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)

I was wondering myself, but didn't have time to look it up. Clapton's the last man standing from Cream

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.

I thought it was just minus .33.

I think that still gives you 599.67.

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.... RIP both of them...killer musicians

I'm much more likely to take a dance hiatus due to injury than cheating and I'm slightly overdramatic so I get it

George Michael - Careless Whisper

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.

Because when I think 80s I think synth-pop, and it doesn't get much more synth-poppish than this.
1986 - "West End Girls" - Pet Shop Boys

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.
