The Eagles in Moncton! Is anyone else planning on seeing this great band for their Long Road out of Eden tour? Or has anyone seen it yet?

Jim Dandy:   It mat be a kickass guitar  but the best team are still cup contenders!!! Go Habs!!

TexasToest:  An opinion? I've been known to be downright opinionated!!  Movie and tv theme night sounds like fun!

Jim Dandy:  Of course it's always a half hour later in Newfoundland 

TV Theme songs...hmmm How about Three's Company...Come and knock on our door.....  heheh how many people will have that running through their heads now

TexasToest: Yes,she is quite talented! She not only writes most of her own lyrics but has also written and cowritten songs for Kelly Clarkson (Where Is Your Heart and Walk Away),Avril Lavigne and Gwen Stefani(Rich Girl).
She is Canadian and hails from Winnipeg,Manitoba and is married to Raine Maida, the lead singer of Our Lady Peace.

My new favourite female performer. Her music is deep and thought inspiring!

EIHN: I've never heard of this album nor the band. I do think,however that sometimes people judge (or misjudge) music before giving it a chance.
A co worker of mine once said she didn't like the Metallica song 'Enter Sandman' because they mention ending your life! LOL She had the lyrics wrong (obviously)
Exit light
Enter night...to her sounded like exit light...end your life! She wasn't a fan of heavy metal and was under the misguided impression that it was evil.

#2 Subdivisions...Rush

Cole: Part of what makes this world great is diversity! :-) Everyone has their own unique tastes and appreciation of those differences is key to a congenial discussion! :-)

Geddy's unique voice is only one of the many things that have made RUSH great!! Alex on guitar and Neil on drums...masterful to say the least!! I saw Rush in concert many years ago. Peart's drum solo was magnificant!! There wasn't another sound in the Staduim while he played!!
The collective talent of these 3 muscians have made Rush a true icon of rock music!(Yes,I'm a huge fan lol)
Is it any wonder after 3 decades and 30 albums this band still ROCK!! :-)

Yes they were Niki! :-) great song!

My fave male performer is Jim Reeves! His voice is(was) so strong! Garth Brooks was a performance genius. He had all the right elements to create a strong following and make megabucks!
But that's the thing...Some are performers while others do it for the love of music. I suppose some are both...
Patsy Cline had the most awesome female voice that I've heard. She's in a class of her own (IMO) Of course Martina McBride can hold her own against any current female performer!!
Yes,my taste leads me to country music,athough I appreciate almost all genres. Rob Thomas from Matchbox 20 makes me sit up and take notice when he sings! Also,Avril Lavigne,Paul McCartney,Eric Clapton,Sheryl Crow.....etc!
My fave bands are The Eagles,Fleetwood Mac,The Beatles,Aerosmith and the Rolling Stones!
Hoobastank is my current fave!!

I think it's color coded ...the Purple version :-)

That sounds like a good song Dano...uh what is it? :-)

God's gonna get 'cha for that
God's gonna get 'cha for that
There's no place to run and hide
For he knows where you're at

God's gonna get 'cha for that
God's gonna get 'cha for that
Every wrong thing that you do
God's gonna get 'cha for that

This doggone world we're living in
It's giving me a fit
It seems like everywhere i turn
I see a hypocrite

Well, if ya wanna go to heaven
Well, you can't live like that
So let me tell you, brother
God's a-gonna get 'cha for that

God's gonna get 'cha for that, yeah
God's gonna get 'cha for that
There's no place to run and hide
For he knows where you're at

God's gonna get 'cha for that, yeah
God's gonna get 'cha for that
Every wrong thing that you do
God's gonna get you for that

Now, the preacher in our church
He's a mighty devoted man
Everybody thinks, that he's a-goin' to the promised land

But the other night on a country road
While i was a-drivin' through
I caught the preacher makin' love
To sister, mary lou

God's gonna get 'cha for that, yeah
God's gonna get 'cha for that
There's no place to run an' hide

I think it's obvious Kammy,that you are not the best choice for moderator here. The problems here did not exist until you became moderator.
Now here is my song:

Take this job and shove it
I ain't working here no more

I will not get all the pieces
I've been working for
Paper cups, minimum wage
Just walk on out the door
Take this job and shove it
I ain't working here no more
Take this job and shove it
I ain't working here no more
I will not get all the pieces
I've been working for
Paper cups, minimum wage
Just walk on out the door
Take this job and shove it
I ain't working here no more

