This song is so damn catchy...weird too.
When I was younger, I used to think that the world was doing it to me and that the world owes me some thing…When you're a teeny bopper, that's what you think. I'm 40 now, I don't think that anymore, because I found out it doesn't f--king work. One has to go through that. For the people who even bother to go through that, most assholes just accept what it is anyway and get on with it." - John Lennon

depends on what Stevie you're comparing him to :P
When I think Stevie, I think Stevie Ray Vaughan. I don't see that comparison, but I could see Stevie Wonder :)

Good stuff rhyae.

Someone mentioned Fiona Apple in the YouTube Rasputina comments so I must post her Criminal video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTpvjNn2BUM

and Live version

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgEu12FjeCo

Interesting in the live version, she seems to stay true to the original recording. Might not sound great but it's accurate!

I think Fast as You Can is her best song though:

I dig those Rasputina clips. As for Fiona Apple, well, I played the you know what out of her "Tidal" album - I rather dig her stuff, too.

I guess that's probably why they/he/whatever never took off. I had never seen a video of the lead singer guy before last night, and he looks like a douche. Still, it was a killer album.

I am throwing one out here for my favorite British band from the 80's - 90's.

Prefab Sprout was such an underpromoted band - but Paddy McAloon is a true songsmith that has influenced many songwriters since the late 70's.


Johnny Johnny - 1985

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLPyrLfOYuo



We Let the Stars Go - 1990

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVKUE_EzbIc



Cowboy Dreams - 2001

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWjL5tnk76c



Paddy McAloon in 2004 - great beard! He reminds me of John Lennon in this clip.

I've seen them a few times now, and was lucky enough to participate in a meet a greet and scored all their autographs.

Personally, im just a normal fan, but my mother has been crazy about these guys for some time.
They do make some great music though, and all 3 vocalists are astounding.

Hole - Celebrity Skin

Not a Courtney Love or Hole fan but I like this song after hearing it in the Rock Band video game. I searched for a live version but she appears to all crack-whored out in all of those.

the lines:

You better watch out
What you wish for
It better be worth it
So much to die for

made me think of Kurt Cobain.

I posted a 96mb mpg version of this same song. YouTube is great but grab this version for comparison. It's kind of painful to see how YouTube butchers the video and audio of songs. I know it's a necessary evil for bandwidth reasons.

One of those songs that gets me fired up every time. Would be a great song for Rock Band, especially the bass! That's two chick bands in a row (except the drummer) I think Avril Lavigne got her wardrobe ideas from the lead singer.

If it makes you feel better, one of Kim Deal's performances is featured in Rock Band:

Pixies - "Wave of Mutilation": of course, it sounds a bit different in game (link is from an acoustic performance at the Newport Folk Festival)


And if you're going to make a run on female rock bands, let me beat you to the punch on a couple:

The Runaways - "Schooldays" - all girl band from the 70s featuring Joan Jett and Lita Ford
Veruca Salt - "Shutterbug" - ok, so just the guitarists are girls, but they are darn good
