[shuke]

808. Ace Frehley - New York Groove

Originally had Hello slotted here with their original but Ace's version is so much better.

 

[Man of Constant Sorrow]

811. Plumtree - Go!

Make sure you listen to the whole thing.  Which you should be doing for all these songs anyway.

Like it much, but I may have chosen this version.

Regardless - good ####'n ####!

I'm still curating my list of three songs.   Going to smoke a J and submit later tonight.

OH YEAH!!!

This takes me back. As soon as these solo albums were released, I had to have all of them...eventually. Ace's came 3rd - after Gene & Paul. Alas, I never got poor-pecker Peter's - so sad.

Anyways - I recall puttin' on all the make-up - grabbin' my pop's tennis racket for a guitar - and add'n some '70's platform shoes to top it off.

Then I ran the hood verbally KISS'n anyone within ear shot.

I know - no one will believe me - but, I really liked freakin' the neighbors out. I was good at.

Good times!!

807. 5th Dimension, The - Age of Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In

 

[shuke]

806. Starbuck - Moonlight Feels Right

I know what you're thinking, WTF is this?  I don't think I ever  heard this until a year ago when it popped up on some Spotify playlist I was listening to.

Best Youtube comment: Blackman looks like a cross between Burt Reynolds and Gallagher.

 

[shuke]

805. New Riders of the Purple Sage - Garden of Eden

 

[shuke]

804. Richard Hell and the Voidoids - Blank Generation

Should be way higher.

Example #4 of the #### fest of music that was my high school times - though apparently, this didn't hit big until I was just off to college.

[Nipsey]

801. Go-Go's - Our Lips Are Sealed

807. 5th Dimension, The - Age of Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In

Great tune - monster bass work by Joe Osborn as well as a bunch of other Wrecking Crewers.

 

[rockaction]

799. X - Around My Heart

Nice that X made it, but We're Desperate, Los Angeles (NSFW for racially-charged language), or Johnny Hit and Run Paulene would have been my final three songs to pick from. 

Desperate and Johnny culled from Decline Of Western Civilization, a documentary directed by Penelope Spheeris.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

808. Ace Frehley - New York Groove

Originally had Hello slotted here with their original but Ace's version is so much better.

His became the more iconic version as well.

I like this song better from his KISS solo album (but get why you'd go with NYG): What's On Your Mind

 

[Dr. Octopus]

I never got poor-pecker Peter's - so sad.

I think his was the second best, after Ace's. This is a great song from it: I Can't Stop the Rain

 

[Man of Constant Sorrow]

I think his was the second best. This is a great song from it: I Can't Stop the Rain

That's beterr than Beth. 

I'll have to listen to the rest of the album now. 

Thnx.

 

[Brony]

Anyone remember this cover by Fun Boy Three? Love the backing vocals and bongos. I find it super calming.

Our Lips are Sealed was written by Jane Wiedlin of the GoGos and one of the dudes from Fun Boy Three.  Go-Gos did it first and then Fun Boy Three did their version, so still a cover I guess, but they co-wrote it. 

If you listen to the acoustic version by Jane Wiedlin  it strips up the other stuff and the song holds up even better - the hallmark of a great tune and deserved of a top 800 spot. 

 

[Osaurus]

795. Joy Division - Disorder

Also considered: Transmission

My favorite band.

 

[Man of Constant Sorrow]

I like this also. 

My 2 fav Ace songs from KISS are:

Hard Times

...and:

Shock Me - Alive II version

I spun those records till the grooves melted away. 

Thnx for the memories, as I have not listened to these since the 80's.

809. Jeff Beck - Freeway Jam

Also considered: Beck's Bolero

My hot take for the day:  Jeff Beck is the second best guitarist ever, second only to Jimi.  How many guitar players did this guy inspire?

I'll only drop two songs here:  I Ain't Superstitious ...Maybe you're saving this song for your Rod Stewart pick.

Jeff's Boogie

 

[Mister CIA]

800. REO Speedwagon - Ridin' The Storm Out

I like this version with Mike Murphy on vocals much more than the live version with Kevin Cronin on vocals that inundates classic rock radio.

I cannot believe this band created this song.

Edit:  I've never watched this live performance before today.  It's a lock I won't see anything better and/or funnier for months to come.  Those pink pants!  Is he sporting tighty-whities under pink pants?

oh hell ya

 

[Binky The Doormat]

Need a whole lot more of that and Ridin' the Storm out - and a lot less "Keep On Lovin' You" dreck. 

Kevin Cronin killed this band, unless you like Hair Power Ballads.

Jeff's Boogie

You already know that Jimi is my #1 everything - Jeff - while not my #2, is still a 1st round pick for me. 

Nice links.

I'd like to play in your three-team league!

Kevin Cronin is such a great showman here...157 Riverside Avenue was always a highlight of the live shows....
