Hello Stackers!

It's Thursday and you know what that means! It's throwback Thursday and today I'm going back to Bowling for Soup - 1985.

It's believed that if they were to write this song now, between the subject and the release the gap was between now and 2002. I wonder what the lyrics would have been if it was about 2002? 🤔

Chicago - Hard to Say I'm Sorry

I first heard this song as a cover by Passenger, The Once and Stu Larson but being a young'un I didn't know who wrote it until I recently discovered the original version. I was suprised by the difference, jumping from the chill trio of folk musicans to the great rock energy of Chicago.

I'd heard the passenger version before aswell, I didn't realise it was a cover. Gotta say the Chicago version is more my jam with it's rock elements, but that's not to say I don't appreciate passengers spin on it. Both versions are great and both sets of artists did really great work with this song.

I agree, I love the rock side of it too! It's been stuck in my head all day now

I'm a big fan of original Chicago version but I really like this Passenger cover - really different, soft and beautiful. I have to look up this folk band, The Once now! Thanks for sharing!

Sad Café - Everyday Hurts

After yesterday's Mike and the Mechanics, I went off down a little Wikipedia rabbit hole and turns out that one of the lead singers, Paul Young (not the '80s pop Paul Young), was also in the band Sad Café. They did one of my favourite songs from the late 70's. The kind of song you know but don't know the name of the band, like me.

Wow that's an old song. Yes it is the kind of song you know but don't know the band. I can't say it's one of the my favourite songs but it's one that you definitely heard on the radio and crooned along to hehe. It's amazing what the wiki rabbit hole brings up, as well as the youtube algo. I won't be doing that today though. The procrastination stops here 🤣🤣

🤠 your son gets a cowboy hat for that!

Great track. Really beautiful song.

Normally when someone starts a sentence with "I'm outta ___" I tend to jump to "I'm outta love, set me free, let me out this misery" by Anastasia. Damn she was a helluva artist aswell.

Anastacia, Outta Love is a classic, banger track! Agree she has a fabulous voice. she needs to be in the women in music. That song really makes you wanna get up and dance!

The Femmes Fatales does need to return in some capacity. I miss it already, I had a great time celebrating some incredible women in music.

I agree that the Femme Fatales needs to return in some shape or form. By the way, Bowling For Soup track is a cracker. Love the vid, very funny. The homeage to Whitesnake at the end is classic and especially as the music fades and it's just the creaking of the metal 😂

I always loved it. Even in 2004 when it was released I felt old hearing all those things listed as if they were decades ago... (Which I guess they were 🤣)

Bowling for Soup is hilarious. this is the first comment on the YT vid "@chickennugget6233 You guys, it is happening. We have finally reached the age where we have people talking about how they wish they were born in our era to experience our music... That's pretty sobering". 😂😂😂

Hahahaha yep. Like I said to 0b1 #443436 this track makes me feel old and knowing that it was itself 20 years ago...

I got to see BFS at download festival and they were great fun, then it was tenacious D and then steel panther. That was a trio of laughs really great run of comedy value music.

The Kinks - You Really Got me (1965)

If you get the angle right you can throw a long way back. I'm good at long throwbacks

Probably why people from England always call me 'a Tosser'. How they know I'm good at throwing is beyond me 😁

Here's a great one from waay back.

Huuuuuge hit. What a massive track. Great submission.

I love the guitar solo on this track.

Wikipedia says of it:

The influential distortion sound of the guitar track was created after guitarist Dave Davies sliced the speaker cone of his guitar amplifier with a razor blade and poked it with a pin.
