Trembling Eagle, what are we going to do with you?

[WavyGravy]

For your pennance I want you to listen to ten Lil' Wayne mixtape tracks.

[yesno]

You should check out revolver.torrent.

[WavyGravy]

I think if I tried to listen to all of these songs in the order they're listed, I'd probably have to be hospitalized.

[perry]

^^what he said.  yeesh.  system of a down did a cover of "shame on a nigga"?  are you serious?

[erechoveraker]

Boo to Lil Wayne but Korn & Disturbed get a pass?

I'm becoming more and more convinced that "Trembling Eagle" is just some character somebody is workshopping via the boards. This is just too much mutanity in a row for me to believe otherwise.

So are you looking for advice from rock music enthusiasts?

Maybe not, but I'll put in my two cents anyway ... using your (very) miscellaneous playlist as a jumping-off point.

American Woman.mp3 ...
The Flaming Lips - Going To Florida.mp3

Which version of "American Woman"? The original, by the Guess Who, is a staple of classic-rock radio. Lenny Kravitz covered it, but FUCK LENNY KRAVITZ. The Butthole Surfers have a demented cover verion of "American Woman" (it's really more of a massacre than a cover version). Your Flaming Lips selection is a Butthole Surfers cover. I am pro-Butthole Surfers. They meant a lot to me during a (mal)formative time in my life. The "Locust Abortion Technician" and "Hairway to Steven" albums are a good starting point with that band. I also like that Blood Brothers song you have on your playlist. They're another good "extreme" band if yr. in the right frame of mind for that type of thing.

David Bowie - Young American.mp3
The Flaming Lips - Going To Florida.mp3

Bowie was consistently great thru the '70s, although the "Young Americans" album isn't as good as most of the other '70s stuff. "Scary Monsters", from 1980, is a great album. Bowie's late 70s albums are also good if you're interested in exploring his collabs with Brian Eno and Robert Fripp.

Bowie's "Live Santa Monica '72" was "officially" released recently... as Raad_Man might say, it's full of kick-ass rock and roll that's totally not gay. Oh wait a minute ...
    ... never mind.

Led Zeppelin ...

Everything! Listen to all of it!

Bad Brains ...

Yep. They're good. Fugazi, Shudder to Think, those are some other good ones from that Washington DC scene. There's a thread here about that scene, with contributions from people who know a lot more about it than me ...

eddie money - take me home tonight.mp3

Oh man, that guy is such a putz. But I do kind of like "Two Tickets to Paradise" as a guilty-pleasure type thing. I'd put Billy Squire in that category also.

Tom got me into the Thermals, they're a great band. He also gave me an appreciation for Aerosmith at the height of their mid-70s sleaziness.

I'll stop there ... hope I'm not being too pedantic. Keep flying your mixed-martial freak flag, TE. Don't let the haters get you down.

[Bob Balaban]

That list makes me so MAD.  Oh man, it makes me want to fight TE.

There's only one place to settle this...

THE OCTAGON!

Well Tremblin' Eagle, I'll give you credit for being consistent, your taste in rap, sports and rock are equally terrible.

[A.M. Thomas]

I'm actually pretty curious to hear this one:
destiny's child vs. nirvana - smells like booty.mp3

[jamesp]

I'm actually pretty curious to hear this one:
destiny's child vs. nirvana - smells like booty.mp3

I think that was a big mash-up hit by Soulwax from like 2001.

where is the rock that you have been listening to?

[Trembling Eagle]

So are you looking for advice from rock music enthusiasts?

Maybe not, but I'll put in my two cents anyway ... using your (very) miscellaneous playlist as a jumping-off point.

Yeah, I'm just throwing it out there...I'm not a
"Rock" fan at all. I don't have the background or the references to understand what's good or not I just hear stuff I like and I'm like, "let me check it out." Now that I think about it the Under Pressure song I got from the Best Show too, think about that stuff that you've probably been listening to your whole life I'm JUST now hearing for the first time.

The American Woman song must be by the Guess Who, there was no name on it when I downloaded it I think I found it looking for the Kravitz version the Guess Who version I cam across had a fun little faux blues riff in the front of it that I liked a lot so I decided to keep it.

I think I would really like David Bowie if I could get into his stuff more I just don't know where to start. I kinda remember him doing this 90's thing with Trent Reznor with the "I'm Afraid of American's" single I liked that just never got around to listening to the album or exploring his work more.


The Eddie Money thing is from my youth, I grew up in the 80's so music from that area of any genre just kinda stick in the back of my head even if I don't know it. I had no idea who Eddie Money is or that song really untill I found myself humming the bridge one day and couldn't get it out of my head...went running to the internet and came across the tune. You guys may think it's corny but Take Me Home Tonight is a perfectly crafted pop/rock song, it just fucking works! Whoever the lady is singing with him the, horns, the break down....it's just a rocking ass song, to me anyway.


That Blood Brother's song is insanely rocking the second I heard t on the show I was like "I must have this", it's like I can't play that at regular volume, gotta be super loud. It's weird because I downloaded the album that came off of thinking I would be into the whole thing and that song was the only one that really moved me.  I have like 10-15 rock albums and one of the ones I actually went out and physically bought with my own money back in the day was "Atari Teenage Riot - 60 Sec Wipeout" so I think I have a soft spot for really  noisy frenetic stuff, I don't know, I didn't like any of the rest of the DHR stuff I came across.


Led Zep, man that stuff is kinda awesome lol, I know how that must sound. Awesome groove, can you guys suggest more songs/groups that are that groovy/bluesy feel? A song I came across a year or so ago I really like is "Smith - Baby It's You". That intersection of soul-blues and rock really fascinates me. Is there more of it?