They'll have you in this factory
From now on for fifty years
All this time I see my woman
Drowning in her tears
I see a lot of people who
Got to have a piece of me
I'd give the shirt right off my back
If I had the nerve to say

Take this job and shove it
I ain't working here no more
I will not get all the pieces
I've been working for
Paper cups, minimum wage
Just walk on out the door
Take this job and shove it
I ain't working here no more

Let's all go use our sick leave up
And then we'll shoot some pool
Got brand new skinhead hair cuts
You think he's a fool
One of these days I'll blow my top
Or somebody's gonna pay
I'd hate to see the process
As you enter the factory and say

Take this job and shove it
I ain't working here no more
I won't let that shit bother me
That I've been working for
Paper cups, minimum wage
Just walk on out the door
Take this job and shove it
I ain't working here no more

Take this job and shove it
I ain't working here, ain't working here, ain't working here no more

:-)

You want everyone to enjoy this board? What a crock! Let people post then perhaps they will enjoy this board. You haven't allowed my previous post and I'm sure you won't allow this one,but others have posted similar posts to mine and have been allowed. Can I have a logical explanation,please?

Beautiful Chief! One of my favourite songs! :-)

Beautiful! :-)

Or was it Two doors down? LOL

Good one Greg! Never underestimate a woman's intuition...of course a man's gut feeling can be right sometimes too LOL

Two days past eighteen,
He was waitin' for the bus in his army greens.
Sat down in a booth, in a cafe there,
Gave his order to a girl with a bow in her hair.
He's a little shy but she give him a smile,
So he said: "Would you mind sittin' down for a while?
"And talkin' to me. I'm feelin' a little low."
She said: "I'm off in an hour and I know where we can go."
So they went down and they sat on the pier,
He said: "I bet you got a boyfriend but I don't care,
"I got no one to send a letter to.
"Would you mind if I sent one back here to you?"

I cried: "Never gonna hold the hand of another guy."
"Too young for him," they told her.
Waitin' for the love of the travellin' soldier.
"Our love will never end."
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
Never more to be alone when the letter says,
My soldier's comin' home.

The letters came from an army camp,
In California, then Vietnam.
He told her of his heart, it might be love,
And all of the things he was so scared of.
He said: "When it's gettin' kinda rough over here,
"I think of that day, sittin' down at the pier.
"And I close my eyes and see your pretty smile.
"Don't worry, but I won't be able to write for a while."

I cried: "Never gonna hold the hand of another guy."
"Too young for him," they told her.
Waitin' for the love of the travellin' soldier.
"Our love will never end."
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
Never more to be alone when the letter says,
My soldier's comin' home.

One Friday night at a football game,
The Lord's Prayer said, and the anthem sang,
A man said: "Folks would you bow your head,
"For the list of local Vietnam dead."
Cryin' all alone under the stands,
Was the piccolo player in the marching band.
And one name read and nobody really cared,
But a pretty little girl with a bow in her hair.

I cried: "Never gonna hold the hand of another guy."
"Too young for him," they told her.
Waitin' for the love of the travellin' soldier.
"Our love will never end."
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
Never more to be alone when the letter says,
My soldier's comin' home.

Bryan Adams - Remembrance Day


For our king and our country and the promise of glory
We came from Kingston and Brighton to fight on the front line

Just lads from the farms and boys from the cities
Not meant to be soldiers we lay in the trenches

We'd face the fighting with a smile - or so we said
If only we had known what danger lay ahead

The sky turned to grey as we went into battle
On the fields of Europe young men were fallin'

I'll be back for you someday - it won't be long
If I can just hold on 'til this bloody war is over

The guns will be silent on Remembrance Day
There'll be no more fighting on Remembrance Day

By October of 18 Cambrai had fallen
Soon the war would be over and we'd be returnin'

Don't forget me while I'm gone far away
Well it won't be long 'till I'm back there in your arms again

One day soon - I don't know when
You know we'll all be free and the bells of peace will ring again

The time will come for you and me
We'll be goin' home when this bloody war is ended

The guns will be silent on Remembrance Day
We'll all say a prayer on Remembrance Day

On Remembrance Day - say a little prayer
On Remembrance Day

Well the guns will be silent
There'll be no more fighting
Oh we'll lay down our weapons
On Remembrance Day

Ahhh Neil!! Pure Canadian!! LOL :-)

Where were you when the world stopped turning

Alan Jackson

Where were you when the world stopped turnin'
that September day?
Out in the yard with your wife and children;
Or working on some stage in L.A.?
Did you stand there in shock at the sight of that black smoke
Rising against that blue sky?
Did you shout out in anger in fear for your neighbor
Or did you just sit down and cry?

