I see solid and hbilly have been busy little beavers!! They are now the "Beaver Squad!"
Solid did bring up one comparison that I was planning for the "Night They Drove Ol' Dixie Down." One version makes you want to drop kick puppies through a screen door while the other one you can listen to.
So, we shall go to our next comparison!! Aerosmith's Night in the Ruts and Joe Perry's Joe Perry Project's Let the Music Do The Talking.

Joe Perry left Aerosmith half way through the recording of Night in the Ruts. Things were going very bad for Aerosmith. Really Bad.

By now, Aerosmith was broke and coked out. The Band had to stop recording to do a quick tour to raise money to pay for the recording time. Perry owed the band tens of thousands of dollars just for room service alone. That's wild that much money in 1979 dollars!! Tyler was so coked out he couldn't sing an entire song for recording, not write lyrics.
Coke heads are notorious to deal with. Easier to punch than talk to. Pot heads, you get them munchies, turn on the Flintstones, and situation controlled!! Joe Perry left the band after recording half the songs for Night in the Ruts, and Aerosmith hired a guy named Crespo whom I was going to introduce due to his membership in Savoy Brown which is another one of those bands with pretty good music, but you wouldn't want to hang out with.
Remember kids:
Rick James - Cocaine Is A Hell Of A Drug

The difference I wanted to bring up for our Rock n Roll education is this: Aerosmith a the end of their rope and falling apart come out with a pretty good album in Night in the Ruts (one of my favorites) while Joe Perry Project turns out a ho-hum effort. First, Night in the Ruts:

Now, there's nothing wrong with any of these Joe Perry Project songs. They have lyrics that make sense, interesting guitar and bass lines, and the songs express a lot of energy between songs and lyrics. Yet, something is missing, and that something is why this album was not well received. Again, nothing wrong with the music. Probably if some other band were to do them, they'd probably turn out more popular. And this is our lesson: you got to have that "je ne sais quoi."

Whoa! That is one big, shall we say, "la cucharra de coca!" (Side Note: we joke like that up here; down there, it's a "McSpoon." )
The Biggest thing that surprised me about Pink Floyd's The Wall was the fact that women/females liked it. Normally, they liked bands where they could fantasize or actually fuck the lead singer or the famous guitarist. Humble Pie is a great example of this. Chicks don't care until Peter Frampton comes out with a solo album, and now he's "Pretty Peter."

This is a hard segue into this factoid: if you're a Black Sabbath fan, then more than likely this is your favorite album...if you're normal!

Not "deranged," my friend! As an example, there are many people who literally hate "Technical Ecstacy," like Ozzy Osbourne who was throwing his last tantrum with Black Sabbath at the time. There's a lot of good stuff on there. Paranoid increased Black Sabbath's popularity immensely.

Today, we have Emerson, Lake and Palmer's first album. Emerson and Lake left King Crimson to form, in it's way a super group. Europeans, or Western Europeans as I observed, listen to Beethoven, Bach, all those Classical guys and their pop stars tend to be much older than here. That changed some what when Punk showed up, but that also created a hard divide with a small number of non-conformists on one side, and practically everybody else. ELP doing classical type music was A-Okay and normal in Europe. You could go to a concert and on the PA would be playing classical music while the roadies would be moving equipment to change over to a new act. Not a big deal, and people knew the names of the songs. But, I digress:

Broken Barricades is probably my favorite Procol Harum album of the '70s. It was also Robin Trower's last album with then until the 21st Century. Great Album!!! Through out Procol Harum's existence, they had the greatest stories in their songs: everything from catching VD from a hooker to being a pirate on a pirate ship. As a kid with a sense of Adventure, listening to Procol Harum was better than watching Disney!!!

@lorazepam....yeah this shit hits..

So right before covid, I woke up and for whatever reason had to go see a guy about some shit in West Hollywood. My car was fucked up and my wife doesn't trust me with her Tesla so..on the train I go. So going to West Hollywood, on public train, guns are required so boom, 1911 on the hip, a few dab   pins and a monster chocolate brownie edible. Ok, off we go..ate the edible for breakfast and 30 mins later , on the train hopeing I don't have to shoot some fools..

So the edible is starting to kick my ass and at the same time this song popped up on my YT..I knew it from Wonderland so..but as I sat there, the waves of the weed, the song, I was gone, no longer on the train nor the planet...thx for posting the song..

I'm pretty sure these three guys were the first American act who could sell out an arena all by themselves. (I think I remember that correctly.) Also, on a personal note, as GFR is not in the alleged Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, it's one more reason to scorn that organization.
Now, on with the show! Oh, I prefer Farner's voice to Brewer's voice, but we start with Brewer on a song I thought he did very well.

There are some really great songs on this album, and then there's the "Everything You Did;" they did this song several times, but the best version of the music is "Cousin Dupree" which will come out 18 years later. And I forgot the song list for the previous post AGAIN!!

