I just heard this song for the first time in forever and first thing I thought was if this guy was in the countdown. No dice. Was omission on purpose?

George Thorogood & The Destroyers - One Bourbon, One Scotch , One Beer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISmgOrhELXs

Damn! Too little love for George in here.

I saw him live in Louisville in the late 80's or early 90's. I was not a big fan going in - but I liked him enough to buy the tickets. 

It was a small venue - an old Victorian theater. We had seats around 5th - 7th row ... best I can figure. 

Well, he brought the house down. I was amazed at how much sound he could make. Yeah - that sounds dumb, but he just put the music out like it was a raging river. I got swept away and have been a bigger fan ever since.

George Thorogood - I Didn't Know

Now this is a song with a message ... but we'll never know.

Now this is a song with a message


I didn't know

I didn't know

You gotta know
You gotta know
You gotta know
You gotta know
But I found out
What it's all about

And I still don't know

You never know
You never know
You never know
You never know
I thought I knew
Just what to do

And I'll never know

How could I know?

I'm hear to say
Til my dyin' day

I really don't know

Next time I'll know
Which way to go
Next time I'll know (yeah, sure)
Next time I'll know
Some do it right
They do it all night

And they still don't know

I didn't know
I didn't know!

As you can see, I really like Deap Vally. I have another garage type band to spotlight that feels kind of similar - in my opinion. The Black Belles were found by Jack White and are signed to his Third Man Records label. I really like the bass and thump.

The Black Belles

What Can I Do?

Pushing Up Daisies

 
Arapaho of nothing...but if you need to be baked like grandma’s apple pie to dig a band/song you might want to take a step back.

see: me and Jane’s Addiction circle 1989

I remember someone bringing up Madonna.  Was this ever discussed?  Pretty big catalog to reject every last one of them.  

I don't have any of her albums, but there's some pretty decent stuff floating around.  

Also, how about Melanie's "Lay Down/Candles in the Rain"?

shuke, with both Billy Bragg and Wilco having done well in your rankings, was the omission of any Wilco/Billy Bragg song from either Mermaid Avenue record an oversight, or did those not move the shuke-ometer?

I kinda love every song on the first album, but if pressed I'd choose California Stars as my favorite Wilco-focused one and Walt Whitman's Niece as my favorite Bragg-focused one.

I think in my mind I just assumed those to be Wilco songs.  Looks like I have a loophole to add another song!

 
Whoa. I've been away from this thread for a long time. You did the 1k and added a play list. Nice! Perfect timing to give my ears something to listen to as I go back to work tomorrow after a couple week plus vacation hiatus. 

 
1008. Billy Bragg & Wilco - California Stars

@krista4 was nice enough to point out that while I had both Bragg and Wilco on my list, I had forgotten about this collaboration.

From wiki: Mermaid Avenue is a 1998 album of previously unheard lyrics written by American folk singer Woody Guthrie, put to music written and performed by British singer Billy Bragg and the American band Wilco.

Love it so hard!  This one is probably my favorite, though I vacillate.

I still have other suggestions/queries for you, but I didn't want to inundate.  Also I'm lazy.

 
Alrighty.

My listen begins.

I will be doing a proper order play - no shuffle here. 

My goal: no other spotify playing until I complete the full list.

Wish me luck in my endeavor.

 
GM mentioned a couple of these in his thread and they made me think of a couple more songs maybe you should dig.. thread died before I thought to post em

If you like Spacehog  you may enjoy this track by Mansun

If you like Greg Kihn how about Billy Squier's My Kinda Lover, I know he's usually a joke but this one slays

I am currently up to - eh ... down to? ... 

741.   Willie Nelson - On the Road Again

One quarter of the way through.

So far, it has been a great listen. I have only "fast forwarded" one song to date: Joy Division - Disorder - #795.

It was late; I was stoned; It irritated me ... I like Wille.

 
I thought that I was getting close ... but ...

I just hit:

78. Iron Butterfly - In a Gadda da Vida

... and discovered that it is the "full length" version.

That may add a week to my listen ... but no worries; great listen.

 
Alrighty, alrighty, alrighty!

I am listening to #1 right now ... Eyes of the World.

This has been a great experience, and I am now even more amazed that you completed this shuke. 

I did not crack the Shuke Code - but, I did find a nice merit badge set for your accomplishment.

I made these in 2000 or so:

The Bear

Walking with the Bear

Shuke indeed, Walks with the Bear. 🐻🚶‍♂️
