I'm ok with the Big Sugar pick but as it stands it was the English version listed. It should have been the french one, but hey what are ya gonna do? I thank you all for making this thread so much fun!

I think BS did a French version for the massive Quebec market but I am presuming the title would not be "Turn The lights On".

good, I was concerned about you. thanks for letting us know. one step at a time brother.

Dude, is Dylan covering Hendrix? (Original versions of songs which have seen covers achieve equal or greater popularity outside of the realm of music geek-dom). 1. Otis Redding - Hard to Handle (covered by Black Crowes) 2. Bruce Cockburn - Lovers in a Dangerous Time (BNL) 3. Devo - Satisfaction (Rolling Stones) 4. The Byrds - Mr. Tambourine Man (Dylan) 5.

The Marvelletes - Please Mr. Postman (Carpenters) 10. Carole King - You've Got a Friend (James Taylor) 11. 12.

this particular theme is ripe with potential debate, so please just carry on..... I think it's ok so far.

y'all don't forget to copy the theme title as well as the growing list when you post (just makes it easier to jump into the thread).

yeah it seems to be an album title not a song. Removed. LR, if we're way off on this and it is indeed a song, my apologies. But a google and wiki search found only the album title, no song title as such. so here's where we're at: Theme: Songs about pain 1. The Police - King Of Pain 2. Cat Stevens - The First Cut Is The Deepest 3. The Reverend Horton Heat - Cruisin' for a Bruisin' 4. Morphine - Cure for Pain 5. Otis Redding - Pain In My Heart 6. Peaches - fuÇk the Pain Away 7.

RECAP: This game is so much fun, I for one have gotten such a kick out of some of your choices! Always good to see The Crucifucks get their props whenever possible. I thought that rather than repost the lists, I'd list our themes so far. We've done well on adhering to one rule anyway, picking different thread themes!

Got seven songs about macaroni just itching to be listed? Got The Best Theme ever and can't wait for someone else to pick #12? Sorry, if the game stalls, it stalls, that’s part of the deal. ** Whoever finishes the current theme gets to choose, title and start the next. ** Be respectful of your brothers and sisters when two posts appear at the same time. Always please check back to make sure this hasn't occured, which happens more often than I would have thought. But people have generally done well at helping each other here. I'm trying to be less of a freak. Simple as fucking, really. Rock on Skancs!

geez, I dunno, there are some obvious choices - Phish @ Big Cypress was sublime in every respect, the Dead at Copps 3-22-90 changed my life, no exaggeration. But sometimes things pop up from under the cracks, and when Brian Hamilton suggested we go check out Jonathan Richman at the Lula Lounge in TO a couple of years ago, I couldn't have expected what a show I would see. His sheer charm and open-hearted demeanour drew me in right away, and that goofy grin on his face told me that in a world of jaded musical veterans and egotistical indulgences, some people's love for their craft can crush those vanities effortlessy handily. He sang songs in french, spanish and english, occasionally just put down his guitar and danced, sang song after song that alternated between laughing and crying, and in the end it was a life-affirming night all about the power of music. Didn't expect to get that much out of it but I still feel a buzz from that show today. Right on.

Tom Petty, Wildflowers
