AndyofHalifax 15339 Report post Posted March 11, 2013 It has been claimed that this is "The most rockin' song of all time" CCR - Ramble Tamble Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the passenger 399 Report post Posted March 13, 2013 That's a rocking song but I don't know that it fits criteria 5 - instant recognition in the first few bars. At least not for me and I like CCR. Anyway this leads me to the midnight ramble and the late great Levon Helm: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Midnite-Energies 110563 Report post Posted March 14, 2013 There is just something about the chorus in this song that always drew me in Midnight Oil - Beds are Burning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndyofHalifax 15339 Report post Posted March 14, 2013 Like Midnight Oil, Wolfmother are from Austrailia Wolfmother - Joker and the Thief (easy set up for another song, should you choose the easy way :icon_smile:) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phaedrus 209521 Report post Posted March 14, 2013 Well, I've no idea if this is the easy link you were expecting, but... was the Joker also a bartender at one point? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the passenger 399 Report post Posted March 14, 2013 The Hendrix cover stands out though, and here is Hendrix live: Hey Joe. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFk0uj-e4SE Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wolf Knight 29667 Report post Posted March 14, 2013 Lenny Kravitz covered Jimi's "Hey Joe" Here's the link to that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=eQ_fsA6bAZA but my song is Lenny Kravitz own song, "Black Velveteen": Awesome song and appropriate given our venue here! "Black Velveteen's cat smell's like strawberry kittens" Yeah it does, lick. Have a great day, Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phaedrus 209521 Report post Posted March 15, 2013 And what on earth is the connection with Soundgarden, I hear you cry? The both played Bluesfest a couple of years ago, headlining different stages on the same night so I couldn't see them both. Soundgarden got my vote :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
