Reverend Horton Heat - Galaxy 500 (Live)

Doctor Steel- Planet X Marks the Spot.

Now that's good stuff - thanks for the links

Here's a song we just don't seem to get enough of these days here in New England:

Dropkick Murphys - "Tessie"

Learned about this guy recently...love this style of guitar! New Stevie?

Raul Midon - State of Mind

Raul Midon - Sittin in the Middle

depends on what Stevie you're comparing him to
When I think Stevie, I think Stevie Ray Vaughan. I don't see that comparison, but I could see Stevie Wonder
(no pun intended)


For my next contribution, let's go back...way back


Boogie Down Productions - My Philosophy
KRS-ONE - Sound of the Police
KRS-ONE & Marley Marl - Hip Hop Lives - The Bridge and The Boogie together

Ya I was referring to Stevie Wonder seein as this cat is blind.

Seeing her live was great, two cellos and a drum kit, more sound than you'd imagine possible.

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.

Here's a classic from Joan Armatrading - "I Love It When You Call Me Names"

I always thought this was a good song, hope noone posted this already.

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

This song was always fantastic ^_^

anyone remember these guys?

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

they were on the nin/bowie tour way back. killer album, but i never heard anything else from them after that.

They were the absolute low point of the performance at Southpark Meadows on that tour.

They were the absolute low point of the performance at Southpark Meadows on that tour.

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.

Since HBO's been playing "The Departed" a lot lately I thought I'd post this:
Roger Waters - "Comfortably Numb". Imagine being able to summon Van Morrison and The Band to back you up. A very cool version of the Pink Floyd classic

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.

Goldfinger - Open Your Eyes

Only good song on that album unfortunately.

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.

PJ Harvey - "Kamikaze"

It's also a pretty neat "Battlestar Galactica" video

Sufjan Stevens - John Wayne Gacy Jr.

This song is a bit creepy, but still beautiful. The video only accentuates this.

Feakin awesome!
Tick, Tick, Boom!

If you are a fan of Keller Williams style playing than i suggest you watch this video. I saw this guy live once and it was a great show. Such musical talent.

Howie Day - Bunnies

The house is Haunted - Marc Almond

Some Eddie Hazel:
Eddie Hazel - Maggot Brain

Unnamed jam
Hardcore funk

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Brandy (live cover)

They always look like they're having fun.

Flea kicks ass on that bass.

Probably posted before but Dani California cracks me up:

Classic Pretenders:

"Tatooed Love Boys"
"Message of Love"

A couple of my favorite all-time videos, too. It still pisses me off I didn't go see them when I had a chance back in the early 80's (the original lineup). Ah well ...

Cowboy Junkies - Blue Moon Revisited.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwO1BrwuP5M

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.

Hole - Celebrity Skin 96mb (mpg)

Boogie Monsters - Recognized Thresholds of Negative Stress

I seriously love this song, didn't look to see if it was posted already, but I doubt it. I'm sure a few people here can appreciate it at least!

Breeders - Cannonball

Spitting in a wishing well
Blown to hell... crash
I'm the last splash
I'll be you're whatever you want
The bong in this Reggae Song

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.

Poe - Trigger Happy Jack (Drive by a go-go)

Can't talk to a Psycho like a NORMAL HUMAN BEING!

Breeders link led me back to this beautiful woman...

Yeah, she is in record contract hell right now. So no new records, but Haunted was a GREAT Great record.

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

Ogbar wrote: Veruca Salt - "Shutterbug" - ok, so just the guitarists are girls, but they are darn good

Nice selections Oggy! I prefer Volcano Girls from Veruca Salt though!

volcano girls we really can't be beat
warm us up and watch us blow

Sugarcubes - Hit

One of the better Sugarcubes/Bjork songs. Or maybe not depending on your tastes. One of my favorites though!

Marcia Ball - Play With Your Poodle.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2yxnEIU ... re=related

I have seen her live a couple times, puts on a great show.

Matisyahu - King Without A Crown (Live at Stubb's)

Caught him at Stubb's twice and I think he sounded better live than on Youth (studio album)
