Entry: More Rampant Copycatism. * Monday, July 24, 2006

Here's a little musical exercise I saw at Cheezy's. The first step is to write down 10 bands quickly- the first ten off the top of your head. Mine are:

Pink Floyd
The Kinks
The Grateful Dead
The Moody Blues
Led Zeppelin
The Who
Bela Fleck and the Flecktones
Jeff Beck
The Beatles
Phish

Then, there's the questions.............

1. What was the first song you ever heard by 6? "Pinball Wizard"

2. What is your favourite album of 8? It's impossible to pick just one, but I'm still very enamored of his most recent, Jeff.

3. What is your favourite lyric of 5? "Lots of people talkin', very few of them know the soul of a woman was created below."

4. How many times have you seen 4 live? Once. My first concert!

5. What is your favourite song by 7? I love their version of "Hoedown".

6. Is there a song of 3 that makes you sad? "He's Gone"

7.What is your favourite lyric of 9? I've delayed posting this for 24 hours because I just can't answer this question. I almost chose the 2nd verse of "Let It Be", but there are SO MANY OTHER good ones. Hell, the Revolver album alone has me stymied.

8. What is your favourite song by 1? "Echoes"

9. How did you get into 8? Through friends.

10. What is your favourite song by 4? "Watching and Waiting"

11. How many times have you seen 1 live? Three

12. What is a good memory concerning 2? Scoring a fantastic video boot of one of their 70's shows

13. Is there a song by 2 that makes you sad? "Celluloid Heroes"

14. What is your favourite song of 6? "Long Live Rock"!

15. How did you become a fan of 10? A friend who didn't like them but knew I would brought a disc over and played it for me.

* Not to be confused with "Copycatechism", which is plagiaristic religious instruction.

	Paula July 24, 2006 10:27 PM PDT I stole it and will be posting it tomorrow. Fun meme!


	Cheezy July 25, 2006 01:26 AM PDT You like some great classic rock alright. Your list really brought back some memories (most of them good!)... I feel like listening to some Quadrophenia or Village Green Preservation Society now! (but i'm at work) :-(


	Mark July 25, 2006 05:32 AM PDT Why does "He's Gone" make peeps sad? If they knew what it was about, it wouldn't, cuz it ain't about missing someone that you like.


	Joe the Troll July 25, 2006 05:58 AM PDT Yeah, but it always reminds you of the friend that passed on anyway. In my case, several friends.


	O' Tim July 25, 2006 10:59 AM PDT For real, Mark - "Nothin' left to do but smile, smile, smile!" Still, it has a sad tone and can certainly be interpreted "sadly." My "sad Dead tune" money goes to Wharf Rat (or Jack Straw, or Brown-Eyed Women, or Ship of Fools, or....)


	Joe the Troll July 25, 2006 05:51 PM PDT "Wharf Rat" was my first choice, but the underlying message of hope for all lifts me back up. So I changed my mind. I guess I could have chosen "France" because, let's face it, that song is just fucking SAD.


	Mark July 25, 2006 06:09 PM PDT Fare thee well, my honey... Fare thee well, my only true one. All the birds that were singin' are flown, except you alone. Goin to leave this Brokedoen Palace , on my hands and my knees, I will roll, roll, roll. You guys don't know from sad!


	O'Tim July 25, 2006 09:41 PM PDT Brokedown sad? Somber maybe, but like WR it's got that damn hope thing going for it! FIE! <em>I guess I could have chosen "France" because, let's face it, that song is just fucking SAD.</em> LMFAO!


	nat July 26, 2006 07:37 PM PDT I love this!!
