The Roches - "The Married Men"

ALWAYS one of my favorites! And yet, until now, nobody else has ever mentioned this one as one of their favorites -- at least that I had seen. There is a complete lack of ego/sense of showing off; the solo just kind of organically flows out of the main riff. It brings the song to a higher place... it does everything that a solo is supposed to do. It's like magic. Freaking perfect! Such a great call, imsjry! I am right there with you.

See My Friends - The Kinks You Don't Know - 13th Floor Elevators Deceptions - Bollweevils Loud Music In Cars - Billy Bremner I Know You Don't Love Me - Ike Turner I Want You To Want Me - Dwight Yoakam Medea Rising - Shrimp Boat Sidewalk - Built To Spill You're My Drug - The Dukes Of Stratosphear Rock And Roll Fantasy (live bootleg version) - Ray Davies

Maybe it's cliche to pick a Byrds song, but fukkit... The Byrds - "My Back Pages" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h80l4XIPJC4 EDIT: And, i assume that you mean any version BESIDES Hendrix doing "All Along the Watchtower".

Just about to give this a first-ever listen: But, I'm pretty excited about it, as everything I've been reading makes it sound like something that I've been needing to hear for a long time. Hope that it lives up to expectations.

The world's only Hüsker Dü tribute band (or so they claim): Hüsker Düdes Based here, in Chicago. With a high school friend of mine, and Sybaris drummer Eric Mahle on drums. Who else should have a tribute band? Who deserves one that probably doesn't have one? I'm thinking Meat Puppets. Maybe call it Other Kinds Of Love, or Swimming Ground. Maiden's Milk? Backwater?

Post evidence. Also, I should point out, that all of those early singles from The Parliaments (as they were then known) have pretty much disappeared: gone out of print and have remained basically unavailable, except for a few bootlegs here and there. (I have one of those bootlegs and the sound quality is atrocious.) Here's hoping that those early doo-wop singles will finally get reissued and receive the treatment that they deserve.

An early version of a song that Parliament would later go on to re-do in 1974. But, here is the 1967 version of The Parliaments - "Testify" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJW643hIKMw Honestly, I think that I kinda prefer this version. Just sounds... tougher.

The first song that my wife and I danced to at our wedding: "You're the One For Me (by Jonathan Richman... the Jonathan Sings! version) If you didn't want me you shouldn't have been born That started all the trouble now the damage been done You never should have been born Cuz now you're the one for me And if you didn't want me to follow you around You never should have showed up around my town You never should have come to town Cuz now you're the one for me And it's too late cuz now you're stuck with me Better give up, it's me you choose I say "ha ha ha ha, it's me, you lose." It's to la

Listening now, Galen. Really nice stuff; good songwriting. Adding to the VC station, now.

We were kinda behind the stage, so... you tell me.

Bought him one. $35.00 First concert. Birthday present. 11 years old. Worth it. (With tour dates printed on back)

It was "Be Bop a Lula". And here is that vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZ7hfpGyLME

Great call.

Supergrass - "Caught by the Fuzz"

Why, yes. Yes it does. For those of you not in the know... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAH1ioLiaHw You're welcome.

"Mama Tried" - Merle Haggard maybe the best song ever written. Also... check PMs.

Also... Mr. Bungle - California (I can't post more than 5 images.)

Reminds me of when Steve Allen (was it Steve Allen?) recited the lyrics to "Tutti Fruiti" as if it were poetry. I was looking for the video of that, but cannot find it. Anyone?

This is fucking brilliant.
