Don't forget Jan and Dean Text...They MET Batman you know. I think Neil Hefti did too. [and maybe Robin Trower?]
Hey!!! Anybody know where I can find a Steve Winwood greatest hits cd? The only one I can seem to find is one of those cheapo [formerly] MCA discs with [mainly] Traffic tunes on it. I want stuff from While You See a Chance - forward.

"No Wilsons...NO Beach Boys." I find it impossible to argue with THAT.

The mighty Wilco, their last-but-one album Sy Blue Sky. I've been nuts on their album Being There for nearly ten years, and it's only in the last two or three I've got anything else they've done. Took me a while, but I think Sky Blue Sky is my fave now...

Are you telling me you don't see the connection between government and laughing at people?

My latest discovery is Pugwash. It's nice to be nice.

British polo hero, stud hoss, avid collector of Archies memorabilia, drifter who rides into town one day, wins a gunfight with the evil land baron and his hired pistoleros, claims the heart of the mayor's daughter, then rides off again, aloof and alone.

Always have loved Rockpile , B , seen them 7-8 times .
Pugwash is one of the great lost Pop bands . 11 Ancient Antiquities is their best , course Jollity is close with the afore mention Nice to Be Nice and a new best of Giddy is a Goodie . A fun more Kinksian side project of Pugwash is Duckworth Lewis Method with Neil Hannon from The Divine Comedy . (check youtube)
Been on a Viking kick with Big Bang , a cool Allmans-Petty-CSN meld that Rocks with great Nordic twists on melody.
Fun Dance Pop with Swedens' Miike Snow
Pendulum -Sweden (?) A Hard Rock Techno mix
Hockey -funky Band-meets Dylan
King's X XV -Their best ever Beatle-Hendrix -GRand Funk blend , every song is great .
THe Lost Levels EP -UK Pub Pop
But Pugwash is the shining gem for all those great Pop junkies
From Beatles to BBs to ELO to XTC (DAVE GREGORY and ANDY Partridge play and write on it
) , Kinks , The Move , etc ..

Did the first two discs of the Bacharach box yesterday to try and figure something out. Also of late: Good Old Boys, Rodney Crowell Collection on Warner, Best of John Prine, first disc of that two-CD Raiders set from about 20 years ago, Heaven Tonight, which by the way I now wish I'd put in my Best of the 70s article 12/31/79.
I think today my 70s list would still include Blood on the Tracks, Who's Next, Aim Is True, Allmans at Fillmore, Layla, Harder They Come, Blue and Innervisions, but would likely omit some other stuff for What's Goin On, Heaven Tonight, Horses and some other things. And I'd be more wont to do 40 than 20 as I did then. I did 40 for the 80s.

"Good Vibrations" box set, disc 5, sessions -- the "Cabinessence" backing track is especially cool.
Yes: "The Yes Album" and "Fragile". I came across a quote from Jon Anderson saying that Yes had covered the BB's early in their career (not on record, though). When you hear the layered vocals on stuff like "Your Move" and "Roundabout" (and later stuff like "Leave It" and "Rhythm of Love"), it's obvious.

CCR...the whole works. Just listening to Have You Ever Seen The Rain http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TS9_ipu9GKw&feature=relatedJust so you can reflect and be amazed at the astonishing drums and bass line of the best rhythm section outside of Paul and Ringo. When people talk about the greatest groups of the past 50 years Beatles, Stones, Beach Boys, I always throw in Creedence Clearwater Revival for good measure. "Oh yes" they respond "Of course"..... |
