binky_bass Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 (edited) On a hideous drink fueled listening binge... curious to know what songs you consider to be absolute staples of your youth. There are many of course, so let's say 3 per head. In no particular order.. 1: Jimmy Eat World - The Middle 2: The Offspring - Get A Job 3: Bad Religion - Sorrow I'll wake to tomorrow and want to change these no doubt, but, regardless, they are songs that made my youth and ones I still love today! I reckon (give it a few weeks) I'll compile a Spotify song list of all of the songs in the responses and paste the link here so we can all re-live our collective youths!

Dan Dare Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Tears of a Clown. The reason I play bass. Bob Babitt's playing on the track made me want to do so. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor J Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 (edited) Keeping them relevant to bass in an effort to narrow the list down somewhat... From Out of Nowhere - Faith No More (we played it in my school band, a very important song in my bass life) Unconditional - Prong (still the playalong benchmark, once I can play this I know my fingers are in good shape) These Boots... - Megadeth (Seeing them draw out the intro to this live made it the song where the “I simply must play bass!” lightbulb went on in my head and the reason I play bass) Edited February 15, 2020 by Doctor J 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baxlin Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 (edited) From an older BC member..... Fontella Bass. Rescue Me - still love the riff My Girl - the Otis Redding version, IMO less of a 'singalongaMax' treatment than the Temptations' version, and possibly the most popular song my band (or "group" as referred to in those days!) performed, our vocalist got it so right. If I Could Dream - Elvis Presley (although strictly speaking I was no longer a teenager in '68 when this was released as part of his 'Comeback Special' TV show) Edited February 15, 2020 by Baxlin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itu Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 (edited) That Danish Hans Christian Mozarrt did some nice stuff in my youth... Tears of a clown is still really good song.
