Edgar Winter Poll...Non Poll

[kim]

If there's a back door around things, I'll try and find it...this is a fine example...hahahaha.

Instead of posting a "poll", what I'll do is post an image of the proposed
classic rock album, and instead now ask you kids to actually type in the track of your choice. No more buttons, no more percentages...

I really don't think this will take away from clogging up the board for the most part, but will still ask the same burning question as to what "yer faves" are...yet in a lesser, non threatening style in regards to other posts of greater importance.

I honestly believe that there are a great number of classic albums out there that I find interesting in terms of being mentioned. This is just another ploy on my behalf to try and bring them into the spotlight, even if to impose upon a few minutes of your valuable time.

Also, in doing it this way...you actually have to use the keyboard...and in doing so just may inspire you to allude to why you like the track more so than if I would have just created those handy-dandy little radio buttons and ultimately let you off the hook without saying a word?

Overall, I hope this method will not clutter up the board to any degree...if it does, (which I doubt), I'll try and find another sneaky way of doing it...hahahahahahahaha... ;D

So what's your thoughts on this one...


Type in the one you like...add some comments...then continue on reading ALL of the other great threads here!!! If you like the format...send any donations to Kimba...address to follow... hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

(Go ahead...try clicking the little box thingy's...pisses ya off doesn't it...)...hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

It's all in fun kids! ;D

Actually, I wanna see if Frankenstein really does run away with it.

Thanks

I have to go w/ Frankenstein.Iwas 10 when this album came out & I had no idea what rock music was at the time.I had 2 older sisters still living at home one(Nancy) was heavily into the Osmonds(more so Donny),Jackson 5,& oldies but goodies.The other sister(Sally) was heavily into Alice Cooper.Bob Seger,& her favorite,Brownsville Station.Sally brought home the 45 of "Frankenstein" & at being 10 years old with a record called Frankenstein with cool music to back it up,that was the ultimate.I still wouldn't understand what rock music was for another 4 years.I love that whole album along with Edgar Winter's White Trash & Roadwork albums.

Great Album, (I'm listening to it now BTW). I'm going with "Hangin' Around" as my fave off the album, although I do love the hits they've just been played to death.

I'll not complain about my complete irritation for massive images being posted on forums!

Seriously though, excellent album. My favourites though, would have to be the ballads.

Round and Round is the greatest song the Eagles never wrote. First time I ever heard it, I was singing along before it had finished. That's how catchy it is.

And Autumn is such a bittersweet little tune, it''s infectious as much as it is downbeat. Love it.

As for Frankenstein, it's a fantastic number. Saw him do this live a couple of years back, and it was fabulous. Just a shame that rock radio only ever play this one tune though. There are probably people out there who don't even realise the EWG actually had vocals!

My thought about THEY ONLY COME OUT AT NIGHT is if you like that one then you need this one. Both need to be remastered and put 2 on 1 by the label BGO ( Beat goes on). "Autumn" is one of the best mellow songs out there, and on SHOCK TREATMENT the song "Somebody take my heart away" is another great song in my opinion.

Hey Cal, I must confess that I am to blame in this case as I am using Google's "Picassa" for the image editing at this point and have yet to get er down to a science. I'll make sure to keep the size down to a much more tolerable level as I go.

I just wanted to be sure that the track listing was legible, I guess I succeeded in that department???...hahahahaha

I think Rik has a way of reducing the image size once posted, so by all means, knock er down!

Thanks
Kim

I think I was able to reduce the image to a slightly more manageble level?

With Picassa, it appears that you have to go back in and export the original image in order to have the ability to resize???

Hope this helps...

Thanks

Got "They Only Come Out at Night" when it was released. "Free Ride" & "Frankenstein" brought me in, but it was all the other songs that kept me there, & yes Atomic Picklehead, "Autumn" is on of the best ballads ever put to vinyl (though my first copy was cassette), maybe the best song here.

"Shock Treatment" was great, but it has been years since I've heard it. Then there was "Jasmine Dreams," which I remember liking to. One album that is essential is Edgar Winter's White Trash "Road Work."

I agree, Road Work is worthy also.
