The Police -- When the World Is Running Down, You Make the Best of What's Still Around

They're still available? Did we burn out on them in the worldwide countdown?

I took Petty early on and was hoping someone would steal and then I would have gone here.

I do have a question ...isn't there

Tom Petty

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

...right?
Click to expand...

sorry, poorly worded question - are we counting Tom Petty solo and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers as 2 separate artists?

So can someone take Prince and The Revolution? And if not, why not?
Click to expand...
Prince and the Revolution, and Prince and the New Power Generation have been taken.
If you can find another release with a different name, go for it.
This is the Elvis Costello rule. In the case of Prince most of his will go under P.
Plenty of his material still available under different names.

Tom Petty and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers are separate listings.

Easier to do ith this way than find another avenue with thousands of questions

The individual song release is all that matters. What is the artist name on it?

Tuffnutt has Gregory Alan Isakov for "I" and is missing "H" instead.

Hov34 has Hall & Oates for "H" and is missing "G" instead. Did he replace his "Q"?

I have some others that I missed, but I believe that my two corrections above are right.

Thank you. Both of yours are correct. Will edit my post. My piece of paper was misread lol

M - OMEGAH RED featuring MF DOOM and RZA - Books Of War

As with many things in the hip hop world, this has a muddled origin and muddled accreditation. The original instrumental is by Omegah Red, with verses thrown on it by a fan. The web site Medium says

"In 2015, a track surfaced named Books of War. On the track there’s a very minimal beat, accompanied by a haunting sample of some nearly psychedelic, electric guitar sounds from Ros Serey Sothea. This is where the mystery starts. Sothea was a Cambodian singer in the 70’s, during the rise of the Khmer Rouge. She was among a few artists who tried to incorporate Western music and styles into the traditional music scene. For example, she covered Proud Mary by Creedence Clearwater Revival with lyrics in Khmer. Sothea was known as “Queen with the Golden Voice”, a title given to her by the old King of Cambodia. But somewhere in the late 70’s she disappeared. As a result there are many stories as to what her fate might have been. One story holds that she was targeted by the Khmer Rouge because of her Western influences, others claim that she ended up in an agricultural camp and concealed her identity.

The lyrics, luckily, are less mysterious. The track consists of two verses, one from MF DOOM and one from RZA. First up is DOOM’s verse. As we can expect from the mad villain, he plays with his words and delivers complex, funny and clever patterns.

Coco butter on a very ashy day, fam
With Ray-Bans on the islands of Cayman
Or I’ll break it down for the layman
Bain de Soleil for the St Tropez… tan
A can of Old Gold, too cold to hold, slow ya roll.

Hardcore DOOM fans will have recognised this verse from It ain’t Nuttin’ off The Herbaliser’s 2002 album, Something Wicked this Way Comes.

Eventually, Books of War turned out to be a fan edit. The beat actually came from OMEGAH RED (aka PoisonFlowerz) who posted an instrumental album with the great title DOOM is for the Children. But who threw these verses onto the beat? Honestly, I haven’t been able to figure that out. As with a lot of things surrounding MF DOOM, perhaps the mystery is half the fun."
