[Mister CIA]

535. Mondo Cozmo - Plastic Soul

This song blew my mind: Hey Steven

 

[krista4]

539. Robert Johnson - Sweet Home Chicago

I "loved" this for Robert Johnson, but I despise this song.  Maybe it's the 18 years in Chicago blues bars.  Intolerable.  The only version I ever liked was from Valerie Wellington, but I can't find a version online from her.  Instead here she is doing Down in the Dumps.  I loved her so much, RIP.

This one too: Shine

 

[Man of Constant Sorrow]

Omg omg, figured this was as good as any place to put this.   Out at dinner and this band started with this song.  They actually sounded fantastic; better than this clip would suggest.  @Man of Constant Sorrow.

OMG, K! 

This is F'n awesome! 

I am listening to it now, as I am just getting home - from one of the most f'n days evah! 

However, I seem to have lost my house-keys. 

Thus, I'm listening ta this now, trying to figure, the best way to break into my own house. 

All advive welcome. 

 

[Man of Constant Sorrow]

Update: I found my dope, but not my key. 

Still exploxing options. 

Better mood tho. 

 

[Man of Constant Sorrow]

Oh thanks God - just found key. 

Gonna go inside and get stoned. 

Thnx fer help. 

 

[Man of Constant Sorrow]

All true - no sktick. 

 

[shuke]

This song blew my mind: Hey Steven

Don’t think I’ve heard that.  Pretty good.  

 

[Osaurus]

570. They Might Be Giants - The Statue Got Me High

Was tough to pick a song for these guys, because a lot of them sound the same to me.  Wife and I used to love them, but I can only take them in small doses anymore.  

Also considered: Spider

One of the best live bands I have ever seen.  Love the Johns 

544. Slowdive - Sugar for the Pill

Very good band and a bit obscure.  Solid choice.

537. Sugar - A Good Idea

All you need now is a Bob Mould song. All the incarnations of Husker Du are awesome.

And   at Sunny Day Real Estate

 

[WDIK2]

559. Green Day - Wake Me Up When September Ends

Billie Joe Armstrong kind of gets on my nerves and I'm not too crazy about this voice, so I don't like much of their catalog, but it really works for this song.

Also considered: Brain Stew/Jaded

I showed this pick for Green Day to my daughter and she said, "oh no."  I understand this song is meaningful to BJA, but we usually skip it.  I know it's because of radio airplay, but it makes me a little sad that this is one of the first songs people think of when they think of Green Day.  IMO

I like a lot of Green Day but they annoy me some.  Not sure why.  Maybe the vocals?   

I still enjoy American Idiot and still like Holiday the most from it.   As another poster mentioned, September Ends is a well-crafted song.  That could be said about the whole album.   

If I had to choose my favorite song by GD, it would be from Dookie.   It contains a handful of fantastic,, fun songs that are Green Day.

555. Modern English - I Melt With You

A lot of memories associated with this, as it always seemed to be a big hit at our high school dances.

Great selection here.  And yes, lots of memories tied to this song.  

 

[DocHolliday]

551. Pet Shop Boys - West End Girls

I remember I  taped this off the radio on a mixed tape.  I'm not sure why I remember this, but I wrote "Western Girls" on the cover.

Another great selection with a lot of memories tied to the song.  

 

[Dr. Octopus]

557. Jake Bugg - Lightning Bolt

I just drafted this in the Post-2000 Genrepaloza.

 

[rockaction]

549. Sunny Day Real Estate - Pillars

No idea who this is.

Oh yeah. I'd have gone "Seven" or "In Circles," but I love this band. 

 

[Rove!]

543. Zephyr - Sail On

Candy Givens is like Janis but with a better voice.

Not to mention the guitar work of Tommy BolIn...

 

[zamboni]

543. Zephyr - Sail On

Candy Givens is like Janis but with a better voice.

Damn - great pick. I’ve said the same thing forever about Candy vis-a-vis Janis.

The great Tommy Bolin was in this short lived band during his short life.

 

[Man of Constant Sorrow]

Gah. 

Got woke up early by stranger in my own living room. 

Turns out, some fool rented my house out and forgot to tell me. 

Luckily, no one was injured. 

Back at parents now. 

Feet are waaaaay too sore for Derby hijinks today. 

Gonna relax & listen to some music - after I sleep some more. 

Nice work shuke... 

 

[Man of Constant Sorrow]

Now I understand why I didn't have my key. 

I can't tell ya where I got my backup from - it's a hidden secret. 

I think I broke the frog though - dang - good times. 

 

[Mr. Mojo]

551. Pet Shop Boys - West End Girls

I remember I  taped this off the radio on a mixed tape.  I'm not sure why I remember this, but I wrote "Western Girls" on the cover.

I would have agreed until I heard Love Comes Quickly and then wondered why it never got much airplay.

Your life and my life are very different.  Pretty sure that my life would bore you to sleep in less than 20 minutes.

Dude, mang. PM to be sent.

 

[Man of Constant Sorrow]

Dude, mang. PM to be sent.

Thanks a whole lot, rock. 

I think that I should now come clean, for my friends' peace of mind.

This was shtick. I am good. 

I did not have issues, BUT, I did have an amazing and awesome day, with old friends that I have not seen in years. 

I danced - even with my drop foot - and walked from 10 am to 1 am, so my feet really are hurting. 

No Derby, but it's been too wild for me since '93.

All good - need some sleep tho. 

Sorry if shtick was too much. 

It happens...

 

[Binky The Doormat]

564. Chris Isaak - Baby Did A Bad Thing

Of course Chris's greatest achievement is his role in Fire Walk With Me, but this song is pretty good, too.

man, we love Chris Isaak here at the Binky household.  Lots of great stuff to pick from.  

For those less familiar, check out his first album, Heart Shaped World

 

[Binky The Doormat]

556. Scandal - Goodbye To You

are they a one hit wonder?  this is a great song.

556. Scandal - Goodbye To You

Used to really like this song until they played it on Beavis and Butthead and now when I hear it, I 

 

[Binky The Doormat]

538. The Monkees - Me and Magdalena

Not sure if this is cheating, since this is from 2016.  I used to love that show as a kid, but the music from the original era doesn't do much for me.

oh man, oh man ...

Pleasant Valley Sunday

I'm Not Your Steppin' Stone

Valleri

Daydream Believer

I'm A Believer

Last Train to Clarksville

 

[Binky The Doormat]

BTW Gene at Audio Plus can still bite my bag for selling  the 8-inch woofers I had on layaway to some other goon.  I was NOT 3 weeks behind in payments.  Damn liar.

this all sounds like a summer drive-in movie plot.  

 

[Binky The Doormat]

547. Leftover Salmon - Astral Traveler

Jam band alert.  But you couldn't tell from this song.  It's awesome.

holy #### - this is great.  Added.

Pretty weird, but this song sounds a helluva lot like Ambrosia.  

do they have any other non-jam band singles?  

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Us also - “Forever Blue” used to be our soundtrack to Saturday Night steak dinners with wine and sometimes sexy time.

good call, we often use Bryan Ferry's "Taxi" for that time as well.

I know it's not the original, but I have a soft spot in my heart for Plant's voice.

533. Mason Williams - Classical Gas

 

[shuke]

532. Sleater-Kinney - Jumpers

531. Ramones - Blitzkrieg Bop

It was years after seeing Vacation as a kid that I finally figured out what this song was.

Jon Bon Jovi, who played with the band  for a bit, on guitar there.
