ENOUGH WITH THE "FAVORITE SONG OF" THREADS ALREADY!

[Doug the Dem]

Oy!



Who's with me on this? Do we have to go over every single year from the fucking Bronze Age to the Present? Next we'll be having Favorite Guitar Solos by Swedish-Americans in March of 1978!

To reiterate: Oy!

[Tiggeroshii]

1. So.. whats your favorite guitar solos by swedish Americans in March of 1978 then?

[unblock]

10. I'm guessing yngwie malmsteen's powerhouse demo

[Iggo]

67. I was just going to make some flip comment here, but I just spent ten minutes over at YouTube...

...listening to Voodoo Nights by Powerhouse.

WOW!!!

[unblock]

68. I know! He's on every "greatest guitarist you've never heard of" list

[Iggo]

69. Fifteen years old at the time, and all he needed was a little polish (and a scalloped fretboard).

Damned decent guitar player.

[Jake Stern]

2. I haven't even posted my "What's your favorite song from 1726?" thread yet!

Give a fella a chance

ON EDIT: Okay posted.

[Docreed2003]

14. Lmfao...the irony I'm experiencing when I see this post...after I've posted a reply to your OP

Perhaps I should cut back on the Jack Daniel's, lol

[dweller]

3. oy yeh

[Phentex]

29. I LOVE BABE!

Need more babe videos.

[demmiblue]

4. If you don't like them...

either trash the threads or auto-trash "favorite song" by keyword.

[LenaBaby61]

8. "Either trash the threads or auto-trash "favorite song" by keyword."

Thank You! Gonna go do that asap!

To be honest, I'm tiring of those threads also

[Special Prosciuto]

5. What's Your Favorite Song From 1815?

[Docreed2003]

16. For me....this from Beethoven!

Cello Sonata No 4

[chillfactor]

6. I agree...

those threads along with the what's for dinner threads.

[unblock]

7. ENOUGH WITH THE DOUBLE ROWS OF EMOJIS!!

Oy!

If you can't express your feelings with one or two emojis, just start swearing like a sailor!

Sheesh!

[Laffy Kat]

9. I know!

Driving me crazy.

[defacto7]

11. no

[defacto7]

12. Everything doesn't have to be doom and gloom

Even if everything is doom and gloom. Some music, some life, some beer, some more music down memory lane...

Then back to doom and gloom.

[red dog 1]

48. I agree!

[Docreed2003]

13. Favorite Swedish American Guitar solos from 1978, you say???

Damn that's a tough one...
I mean don't get me wrong, I love some Swedish-American musicians! Here's one that I love in particular, but it's from 1972..

Here's my favorite Swedish/American guitarist with "The Boss" on an amazing Woody Guthrie cover, but he didn't start playing with Bruce until the "Born in the USA" tour:

And here's a video that actually is from 1978 featuring my dear friend, Mr Cash with a Swedish American Singer Songwriter from 1978, that highlights one of my favorite songs...

Hope you enjoyed this musical interlude...(if you don't like the threads, I'd suggest trashing or ignoring.. You might not personally like the threads but some folks do!)

[tymorial]

54. It wasn't a Swedish guitar solo and the album was released in December of 77

But I always felt that Geissman 's solo on "Feels so Good" is underrated even if the song (single in 78) has been relegated to elevators and the Meglomart.

[Coventina]

15. Sorry, I didn't realize I was ruining so many people's lives.

Consider them stopped (on my end anyway).

I'll go and delete the threads that are still on the first page.

[Docreed2003]

17. Don't you dare....

Your threads are fun and a welcome relief to the craziness we're experiencing! Please don't be rash!!

[Coventina]

18. I don't know, there's been a lot of posters on this thread that say otherwise.

[Docreed2003]

19. Go back and look through the thread...

Most folks are having a laugh at the expense of the OP's statement! Please don't delete your threads...they've seriously been a respite in all the craziness of late, at least for me!

[Coventina]

20. Well, you didn't catch me in time, sorry!

You can still read the responses to post, just not the OP.

[red dog 1]

49. I think there are more negative responses to this thread than positive

I hope you continue posting your "favorite song" threads....I like them, and so do many others.

[Smickey]

72. Gives you a good reason to start over. n/t

[Skittles]

21. Coventina, you do what you want

people who are unhappy can learn to use the Ignore function

I've participated in some of your threads

[ailsagirl]

41. Exactly what I was going to say

If people don't like it, they can ignore it

What's the big deal?

Don't you dare delete anything!!

[Phentex]

25. This is the lounge...

Music, cats, general observations, and favorites.

I think these threads are different from the ones that post a title but don't tell you it's a video. Those got old. But this has the word song in the title so we know what it's about. And it's been fun to hear some of the long forgotten ones or even some new ones.

