Hey Prof, Ian Gillan wasn’t Purple’s Bassist!!

Totally agree with number one!

Man, I'd forgotten how good Johnny Cash's version of Ghost Riders is. And glad to hear that the two songs ARE, in fact, related. I've wondered about that for a long time.

Kermit is still putting out songs Remember the song that Cash redid HURT. well kermit remade it But as P-RN!! Worth checking out YES PO-N!!

It's Friday here

1973! Right in the middle of the British Glam Rock era. Great times as a kid until we found out about one Star who is totally shunned now

Also: @ProfessorofRock . If you ever do a piece about Michael Schenker, I'll tell you a true story about him and how I crossed paths with him and what went off backstage one year - again, when I was working the main stage on a rock festival. It's nothing bad, and I'm sure if by some miniscule chance that this gets back to MS, he wouldn't mind if I share the story.

I saw Stevie Wonder at the airport, but he didn’t see me.

1973 was an amazing year for music. Those were the songs of my childhood.

Good morning everyone. Hope you feel better soon Adam.

Great top 10!!! Love guitar solo on Reelin' by Elliott Randall. I'd add ZZ Top - La Grange, Aerosmith - Dream On, Jim Croce - Time In A Bottle.

Born in 1973 -- I appreciate this focus!

I was six years old in 73 and each one of these songs is seared into my soul. Great lesson! Feel better Professor. 👍🏼

wow, I never knew that was Beck on Supersition, know wonder that’s my fav Stevie song 🤘

Drift Away is one of those songs that you hope is one playing when the radio alarm goes off in the morning

I love it when Prof knows more about a record than the artist.

Also if you remember Hasbro's Pop -O- Matic with the game Trouble,,, you will absolutely dig this channel! Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎🎸🤟🏼

Tomy Turbo Racing was also an amazing toy, with an amazing internal mechanism

I did stage crew about 20 years ago and there was a band on the billing ( not top billing ) and it was simply called The Animals and Friends. I thought nothing of it at all until they started playing. It was The Animals -AND friends. The friends were a few members from the Moody Blues and Procal Harem. The put together band did all their collective big hit and they went down an absolute storm.

There's no L... Dobie. Watch & see?? 😂😂😂❤

Hope you feel better soon

Loved Rockin Rod's version of Drift Away. I cut my chops practicing the solo on Reelin .Excellent video today Adam. I saw Edgar at least once during the mid 70's.

I really love this channel! Thank you for all the content, brother!

Mentor Williams is Paul's brother.... did not know Paul had a brother.

Beck & Wonder … what an incredible combination 👍

And that's why Twitter trolls live in there parents basement and don't have anyone who make a new song

My birth year .. lets do this !!

The Bangles' cover of "Where Were You When I Needed You?" wasn't bad, either, but I was totally blown away by "Hazy Shade of Winter"! (My taste runs from Chuck Berry, the father of rock 'n' roll, to Abba, to the Bangles.)

Good morning, music junkies! Feel better soon, Adam.

New Zealand's success was probably due to Radio Hauraki, who was a pirate radio station.

1973. The Death of Ziggy Stardust

Hope you’re feeling better soon!

Happy Thursday!!

I remember they band the movie Wariors when it came out it had an R rating

Actually, LRB were a good Aussie band, but they were nowhere near the best. What they did was present the Yank (no offense) music hierarchy their music on terms that were acceptable to said hierarchy. Other much better bands simply refused to do so, and therefore the USA never got to see/hear them.

I listen to this song several times a week!!!❤❤

Well the eighties were mostly a great time for me but Pac-Man is one thing I’m glad to have left behind cause I could never win at it⚛️

He's so freaking arrogant! Get over yourself dude. You ain't all that

Multiple songs written about Courtney Love.

Usain Bolt I remember danced to 500 miles at the Glasgow commonwealth games on the track just before the 100 m final & many other finalists also joined him on the tracks having a boogie while warming up .

I love these guys..great job interviewing

Graham sang "Kings of the world" by Mississippi, a great song!

It always made me a little uncomfortable when Anne Murray sang about her "shaving razor" when she covered this.

Wow, that was awesome.

I love lady

Never before had a band lived so richly and aged so poorly.

...... 7.6 million .........and still going up daily

saw them the first time they came to Toronto. Great band and put on a great show. My favourite song is Cool Change

Heather Mills threatened Paul McCartney openly in TV as they where getting divorced. She wanted to tell something that hit's like a Bomb if he doesn't do what she wants.

I have been a Bob Dylan fan since I was fifteen years old, and that was 60 years ago. If I had to choose my favourite Dylan song it would be “Like a Rolling Stone”, although closely followed by Blowin in the Wind, Mr Tambourine Man, Times They are a changin and Tangled up in Blue. Bob wrote so many wonderful songs that it’s difficult to come up with a shortlist.
