Funky and really ahead of its time. Here is a remix that reimagines the song by incorporating the 80s soul/funk sensibility of Prince and others that didn't really exist in 1974. Stevie Wonder - Boogie On Reggae Woman 1974 (Luke the Knife Re-Rub) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGLHEkSqBxc

The Strifes - Sun Is Up Southampton UK Indie Rock band with a straight-ahead guitar banger. Edited to say, I have received some comments from friends that this has an Arctic Monkeys vibe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkPUq_UtGTQ&list=OLAK5uy_kC8r0un32RdXw7yHzHizqHrlOIFhHsBfc&index=1...

Not for Love Hurts, it wasn't, as they did not write the song, that was penned by Boudleaux Bryant, so they didn't get a penny from Nazareth's version The song had been written by Bryant for them and they recorded it, but per Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_Hurts

The Silver Spurs - Could've Had It All Australian Indie Rock, Funk Rock band but sounding here like something out of a Morricone Spaghetti Western or maybe what might be found on a Tarantino film soundtrack. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNFA4L9cNAY...

I don't hate The Smiths, if you are referring to me. I have posted several of their songs, plus Morrissey in his solo career on my Twitter timeline. I pointed out that while I was a big fan of theirs (in that thread) I had also noted that they were not that popular in the US (as was claimed)...

And an accurate one as Devo was hit or miss, with some brilliant tunes along with some absolute dreck and while I detest most of the disco hits, there is some good stuff mixed in with it (for example, Donna Summer's Hot Stuff with Jeff "Skunk" Baxter doing the guitar solo).
