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve! Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 There's a song by Will Smith from a couple of years ago that is just wonderful. It's called "Just the 2 of us". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Strange Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 I always liked that song by Mike and the Mechanics... was it "In the living years"?... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belle Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Here's some ideas from my very dear, very cool Uncle Ronnie: Some pretty good long lasting, but somewhat obscure songs: (1) Yardbirds - for Your Love; (2) Led Zeppelin - Tangerine (obscure but very good; (3) Guess Who - Albert Flasher (FM only hit) (4) Little Feat - Dixie Chicken (the anthem); (5)-(6) Humble Pie - Hallelujah, I Love Her So, I Don't Need No Doctor; (7) Santana - Soul Sacrifice (from 1st album; Want some really obscure, but great music......: (1) Fever Tree - Imitation Situation/San Francisco Girls (go together); (2) The Illusion - Did You See Her Eyes; (3) Bloodrock - Kool-aid Kids; (LOL!! If you look for and find this one, I want to hear it!!) (4) Cactus - Parchman Farm; (5) Al Kooper - Dear Mr. Fantasy; (6) Rare Earth - Get Ready (single version, the long version is 20 minutes long)/ Hey Big Brother (live version) *********************************************** From Belle: Dunno if these fit, but this is my all time favorite homemade CD and it's got "Dixie Chicken" mentioned above on it. Some Kind of Wonderful - Grand Funk Railroad The Letter - Box Tops Tulsa Time - Eric Clapton Don't Ask Me No Questions - BB King Soul Man - Sam & Dave Dirty Water - The Standells Listen to the Music - Doobie Brothers Hey Hey (Indians Coming) - Wild Tchoupitoulas In the Midnight Hour - Wilson Pickett I've Always Been Crazy - Waylon Jennings Let's Make a Better World - Dr John Baby, I Love You - Aretha Franklin Up on Cripple Creek - The Band Dixie Chicken - Little Feat Ain't Too Proud to Beg - Temptations Louisiana Saturday Night - Mel McDaniel Honkly Tonk Women - Rolling Stones Down in the Valley - Otis Redding Against the Wind - Bob Seager Have You Ever Seen the Rain - CCR Family Tradition - Hank Williams Jr Best of Me - Delbert McLinton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's some ideas from my very dear, very cool Uncle Ronnie:
Some pretty good long lasting, but somewhat obscure songs:
(1)
Yardbirds - for Your Love;
(2) Led Zeppelin - Tangerine (obscure but
very good;
(3) Guess Who - Albert Flasher (FM only hit) (4) Little Feat - Dixie Chicken (the anthem);

Her So, I Don't Need No Doctor;

album;
Want some really obscure, but great music......:
(1) Fever Tree - Imitation Situation/San Francisco Girls (go together);
(2) The Illusion - Did You See Her Eyes;
(3) Bloodrock - Kool-aid Kids; (LOL!! If you look for and find this one, I want to hear it!!)
