I grew up with it and hated it thoroughly. Then something happened. Maybe it was my stroke. 😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy Listening in style, incredibly cheesy, and still just wow. Haha... Bert Kaempfert with Ladi Geisler and the 'Knack Bass' at it's finest.! I do believe we (me and your dear self), nearly had an entire thread to ourselves on the subject...

Didn't even remember that, and referred to a really recent thread, but I'm struck by the level of general wisdom expressed in the thread you linked to. I wish I was as smart as myself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassTractor Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 (edited) 1 hour ago, ead said: I'll offer up Sheila B Devotion with a great little ditty Starship Trooper. Huh? Do you mean Sheila's "Spacer" by any chance ("he's a spacer, a star chaser" etc), or "I Lost My Heart to a Starship Trooper" by Sarah Brightman and Hot Gossip? Or does Sheila have a "Starship Trooper" as well? This got my interest as reading your post I thought of "Starship Trooper" by Yes. Its "Würm" part might fall in the novelty category.

diskwave Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Not totally sure what the title is getting at but I would say just about 50% of all 70's chart hits. From Tina Charles to ABBA, to Gilbert O'Sullivan to Pilot.........and musically I absolutely love em all. All of them are tightly written with massive melodies and very tasty bass patterns......If u wanna become a very good all rounder you gotta be able to play the 70's chart hits.

TheGreek Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Interesting...I bought one of his albums in the 80s - Strong Persuader - on recommendation of a guitarist friend. He claimed that RC was bringing Blues back in the 80s and thus a credible musician. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right folks it was Spacer I was referring to, my apologies but I was a couple of beers in by that point. It came to mind as Sophie Ellis-Bextor has recently done a cover(ish) of it. Starship Trooper (the Yes version) is immaculate and should not be mentioned in this thread at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tegs07 Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 (edited) Tony Bennet? He is awesome but strays into outright fromage on occasion Bob Weir. Paul McCartney Carlos Santana The list is (contentious) and endless. Finally to upset the stoner rock fans Monster Magnet. Loved “Dopes to infinity”. Live I thought they were pure fondue.

I saw Monster Magnet on the "Dopes to Infinity" Tour. One of the best pieces of band/crowd interaction I've seen. Dave Wyndorf was merrily stage diving, and they "fed" a cheap old strat copy to the crowd while it was still running (via heavily gaffa'd attached wireless) into the PA. Soundman mixed the racket into the song while Wyndorf egged everyone on. They were just pure (Stoner) Rock n Roll, like a slower, dozier Motörhead. It was a small club (Subterranea), and I think that suited them better than a larger setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, we have just learned that Maurice Ravel came first! 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacDaddy Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Continuing the 'space' theme, this is as cheesy as a cheesy thing covered in cheese, but an utterly groovesome bass line: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
