The very first sound you hear on this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdSWaYRexeU

"So I applied, basically. I tried out for the team."

Nice.

She's in a competition to perform on the "Experience Hendrix Tour 2014." But in order to get a spot on the tour, she needs people to vote for her. VOTE HERE While we will all miss her if she goes off on tour for a while, it would be a really nice gift to give an excellent teacher and a very nice person. Plus, just LISTEN! She's amazing!

Forgot: Brinsley Schwarz Yeah, it's Nick Lowe's (and Ian Gomm's) band from the early to mid 70s. And they did record the original version of a couple of songs that would become famous later on. But most folks don't seem to know the band, itself. And that's too damn bad. They're amazing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SZ2eT_T0AI

Glenn Gould The only classical that I have in there.

"I've got blisters on my fingers!"

Saw then at the Lounge Ax in Chicago back in the 90s. Excellent band.

I've heard OF several of these, but don't know that I've actually heard any of them.

I wouldn't be so vain as to think that I was the ONLY one who knows them, but lesser known, for sure. In no particular order: Shrimp Boat -- the original band of Sam Prekop (The Sea and Cake)The Flavor Channel -- another Chicago band from the 90sMartin Newell/Cleaners From Venus -- English home recording maven who has worked with Andy Partridge (XTC)Tom Zé -- Brazilian Tropicalia madman© -- Vancouver post-punk bandFrederick Knight -- Deep south soul singer who had a minor hit with "I've Been Lonely For So Long"Falstaff -- The offshoot band from Shrimp Boat (above) who is NOT The Sea and

far and away my favorite: The Pretenders: "Middle of the Road" --- Brrrr NEYOWWWW!!!! Other great ones. Sam and Dave: "Soul Man" --- Play it Steve!!! and anything that James Brown exclaims.

The shift from 4/4 time to 3/4 time for the title phrase, alone in "Strawberry Fields Forever". And, I cannot believe that nobody yet has mentioned the opening chord in "Hard Day's Night"!

PHIL A - SING ALONG UNTIL YOU FEEL BETTER

Speaks for itself. This one is just a mess.

Whenever this one came up in rotation when I was a college DJ, I would skip over it just because I hated the album cover so much. Then I got caught, so I had to play it. I wound up really freaking loving it, and loving this band. Now, I love Martin Newell, but this horrible portrait shot is damn near unforgivable as an album cover. Just looks like something from the family vacation: poorly composed and awkward. Good thing the music is typically womderful. Cute baby, but seriously? Sorry for making you look at this one. And yes, I DO like this record! A good record of Hend
