Well, today and so close to the weekend. I wanted to make a somewhat different post that strays a bit from the main topic that most of the people around here seem to be posting all the time.
Yeah, I suppose this will be a light and attractive topic that will probably invite you to participate for the pure sake of interaction and engagement to stir up heaps of good memories through fun & healthy entertainment.
Okay, here's the thing:
I know that most of you who make life here on this blockchain, are basically a string of youngsters who probably did not have the opportunity to live the experiences that I am going to talk about next and of which now I invite you to participate.
But that's all fine. Not for being a youngster you are at all disqualified to share your unique experiences here too. Perhaps it is only me the one who is unaware of the modern variants of the musical experiences that I am going to narrate below.
The initiative in today's post only has the intention and purpose of refloat your best memories to the surface of your consciousness and draw a wide big smile from ear to ear in your lovely face. An adorable musical journey of conquer and delight.
Since I am indeed that old, let me first describe what the experiences of this whole initiative are about. "Dancing voluptuously onto a little brick" classic rock songs.
Yeah! I remember in my old good days when I also were a handsome and horny youngster that when being in one of those spontaneous parties that in those good times suddenly out of the blue appeared everywhere and we used to organize these mainly in our own homes or on friend's homes.
There was almost always one, two, three, four or just a handful of hot girls in the neighborhood that everyone wanted to conquer. And then, once, when one of these spontaneous parties occurred, everyone was always quick to invite them. Obviously, to put our luck and incomparable manly charms to test once again against the tough competition from our peers. Sexy girls have always been a highly prized trophy. };)
On the other hand, there were also those cute girls who, although they were not the sexiest and most desirable in the neighborhood, they were also the target of some secret crush of a few of our friends. And evidently, that they were also invited to the party. Only, that a bit more furtively and without all the fuss from stakeholders with high hopes that they would turn up to the party too for their exclusive interests
Well, alright! to make a long story short. Now let me get to the point.
As many of you know (or remember) in those spontaneous domestic parties of that time, there used to be no DJs, nor did we have mixers or CD equipment, CDs or MP3 players to launch and start the rumba. We only had the good Ol' phonographs and if we were lucky, maybe a turntable with a decent amp and a pair of average speakers.
To achieve the resounding success of the party, each one of us simply contributed and collaborated by bringing a good selection of the best rock albums and LP vinyl records of our private collection to the friend's house where the party was to be held. And who was often the one who would be in charge of performing the defiant DJ duties since it was about his own audio gear or that of their parents.
But as this also required having a broad knowledge of music, not all these friends were able to exercise impeccably this improvised DJ function. Despite having the space to launch the party and being our host on duty.
A good bunch of our gang who were specialists and almost always in charge of decorating quickly the place with a ton of colored lights (specially black or purple lights) very common, claimed and popular in my time. They skills usually gave it the technical and final touch to the improvised dancing floor.
Oh! the improvised dancing floor. The transitory territory of battle, invasion and conquest in which only the fittest and most daring were going to try once more to get hold of the most valuable loot. The hottest chicks at the party. Mwahahaha };)
I have to admit that at that time, hot chicks, regular girls and coy ladies, all of them were equally at a bit of disadvantage before us men in our savage and brazen plans of conquest. Since at the time, they usually always had to wait for someone invite them and take them out to dance. But don't think they were completely helpless.
Most of them possessed weapons much more powerful and effective than us and used them in more lethal and deadly ways than any of us men had ever used.
Girls! girls, girls, girls. The always fragile, innocent and defenseless girls. Tsk Tsk.
Once the music, the lights and the decoration of the place were resolved. Alcoholic and spiritual drinks were just a piece of cake to get and then deploy and serve the battlefield splendidly well until sunrise.
Since that only required making a quick money collect between all of us. Buy the booze and spilling the contents of all the liquor bottles, whatever each liquor was, all mixed together in a large kettle to which we also added pieces of fruit of all kinds. And then, that way inventing an authentic liquid bomb elixir from whose unexpected sensuality almost no one would escape unscathed in the morning. Yeah, those were good and healthy times. Believe it or not.
But ok, ok, don't push me because I fall alone. It's just that I get excited to remember all this stuff hahaha. Let's get right away to the point. Yeah the 'initiative' remember?
The point is that at that time we used to dance together embraced tightly body to body. Feeling closely each other our breath, our sweat, our most imperceptible tremors and movements. And patently and palpably our most inconfesable passions and deep desires. We both just needed to have enough time to perceive it in all its dimension and magnitude. Usually dancing voluptuously onto a mere little brick.