Today, the P/Funk world returns with the last three albums of the Funkadelics before the business type destruction of P/Funk would destroy their universe. (There would only be two Brides of Funkenstein left for the '70s.)
If you're anything like me, and why wouldn't you be, you'll dig this first song with Eddie Hazel on lead:
funkadelic-hardcore jollies

Funkadelic - You Scared the Lovin' Outta Me

Funkadelic - Adolescent Funk
Comin' Round the Mountain - Funkadelic
Funkadelic - Heavens To Megatroid

The third song video, "You Scared the Loving Out of Me," has to come from some weird-ass Russ Myer movie. That's what us kids had before "scrambled vision" was a thing with mid-1970s cable.

Gather round Kiddos as today will be different.
Today will be the Swan Song of not just P/Funk and George Clinton, but also a story about how Funk defeated Disco.

That is correct: Funk defeated Disco. Rock didn't do it!!! Rock was either complicit because of Traitors (the worse kind of humans) or simply tired to ignore Disco.

Funk took Disco head on and slew that musical dragon, and there are a number of people to thank, but acid-dropping George Clinton who tired playing the same paper games as the record labels did and lost, a modern Day Don Quixote by any standard, is the unknowing Hero we needed at the Time.

Socially and culturally, the 1970s were not good for America. I can't say exactly when the US came out to greet the antiseptic of Sunshine (I was in the AF for just about the whole of the decade), but I can recognize that it probably had something to do with Ronald Reagan surviving assassination and still managing to be a cheerful human being. These things always take leadership.

But, back to our story. Disco was the epitome of all that was wrong...literally. There was nothing hopeful about it as a sub-cultural movement. You can take a look at the difference between two movies, 1968's The Graduate and 1977's Saturday Night Fever, and the difference is startling.

George Clinton with his faults took on that Disco World, while high mind you!, and beat Disco down.

This song is "Atomic Dog." It was released in the early 80s. I don't think I heard this song until I was at Nellis in the late 80s. The story I was told by a very reliable source, one of my troops, Johnny Meyers, was that Clinton was on acid when he was brought into the studio and hearing the music for the first time, he just started singing extemporaneously. Higher than any kite known to man, Clinton came up with a self-introspective line: why must I be like that? why must I always chase the cat? Nothing but the dog in me.

It was the end of P/Funk, but let's call this a Victory Lap!!!!!

The Who finished out the '60s with the Rock Opera "Tommy." It was extremely popular with the masses, so much so it was turned into a movie. A lot of great music came out of that project.
After the touring ended in support of "Tommy," Townsend started a new rock opera called "Lifehouse." For whatever reason, the project was scrapped and eight of those songs were put on an album called Who's Next. Here are 2 through 8:
2  Bargain
3  Love Ain't For Keeping
4  My Wife
5  Getting In Tune
6  Going Mobile
7  Behind Blue Eyes
8  Won't Get Fooled Again
These songs have really stood up to the Test of Time!

"Baba O'Reily" was the first song, side 1, on the album, but as it's been posted several times already, I didn't include it in the group above, but here it is for the sake of continuity.

But First!!! Here's a blurb from wikipedia that explains the song "Baba O'Reily:"
Townshend originally wrote "Baba O'Riley" for his Lifehouse project, a rock opera intended as the follow-up to the Who's 1969 opera, Tommy. In Lifehouse, a Scottish farmer named Ray would have sung the song at the beginning as he gathered his wife Sally and his two children to begin their exodus to London. When Lifehouse was scrapped, eight of the songs were salvaged and recorded for the Who's 1971 album Who's Next, with "Baba O'Riley" as the lead-off track.

According to Townshend, at the end of the band's gig at the 1969 Isle of Wight Festival, the field was covered in rubbish left by fans, which inspired the line "teenage wasteland".[9] In another interview, Townshend stated the song was also inspired by "the absolute desolation of teenagers at Woodstock, where audience members were strung out on acid and 20 people had brain damage. The irony was that some listeners took the song to be a teenage celebration: 'Teenage Wasteland, yes! We're all wasted!'"[10]
View Quote
So, as with CCR's "Who'll Stop the Rain," "Baba O'Reily" was also about Woodstock and the destruction left in its wake by a group that professed to know better. Now on the show:

You know, between the drugs, touring, exploits with groupies, I have no idea what the guys from Led Zeppelin really thought about what they were creating, whether they wanted to impact musical history or just make money, take drugs, tour, fuck groupies, but none of their albums suck, plus they have no weak songs. It's pretty incredible. Today the first half of the double LP Physical Graffiti:
1  Custard Pie
2  The Rover
3  In My Time Of Dying
4  Houses of The Holy      - previous album's title....cracks me up!
5  Trampled Under Foot    =    a love song about cars!!!!!!!
6  Kashmir
7  In the LIght
8  Bron-Yr-Aur
In My Time of Dying (Remaster)
Houses of the Holy (Remaster)
Trampled Under Foot (Remaster)

More than just a great guitarist/song writer, but also a genuinely good guy. I never met him, but met some people that worked with him when I was stationed overseas.

I worked at a hospital in Boston waaay back in the late 70s. There was a lot attendant that use to crank this song and smoke hash and punch tickets for a living! First time i heard of this band. Good stuff and they mean what they say. Edit, just remembered he called weed Lippus ,never heard that before or since.
