Love Williamson, but the Asheton solo on No Fun never bores me — even 15 million listens later. "I said come out her Ronny / And tell em how I feel"

Lou Reed - New York Stars
Bowie - Letter to Hermione (always running through my head)
Eno - Everything Merges With the Night
Can't you hear me knocking is, ah forget it. Oh, and Lexi is a little full of himself this morning.
I'm with ya, Lobsters. My my my my my boogie shoes… Great album.
I've never played Sister Ray on a jukebox (until tomorrow) but I have been known to spot Echoes between the Spinners and James Brown. Fits okay too.
Good points, Fast Times. And thank you for suggesting I go listen to Lark's Tongue Part II… I'm on it.
Agreeing with my betters above:
Listen to the Lion - Van Morrison
Echoes - Pink Floyd
WTFE nailed it. The Freep loses its damn mind when suburban kids are involved, and ignores the majority of cases…
Sorry I'm late, but Bruce Willis' Kids — you really got me on that one! Name your own prize in internet points.
No Elvis, Beatles, or Rolling Stones in 1977!
The Crickets were a self-contained songwriting and performance band before the Beatles. But you knew that…
Berlin of course. See also: The Who Sell Out.
Agree w/ Miller on Highway 61! Agree w/ Eponymous on Search and Destroy, but I always hear him say "heart fulla napalm."
How about:
Standing on the corner, suitcase in my hand / Jack's in his corset, Jane is in her vest / And me? I'm in a rock 'n' roll band…
Borges signed my copy of Labyrinths once. His autograph is about as legible as a blind man's could be. And in the Street Hassle days, I met Lou Reed and we chatted about Alan Watts, of all things.
Agree on O Sweet Nuthin. How about New Age from Live '69? Or It Was a Pleasure Then? Or Run Run Run?
A friend recently made me a short cd from some 45s. He included Tammi Terrell's "I Can't Believe You Love Me," Brenda Holloway's "I Will Always Love You," and Kim Weston's "A Thrill a Moment." Great songs, great performances, sadly overlooked.
I almost recommended the Vandellas, but Martha has irked me since becoming a City Council member here in the D.
Gladys Knight was also an inspired choice: Daddy Could Swear, I Declare!
Dee Dee
Thank for this, Jason. Loved hearing that performance. I've got to look for more by her.
Very true. Can we do a Motown girl groups analogy? The Supremes have to be the Beatles, but for the Stones slot, who? The Marvelettes?
I agree w/ Beeman on the masterpiece that is Them's version of "Baby Blue." I also like the Boxtops version of "I Shall Be Released" for its Alex Chilton-Memphis soul. But my all-time favorite is probably Bettie Serveert's cover of "I'll Keep It With Mine" from the I Shot Andy Warhol soundtrack. Check it out!