And it is right here where the music comes in. Well, in this case the slower and mellow ones. The legendary songs and classic Rock & Roll jewels that the longer, more mellow and seductive and memorable, the better for our sole purpose which too often was to polish the belt buckle well to get the brightest shine of the glows on it. And for that, we knew that we had to move way voluptuously just as slowly to the same cadence of the music in a seductive way in the minimum space of just a small brick to be able to catch all the favorable signals.
Yes, because at that time there were slow songs that were among the most famous and memorable in Rock & Roll. And yes, they were to be danced tightly together. Embraced body to body as in an attempt to melt each other in just one shiny entity.
And last but not least. I do not want to miss the opportunity to also remember and mention here what is perhaps the most relevant in this post. The fact that we all surely have our all-time favorite songs for these ancient purposes and many other contemporary unspeakable purposes too.
And I bet most of us certainly own and conserve all the original CDs or LP albums in vinyl of all of these legendary bands and favorite songs currently in our collection.
I for one have a heap. Even, in many cases, the very same old vinyl that I took with me to all those old domestic parties that I have told you about before. LP Records that I always carried with me to these parties not only because they were the ones that had my favorite songs, but also because I knew they were the longest and most effective for my infallible conquest plans. "The Memorables"
And although I certainly have hundreds of them that are my favorites for this sort of conquest purposes. Literally hundreds or thousands of favorites that bring back unforgettable memories of the good times when we were young. I'm only going to share a handful of them below.
Yep, certainly not the most popular and well known. As for instance, The Beatles Here Comes The Sun or The Who See me Feel me or the always omnipresent Led Zeppelin Stairway To Heaven among thousands of many others that also bring me back unique and fabulous memories. Unforgettable memories and experiences that will accompany us all our lives.
Those are precisely the ones that I would like you to share with all of us as well.
I'm going to share here only five. But I would hope and aspire that you at least share at least three. Could be less than three. But... ¡Come on! Are you going to try to convince us that you've been to so few conquest parties? I don't believe you! :)
Alright! I will go first.
In some sort of chronological order....
"Battlefield One"
"Battlefield Two"
"Battlefield Three"
"Battlefield Four"
"Battlefield Five"
"Battlefield Six"
Yeah I cheated. I've shared six and not solely a handful as I said above. But what could you expect from someone who conserve thousands of these unforgettable songs in his memory as immutable vehicles that transport you to many of your best experiences in life? These above are just a very tiny sample of many of them.
And yes. I have cheated, just to inspire and motivate you to do it too and not share only three or four or five or six of your own favorites. But so that you share with us all the amazing songs that you wish and want to share with us which bring you great and unforgettable memories and you reckon we should know about. :)

Haha... I AM old enough to have received my very first VIYNL RECORD for my 16th birthday - Billy Joel's, the Stranger. Gonna be mighty cross if I find myself hhumming Italian Restaurant for the remainder of the weekend! 😆
The two songs I remember (quite clearly) being CONQUESTED to... haha...
and
🤣🤣🤣
You realize I'm now gonna have to trawl the internet for HOURS to find out what happened to that guy? Last I knew - EONS AGO - he had a fling with one of my best friends and ran away to study in Barcelona.
haha. LOL. Thanks for the fun and the memories.
Oh yeah hahaha, there is no question that"Stairway To Heaven" has always been regarded as the main background anthem and marching war band of most conquests (or massacres) on the dance floor battlefield in our good old days. eh? @artemislives? :D
Over here another less known cool version that prolly you didn't know yet. :)
Oh yeah, and as for that other one when you were CONQUESTED. I remember when Jim Croce was in fashion and his song played a lot on the radio in the early 70's. Also used to be played a lot on radio other popular song from another missing band that if you watch the video below, you will also remember the general feeling that many felt at dawn after the fierce fight on the battlefield all night long of those wonderful days. :)
this post is hot and hot not just in the moist way but hot in the intelligent way, As a WomYn with refined tastes galore I feel that you using the moist and smart BSB tag puts your blogging into an elite squadron of only the best and most amazing bloggers in the Universe.
Please wield this power wisely ;)
Gandalf in a Hello Kitty outfit made my grumpy as all fuck morning lifted by the sheer wordsmithery of your clearly superior blogging skills
others should take note
.
:)
Oh babe! Now you have made me blush. Which is actually a true feat that my blush can be seen in the thick old crocodile skin on my face. Centuries have passed since the last time anyone has praised my sheer wordsmithery and blogger skills. Thanks a lot for that. Very well appreciated. :)
Oh! of course. I hear you! But sometimes I just can't help it, and it gets out of hand. Hahahaha
Oh! I'm very glad that my jugglery with words and my musical sleight of hands with songs have been able to transform a grumpy morning into just a cranky pinkish one.
Now let's see if this memorable next also do & spell the magic. :)
Yep! that's what I, me, myself and the one inhabiting in my head tell me all the time. LoL
Damn, I wish I could give you more than a few bugs!
