Just recently found out that Jesse Stuart passed away. Who is Jesse Stuart? He's the guy in the video below. It was one of the glories of the algorithm. This video encompasses my youth so well. So much fun there. RIP Jesse.

Another sad day.
Today just also happens to be the 40th anniversary of the release of Michael Jackson's album Thriller.

Yep...difficult to wrap my head around the fact that the music of my high school years is 4 decades old now. Back then, The Beatles were considered "old" music...and they'd been at their pinnacle of prodution only 15 - 20 years earlier. None of us back in '84 were rockin to the hit tunes of the early '40s lol...

Deeply saddened by the passing of Christine McVie. Fleetwood Mac was influential early in my life with Rumors released at a very malleable point in my life. I was probably too young to appreciate it initially, but it received airplay well into the 80s and had an impact that way.
With the Avatar change and being on vacation over Christmas, the following are required, early though it may be. The original and the version that arguably tops it, something I legitimately thought would never occur. No word of a lie, in my early twenties my nickname was "grinch". I wear it with pride. And you can find my home if you look for the Grinch decorations. 
Algorithms can be fun. This one is a favorite of along time, the band I've only seen once live, but this version? Wow. Lots of recordings from the 70s are lypsynching. This one? I don't think so.
Grew up with Deep Purple in all of its iterations. Jealously defended the turntable to play entire sides of albums in my youth. This song is close to the pinnacle. The audience is so somber, unlike those of today. They witnessed history and had no idea.
Stepping away from original versions, I loved "Lazy" from the day it was released. Inherent to my character, the song was so relatable. It was iconic on the original album but I felt this version was more enjoyable. The cast of musicians is all-star caliber, the outcome surreal.
Desert island I'd be hard pressed to keep these two out of my top ten. Given the choice of a single album, Machine Head would be right up there.

Have been listening to them all afternoon long. Made my work today a bit more bearable.
I would like to thank you all for cheering me up yesterday, I needed that. It reminds me of this song...sorry guys it's country...
Lots of musical references in the GDT thread today. For your musical enjoyment, a selection of those mentioned:
Could have gone with a few songs here as I'm a big BOC fan. Got into them early and saw them both in their younger days and when they (and I) were considerably older. Had to be this song though due to some gifs in the thread:
The Cult was also mentioned. Definitely enjoyed them in the 80s when they were out. They sort of managed to slip classic definitions and various groups of music lovers really seemed to enjoy them. I definitely irritated the neighbors when I came home with my car stereo blaring (I was such a jerk at that age). I had a fabulous sound system crammed into a tiny little Honda CRX - dual amps (Blaupunkt, Harmon Kardon), a fabulous Harmon Kardon deck I miss to this day, Boston Acoustics in the front and a pair of Bose 101s (yup, home speakers) in the back.
Given my sometime use of the Phantom as an Avatar, anyone in this thread should know of my obsession with the Phantom of the Paradise. Paul Williams was one of those sort of benign singers that was on all the family shows and everyone loved but he was anything but the good guy in this movie. Phantom was such an odd, odd movie and so eye opening for me at 10 years of age. It was the first movie I ever saw more than once in theaters. Definitely left an impact and I still love the Park Theater which was a fifteen minute walk from where I grew up.
Just so many good songs in the movie. There are surprisingly no really good versions of Somebody Super Like You tied with Life at Last. Pity. I feel those two should always be together.

Never really got into Living Colour and not really sure why. I think it was just timing as much as anything else. Definitely a powerful song and should be played really loud.
Stretching to get this one out of the thread as it wasn't a musical reference in thread, but hey, who doesn't lover SRV?
I'm still trying to scratch my eyes out after that wrecking ball gif from @Ginger Papa and found this one (it ain't Miley):

Wow!!
So much goodness here!
Still pouring doubles!
Making carrot cake jam.
I miss my boys
Also not really a musical reference to derive this from, but it's fun, so enjoy it, dammit.
Then there was the great entwistle/skinwhistle/lutefisk debate. I found this Entwistle that we already knew. Sound doesn't start til about 1:33. Honestly it's an interesting video but can become tedious. The follow up isn't solely about the base and is such an amazing video.

Always loved live music but I have a young family so I don’t get out much.
So Danny Greaves was doing a solo set last Saturday at the Park theatre and I went out with two buddies who are fellow Watchmen fans. Danny opened for the Ripperz and I had no idea who they were. Danny did a great job and my buddies and I decided to stay to watch the Ripperz and man were they a talented band. We were older than their normal fans but Its pretty funny all three of the old men stayed until the band was done and we all left with Ripperz T shirts
(and a hang over the next day).

In my mind (and when I'm talking to my doctor doubles are just 'healthy pours' and count as a single. Single what, I'm not sure. Vat, just, barrel; regardless they remain singles.
OK, we are 16 days out from Christmas/Festivus or whatever you may align with. I'm away over Christmas, leaving on the 21st so have to do my damage early. Got the Grinch shit out of the way early so...
I really enjoy Broken Peach's take on so many songs, but to be honest I don't love that much of their Christmas fare. Still, can't deny their energy. It's exhausting watching them.
Really is not enough of DKM in the world when it comes right down to it. Have yet to see them live, but it's on the list.
Never not going to love watching this video. Already warned my wife this is the path in retirement.

Love it Buggs I grew up a massive Who fan and Entwhislte and Moon were a huge part of that. Listening to their odd (two leads) amazing rhythm ripping on “The Real Me” (Quadrophenia) was just so cool. Never saw them live with Moony which is a big regret.
