Did you think I was gonna write that sort of "intro" and not go here? Xaxa. Again not "Spanish" at all, but... it just is what it is. And I love that little intro by Freddie Fender (RIP),

Voy a cantar estos versos, aunque yo no soy de aqui
Yo soy puro Mexicano, soy de San Luis Potosí.
Caminando y caminando, he llegado a San Antonio
Me encontre muy buen trabajo, y tambien con el demonio.

Found me a little Tejanita, and I fell in love with her
She was so bonita and I had to marry her...

... And on to a better ending than the song?

Unfortunately there are types of violence that you just can't turn your back and leave.

A big "thank you" for picking "Staind" cause none of their songs was on my list, and for making me remember I Ran (So Far Away)

I can imagine that there may be some differences among Spanish and American Spanish talking nations, but if an individual shows with words or acts signs of "origin-superiority" then laughter is all he needs to realize how things are.... Such behaviors should not be left uncriticized cause they tend to become currents.

For this round, I came up with the theme title "The Culturalization of (a) Rock."

Please pardon the pun. You can interpret those five words any way you like, 'coz I intend it to mean at least two different things. ...

1. The "Rock" is the Americas (all of it), and it's also the Music (all of it).
2. The other implication is not so kind. Can a rock be cultured at all?

But Yes! Indeed it can! (By some definition anyway.) And here I might mention (for starters) a certain legendary cadre from Chicago, visiting New Orleans, singing about some other island(s) called the Bahamas.....

Oh I see .... please may someone call a doctor for MoonRide*r*?
yea he talks about "culturalization of rocks"

Man, I think you overdo it, rock IS culture it doesn't need a thing to culturalize it.
Just like every nation has it's own culture, which at least basic points of it SHOULD BE preserved for the generations to come.

Never heard "She's About a Mover " thanks for that mate!

I so agree Moon and Amethyste, about culture ....it's only by 'accident' that we are born or placed into a certain culture and then it becomes our own, and it should become our purpose to preserve all of the good things that we represent....even if other people can't ever see those good things as well as we can

I ♥LOVE♥ ALL OF THE GUITAR in those songs!

Rory Gallagher RIP <3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3aY3xboyEk

De nada amigo. I got lucky in finding that one. And if you hadn't brought up "Spanish" (which led me to Tex-Mex and so on) I could've easily overlooked it for another several months.

And Amethyste: I'm always up for some Deep Purple.

And since you made that crack about me needing a doctor... ...

Would anybody agree if I say this is another cover that was better than the original (by UFO)? Purely a matter of personal taste, but I think so...

Great vid Teshka and a big BRAVO for picking "Every You Every Me" a pure rock song totally forgotten by me and thus not included in my list.
Never heard of Gotthard before, thanks for that also.

It's true, Fleetwood Mac happened to be a little over-intellectual for most of rockers, but personally I like them.
Good picks mate!

[4ycl_ayPHU0]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ycl_ayPHU0[/video]

This song had taken a lot of effort to get the arrangement that made it a hit.
Talking heads wrote it back in 1974 but was released in 1977 after drastic changes.

There was a great funny cover of this only 3 years after original's release called "Psycho Chicken"

Moon you don't need a doctor for anything at all :-) except for that bad case of eye strain, and DON'T go trying to read all of this small print yet, just put your earbuds on and close your eyes

@Amethyste...

Gotthard, yvw....classic Suisse rock, love those guys! i'm gonna post another one of theirs in another thread soon

The Cure - Fascination Street....wow serious déjà vu from college days, and that's all that i'm gonna say about that

Psycho Chicken! Talking Heads (and some others) always remind me of the movie CBGB. Have you ever seen it? It's.......um.......well you just need to try to see it if you haven't yet bcs if nothing else it's very historical and well worth it!

GUITAR!! SO rocks! *punches bass boost*

[dUle34-wB4Q]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUle34-wB4Q[/video]

And the hits just keep on comin'!
It's amazing how much great stuff we're finding for ATL's own little "Rock Halls of Fame".


Amethyste: Ziggy! Part two...

Ground Control to Major Tom
Commencing countdown, engines on...

Vier, drei, zwei, eins... (I had to look up the spelling of "vier".)

More! A little subtle and late-coming, but it's there:

[zz8UYM9MFpg]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zz8UYM9MFpg[/video]

Vocals. Ted Nugent and company never sounded quite so good.

[241TRcDivA0]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=241TRcDivA0[/video]

@Teshka In my mind, everything concerning Ugly Kid Joe was totally erased, fortunately you added them on the list
Golden Earring huh .... nice choice my friend, and I keep another song of them for the future.

@MoonRide*r* You made me read about this ... Peter Schilling. Congrats mate, I don't know how you found that info about the connection between Bowie's song with this one, but it was quite a moment for this thread!

And your decision to close with a strong ballad was splendid!
