*New* Name That Tune Thread

[Alkaholik]

Am I the only one who thinks Syd Barrett is overrated? I've tried Piper at the Gates many times, and can never get into it. Ditching Barrett and getting Gilmour was the best thing that happened to Pink Floyd, in my opinion.

Thats true, i wasnt really into the syd barret stuff at all, i just tried listening to it since it was the roots of pink floyd, i think pink floyds best stuff was in the 70s, DSOTM, The Wall and i have found some of their solo albums from the 90s arnt bad.

i'm going to disagree that barrett was overrated. he was a fantastic songwriter. just a bit childish with the lyrics. but such was the time. you should check out the madcap laughs or barrett. those are both very underrated albums by syd. i will agree that i like the way pink floyd turned out after barrett left better than how i think they would have turned out had he continued to front them.

The title of this thread should be changed to:

"Name that Pink Floyd or Who tune"

well i can assure you the last song lyrics i just posted is not from The Who or Pink Floyd....

*revive*

just because this song is stuck in my head every day. damn you MSB.

My mission saved the world
And I stood proud
My mission changed the world
It turned my life around

"The Mission" - Queensryche

"The Mission" - Queensryche

yeah, sorry to leave you off my sh*t list on that one. both of you deserve credit for turning me on to this album. damn, is it good. i hear it in my head all day ever since i started spinning it again.

Mindcrime is one of my favorite albums and it was amazing live when I saw Queensryche during their last tour.

Now, I've got to come up with a lyric. I've got a bunch of obscure stuff but that won't be fair so I'll try and make it not too complicated.

That's right here's where the talkin' ends
Well listen this night there'll be some action spent.
Drive hard I'm callin' all the shots
I got an ace card comin' down on the rocks.

Should be a fairly easy one.....

Judas Priest- You've Got Another Thing Coming

What a great song Captain

Mine to follow in a minute...

[creamdoorthirtyniner]

Well I'm packing up my game and I'm a head out west
Where real women come equipped with scripts and fake br*asts
Find a nest in the hills chill like Flynt
Buy an old droptop find a spot to pimp
And I'm a _______it up and down your block
With a bottle of scotch and watch lots of cr*tch
Buy a yacht with a flag sayin' chillin' the most
Then rock that b*tch up and down the coast
Give a toast to the sun, drink with the stars
Get thrown in the mix and tossed out of bars
Sip the tejuana

(chorus'll give it away, so it won't be included)

I bet you'll hear my whistle blowin' when my train rolls in
It goes (whistle) like dust in the wind
Stoned pimp, stoned freak, stoned out of my mind
I once was lost, but now I'm just blind
Palm trees and weeds, scabbed knees and rice
Get a map to the stars, find Heidi Fleiss
And if the price is right I'm gonna make my bid boy

And let Cali-for-ny-aye know why they call me
