True. (Billy Joe Royal recorded both Hey Joe and Hush, BTW, in both cases before their most famous versions).
But the melodies of “Day” and “Hush” are identical as well.

Four bits:
D Boon yelling “NO WAY!” in the Minutemen cover of “Ain’t Talkin Bout Love”.
In the Beatles’ “I Want You {She’s So Heavy)”, I like when Paul chimes in his backing vocal on “Heavy”, giving that part more cojones.
The jazzy, atonal guitar noodle at the end of a “I want you so ba-a-a-ad” line.
And John’s scream.
Eric Church- “Springsteen”
“I bumped into her by happenstance…”
I love the use of the word happenstance. For whatever reason, it makes me really happy.
Welcome to the Dope, @majicats !
Hope you stick around.
That’s a nice song; I like Eric Church but I hadn’t heard that one before.
Thanks for the welcome- I’ve been here for years, but only post once about every three or four years. As you might surmise, I really, really love the use of the word happenstance ![]()
Speaking of things that make you really happy, it brightened my day to see Eric Church mentioned here. I don’t see a whole lot of fans of country music on this board.
Charlie Watts - “Shattered” - fun hihat/snare interplay at exactly 3:21.
Ringo’s lumbering, jazzy, (and longest!*) solo in “Dear Prudence”, capped off by that groovy piano glissando.
* Yup, longer than “the End” one.
Sorry, that was Paul. They laid that one down while Ringo had briefly left the band. “Back in the USSR” is another.
The piano runs in “Manic Monday”:
I love this song! It got a lot of airplay at the radio station where I worked back in the '90s
Ah interesting. Thanks.
Cracking maybe my Top 28 Genesis numbers would be “Abacab”; I otherwise really like the groovy melodic Tony Banks break (or mini-bridge, whatever ya wanna call it) at 2:32.
Huh, completely overlooked yours.
Love the heavy guitar string bending at the end of every (verse) bar in Blue Cheer’s “Summertime Blues”.
In Alan Jackson’s cover of “Mercury Blues” there are two little upward licks toward the end of the first guitar solo, I believe played by Brent Mason. Those alone made me start listening to country music in the 90s.
The wonderful fart note in Bowie’s “Space Odyssey”.
Ahhh, the YES section of the song. I like that bridgelet too, but immediately thought of another prog band.
As in so many of the posts here, I’ve got to hear more from this band. I loved Peter Gabriel-fronted Genesis, but after hearing that Tony Banks keyboard* work, I’ll give the later stuff a try.
*and what keyboards… I just read the Wiki on him, and all the organs and synths he’s used and customized, even a piano-mixed-through-a-leslie.
fuckin eh on Leslies.
Churning awesomeness.
And not just for Hammond organs/keyboards.
Remembering that part in “Behind Blue Eyes” just gave me the shivers.
I know what I’m listening to tomorrow
Speaking of “fart notes,” there’s a good one near the end of the slow movement of Hydn’s 93rd symphony.
Silversun Pickups has a song called “There’s no secrets this year” which kicks off their album “Swoon”. Overall, it’s a mediocre song, compared to their hits, but it has this little guitar riff that is just amazing and gets me pumped up every time. It only happens twice in the song, once in the middle and again at the very end.
It’s at 2:55 and 4:23.
