Re: Best / Worst Christmas songs by Rockers?

Carrie Underwood and John Lennon are/were rockers? Rocker4Real…please let us know your thoughts. Point taken. She's pop country, but the song is spectacular the way it's arranged.

Please explain, John Lennon saying "there is not one single Beatles tune that I like as is, ...."

I got this quote from Ranker. It had a list of famous rockers that hated some of their most popular songs.

Apparently Rob Plant dislikes Stairway...too.

Was Lennon serious? Or just some kind of perfectionist?

Doobies is interesting. It's easy to forget that they were really an RB band. I never liked "listen to the music, " but I'm remembering the harmonies, and they drove that song. I can't remember if they relied on live harmonies when Michael McDonald was lead singer, like on echoes of live. ...

My favorite all time live song recording is STARDUST from Woodstock. I think Graham Nash put the magic into that song.

The American equivalence is buying a "ranch".

But at least you're not sitting in a 800 year old run down stone behemoth.

I saw a pic of Steve Winwood recently. Looks like he's sitting in some old freezing cold dank smelly castle.

TINY HOUSES....are a big thing.

It's living in a space 400 square feet or less.