[progressoid]

71. Everybody is tense now-a-days.

Do your thing and don't worry about them.

[JDC]

27. Nonsense. It's in the lounge and provides a break from the constant shitstorm

We need some normalcy

[Docreed2003]

31. Absofreakinloutely!!!

[red dog 1]

43. + 1

[Rhiannon12866]

22. Oh no!

I'm enjoying them so much! The songs we remember from different points in our lives are bringing back some wonderful memories...

[demmiblue]

23. Poop.

I was trying to think of an addition for the 1988 thread. I usually don't comment on those threads because I have a hard time picking a favorite!

Have fun at the concert... I am jealous!

[Coventina]

45. Thanks!! I am super stoked!! I haven't seen Morrissey in ages!

Billy Idol has been even longer!

I have never traveled out of state for a concert before, so this will be a new experience for me.

[demmiblue]

46. Depeche Mode will be in my state tomorrow.

Sadly, I will just have to...

[Phentex]

24. I like em!

and thought it was great when they started asking about 1267 and such.

Reminded me of the ole copycat days!

[Dulcinea]

35. That's too bad!

Not only did I enjoy them, I added to them.

[ailsagirl]

59. Me too!!

[mahatmakanejeeves]

36. Hey, leave the threads up. People don't have to read them.

They can click past. I do.

If you don't like a thread, why not just move on to another one?

[crazycatlady]

26. I've trashed all of them

[underpants]

28. What's your favorite song from1972?

This one was named after an egg and chicken dish at a Chinese restaurant.

[tymorial]

30. Doug the Dem, question for you

Top five musical crimes perpetuated by Stevie Wonder in the '80s and '90... GO!

Sub-question
Is it in fact unfair to criticize a formerly great artist for his latter day sins, is it better to burn out or fade away?

[gtar100]

32. Nonsense

You don't like something on DU? Surprise, surprise. There's an ignore button when the internal method doesn't work. If you took the time to check, you might see that others are enjoying the favorite song threads. Who are you to say that's wrong.

It's the lounge for goodness sake.

[red dog 1]

50. Absolutely

Well stated!

[femmocrat]

33. I liked them too.

I participated in a couple of them from years I can remember.

I really liked the ones from the Middle Ages, but I'm kinda strange I guess. Can't please everyone.

[jberryhill]

34. Which was your favorite thread?

[left-of-center2012]

37. My favorite song from when I lost my first tooth is ...

OK ~ just kidding.

[left-of-center2012]

38. I second your emotion

Maybe it's a way to boost posting numbers?

Starting with the time of Sumer, located in Mesopotamia, in 3000 BCE,
what is ...................

[Kashkakat v.2.0]

40. I got one! Best song named Mesopotamia is....

[SCantiGOP]

39. Glad somebody finally said it

and since we are letting our grouch flags fly, I would also ban anything with cats, or the word 'cray' or any thread title that contains the word BOOM!

[left-of-center2012]

42. NO! NO! Not cats!

[SCantiGOP]

44. That cat might be OK

He looks like me in the morning.

[red dog 1]

47. If you don't like those threads, then follow the advice given in reply # 4

I hope Coventina changes her mind and continues to post her threads.
They're a welcome relief from the daily horror that emanates from the White House.

Lighten up, dude, this is the DU Lounge!!

[williesgirl]

52. So ignore them! Many of us love them.

[Skittles]

53. I am very much enjoying listening to songs I haven't heard in years

yes indeed

[ailsagirl]

57. Hear, hear!!

[ailsagirl]

60. Amen

[Glorfindel]

55. My word. Haven't WE got our panties in a wad. Not only am I not with you on this

I think we've had quite enough of posting in all caps and overusing smilies. I very much enjoyed the favorite song threads, and can't imagine why such a harmless and pleasant pastime would annoy anyone, let alone create such raw and violent anger.

[ailsagirl]

56. [phone]

[red dog 1]

66. I agree 100 percent.

Especially the part about posting in all caps.....I HATE that! (n/t)

[Special Prosciuto]

58. What's Your Favorite Song From American Bandstand?

[femmocrat]

63. "Venus" by Frankie Avalon! nt

[Glorfindel]

70. "Tears on My Pillow" by Little Anthony & the Imperials

n/t

[blogslut]

61. ...

[3catwoman3]

62. There are probably more threads on DU...

...that I don't open than ones I do open - lack of time, lack of interest in a particular topic, etc, etc, etc. I've never bothered with the ignore or trash functions. I just move along.

What's the big deal?

[red dog 1]

64. + 1

[Iggo]

65. Trash 'em. It's easy. It hurts no one, and it gets 'em out of your way. (n/t)
