  1. The official tracklist and back cover art according to remhq.com:
  2. Not sure if this one's been mentioned or not but if not, it should be. This one is only half live but the energy on it makes up for the entire record. Hard to believe it's the only live recording ZZ Top have ever released. A band and album that are often overlooked because of the more well known Allmans and Skynyrd but stands up to the very best of both those bands. Originally a single disc on vinyl (as seen above), this seminal live record from Waylon Jenning was recently expanded into a remastered two album set. The first edition sounds horrible but the newer edition (pictured above) is vastly improved and very highly recommended to all fans of one of the original "outlaws".
  3. We refuse to be What you wanted us to be; We are what we are: That's the way (way) it's going to be. You don't know! You can't educate I For no equal opportunity: (Talkin' 'bout my freedom) Talkin' 'bout my freedom, People freedom (freedom) and liberty! Yeah, we've been trodding on the winepress much too long: Rebel, rebel! Yes, we've been trodding on the winepress much too long: Rebel, rebel! Babylon system is the vampire, yea! (vampire) Suckin' the children day by day, yeah! Me say: de Babylon system is the vampire, falling empire, Suckin' the blood of the sufferers, yea-ea-ea-ea-e-ah! Building church and university, wo-o-ooh, yeah! - Deceiving the people continually, yea-ea! Me say them graduatin' thieves and murderers; Look out now: they suckin' the blood of the sufferers (sufferers). Yea-ea-ea! (sufferers) Tell the children the truth; Tell the children the truth; Tell the children the truth right now! Come on and tell the children the truth; Tell the children the truth; Tell the children the truth; Tell the children the truth; Come on and tell the children the truth. 'Cause - 'cause we've been trodding on ya winepress much too long: Rebel, rebel! And we've been taken for granted much too long: Rebel, rebel now! (Trodding on the winepress) Trodding on the winepress (rebel): got to rebel, y'all (rebel)! We've been trodding on the winepress much too long - ye-e-ah! (rebel) Yea-e-ah! (rebel) Yeah! Yeah! From the very day we left the shores (trodding on the winepress) Of our Father's land (rebel), We've been trampled on (rebel), Oh now! (we've been oppressed, yeah!) Lord, Lord, go to ... Now we know everything we got to rebel Somebody got to pay for the work We've done, rebel. Babylon System Words by Bob Marley, music by Bob Marley and the Wailers From the album Survival
  4. Except for Guns n' Roses, all of those bands were formed in the 70s. As for bands actually formed (and/or who first released their first album) in the 80s, my list of favorites would go something like this: R.E.M. U2 10,000 Maniacs The Replacements The Long Ryders Del Fuegos The Radiators Lone Justice Los Lobos David Lindley & El Rayo-X Indigo Girls Uncle Tupelo Drivin' n' Cryin' Guadalcanal Diary Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble
  5. According to this Danish website the tracklisting is listed below, the first single is Supernatural Superserious and the entire running time of the record is 35 minutes: http://gaffa.dk/nyheder/view.php/news_id=20752 Living Well Is The Best Revenge Mansized Wreath Supernatural Superserious Hollow Man Houston Accelerate Until The Day Is Done Mr Richards Sing For The Submarine Horse To Water I’m Gonna DJ
  6. Interview: Drive-By Truckers Interview by Joshua Klein Back in summer 2006, the last thing the Drive-By Truckers wanted was a tour with the Black Crowes. It was nothing personal-- the band was run down and fighting. The marriage between guitarist Jason Isbell and Shonna Tucker was falling apart, Isbell was fighting with both Patterson Hood and Mike Cooley, and Cooley was drinking too much in response. But if it wasn't for that summer tour and the money the band pulled in playing to mostly empty sheds, they wouldn't have been able to afford to take a break. And without a break, says Hood today, they would have likely broken up. You can read the rest of the interview here: http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/feat...ive-by-truckers
  7. That not really what I'm saying but Nirvana were definitely heavily influenced by punk. Pat Smear was in that band for a reason.
  8. Since they're mutual fans I'm wondering if that's the Jimmy Buffett song If The Phone Doesn't Ring, It's Me from his Riddles in the Sand record? Not that it isn't true but I find that hard to believe, especially since Plant had Ritchie Hayward play drums on Shaken n' Stirred.
  9. You're correct, I didn't but you know the music press. In the wake of Cobain's death they didn't hesitate to call Green Day "the new Nirvana". I do see them all as an extension of punk rock though, no matter how far removed. Like I said, they were the more accessible versions.
  10. I have no idea but you can always check allmusic or amazon for a list of their songs.
  11. Patty Hurst Shifter w/ Modern Skirts Friday, January 18th Pour House Music Hall Raleigh, NC
  12. Zeppelin aren't my favorite band but they're definitely one of my favorites. Other favorites would include: Beatles R.E.M. Drive-By Truckers Bob Dylan Whiskeytown Jimmy Buffett John Prine Black Sabbath Foghat Leon Russell Lynyrd Skynyrd Emmylou Harris Steve Earle Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen Waylon Jennings
  13. I think it may go back even further than that to Nirvana (and other bands from the "grunge" movement) who spawned a million imitators. A lot of that same hype surrounded Green Day, who in turn, also spawn millions of imitators. It all goes back to the original punk rock and the most accessible sounding bands breaking through.
  14. Just how is that going to detract from how much I may enjoy a band?
  15. The Marshall Tucker Band has a flute player but they oftentimes straddle the line between rock and country.
  16. The main thing I remember (aside from the yodeling) is that he "sold more records than the Beatles and Elvis in England".
  17. So is virtually every band out there (including Zep), it's not something unique to Kiss and goes all the way back to the Grateful Dead (as well as many, many other bands), Winterland Productions and Bill Graham.
  18. Any band? How fucked up it must be to live with ones ears buried in the sand, not to mention all the great bands you've automatically written off.
  19. Slim Whitman, the falsetto singer and yodeler best known for his 1952 smash, "Indian Love Call," has died. He turned 84 yesterday. A native of Tampa, Fla., Whitman played a key early role in popularizing country music overseas. He specialized in sentimental or "heart" songs like "Secret Love" and "Love Call," the latter previously recorded by Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy in 1936. A perennial on the charts during his 20-year association with Imperial Records, which later became a part of United Artists, Whitman was a regular on the Louisiana Hayride during the early 1950s and, later, on the Grand Ole Opry
  20. It's their debut, they now have another one out (also highly recommended). Imagine a cross between Skynyrd and the Black Crowes with a good deal of vintage Stones and Faces thrown in. You can read more about them here: http://www.bloodshotrecords.com/artists/theyayhoos/
  21. The Yayhoos "Love Train" (The O'Jays) Drive-By Truckers "People Who Died" (Jim Carroll Band) R.E.M. "Witchita Lineman" (written by Jimmy Webb, performed by Glen Campbell) Pearl Jam "Crazy Mary" (Victoria Williams) Grateful Dead "Big River" (Johnny Cash)
