Since I had so much fun with the last survey, and because those people who
sent in responses thought it was such a good idea, I've decided to conduct
another survey. So:
This is the survey of FAVORITE SONGS
New rules:
1) you don't have to put them in any order
2) you can include up to 25 songs
3) all lists must be received by Oct 30th, 1985. I'll post the results
as soon afterwards as I can.
4) you can choose songs from any category of popular music that you wish
(jazz, rock, pop, folk, whatever)
5) the songs don't have to come from any format (so, if you're favourite
song only appears on a bootleg or a video tape, that's okay), but
I'd prefer if you'd mention where the song comes from if it's not
from a normal album or single
6) all listings must be in the following format:
artist - song title - (optional other data, such as source of song)
Single perfomers should be listed last name first, groups should not
have a The included.
Examples:
Smith, Patti - Piss Factory - from The NY Singles Scene (ROIR Tape)
Band - Don't Do It
Dylan, Bob and the Band - Quinn the Eskimo - from bootleg (GWW)
Any listings not in the above format will be ignored
7) Since I'll probably end up with over a thousand songs, you might want
to attempt some sort of suggestion as to how I can post the results.
(should I only post songs with more than one vote? Should I post
everything? Should I only post the things that I think are
interesting?)
I hope that this survey goes as well as the last one. (Perhaps I won't think
that the last one went well when comments/flames start coming in).

Random Thought: Why has there never been a legal live Springsteen album?bd@peora.UUCP (Bernie Dougan) (10/01/85)

>Random Thought: Why has there never been a legal live Springsteen album?
I saw an interview with Bruce last year (on MTV?) where he
was asked that question. If I remember correctly, he did not
feel that a live album would really be able to capture the
high energy of his performances. Also he feels that a live
performance is as much visual as audio and that could not
be captured on an album. I still wish that Bruce would put
out a live album anyway.

How about a video tape of a live performance? This ought to more accurately capture the *live* experience. Since they already had the cameras shooting the concerts (for the large video screens) one would think that this would not have been all that difficult to produce. Maybe they already thought of it... /Don -- "To err is human - to blame someone else is even more human" arpa: Wegeng.Henr@Xerox.ARPA csnet: Wegeng.Henr@Xerox.ARPA ns: dw:Wbst207V:Xerox uucp: {allegra,amd,decvax!rochester,princeton}!rocksvax!dw
