Oh, okay, it got deleted. Something breaking the forum rules must have been posted for the Mods to delete the thread instead of locking it.

The main thing was (no politics) and when someone even mentions government or voting etc it goes on a minus table, you couldn't really discuss that much as the whole thing of EV's is/was being forced in by the rulers.

IMHO one of the prettiest and smoothest female voices of all time is Karen Carpenter.
Carpenters - Rainy Days And Mondays Carpenters - Superstar

Always powerful.
"But you know you can lean on me And I don't have no fear I'll take on any man here Who says that's not the way it should be? And I'll stand in front of you I'll take the force of the blow, protection" Massive Attack (feat. Tracey Thorn) - "Protection" (1994): Tracey Thorn later: "Another message comes through to me saying that they [Massive Attack] are big fans of my "Distant Shore" album, so I say OK, why not send me a tape of some stuff? A cassette duly arrives as Ben and I are leaving the house one day, and I pick it up off the mat and take it with me. In the car I stick it on, still expecting something frantic and grandiose, along the lines of "Unfinished Sympathy". Instead, the first track slowly begins. And it goes BOOF CLACK diddle-iddle-ick ... (pause) BOOF CLACK diddle-iddle-ick ... (pause), at the approximate pace of a snail. A stoned snail at that. It carries on like this for six or seven minutes, then stops. I look at Ben. I’ve just had my first introduction to trip hop, and the track I’ve heard is "Protection", though without any title, or vocal melody, or lyrics, or indeed any indication as to where those things might go. There is no real beginning, middle or end. I’m not sure whether I have ever heard a piece of music this slow and empty before, and when the next one starts in just the same mood, I realise that a whole new thing is happening here.” “I carry the tape around with me for a while. At first I can’t get anywhere with it. Then it starts to seep into my brain, insidiously digging in under my skin until I know it so well it feels like a part of me. A few days later, I put on the Massive [Attack] [demo] tape again, get out some paper and a pencil and almost in one go write the entire song, "Protection". It starts off with the story of a girl some friends had told me a few nights before, then moves on to deal with my protective feelings towards Ben since his illness. Within about ten minutes I’ve written the whole thing, and will never change a word. When I send the tape back with the vocals, it’s exactly what they [Massive Attack] wanted, and I’m summoned."

Like many teens kids at that time, I picked up the guitar in 1964 an this was the first song I learned. I've been playing off and on ever since and still learning! I just played this song again this morning. Music is such a cool timestamp on our memories.
I was lucky enough to have seen the Eric Burdon and Animals at the Santa Rosa Fairgrounds in 1967. What a show. |

...and she was a very good drummer too. I got to see the Carpenters twice; once at the Hollywood Bowl and a second time in Honolulu. An incredible show and one of the best voices in the business. |
