The Weekend YouTube Music Video Thread

Today in music history

Alan Freed, the American D.J. who coined the term “rock and roll”, had his 1952 Rock ’n’ Roll Stage Show at a local arena cancelled when 30000 fans overcrowded the venue. Fire regulations allowed only 10000.

The Guess Who released their biggest hit, “American Woman,” this week in 1970. Randy Bachman left the band four months later because of religious conflicts with the rock and roll lifestyle. Burton Cummings carried the band until 1975.

Bob Dylan’s song, “Hurricane,” caused enough publicity to get Rubin “Hurricane” Carter released from jail in 1976. The song promoted Carter’s innocence and is from the 1975 album, Desire.

Strawberry Fields, an area in Central Park bought by Yoko Ono in memory of her late husband was opened in 1984.

Rick Astley!!

I've never Rick Rolled anyone before so I couldn't help it : )

But don't worry I've been Rick Rolled several times myself so you're not alone. I still can't help but laugh every time I do.

[trisham]

Wow. “The Leaves” were pretty good.

[JRios1968]

It's ok...we've all been Rick Rolled before...just to show there's no harm done, enjoy this video.

[MotleyGirl70]

Lol!

Dang it, totally clueless and duped again.

Another ABC guilty pleasure:

Be Near Me

Unfortunately, no original videos for "Many Happy Returns" or "Tears Are Not Enough" are on YouTube. Those two are top shelf too.

[Gomez]

Santana - She's Not There

Most of the covers on YouTube give credit to Santana; no love for the Zombies.

[andyssister]

Just finished watching those Pendragon videos. They're really good. Reminded me of Marillion

[andyssister]

I've never Rick Rolled anyone before so I couldn't help it

LOL! I've been Rick Rolled!! I feel so violated. :)

[andyssister]

Wonder why? I love The Zombies. Time of the Season is such a great song, even when done a cappella

Or maybe not. ;)

[Gomez]

We have been neglecting prog lately

Nektar - Crying In The Dark / King Of Twilight
odd break
Part 2

[Gomez]

It would have been cool if they dressed up like movie zombies.

Tell Her No

[OCC]

I think I post this song every time Marillion is mentioned, but it is the only one I know!

Marillion - Kayleigh

[OCC]

Kiss went on to remake this song (Zombies => Argent)... they kind of looked like Zombies.

Argent - God Gave Rock 'n' Roll To You"
