Going to have to start a poll about this.

Would be interesting. I’m pretty lame and don’t get out much, so I’d be surprised if I were the only one that saw this.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

586. Focus - Hocus Pocus

@Tom Skerritt included this in his instrumental thread.  I think that's cheating.

True,  yodeling counts as vocals.

 

[Binky The Doormat]

587. Jonatha Brooke - Crumbs

whoa ...pretty good, never heard of her

 

[shuke]

585. Solomon Burke - Fast Train

 

[Man of Constant Sorrow]

588. Primal Scream - Movin on Up

Where's Weezy?

 

[Man of Constant Sorrow]

587. Jonatha Brooke - Crumbs

I think I like this, but the audio mix seems to spiral in my head - could be engineering - could be my mushroom burger - not sure.

 

[Man of Constant Sorrow]

586. Focus - Hocus Pocus

I loved it there - and I love it here.

Really like the live version.

Only kind as fer as Imma concerned///

584. Edie Brickell & New Bohemians - What I Am

Not sure this holds up very well, but when this came out in '88, it just seemed so fresh and different at the time.

 

[shuke]

583. Vinegar Joe - Never Met A Dog

 

[Brony]

Pretty funny/cheesy old school video for this:

[Man of Constant Sorrow]

585. Solomon Burke - Fast Train

Holds up great fer me.

Paul Simon's wife...right?

She was always kinda crunchy & philosophical

 

[zamboni]

Mr. Drummond or the real one?

 

[Man of Constant Sorrow]

583. Vinegar Joe - Never Met A Dog

Neber met a dog, eh?

Well...here's one!

sorry shukes.

Seriously, I've always liked.

582. Dr. Dog - Worst Trip

Also considered: Army of Ancients

Just discovered these guys recently.  Right up my alley.

 

[Binky The Doormat]

583. Vinegar Joe - Never Met A Dog

really like it and never heard of the guy.

It's crazy how locked in that early 70s rock is.  I knew it had to be from that era as I heard the first few bars.  

ETA:  I don't think this song OR Vinegar Joe is on spotify ...

 

[shuke]

really like it and never heard of the guy.

It's not a guy.  It's a band.  Robert Palmer was in it for a stint.

 

[shuke]

581. Albert Hammond Jr. - Lost Touch

 

[shuke]

580. Monsters of Folk - His Master's Voice

I love Jim James.

 

[Galileo]

582. Dr. Dog - Worst Trip

Also considered: Army of Ancients

Just discovered these guys recently.  Right up my alley.

Never heard of this group or song.  Sort of reminded me of The Kinks up until around the 2:00 mark when it seemed the "trip" kicked in.

 

[shuke]

579. Aimee Mann - Goose Snow Cone

Goose snow cone?  What does this even mean?

 

[zamboni]

Goose snow cone?  What does this even mean?

Sounds like a scene from one of the old Faces of Death movies. 

 

[5-ish Finkle]

592. Beth Orton - Conceived

Some of the time the future comes right round to haunt me

New - nice voice - I like the bounce in it.

Piano is cool.

Beth Orton is awesome.  Used to have her in heavy rotation on my work mix in the mid Aughts.  Kind of lived and died with Brit rock/pop/hip hop/electronica in those days.

Really good.

saved.

I don't know enuff about these gals/guys.

Like the coffee too...

Chemical Brothers were a big part of that mix too.  Great, GREAT stuff from them. I could listen to Let Forever Be or Dig Your Own Hole on loop for hours.

 

[krista4]

579. Aimee Mann - Goose Snow Cone

Goose snow cone?  What does this even mean?

It was someone's dog named Goose who was in one of those cones of shame that they wear to prevent them from licking an incision or wound or whatever.

 

[Galileo]

Actually, it is a cat named Goose in the video...but yeah, the cone is the protective collar

Oh yeah, it was a cat.  How could *I* forget that?!?!  

