I didn't care for the remake.

Did you listen to the original Grass Roots version? What did you think of it? You prefer the remake? I realize that different generations have different tastes. For example, some decades back, some young friends preferred Van Halen's version of Pretty Woman over Roy Orbinson's original version. I didn't, and couldn't understand it. Probably a generational thing. Hey, that's me. It's your time period.

Why were songs so short in the late 60s - early 70s? Nearly all of the songs above are less than 3:10

Did you listen to the original Grass Roots version? Yes What did you think of it? It was good Yes, I like the cover the Lords of the New Church did. Prior, I did not know until today that the song was a cover. You like the remake better? For me there were subtle differences. It was only at the end are there really any differences. I like the cover's ending because it's a little more edgy. sidebar: I really, really like heavy guitar riffs or piano cords over heavy bass beats.

 There's a lot of great music out there, you don't have to do it in one shot. No one can.Joe I used to DJ for 8 years. I love music. It's probably the most awesome form expression, for me. I like to send music as emails. I use the music's lyrics to convey the message that I want. Some guys "get" what I'm doing - others just think I'm sending them a song and wonder: Why is he sending me this song? The guys who get that it's the lyrics I'm conveying are the cool guys.

"They" do have the psychology nailed down. By the time I was into music, 8-10 years old, disco was big and songs were hella long. McAuther Park by Donna Summer/Georgio Moroder was like 16 minutes long. I was in heaven. In the late 90s when I was really clubbing, I used to ask the DJ to stretch the song (two copies of the same song on two different turntables and mix them together to make the song longer). He said I was spoiled.
