Janis Joplin

What is your favorite Janis song?

 

Right now its her cover of Buffy St Maries Codine, or Big Bros Lets Dont Quit

tomorrow it may be something else - I can never have just one!

 

Me and Bobby McGee, got it on my MP3

 

Piece of My Heart

 

piece ofmy heart and down on me

 

Kozmic Blues, Piece of my Heart, Combination of the Two

 

Me and my Bobby McGee

 

Is it me or is there a Janis Joplin thread like this every day?

 

^It's more or less not you...

 

seems like everyday at least... but im gonna say roadblock... and it has nothing to do with janis, big bro played some awesome grooves

 

peice of my heart

 

Oh yeah Roadblock is one of the best!

Today I am gonna say Blindman or All Is Loneliness for my faves.

 

Leaving on a Jet Plane and Piece of my heart

 

hate to have to tell ya, Janis didnt do Leavin on a Jet Plane.

 

'I Need A Man To Love' by her and Big Brother. Outstanding vocal performance with some groovy playing from the BB lads to back her.

 

Ball and Chain

Piece of My Heart
Maybe
Cry Baby....

are all classic tracks that I love, but 'Little Girl Blue' is just so beautiful, and you can feel she knows just what this song is all about.

 

I Need A Man To Love is a pretty amazing Janis tune

 

Either Me and "Bobby McGee" or "Down on Me".

 

and catch me daddy... crazy far out tune...

 

Theres always Harry!

Dont forget Easy Rider, Ive been enjoying peter albins drug lyrics on the live version. And to hear Janis telling the world "dont you deny my name" has always been one of my fave lyrics from her. She says it lighthearted, but I imagine she really meant it!
