Music opinion/question of the week...

[revbob]

Not to get off topic but that "I wanna get lost in your rock n roll and drift away" song is one of the worst ever.

Ok I feel better bow... everyone resume hating kid rock

Never heard this.

I stand by my initial comment.

A bad song is a bad song.

It's not a great song - but whenever I think about it I hear that extremely awful Uncle Kracker version.

Never heard Uncle Kraker. He like Kid Rock or something?

Anyway - yes it is a great summertime pop song: perfectly arranged, tenderly sung, with a sublimated sense of pathos. Guess ya had to be there...

Just because its the Stones there doesn't make it okay.

Also the most recent version of this song that plagues the airwaves is by some douchbag kid rock protege. The song blows I dont care who covers it.

I was talking about Dobie Grey's original, not the Stones', though theirs is very faithful and not much different. It's a genuinely sweet song and I like genuinely sweet songs.

Yeah agree to disagree I remember hearing various versions of this song throughout my life.

[101Walterton]

"All Summer Long" is one of my guilty pleasures, which is strange as I hate Sweet Home Alabama which it is based on. Don't think I could name another song by him though.

It actually starts out using Warren Zevon's "Warewolves of London" then later comps "Sweet Home Alabama" (same progression); only ever heard it once or twice and liked the musical sampling novelty, but the song overall makes John Mellonhead sound like Cole Porter, and I too couldn't name another Kid Rock song.

I love Werewolves of London but didn't that steal from a Lou Reed song or something?

It all sounded the same, it all sounded the same.

At least he eventually admitted the steal. Now the current CD issue gives credit where it's due.

Surely that was only a royalties issue? The album was massively overdue and over budget plus Rowland wouldn’t release a single off it so if they were paying royalties as well it would never have broken even.

I disagree with your agreeing to disagree! (not gonna listen to the Uncle Kracker version; who else did it?).

They did release a single from it "This Is What She's Like" in edited form obviously. More than a royalties issue in that Kevin knew full well he nicked the tune but didn't acknowledge it 'til much later. For the 1997 re-release, Rowland admitted in the liner notes that he had used the riff and consequently Zevon and his co-writers, LeRoy Marinell and Waddy Wachtel were given writing credits on the song. Only took him 12 years.

I...actually kind of like it too. I’d never seek it out, but I won’t turn it off, and I might sing along.
