Roger Chapman, Charlie Whitney and Bob Tench in fine form...

Let's continue with rock music in unusual time signatures. Today we feature songs in 11/4 or 11/8. As suggested by Poojer, here we have the Grateful Dead. Also in the second example, the time signature is included in the title.

Regarding cars, I would call me not cheap, but frugal. In my 40+ years of driving, I just owned 7 cars. All of them were bought used and were at least four years old when I purchased them. And we put a lot of miles on them. My first car in the US (after I moved here from Germany) was an Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser, and we took it for trips from Rochester to the West Coast, to Florida, to Louisiana, and to Newfoundland. It died with 270,000 miles on the odometer. Currently, I drive a 2010 Odyssey and my wife has a 2013 Honda CRV. In our upper middle class neighborhood, these are the oldest cars you will see around.

Correct, it's "The Duke". Congratulations!

Not Richard Burton, different genre. The guy we are looking for won one Oscar, pretty late in his career.

To quote myself

That gets the age about right, but he is more famous than Bridges.

No, he was older than Paul Newman. There was some time overlap, but as far as I know they never appeared together in a movie.

He is American, but he does not dance in his movies. He is especially well know for one specific movie genre.

Early in his career he actually played in one or two musicals, but his singing was dubbed.

Yes, dead.

Dead.

Not Gary, not Babe. Older than Gary, younger than Babe.

Actor yes, Brando no.

This thread appears to be on the verge of dying. As I enjoyed it very much, I will try to put it on life support. Who is this young fellow?

1. The Band. It is amazing that a band doing "Americana" and Southern music/R&B so well is actually 80% Canadian. 2. Joni Mitchell (here with an all-star band: Pat Metheny, Jaco Pastorius, Michael Brecker, Lyle Mays, Don Alias) 3. The Tragically Hip All these had been mentioned before. Thus, to add my personal "obscure Canadian band":

The LP version available in Germany actually had your pic on the inside, while the parody of the Sgt. Pepper's cover was on the cover (as FZ had originally intended).

Actually not the cover, but the inner sleeve of Traffic's "On The Road"...

As a student in Germany in the mid-seventies, some friends and I sometimes brought Trout Mask Replica to parties. It certainly got the attention of the disco crowd.

And now, for something completely different. A musical medley (mostly classical) played by a model train... Miniatur Wunderland is Hamburg (Germany) is the largest model railroad layout in the World. As it is still closed because of the pandemic (they hope to reopen soon), they had to occupy their core employees otherwise. The video above is what they came up with.

Another gem less than 3 minutes long. While Kristin Hersh does not quite have the vocal abilities of Grace Slick, her hard-rock outfit, 50 ft wave, beats Jefferson Airplane on intensity.

Yes, but the purpose of this thread is to show us those you think are the best. And I would not classify most songs in this thread as "pop". Here is one that clearly is "pop". Here is a live version of it (to stay within the "under 3 minutes" rule, you have to start at around 2:30. Before that, the video shows the interaction of Hayley Williams with audience members).

I am doing those only when I cannot come up with an answer. And I would never post the result of the search. Except in this case, where it was obviously incorrect but funny.

According to a Google Image Search, the correct answer is "Senior Citizen".
