Members DRW50 Posted January 8, 2011 Members Share Posted January 8, 2011 Was there any decade better than the 70s for songs that you shake your head at the shamelessness of and yet you still find yourself moved.

Members All My Shadows Posted January 8, 2011 Members Share Posted January 8, 2011 Wildfire would have been my next post for sure. I think there's a whole genre of "cheesy but depressing" 70s songs out there. I'll let someone else do Seasons in the Sun, but whenever I think of that one, Wildfire, and Shannon, this one isn't far behind: Please register in order to view this content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted January 9, 2011 Members Share Posted January 9, 2011 This song as a child had me thinking a lot. It is a very somber sad song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cct Posted January 9, 2011 Members Share Posted January 9, 2011 LOL, this came on my friends iPod the other day right after a Guns and Roses song, and I took one look at her and said, "Any person who has an iPod with the potential to shuffle these two songs right after one another is a friend for life." And then of course I led right into "Looks like it's over..." in my dulcet-tone falsetto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Titus Andronicus Posted January 10, 2011 Members Share Posted January 10, 2011 I think I'm one of the few people who actually likes Seasons in the Sun Please register in order to view this content Speaking of the Beach Boys, they had plenty of cheesy stuff in the 1970s, but some of it actually had some emotion. Unreleased until 1990s box set, but still dates from the 1970s - Still I Dream of It. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members alphanguy74 Posted January 10, 2011 Members Share Posted January 10, 2011 And this is one of my top ten favorite songs of all time. Sad, but DURMATIC! It sounds so dark and hypnotic, doing a slow build throughout the song, and then the use of the timpani right before and during the last chorus just makes the song EXPLODE. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-C-5FDyuaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members alphanguy74 Posted January 10, 2011 Members Share Posted January 10, 2011 And of course, what many consider the saddest song in music history (Or a close second to Bobby Goldsboro's "Honey (I Miss you)": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_sk7OycjdI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
