Songs about Maria, excluding religious themes

01. Beautiful Maria of My Soul ~ Armand Arsante

02. Santana - Maria Maria

03. Beck - Maria

04. Blondie - Maria

05. Maria (You Were The Only One) · Michael Jackson

Topic: When the drummer, who isn't typically the frontman, takes over lead vocals on a specific track

01 The Bangles - Be With You
02 The Beatles - Don't Pass Me By (Remastered 2009)
03 Queen - I'm in Love with my Car
04 The Beach Boys - Do You Wanna Dance
05 Sweet - Play All Night

07 Foo Fighters - Have a Cigar
08 Journey - Mother Father (Deen Castronov on vocals)
09 The Band - The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down (Levon Helm on vocals 🙏)

Ashley Brown81 said:Technically, everyone in The Band contributed to the vocals, but they stated in their self-titled documentary that they always viewed Manuel as their primary vocalist, so I believe this fits the criteria perfectly.

Much like this instance here:

10. Hotel California (2013 Remaster) · Eagles

Don Henley

Songs about Maria that aren't religious in nature😉

01. Beautiful Maria of My Soul ~ Armand Arsante

Topic: The drummer, who typically stays behind the kit rather than taking center stage, stepping up to provide lead vocals on a selected track.

01 The Bangles - Be With You
02 The Beatles - don't pass me by ( Remastered 2009)

(Ringo Starr)

A demand for instructions delivered straight to Vladimir Putin.
Fortunately, I expect nothing from it. The Russians will simply shuffle their pieces and deploy their "conventional forces."

Subject: Identifying studio albums on Vinyl Record where at least half of the tracks were released as singles (7", 12", or both). Essentially, if an album contains 8 songs, 4 or more must have been issued as singles in any market.
Please select a song from such an album to illustrate your point, ensuring you specify the studio album and list the corresponding singles.
Compilations are, naturally, excluded.
Live albums are also out, though finding an instance where half the setlist was released as a single might prove quite difficult.
Only albums released prior to 1999 are eligible for discussion.

The topic at hand concerns studio albums released on Vinyl Record that feature a significant concentration of singles within their tracklist. Specifically, I am looking for albums where at least half of the songs were previously issued—or perhaps concurrently released—as standalone singles, such as 7" or 12" formats. To clarify the parameters: if a particular Vinyl Record contains eight tracks, then four or more of those compositions must have been released as singles in any given market. I am interested in identifying those specific instances where the album functions essentially as a collection of previously established hits.
Pick any track from the album for the illustration; the only thing that truly matters is that you specify which studio album it belongs to and list the associated singles.
Compilations, naturally, are excluded.
Live albums present their own set of challenges as well, though it is likely quite difficult to find an instance where half of the tracks were originally released as singles in their live versions.
Only albums released prior to 1999 are under consideration.

01 Iggy Pop - Hide Away (Vinyl Record - Blah Blah Blah - 1986 - singles Cry for Love, Wild One, Fire Girl, Isolation, Shades)

Queen - Crazy Little Thing Called Love Queen - Crazy Little Thing Called Love The 1980 vinyl record release, featuring Save Me, Play The Gama, Another One Bites the Dust, and Genesis - Tonight.

Genesis - Tonight Tonight, Tonight, Tonight. The 1986 release of the Invisible Touch album remains a significant moment in musical history. Within this collection, we find several standout singles that define the era: Invisible Touch, Throwing It All Away, In Too Deep, and Land of Confusion. Each track serves as a testament to the polished production standards of the mid-eighties.

David Bowie - Let's Dance There is an undeniable, almost heavy weight to David Bowie’s "Cat People (Putting Out Fire)." When you sit with it, you realize it isn't just another track on the soundtrack; it is a calculated, moody masterpiece that captures a specific kind of urban desperation. The production feels dense, almost claustrophobic, which perfectly mirrors the lyrical descent into that dark, feline instinct. It’s one of those songs where Bowie seems to be staring right through you, delivering those lines with a weary authority that most modern artists simply cannot replicate. It’s sophisticated, it’s cinematic, and frankly, it’s far more substantive than the filler we see being pushed today. Let's dance back to 1983 with the Let's Dance album, featuring the standout tracks Let's Dance, China Girl, Modern Love, and Without You.