While reading I was wondering all the time: This must have been your teenager years. How the hell did you all manage to get the parents away for these parties to happen? Maybe easier than I can think of, but my teenage years I was living together with a whole bunch of other children/teenagers in a large building and we (almost) never had the chance to get a place to throw some sort of party. Always some grown ups around to not let us indulge in this way. Ok ok, my upbringing is less from standard, since my parents had a very mobile job, I spend most of my upbringing in boarding schools for the mere fact that I had to attend school and home schooling was not allowed. Anyways, since those days, I did my fair share of dancing, and unlike many, with a handful of decades on the clock, I'm still finding myself on dance floors on a regular bases (up to Covid times and looking very much forward to the end of all lockdown and semi-lockdown rules) so I can pick up the habit to enjoy music through big speaker systems, at some cozy outdoor festival with likeminded.
Lately I'm hardly blogging and when I share something, its mostly not about music, or music itself. But your post brings some positive vibes in my veins again to share some of my favourite albums and tunes. Love the tracks you shared. Not being a typical rock fan, the earlier times of rock is something I can relate to much more than the rock of the 80s, 90s and beyond.
Oh yes, these sweet sudden dancing 'covens' happened in my teenager years indeed. :)
How the hell did you all manage to get the parents away for these parties to happen?
Haha well, actually no need to get the parents away. Since they all knew that we all were just a bunch of horny but young saints. LoL
Many parents, perhaps the most reckless and avant-garde, sometimes even joined us on the dance floor too. };)
And yes, I can understand very well your own experiences. Since you seems a lot younger than me and no doubt these modern times are very, very different from those in the 60s & 70s.
I suspect that from the 80s onwards, the possibility of going to the attack in search of conquests, more than anything else, used to happen outside our homes. Mainly in discos, clubs, clandestine parties in some nightclubs, raves and many outdoor festivals as it is still the case today.
That's why I feel that these ordinary domestic parties in our own homes were so unique and memorable nowadays. When every horny youngster of that time actually had the chance to rub their humanity against that cute chick at the cadence of slow and mellow songs all night long until the conquest has been crystalized.
Oh! sorry to hear about that my friend. I know you are an authentic music lover. And I'm very glad to know that my post has had a somewhat positive effect on you to encourage you to retake the interest in share some of your favourite albums and tunes too. :)
Haha, I love that you liked them. And yes, that's true that most of the bewitching magic, feelings & soul of those legendary slow songs to dance on a little brick from the 60s and 70s, somewhat, most of them has been little by little vanishing from the party scene in these current days. ;)
Now, just take this one to steal you a heap of unstoppable goosebumps!! Hahahaha
WOOHOO the Joe Cocker one is classic! I know this more from his performances when he was a little older. One thing strikes me so much, is his voice. Never thought about someones voice doesn't change that much anymore from early adult live to end of life. Hence, listen to the version you shared, I though: Damn, he had that voice on a young age as well! Hahahaha :) I may never seen his young face; While writing this comment and listening, I have a picture of an older Joe Cocker behind my eyes :) Must say, the end of the younger version becomes a little to massive at the end, he took a more relax approach later in his career which I like better, I think. That said, I don't listen to the early days rock too much last decade or so, and may have to get accustomed to the sound again.
Those parties you talked about, we had them sometimes, in school and at friends houses and even in the boarding schools I was. But not more than a few times a year. No adults though :) Yea, more clubs... well Discotheques, back in the 80s when I had my teenage years. Those places where the dance floor was usually kinda empty with all the youngsters standing around the floor because many didn't dare to dance in front of everybodies eyes. Todays (dance) club experience is totally something else. The floor is where the people are, and the sides are more or less empty. With a 5 in my age, I must say, I'm more hanging out at or behind the DJ booth, or backstage, rather then the dance floor, but when enough space is available, and the music is great, I go old school rave style still on the floor :)
Interestingly, the music I like the most to dance to (some of the underground styles of Techno), is music that was initially loved by all those who in the old days would not go the Discotheques, or when they did, they would never hit the dance floor since they would not feel comfortable in doing so. The nerd type so to speak. I'm so happy many of this 'category' people now found their ways to participate in enjoying music together! The early days of Techno (born in Detroit in the early 80s) the artists were nerds, mostly, I suppose because of all technology used. One needed to be a nerd to learn all about all these drum machines, C64, Atari computers and all and how to get music out of them. (ps don't get me wrong, when I mentioned 'nerd', I mean it in a good way; I love nerds and maybe in some way I'm one myself :)
Your post did started me posting a few again through my main account. No music yet, but that'll come sometime down the road :)
I'm even contemplating to try and revive the Q community again. Your (music) posts would perfectly fit :)