Did you weep for the children
that lost their dear loved ones?
Did you pray for the ones who don't know?
Did you rejoice for the people who walked from the rubble
and sob for the ones left below?
Did you burst out in pride for the red white and blue
And the heroes who died just doin' what they do?
Did you look up to heaven for some kind of answer?
And look at yourself for what really matters?

(Chorus)
I'm just a singer of simple songs;
I'm not a real political man
I watch CNN, but I'm not sure I can tell you the difference
in Iraq and Iran
But I know Jesus and I talk to God
And I remember this from when I was young
Faith, Hope and Love are some good things He gave us
And the greatest is Love.

Where were you when the world stopped turning
That September day?
Teaching a class full of innocent children;
Driving down some cold interstate?
Did you feel guilty 'cause you're a survivor
in a crowded room did you feel alone?
Did you call up your mother and tell her you love her?
Did you dust off that bible at home?

Did you open your eyes hope it never happened;
And close your eyes and not go to sleep?
Did you notice the sunset the first time in ages;
Or speak to some stranger on the street?
Did you lay down at night and think of tomorrow;
Go out and buy you a gun?
Did you turn off that violent old movie you're watchin'
And turn on "I Love Lucy" reruns?

Did you go to a church and hold hands with some strangers?
Stand in line and give your own blood?
Did you just stay home and cling tight to your family
Thank God you had somebody to love?

(Chorus)
I'm just a singer of simple songs;
I'm not a real political man
I watch CNN, but I'm not sure I can tell you the difference
in Iraq and Iran
But I know Jesus and I talk to God
And I remember this from when I was young
Faith, Hope and Love are some good things He gave us
And the greatest is Love.

I'm just a singer of simple songs;
I'm not a real political man
I watch CNN, but I'm not sure I can tell you the difference
in Iraq and Iran
But I know Jesus and I talk to God
And I remember this from when I was young
Faith, Hope and Love are some good things He gave us
And the greatest is Love.
And the greatest is Love.
And the greatest is Love.

Where were you when the world stopped turnin'

Woodstock
Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young

(Written by: Joni Mitchell)

I came upon a child of God
He was walking along the road
When I asked him, "where are you going?"
This he told me

I'm going down to Yasgur's farm
Gonna join a rock and roll band
I'm going to camp out on the land
And try and get my soul free

We are stardust
We are golden
And we've got to get ourselves back to the garden

Then can I walk beside you
I have come here to lose the smog
I feel just like a cog
In something turning

Well maybe it's the time of year
Or maybe it's the time of man
I don't know who I am
But life is for learning

We are stardust
We are golden
And we've got to get ourselves back to the garden

By the time I got to Woodstock
They were half a million strong
Everywhere there was song and celebration

I dreamed I saw the bombers
Riding shotgun in the sky
Turning into butterflies above our nation

We are stardust
We are golden
And we've got to get ourselves back to the garden

We are stardust
We are golden
And we've got to get ourselves back to the garden

I understand your frustration with the imperfections of the human race. But I honestly don't see how complaining about it will help.

Majenta Spiral,imho,I think you are taking A M KM's words out of context. I think if you take a minute to reread what he wrote you will see that.
The message I got from his response was that in general people saw what John was writing and singing about much more clearly after his death. Sort of like understanding the force of a hurricane after living through one. That is human nature and not really a choice.
Also,A M KM states he would have preferred John's music over Paul's as he got older anyway (that part having nothing to do with John's untimely death).

BTO,April Wine,Rush,Max Webster,Anvil,Triumph,Trooper,Sweeney Todd,The Stampeders,Loverboy,Prism....yawn...shall I continue? LOL

David,your vast knowledge of music would and should indicate your teasing about the Canadian contribution to music via bands! LOL
Your words made me smile,for that I thank you! :-)

Love that line up Chief. Although no Best Singers list would or could be complete without the legendary Patsy Cline. Now that's a voice!!!
Crazy Rules! Lyrics by Willie Nelson:

Crazy, I'm crazy for feeling so lonely
I'm crazy, crazy for feeling so blue
I knew you'd love me as long as you wanted
And then someday you'd leave me for somebody new
Worry, why do I let myself worry?
Wond'ring what in the world did I do?
Crazy for thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for trying and crazy for crying
And I'm crazy for loving you
Crazy for thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for trying and crazy for crying
And I'm crazy for loving you.

Wow Greg! You hit the right note with that composition! Masterful,but we've come to expect nothing less! :-)
