Willie G. Moseley Posted March 16, 2020 Posted March 16, 2020 I tuned in to this late and only got informed about "Cocaine", "Lucy in the SKy w/ Diamonds" and "White Rabbit" (3, 2, and 1, respectively). I understand this episode actually ran last year. Does anybody have the complete list? Can't find it on the 'net. I'm not particularly a fan of some of AXS's presentations, including certain episodes of "Rock Legends" (possibly an England production) like the one that's on as I am typing this. It's declaring that the Moody Blues, Traffic, and ELP purveyed psychedelic music. Maybe it's lost in some cultural miasmic fog, but to me, the Moodys are orchestral rock, Traffic was jazz and folk-tinged pop and ELP is progressive (as was King Crimson, Yes. Greenslade, et. al.
crunchee Posted March 16, 2020 Posted March 16, 2020 I dunno; considering my age and general physical condition, this song might make that Top Ten list: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8Ow1nlafOg But seriously, I wonder if these two songs made the list...the newest on that short list of 3 is "Cocaine", and that's from the Seventies: Edited to add: I don't get AXS on my cable, but I found the program page...apparently, that episode is the "Top Ten Revealed" season finale and it's recent, so likely it hasn't been quoted by anyone yet. The promo video isn't really giving up any clues, IMO: http://www.axs.tv/originals/drugsongs/
alantig Posted March 16, 2020 Posted March 16, 2020 This show (the whole program, not the episode specifically) is not on DirecTV's on demand service, but the episode is scheduled to repeat on March 27 at 4 PM Eastern. I watched it when it first aired - I want to say the Afroman song was on there. Not Grandmaster Flash, though. Those programs are always a bit puzzling - they apparently generate their lists from social media polls, and some of the choices make you shake your head. They rarely, if ever, repeat an artist in the list. Very Best Of The 70s is another show that's done the same way. They did a list of the top 10 sketch comedians of the 70s, and a lot of the people you'd think would be there were - John Candy, John Belushi, Gilda Radner, Bill Murray. Carol Burnett - but no Tim Conway. And the number one? Dan Aykroyd. Aykrod was great - but the best of the 70s?
Hbom Posted March 16, 2020 Posted March 16, 2020 Aw shucks I missed it. Did they have the Hamer 12 Bass sitting in the corner?

It's there about every third or fourth show. 5 hours ago, MCChris said: Katie Daryl is hot. That's all I got. Her dresses are so tight I don't think she can move her legs. Seriously - check them out during a show.

Willie G. Moseley Posted March 16, 2020 Author Posted March 16, 2020 Getting back to the topic of this thread, I have my doubts that "King Heroin" (James Brown), "Amphetamine Annie" (Canned Heat), or "Heroin" (Velvet Underground) made the list....although IMO that last one should have, particularly since Lou Reed's live version was equally as powerful as the VU's original.

It took me about four episodes to realize they must carry her out and stand her there for the show, like they did w/Bowie on SNL. Then again, it was four or five episodes until I realized she had legs...
