Small roadtrip with OH starting tomorrow. I'm still going to be working all week, but with a water view instead. For the ride, I wanted to download some playlists we hadn't heard before. Suggestions? He said he'd like punk post-punk 80s-punk 80s-post-punk, etc. I would like whatever isn't saxophone, Taylor Swift, or that one with Carlos Santana.
ETA: I know he'd also love The Ego Meets The Dove, so I downloaded that one.

Try Faction or The Noble Eightfold Path or First Wave for OH. Probably not going to hit the deep cuts for his taste, but there is our idea of modern punk, classic punk, and new wave.
I recommend tracks 17-26 on Faction. I kind of dig that block of songs. I had a hand in some, so of course I do.
For you...Synthesizer Smorgasbord seemed to be one that people enjoyed. Depends on your mood, really.

You know, someone recommended this for the last road trip, yet I didn’t do it. Duh. Will do this time.
We did Noble Eightfold last time, and I loved it. There might be more on there now such that it could warrant a new listen. Faction is a perfect idea. First Wave for me.
Thanks to you both!

Round 501:
The Ego Meets the Dove
Here's my last regular set of 4. After a detour to the piano men this evening, I'll be bonusing a bunch of random stuff to close things out on this one. The theme of this one is CSN(Y) in the '90s.
A. Camera -- Crosby, Stills and Nash
Their work after Daylight Again and before After the Storm was overproduced and hasn't aged well. After the Storm, however, mostly saw them returning to their strengths. One of its highlights is this breezy tune written by Crosby and Stills and sung by Crosby.
B. No Tears Left -- Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young
I first encountered this Stills rocker at a 1997 CSN show; there, it sounded like something that wouldn't seem out of place on side 4 of the first Manassas record. By the time it was recorded for Looking Forward, it became more polished, but retained its quality.
C. Find a Dream -- Crosby, Stills and Nash
This Nash tune is another highlight of After the Storm.
D. Slowpoke -- Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young
Neil's involvement in what became Looking Forward was a surprise. It began as a CSN project, and one day Neil dropped in, liked what he was hearing and decided to participate. He had CSN add vocals to three songs he'd recorded for what would become Silver & Gold, of which this one is the best (the less said about his fourth song on the album, the better.) Slowpoke has compelling lyrics and a familiar arrangement -- on his 1999 solo tour and the 2000 CSNY tour, when Neil started the song, the audience thought it was about to hear Heart of Gold.

Round 502.xx
Category: Somebody Scream
Song(s): Hexagram/Needles and Pins
Artist: Deftones
A striking onslaught that begins their eponymous album, my favorite of theirs because of the opening trio of songs and that damn skull and roses cover. Beautiful. My favorite rock t-shirt is of a running pony colored in those roses.
And the crowd goes wild
And the camera makes you seasick
God it's so sweet of you and I know you're proud
As the car bomb hits quick click, faint smile - Hexagram
Tune out!
Everyone in the crowd, because now it's just me and you!
Come fall in love with the sound!
Make a pact to each other!
When no ones around
Put the cross between me and you!
Who wants to #### with us now? - Needles and Pins

