Rock Songs That Can’t be In the QuickHitz Selection
Geeks & Beats ^ | August 15, 2014 | Vanessa Azzoli

It seems everyone has an opinion about the Calgary radio station’s choice to adopt the new QuickHitz editing program, writes G&B writer Vanessa Azzoli.

We certainly can’t forget the rock songs we love (and sometimes love to hate) that need to be listened to in their full length in order to be awesome. I’ve put together a list of some of my favourites. There are some obvious choices on here – I think every person I asked said “Stairway to Heaven.”

But, there are some on here that I think most of us forgot about. What are your favourite lengthy rock tunes?

Nah, “Karn Evil 9” is MUCH longer. :) Enough so that it began on side 1 of Brain Salad Surgery.

Allman Brothers Live at the Fillmore East is the THE BEST live album ever recorded. Period.

Quadrophenia was the best Who album. Kept me sane, or manageably not, for about four years.

You know I like The Who, and they played the best concert I ever saw, but I still gotta give the live award to Fillmore East.

Who’s Next is the best, especially if you include the other “Lifehouse” songs Pete didn’t put on it like: Join Together, Relay, I Don’t Even Know Myself, Water.....

PS: “Punk and the Godfather” in Market Square Arena was the best live song I ever saw. That song rocked on Quad, it was 10 times that live.

My uncle is semi-retired from the music business (discovered Gordon Lightfoot, started own record label, now negotiates record deals for new acts) and he has a lot of stories about how government efforts to “help” musicians musicians ended up backfiring in a huge way. Just one example is the state of the industry here in Toronto.

Back in the 1970s there were a lot of record labels established here, both because of the depth of our local talent pool and the state-of-the-art recording facilities that capitalized on US tax laws (albums recorded in USA were taxed on worldwide sales, here on domestic sales only). These companies spent a lot of money promoting new acts, and it was all bankrolled by the ~5% who actually managed to come up with a hit. In the 1980s, Ottawa decided that foreign record companies weren’t doing enough to promote Canadian talent and threatened them with Canadian-content rules. The result? The foreign labels snapped up all the Canadian hitmakers, putting most of the Canadian labels out of business. How did my uncle keep his label going? By acquiring Canadian distribution rights to foreign artists such as Weird Al Yankovic. AFAIK the only survivor from that era that still develops new talent is Vancouver’s Nettwerk Music.

It was the first LP I ever bought. Used my birthday money for a present to myself. I miss LPs for the sleeve art and liner notes. CD booklets aren’t the same.
