I know every word.
Growing up in New England this was a part of my annual Thanksgiving traditions and I probably had all the words memorized well into the 90's. Unfortunately many people I encountered here in the southeast, didn't think it needed to be a part of their traditions and I was voted down to the point that the lyrics faded from my active memory.
Fast forward a decade or two years...
About 3-4 Thanksgivings ago, someone at the table asked if I had any Thanksgiving family traditions from "up north". I said, "Yes, I do. It's a traditional song that was played on local radio every year." After a quick youtube search, my wife, kids, in-laws, & some friends were introduced to the story of Alice's Restaurant. Although my wife now requests that I wait until the meal is "officially over", last Thanksgiving my youngest daughter asked for "The Thanksgiving Song" before we started and I pressed play during desert. The chorus has now turned into a big sing-along for the kids and although her eyes roll every time, the smile on my wife's face watching her kids laugh and sing along makes me think she likes it too!
Thanks for posting a happy memory STG!!
Peace,
Mr DJA

dragged to it long long ago by an ex-girlfriend, but she put on one helluva show
tell us more ... what did your ex do ta up-stage Celine ....????
It isn't the songs -- they're great songs, it's the arrangements. Unfortunately, Richard Carpenter housed his mixing desk in an elevator.Quote

Also agree with whoever said Karen Carpenter had the best female voice ever, Period. Just think of how great she could have been had someone given her the proper songs to sing, instead of that schmaltz they produced. Kind of like Elvis.

Oh God no! Though Celine WAS one of the best shows I've ever seen - admittedly I was dragged to it long long ago by an ex-girlfriend, but she put on one helluva show!

UGH OK so.... My musical tastes are well varied and run the spectrum of genres and artists....But some of this Pop stuff is among my collection....
I still love my 80's hair metal bands most - as a genre that is
I have all of Xtina's albums
I also have all of Selena Gomez's albums, and Shakira's
Beiber's last album I own and think is damn good!
I like, and saw in concert, The Weeknd
I was a big fan of 90's country (Garth, Shania Twain, Joe Diffie, Tracy Lawrence, Sara Evans, Alan Jackson, etc)
I recently became a Little Monster and now have all of Lady Gaga's albums
I have both Greatest Hits collections of Abba
I love the Eagles
I am a huge Madonna fan and still hope to see her in concert one day. I also think Erotica would be a phenomenal album to fk to
I think Michael Jackson was phenomenal
I saw Janet Jackson in concert
I have the Carpenters Greatest Hits, along with the Partridge Family, and Jan & Dean.
Most of the time I don't understand the following that Pink Floyd, the Doors, and the Grateful Dead have.
I also have the Alice's Restaurant album
The Stones made me a huge Black Eyed Peas fan, and I think Will.I.Am is a genius
I have all of No Doubt and Gwen's albums
I love Beyoncé and Rihanna
I love dancing to Bruno Mars
I have a Russian bootleg of Katy Perry's Greatest Hits, and same for Taylor Swift (at least she does write her own songs - I'll give her that)
I am one of about 75,000 who actually own the Sweet 75 album (Krist Novoselic's post-Nirvana offering)
In college, I listened to the Benedictine Monks incessantly while studying
I really liked the Superheavy album
I skip Might As Well Get Juiced every time it comes on
Mick is not only my idol, but I also have had a man-crush on him at various points in his career.
That's about all that I can come up with at the moment. For me, music is such a personal thing - what moves one person isn't going to necessarily do the same for another. I appreciate all kinds of it, and I don't understand why there is so much hate out there for it. But then, I am a person who can talk civilly about politics without turning it into an argument. I also was able to recently do this with religion, and I had thought that that was the ONE topic where people really can't have a discussion!!!

I absolutely forgot this one: Back in 2003 for our one year anniversary I invited my wife to see Celine Dion in Las Vegas. I ABSOLUTELY hate Celine but I must say the show was really good.

I like the second Stone Roses album (middle 90s) much better than the so famous first (1989).
I don't dislike "Dirty Work" album. Not at all...
I like "A Bigger Bang" album. I suppose that have to be "confession", in this board...

Good grief, you two! Sit down put your heads between your knees and wait for this feeling to pass. If that doesn't work, try beer.

1970's KISS are one of the best rock bands ever. to release that many great albums of almost all original material in that short a span is amazing
