bill.alphi48@gmail.c Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Hi, My name is Bill, from Boston USA. An old "baby boomer" that always loved the old UK sound - probably due to full-blooded Irish roots. Also, old ax player at some local gigs in my misspent youth.Anyway, trying to recall the name of a band and/or song title of one my favorite tunes of the early '70's. These are the clues: Scott/Brit band, lyrics went - " Just a roll of your drum and the war has just begun...." a mean electric violin solo @break. {sorry that's it - lot of weed}The song was popular on alternative Rock stations (eg WBCN Boston, Ma) and I had the album, long lost in the shuffle. The song can be best described as a bluesy folk rock.I am laid up and would love to find/hear this song one more time...also kinda curious if it held the test of time... if it was indeed as great a song as remembered...in a better time and place. May the Music continue to inspire, and fill those rayless days we all endure. Peace....WildBill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bill.alphi48@gmail.c Posted March 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Unreal - that was quik....Elwood you made my day!! What a flashback, no wonder I couldn't remember the title...Sloth from Full House.Gotta chance to see their other version in earlier times - "smashing". Now to get/hear the original studio version...loved the polished product (unless live of course).Decades mystery solved, thanks again....WildBill. P.S. A classic song is like a true love....never gets old!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigsby Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 OK Elwood, see if you can clear this one up for me as well, it's been in my head bugging me for a few months now.It's the chorus of a song I think, it goes "we just don't xxxx, we just don't xxxx" .The word I'm not sure may well be "care", ie "We just don't care".I think it's an early 80s, New Romantic style thing.Anyone?

Camie Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Best thing for lyrics is to google it first. 9 times out of 10 it comes up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill.alphi48@gmail.c Posted March 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Just to add a fast comment (I'm at work), actually it is quite sad where the music of today has evolved. Currently stateside, there is a vacuum of good music...whereas even a mediocre song of yesteryear would sound great if released today. I'm always trying to figure out what/when things went downhill...I think a great part of it is due to the almighty $$. Hopefully the internet will change all that - to expose some untapped talent/creativity....the perfect vehicle. Another whole topic... nite gents...WB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