LAST CSNY PICKS BEFORE THEY DECIDE THEY HATE EACH OTHER AND BREAK UP FOR GOOD -- OH WAIT, THAT ALREADY HAPPENED
On an Island -- David Gilmour
Crosby and Nash sang backup on this, and reprised that role when I saw Gilmour at Radio City Music Hall. They later came out to sing on Shine on You Crazy Diamond, Wish You Were Here and ... Find the Cost of Freedom. That was a hell of a way to spend my 35th birthday.
Hurry Up (Now Tell Me) -- Poco
As ilov80s mentioned, Poco (originally Pogo before legal threats by Walt Kelly) was the major post-Buffalo Springfield project by people not named Stills and Young. The debut album, whose title track ilov80s took, was very much in the Gram Parsons-inspired country rock mode. The second album, of which this is the first track, was something very different. And I don't think that would have been the case had the first CSN album not come out in between. It tries to incorporate both the sounds of the first album and the kind of psychedelic folk-pop that the kids had gone gaga over on the CSN debut. This track sounds like it could have been plucked from those sessions, down to Rusty Young messing with speakers to make his steel guitar sound like an organ.
Song With No Words (Tree with No Leaves) -- David Crosby
We never saw them on CSN(Y) records, but on his solo albums and duo albums with Nash, Crosby had a penchant for recording wordless songs of pure harmony. His highly atmospheric first solo album had three of them, of which this is the best.
And So It Goes -- Graham Nash
Nash's 1974 solo album Wild Tales was the first release by any of CSNY not to chart since they became a "band". And it's not hard to see why, overall it's meh. But it has a few highlights, including this one with a memorable melody and chorus (it was stuck in my head earlier today).
Critical Mass / Wind on the Water -- Crosby & Nash
The closer of the best Crosby & Nash album pairs a wordless Crosby offering almost Gregorian in nature with a chilling Nash ballad about the evils of whale hunting. It's a lot better than it sounds on paper. And it was apparently in the mix for the 1974 CSNY reunion album that never happened.
Both of Us (Bound to Lose) -- Stephen Stills/Manassas
Another of the many highlights of the first Manassas album is this duet between Stills and Chris Hillman that closed side 1. Its compelling medley, breezy harmonies and soaring guitars offer the best of what the country-rock movement had to give up to that point.
Go Back Home -- Stephen Stills
I mentioned earlier that Stills was at the height of his powers in 1970 and could have gotten anyone to play on his first solo album. On the latter half of side 1, he followed his collaboration with Jimi Hendrix with this collaboration with Eric Clapton, offering up plenty of blues guitar fireworks.
100 Year Thing -- Chris Stills
The 1998 debut album by Stills' son Chris is full of good songs, many of which could have fit into the PopRocks niche with better marketing. On this, the title track, he sounds eerily like his father.
Human Highway -- Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Neil tried really hard to make this a CSNY song, but it didn't happen (officially). CSNY's first summit after their breakup was an informal session in Hawaii in June 1973. They worked up six songs, including this tune Neil brought to them. The others loved it so much that, then and there, they decided it would be the title track of their reunion album. (They even took a cover photo at the time, which is the photo for this playlist.) The link is to that version, which was released for the first time last year on Neil's Archives Vol. 2. Formal sessions to make the album after the 1974 reunion tour fell apart quickly, but Neil sat on it until working with them again was in the cards. That opportunity came in 1976, when he and Stills started making an album and decided to invite Crosby and Nash to the sessions. They worked up another version of Human Highway, also released for the first time on Archives Vol. 2. But those sessions also fell apart, and by 1978 Neil had given up on playing with CSN again, and released a twangy version without them on Comes a Time. But IMO the CSNY versions are much better. Neil didn't play with CSN again until 1988's American Dream, which is mostly terrible and which only exists because Neil promised Crosby that he would agree to a CSNY reunion if Crosby got clean.
On the Beach (live) -- Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
CSN hated the On the Beach album (it was too much of a downer, man) and were perturbed that Neil released it during their 1974 tour and asked them to play some of its songs. But the CSNY 1974 release, which is not on Spotify, shows that they played the hell out of them nonetheless. Neil hated the tour at the time, and still hates it today, and included very little from it on Archives Vol. 2. But he made an exception for this blistering version of OTB's title track, which features some stunning guitar work from Stills.
Southern Man (live) -- Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
The two extended jams on the electric disc of Four Way Street are for my money some of the most exhilarating rock and roll improvisations ever captured on tape. I took one, Carry On, for Comes Alive, so I'll take the other one here. THIS is why Neil wanted to do the CSNY thing, as much as he hated other aspects of it.
