0/10, you need to be slaughtered

 

[bigtiddyoneesan]

My all-time favourite

debated whether i should even rate this, but i will.

2.1/10, would've been much higher without all the bleeps

 

[bigtiddyoneesan]

At this point, you should probably just slap that into a google doc or something, it'll save you a lot of howling (ba dum-\

it probably would be easier yes, but i'm obstinate about keeping everything on the forums.

also awful joke

8.0/10, who knew the only good song i'd hear today would be from @TGN of all people. life is full of surprises

Two high points of American music from the 60's.

Prior to the British Invasion, producer Phil Spector established himself as a force to be reckoned with in the Rock & Roll scene. He systematically developed a recording technique - the Wall of Sound - that gave outstanding results on low-fidelity systems primarily used by teenagers - inexpensive monophonic record players and radios - and coupled with his writing and production, which he described as 'little symphonies for the kids', he was able to achieve a string of hits both before and after The Beatles came to the USA. Arguably his best single effort, August of 1963's 'Be My Baby' by The Ronettes is regarded as the stereotypical example of his approach. (Also - as the song fades out, there's a pair of triplets in the drums at about 2:31 that I personally regard as one of the most inspired short drum fills ever recorded.)

At the time this was released, The Beach Boys had already broken in - they had a #2 album and two Top Ten singles so far that year - but their primary creative force Brian Wilson was so taken aback when he first heard 'Be My Baby' come on the radio that he pulled his car over and parked so he could listen to the song. Throughout the rest of his life he came back to the song, at times listening to it repeatedly. In July 1966, 'Wouldn't It Be Nice' was released as the third single from the album it opened, Pet Sounds. While 'Good Vibrations' (from the troublesome Smile project) would be much more successful on the charts later that year, 'Wouldn't It Be Nice' is more obviously both an homage to and a development of the same approach Spector used on his Wall of Sound recordings (and used many of the same musicians from the so-called 'Wrecking Crew' in LA).

ah yes, the Ronettes. i recall my siblings and i listening to them on the old turntable way past our bedtime. we didn't even notice when our dad got home, and boy was he (and his belt!) mad. 8.5/10, i remember it fondly.

there are two songs that Be My Baby reminds me of, but i can't remember their names. the first one is a slower tempo by a male singer and i think the lyrics go "be my baby, oh baby my darling" (with 'baby' and 'darling' being more drawn out/enunciated). the second has pretty much the exact tune as the "oh, oh, oh, oh" around 0:50 of Be My Baby, followed by three notes that are the same. oh well, it'll probably come to me eventually.

ah yes, the Beach Boys. i recall my friends and i staying out late into the night listening to their songs on the radio. last i heard, Eric and his wife got divorced, and Tommy died of a heroine overdose. 8.9/10, i remember them fondly.

i've always loved the Beach Boys' cover of California Dreaming though:

Did something change in the two hours I didn't check this website? All of the formatting options are greyed out.

THE SIXTH LIE - Hibana

Linda Ronstadt, Aaron Neville - Don't Know Much

Edit: Huh. I have many versions of this song in my NewPipe playlist and they're all unavailable now? Weird. Try this one.

Not for ratings, but the first one might be Eddie Money's 'Take Me Home Tonight', which actually has Ronnie Spector (yes, Phil married the lead singer of the Ronettes, and it was an exceptionally unhealthy relationship) as a guest artist, referencing the chorus of 'Be My Baby'.

it's not this song (but this is one of my favorite 80s songs and would easily score a 9+ if i did rate it). i think the first song i'm thinking of was probably released in the 70s at the latest. as for the second song, i kind of wanna say it might've even been posted in this thread? but i'm not totally sure, and if it was posted in this thread, i didn't add it to any of my playlists unfortunately.

Miss bigtiddyoneesan, what are your feelings towards the shoegaze genre? Positive? Negative? Ambivalent?