Arthur Sanders74 said:What an absolute parade of pomposity and sheer kitsch! 🤮

Honestly, some people seem desperate to wear something heavy on their heads when they clearly have nothing weighing down their minds to begin with... 🕺

Linda King said:I’m not even certain if the vaccine is effective, and frankly, I suspect my symptoms would have been identical regardless of whether I was vaccinated or not. However, the mRNA technology itself shows immense promise, and I take pride in having participated in this experiment.

Ultimately, it is your prerogative to make your own decisions, and I find nothing controversial about that.
The genuine issue lies in the propagation of convictions held without any actual understanding of the underlying facts. This is particularly true regarding the "Phobos and Deimos" crowd.

The studies generally utilized two groups consisting of approximately 22,000 individuals each.

In the vaccinated group, there were 8 deaths.
In the placebo group, there were 162 deaths.

Eight represents roughly 5%... which implies a "success rate" of 95%...

The metric used was simply the "similarity" between the groups.🤣

But you hit the nail on the head—it was an experiment... though it certainly wasn't testing physiological immunity.🙂

Linda King said:That’s why aspirin exists; it thins everything out.

It isn't quite that simple. I had assumed you shared some connection to the medical field, much like the main character here, though perhaps not in the same capacity—he is, after all, an obvious user.

Do you actually know how Pfizer arrived at their vaccine efficacy data? Mind you, I wrote about this on the forum a couple of years ago based on official figures released by that charitable organization.

In any case, bluecyclist64 is merely trying to nudge you along, though it isn't just 🕺

Linda King said:I might actually look into this; I've read bits and pieces about the case. I generally avoid tuna even though I love it more than anything else, but I think I've met my lifetime quota. Organic mercury is far more dangerous than the kind found in metal form.

That’s a very temporal way of looking at it; aluminum is actually more hazardous to the brain... as far as I am aware, poultry fumes are dangerous, whereas the mercury itself isn't. Regardless, I will give this segment a watch.

At home, we have gone through so much Rio Mare (by far the best) that it hardly matters anymore; you never truly know what you're eating, yet we remain loyal for the sake of price and flavor. The same goes for tuna steaks... delicious.
Then there are the salmon fillets... lemon, cheese, wine, and as one noblewoman here suggests, one really ought to try it with kiwi.

And when I prepare pasta, sauce, or salad, using a random hard Thai cheese...
one must be careful with their fingers (not while grating, mind you).
Once you pair it with white wine, you stop worrying about anything at all. 😁
I have an excellent supplier; you can practically smell the grapes in the glass.

Regarding Pfizer, it is possible that blood viscosity increases, though whether that is permanent, I cannot say. There are too many question marks. Everyone in my circle had it, except for me—if one doesn't count those two days when things were "like that" while I was acting as a caregiver. 😁 As for the vaccine, I didn't feel a thing; truth be told, I was among the last to get vaccinated (others were already on their third or fourth dose) while I was still on my first.

Review:

Arthur Sanders74 said:Blanche, Blanche... honestly. I cannot believe the crowd that has assembled here just because of you... 😁

Allow me... we have touched down... the wind at this altitude is quite something... several thousand feet up, though perhaps we were actually at ground level and simply didn't realize it. 🕺

One really ought to be careful about what one wishes for. 😁

Here is something fitting. A truly beautiful specimen, one of those types... who steal your very breath away.



My thanks to the woman who serves as my inspiration.

We’ve been somewhat "lagging behind"... a keen observation on your part. 😁 Granted, hand_of_servant arrived after me—appearing, if I may be so bold, to be older and perhaps more cautious 🕺if not outright wiser
.
And who might this... honorable caller of my humble station be? "Anna four guns"?

Though, one who indulges in eating too much fish ought to keep an eye out for those Minamata warnings.

Jack Cook7 said:At first, I found it amusing, but then I was immediately struck by the realization that my conscience operates on a ten-second delay.

And frankly, I find being startled quite distasteful; it serves as a rather unpleasant reminder that I am lagging behind.

That sentiment should have been expressed much earlier. 🕺 😁

Review:

Jesse Price said:A decline in cognitive function is one of the primary indicators of mercury poisoning. 😢

You are running the risk of having to explain your reasoning 🤣 😉

Review:

Jack Cook7 said:Good grief, Linda King, this topic is supposedly "the third blessing for global politicians," yet you seem unable to tackle such a straightforward task.

The solution is incredibly simple.

Never expect anything from any of those politicians. Thank goodness.

They clearly lack even a shred of dark humor... 😉

Everything is laid out right there; one simply needs to know how to read. It's my personal favorite, isn't it?

We could teach them quite a bit about the fragmentation of consciousness, despite our own supposed conscience.
