"You're No Good" is a song written by Clint Ballard, Jr., first performed by Dee Dee Warwick for Jubilee Records in 1963 with production by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. It has since been covered by many artists, including charting versions by Betty Everett in 1963, The Swinging Blue Jeans in 1964, and Linda Ronstadt in 1975, whose version was a number 1 hit in the United States.

"The spirit it was freedom and justice
And its keepers seemed generous and kind
Its leaders were supposed to serve the country
But now they won't pay it no mind

'Cause the people grew fat and got lazy
Now their vote is a meaningless joke
They babble about law and order
But it's all just an echo of what they've been told"

I guess you could call this a cover...

In 1967, the Vanilla Fudge took a pop hit from the Supremes and Holland, Dozier ,and Holland, and did a psychedelic version, which came to be their trademark style, and thus opening an entirely new era to the public.

I have a friend who has lived in SoCal like forever. He keeps saying he want to move out of there. He'll ask about the weather in cities out this way....
Does it get hot ? YES
Does it get cold and snow? YES
How far are the drag strips? 100 , 200, 300 miles "OH"

I keep telling him you're in The Last Resort....

Re: Musical Tastes
 

I don't know why... But I don't like the Moodys. Something about them I don't like. Can't put my finger on it. Kind of mellow, but we can see by my picks I sometimes like mellow. I'm sure Mark will tell me ..

Re: Musical Tastes
 

Mello... yet cerebral... vaguely psychedelic...

Re: Musical Tastes
 

Jeff, Sometimes I can't put my finger on it either..Not so with AC/DC, Led Zep

Some might know this, but the Moodys first hit it big with a cover of a Bessie Banks song..(Go Now !)..This was 1965 A bit later , Denny Laine (later of Wings) left the group.
Justin Hayward stepped in , as lead guitarist, vocalist and chief songwriter.
The Days of Future Past featured a symphony orchestra up front, and sold a whole bunch of copies. Lots of bands used symphonies, such as Procol Harum, The Beatles
But the critics claimed the Moodys were not a R&R band. This is why, IMO, it took them so long to get into the R&R HOF. They were NOT known for scandals, arguments, and heavy booze and drug abuse... In other words, they didn't fit in.

I think, if I was able to come back as someone else, it would be Justin Hayward!
Multi -talented , classy guy..
I figure if I could sit down with my guitar, and all these great riffs and lyrics would just come to me, I wouldn't be in the garage, having a 25 year old car kick my ***.
I might be at one of my houses at Cornwall by the Sea ;-)

For me its the Doors, Joni Mitchell, Bruce Springsteen (to me he sings like he has a mouth full of dog do do).... there's several others. As I think of them I'll add them,

Then there's other ones, no matter if they been played to death or not, every time I hear them I reach over and turn them up ..
Sweet Home Alabama, Layla, Long Way to the Top, Carry On My Wayward Son,, and others that I will add as I recall

Re: Musical Tastes
 

Some songs seem timeless to me... Midnight Rider (original version ABB) Listen to the Music. Doobies, Do you believe in Magic... Spoonful, Sunny Afternoon., Kinks
More than a Feeling..Boston, as if anyone didn't know ;-)

The people who disliked this should immediately get a covid test as one of the symptoms is no taste.

Re: Musical Tastes
 

Speaking of timeless...this song is 54 years old, but it doesn't sound like it to me.

If today's musicians could write and play songs like this, they wouldn't suck ;-)

That must be it Eddie ! LOL I must have had that dag gone Covid for 40 years !

Re: Musical Tastes
 

I've been reading the posts from you guys for the past several months. They are interesting, but I haven't heard of a lot of the songs. I just figured it out. You guys are selecting all MALE groups.

I went back 4 pages before one of you had something by Linda Ronstadt. All of my favs include female singers.

You guys, that only like guy groups must be ...... racist? No, that's not it...
Anti-feminist? No, that's not it. Serious, no that's not it.....hummmm

Re: Musical Tastes
 

I have to go ago with Mark and Jeff on this issue of the Moody Blues. My tastes are music from 1966 to 1972. They were just different, it was just music to relax to, because you sure the heck couldn't dance to some of it.

Re: Musical Tastes
 

Let me find something from Ace of Cups, they opened Hendrix and Jefferson Airplane.

Gary, How about a female lead? Supposedly used in modern times ,,movie? TV? I don't have a clue.. The comments are pathetic

So Gary wants women .... This was the Lady Ga Ga in my day. When my grandkids asked what the 80's were all about, all I need do is put this Video on and walk away .. LOL'
BTW, she was married ( I think she still is) to the guitar player.

Re: Musical Tastes
 

Jeff, I've never heard of her???? Lol
I was thinking more on the lines of Pat Benetar, Patty Smyth/Scandal, Quarterflash, Michelle Phillips, Stevie Nick's, etc
