Vabosity's Third Anniversary Review Of The Thread - Post #50.
This is the final post of the
Third Anniversary Review.
It is now December, meaning that it’s actually closer to the thread’s Fourth Anniversary than to its Third Anniversary, so Post #50 seems like a good point at which to stop.
The 250 great tracks that I’ve repeated in the Review are just the tip of the iceberg that is this wonderful thread, and I ask anyone with the time and the inclination to explore as much of the rest of the iceberg an you can; it’ll be well worth your while.
There is no theme to the final post of the
Third Anniversary Review. It just contains five tracks that I like a great deal and that I believe are a fitting way to end the Review.
The Bobby Fuller Four - I Fought The Law (1966)
First submitted to the thread in June 2010.
The Clash version is good, but not a patch on this as far as I’m concerned.
Richard Harris - Didn’t We (1968)
First submitted to the thread in June 2010.
The excellent B-side of the magnificent
MacArthur Park.
The Chiffons - Up On The Bridge (1968)
First submitted to the thread in September 2010.
Capablanca hasn’t posted to the thread in quite some time, which is a great pity, because when he was a regular contributor he submitted some terrific tracks, including this rare gem.
Sweetwater - In A Rainbow (1968)
First submitted to the thread in February 2012.
Sweetwater have the rare distinction of being the first band to play at one of the most famous musical events of the decade, the 1969 Woodstock Festival. This rare distinction does not appear to have rescued them from obscurity, but they were a fine band and this is a fine track.
Bobby Darin and Clyde McPhatter - Have Mercy Baby (1960)
First submitted to the thread in July 2012.
What better way to end the
Third Anniversary Review than with the fabulous Bobby Darin and the marvellous Clyde McPhatter performing together on a vintage TV show? It doesn't get much better than this.
