theblue1 Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 "Rainy Days and Mondays," of course. It's almost inhuman to hate that one. I have a soft spot for "Guitar Man," by Bread. And I like the similarly-themed "Superstar," also by the Carpenters. BTW, I haven't been through the thread, but if anyone listed the single version of the Starship's "Miracles" I'm gonna climb through the internet and kick your ass on gen prin, even though such an action would be a) impossible; b) churlish; and c) out of keeping with the spirit of the whole thing. But it's gonna happen... I won't be able to help myself. bookmark these: news.google.com | m-w dictionary | wikipedia encyclopedia | Columbia Encyclopedia TK Major / one blue nine | myspace.com/onebluenine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay... I'll go one more -- and this one is out of left field but I think it's on the money, anyhow: Capt.

phaeton Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 Misc. things from the Cardigans, such as: Marvel Hill My Favourite Game Love Me, Love Me There's a whole lot of Video Game music that i find incredible, including easy listening jazz from Breath Of Fire III, Sim City* and such, but that's not soft rock Most of what you two guys have posted, i don't think i've ever heard.

Is there bass in the caR-R Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 "True" by Spandau Ballet. and the new cover by the Blackeyed Peas "Love Fool" by the Cardigans Just about anything by ABBA. I hated that stuff when it first came out, but as retro- schlocky soft rock stuff today, it's kinda cool Yes, there's bass in the caR-R-R-R-R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moi Non Plus Moody Blues The Night: Nights in White Satin Procol Harum A Whiter Shade of Pale not all schlock'n'roll, but soft . Je T'Aime... yeah, that came out while I was still a callow youth... I couldn't figure out what was going on. I don't know that I'd ever classify "Whiter Shade" as 'schlocky soft-rock'... terminally pretentious, maybe. (But I ate it up!) Speaking of same (the terminal thing, that is), I could never really warm up to the Moodies' "Future Passed" album but I was aquainted last year with the Moody Bluegrass album built around some of the songs from Futue Passed and some other familiar Moody Blues stuf and, I have to say, some of it really kind of works as country. Although the spoken bit about the "bedside lament" is a bit much... bookmark these: news.google.com | m-w dictionary | wikipedia encyclopedia | Columbia Encyclopedia TK Major / one blue nine | myspace.com/onebluenine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Strat Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 The afore mentioned "Love Fool" by the Cardigans, although I don't think of it as "schlocky" (whatever the hell that means? Lame, maybe? ) "I Will Survive" - by Cake "Time in a Bottle" - Jim Croce BlueStrat a.k.a.

Gus Lozada Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 One more vote for: "Love Fool" - Cardigans "Time After Time" - Cindy Lauper "True" - Spandau Ballet ... some more: "Total Eclipse of the Heart" - B. Tyler "Kissing a Fool" - George Michael (yeah I know it's Swing...) ... all of them -but "love Fool"- are from the same decade.

DC Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Trying to think of some when I was very young and listening to AM on an earphone going to sleep. 'Precious and Few' by ? 'Pieces of April' -3 Dog Night What was that Bee Gee song; I started a joke? Several Janis Ian and what was that girl that McCartney produced, she had some great album stuff with just her singing and acoustic and string quartet. Her singles were 'Goodbye' and 'Those Were The Days...' 'Seventh Avenue' by Art Garfunkle (might have been 2nd ave). 'Daydream Believer' Monkees Does 'Tide is High' by Blondie count? -David http://www.garageband.com/artist/MichaelangelosMuse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miki Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 While 'schlocky' could mean badly done or of poor quality, in this instance I took it to mean 'sappy' or 'sentimental'. "Nothing is true; everything is permitted." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dementia13 Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 I think "Climax" is the "Precious and Few" band. The fun thing about that song is that you can sing that song as campy and Vegas-y as possible, and it's still not half as campy as he really sings it. What keeps (most of) those Carpenters songs from being too sappy is Karen's singing. Wow. Anyway, I'm unashamedly partial to: Chicago ballads from the 70s, like "If You Leave Me Now". And ELO could be pretty adventurous on their albums, but their singles definitely weren't. I like them anyway. "Telephone Line". Cheap Trick, "The Flame" Those two Sugar Ray sell-out songs. Those punky little bastards really turned out to be good at that sort of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenElevenShadows Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Another vote for "Time After Time" by Cyndi Lauper. But does this actually count? This song is amazing!! Very underrated vocalist as well. I saw her do this live version of "Money Changes Everything" that seemed to channel Janis Joplin. Okay, my turn... "Thunder Island" by Jay Ferguson.

Here's another one - Without You by Harry Nilsson. The Heart version of that ain't bad either...
