Day 9: A song from the 60's

Catching up. April is "Scottish Heritage Month," and I have never done a deep dive into Scottish artists specifically, so seems like a good theme for a themeless week.

Jack Baker Bruce was the singer and bassists for Cream, so that is a place to start. Also, Ulysses, which has been a minor theme this month as well..

"Tales of Brave Ulysses," Cream, 1967


(+1 for Scottish musician, +600 for all of Ulysses men who didn't make it home, for a total of 601 pts)

Day 9: A song from the 80s
I love Rush so I’m going to use my coupons I’ve won in the past two months. So many good songs to choose from but I went with 1 from each early 80s album. Loved seeing them live. Back when you could afford to see a concert.

Spirit of Radio - Permanent Waves 1980

YYZ - Moving Pictures 1981

Subdivisions - Signals 1982

I hope that’s how I can use the coupons that I won.
 
Not so fast Dream Man, minus 250 for not mentioning Clapton was lead singer on a few Disraeli tracks... Gimme one o dem Strange Brews please.
As he wasn't Scottish, the singer on that song, named Ulysses (or Odysseus), I don't see the relevance. So I am awarding myself 1/3rd of a point back, a free kick, and a balk.

Bonus points are far more organized when @morelikeasong runs them. My version is more like Calvinball.

Jack BRUCE was the bass player and shared vocals with Eric Clapton. Ginger BAKER was on skins. No love lost between Jack and Ginger.... they'd have have been well and truly pissed off if you morphed their names.... :ROFLMAO: RIP both of them...killer musicians
 
Day 11: A song from the 80s - 1987

"Time Stand Still" -- Rush (featuring Aimee Mann)

I've been feeling a bit melancholy lately; this is a difficult time of the year for me.

Day 11: A song from the 80s

Continuing on yesterday. After the death of disco the Chicago club scene moved underground. The clubs were ran by Black DJs of which the majority were gay. The smaller communities created a new kind of music intending to bring people together and create a new sense of community for groups that were commonly marginalized. This was the birth of house music.
Frankie Knuckles is considered the "Godfather of House music.

Tears- Frankie Knuckles, Satoshi Tomiie

Thank a LGBT person today, my favorite genres wouldn't exist without them. PLUR



Great post. I still remember when I heard the news Knuckles passed away.

Ahhh, that's why the inmates are running the asylum and posting song after song rather than the allotted single. It's all making sense now.
