AboutSkeeter Expertise I can answer general questions about rock era bands, record labels they were on, and names of songs. Often I can tell the name of the record company that released a song, as well as the name of the song, and the year of release based on some of the lyrics. I grew up during the rock era and I am a musician myself, and always read the album and 45 info for production credits as well as lineups. One of the chat rooms I go to is quite amused at my ability to name a song along with it`s year of release and record label. I was also a record collector for years.
Question Ok I really like this old song. CAN'T FOR THE LIFE OF ME REMEMBER THE NAME. The guy that sings has a raspy voice so I can't in my head think of what the lines of the songs are. Seems like the first time I remember hearing it was from Miami Vice (TV). Starts off with at least a good minute or more of running up and down synthesizer. Singer sounds to me like could be Joe Walsh, but it's not. And the only words that I "think" is being said in the chorus are......."It's a put on"
I heard it on the Pilot episode of Fox's "Glee" recently. Just briefly. The beginning only. HELP it's driving me nuts.
Answer I immediately recognized the song you are thinking of, and I knew it to be by the Who
but I had to do a bit of research to find out the name of it.
It is a cool song, I have heard it a lot but it never occurred to me what the name of it is.
The name is Eminence Front by The Who.
Great song, and good question. Thanks for asking it, I would never have bothered to find out
the name of the song otherwise.
