I like Athena by the Who. It’s Hard is a bit of a forgotten album in some ways.

It sure is. Critics were a bit too hard on it, in my opinion.

A few others that are on my playlist, not including all the Beatles songs you listed blmeanie:

Watch Out for Lucy - Eric Clapton
Danny Boy - Bing Crosby
Dirty Diana - Michael Jackson
Hey Joe - Jimi Hendrix
Help Me Rhonda - Beach Boys
Hey Porter - Johnny Cash
Johnny B. Goode - Chuck Berry
My Bonnie - Tony Sheridan/Beatles
Silas Stingy - The Who
Tom Sawyer - Rush
Uncle John's Band - Grateful Dead
Veronica - Elvis Costello
The Donovans - Bing Crosby

As for my three favorites, that's going to have to wait until later; right now I have to shut the PC down.

I like those songs, Moogmodule; thanks for posting the links so we could take a listen.

A few others came to mind:

Sally Simpson - The Who
Tommy, Can You Hear Me? - The Who
Dr. Jimmy - The Who
Avenging Annie - Roger Daltrey

As for picking my top 3 favorites, I had to exclude the Beatles or else I never would have narrowed it down, but my choices would likely be

~Johnny B. Goode
~Hey Joe
~Suite: Judy Blue Eyes

excellent, thanks for playing. No matter how much we all listen to music, Beatles and others, there are still songs that you have forgotten about over the years and get reintroduced or songs you never "really" knew. I will be checking out the Who/Daltry songs you list above to reintroduce myself to them.

I lived near the Belmont section of The Bronx for five years. It wasn't uncommon to see four or five teenagers singing Doo-Wop songs on street corners. Some of those teenagers, then, still do today...

Anyway, in the Belmont area of The Bronx, "loose girls" were given names like "Tremont Tramps," "Pelham Pigs" and "Sedgwick Sluts" depending on where they lived.

Yes, early on The Belmonts sang uncensored versions of the songs Dion wrote on street corners.

Nice! When I worked in DC there was a guy who would sing outside of Union Station. I saw him nearly every day and usually contributed. To my untrained ear, he had a fantastic voice. It made the commute a little more bearable.

Post by: nimrod on July 20, 2022, 11:10:15 PM: Vanessa Simmons - Barclay James Harvest

Apparently John Lees wrote this lovely song about a girl at his school who he always suspected of loneliness.

Post by: Normandie on August 14, 2022, 10:12:30 PM: This thread has been sort of lurking at the back of my mind. I thought of two more:

Cathy's Clown - The Everly Brothers
Hats Off to Larry - Del Shannon (I never realized this was sung by Del Shannon!)

He wrote the song too...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9Ma1jE78ME# (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9Ma1jE78ME#)

I mentioned this before but Del Shannon also wrote I Go To Pieces. The Searchers passed on recording it but Peter and Gordon had a top ten hit with it in late 1964...

Those are The Crickets (Sonny Curtis - guitar, Jerry Allison - drums, Joe B. Mauldin - bass) backing The Everly Brothers
Title: Re: songs with person's name in title
Post by: Hello Goodbye on August 15, 2022, 11:24:05 PM: ^

Seeing The Crickets backing The Everlys reminds me that after we lost Buddy Holly, several singers tried to fill the void. One of them was Tommy Roe singing Sheila...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mnmop4eTQa8# (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mnmop4eTQa8#)

...and sounding very much like Buddy Holly.