 

[zamboni]

Should have been Anthony Edwards in a protective collar - they missed the boat.

 

[Galileo]

Speaking of boats, there is a boatload of music I have never heard before.

579. Aimee Mann - Goose Snow Cone

Goose snow cone?  What does this even mean?

well holy ####.  I like her music, but had no idea she was a part of Til Tuesday of "Voices Carry" fame.  

If you're not real familiar with her stuff - I also like "Save Me".  

I also think she is a pretty hot older lady.

584. Edie Brickell & New Bohemians - What I Am

Not sure this holds up very well, but when this came out in '88, it just seemed so fresh and different at the time.

I remember when this song was big there was an article in Spin magazine about Throwing Muses.  Somehow they were talking about Edie and this song.  One of them quoted the lyric “before I get too deep” and then said “I don’t think we have to worry about that”.

 

[McJose]

well holy ####.  I like her music, but had no idea she was a part of Til Tuesday of "Voices Carry" fame.  

OH COME ON

 

[Binky The Doormat]

584. Edie Brickell & New Bohemians - What I Am

yeah, this was really big - I still like it.  

 

[Binky The Doormat]

OH COME ON

didn't know much about her until I saw her show up on a Portlandia segment where she was a musician cleaning lady.

New to me.  Liked it a lot.

Same here - and agree on analysis, prof.

I liked it shuke.

Where'd All The Time Go? is just beautiful too.

580. Monsters of Folk - His Master's Voice

I love Jim James.

Yeah. This is really good.

Love these guys.

The Breeze, Shadow People,  The Rabbit the Bat & the Reindeer are some other favorites.

 

[Zegras11]

581. Albert Hammond Jr. - Lost Touch

Is this his dad?

 

[JaxBill]

This was produced/engineered/paid for by Todd Rundgren - and it ended up being the biggest payday of his life.  He later sold his rights/monies for a large chunk of money.  

Interesting story about the creation of the album. 

Having lived all around Ohio - I have never heard of this Meat Loaf line dance thing.  

Whoa. I was a huge Bruce fan and liked Bat Out of Hell.  Never saw it as a parody.

ETA - At the time I think I thought it was closer to Rocky Horror than anything else.

 

[Osaurus]

588. Primal Scream - Movin on Up

Good selection here.  

 

[Dr. Octopus]

593. Meat Loaf - Paradise By The Dashboard Light

Should be lower, but still a great song. 

Reminds me of a wedding my wife and I went to in Cleveland a number of years ago.  When this song came on at the reception, all the men and women between the ages of 20 and 50 rushed out to the dance floor, got in two facing lines with the men on one side and the women on the other and started singing the parts of this song.  My wife and I looked at each other like, "what in the #### is going on here".  I felt like I was in the Twilight Zone.  

Is this a Cleveland thing?  I've never seen anything similar at any other wedding I've ever been to.

I’ve been to many weddings and have never seen this.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Bars in my area (New York City region) going back several years. I thought it was a universal thing like “Sweet Caroline” but I guess not 

I’ve been to even more bars (in that area) than weddings and I’ve never seen this.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

584. Edie Brickell & New Bohemians - What I Am

Not sure this holds up very well, but when this came out in '88, it just seemed so fresh and different at the time.

 Did you already list this one or maybe it was in a one hit wonder thread? 

I loved the whole album at the time - their guitarist tuned to sound like Jerry. I hear this and Circle on the radio once in a while - I think it still holds up.

 

[WDIK2]

590. WAR - Why Can't We Be Friends

I was thinking I only know this song because of its use in Dazed and Confused, but I feel like I've heard it a million times.

My first exposure to this song.  Dickie Goodman - Mr Jaws

 

[pecorino]

Great NPR interview with Edie Brickell lately in which she talks about walking away from music to raise a family. She’s back with the band now, touring or releasing an album, I forget. The part where she talks about hitting it big so early and so quickly is worth a listen.
