enjoy
1. She's Expensive by The Virgins
This song sounds like a clash outtake and is pretty good; they never lived up to their billing as the next big thing/ the next Strokes but this tune is cool, especially the intro.
2. Sex On Fire by Kings of Leon
This song signified the Kings joining the mainstream and the end of them as an interesting indie class band.
3. Kickstart My Heart by Mötley Crüe
When I saw them a couple years ago in 2008 they opened their shows with this monster.
4. Cheap City Thrills by Alleycat Scratch
Glam metal was alive and well in 2008 as this retro gem proved. with exception to the weak solo, these guys nail the feel and sound.
5. Do it Again by Steely Dan
A band named after a pleasure implement in a William S. Burroughs novel. I was fiending to this song when I made this mix; i though it was the best song ever for about two weeks
6. Something Burning by The Stone Roses
This is one of the songs the Stone Roses had to record in secret as they were in court with their record label; it's a smooth one.
7. Chain of Fools by Aretha Franklin
The queen of soul, pay your respects
8. You Can't Hurry Love by The Supremes
No you can't. Motown had some fantastic hits come from it, this would be in my top ten.
9. Girlfriend in A Coma by The Smiths
When this song came out we all laughed but all loved it.
10.Who Can Say by The Horrors
Back with a more sweeping sound, the got away from the abrasive choppiness that I loved so much. The keyboards are still pervasive.
11.Mother by Danzig
His one big hit. He channels Jim Morrison in this one.
12.Thirteen by Johnny CashCovering Danzig's song; it cool and more somber than ominous
13.These Times They Are A-Changin' by Bob Dylan
Folk music at it's commercial peak.
14.Pork and Beans by Weezer
A little ditty in the midst of a big chorus, they've been paying homage to the Pixies for so long now.
15.Know Your Enemy by Green Day
This was there follow up to the huge 2004 effort, American Idiot. It's not quite as great.
16.Messing With My Head by Tinted Windows
The greatest New Wave band of the new millennium. Members of Hanson, Smashing Pumpkins and Cheap Trick formed this one shot band; it's good listening and should have been used in an eighties movie about a fictional eighties band.
17.Rebel Rebel by David BowieBowie doesn't do it any better than this, nor do many others. Teenagers experimenting unite!
18.Poker Face by Lady Gaga
Not only does she owe Madonna a lot but she owes Bowie a lot. This is the sort of songs androids like to kiss to.
19.Words. by Missing Persons
Oh yeah here's another group that influence the previous artist.Actually they are more influential than one might think. I don't even know if people know they're influenced by them. Is that subversive?
20.The Bitter End by Placebo
Placebo continue their sharp, stirring tunes
21.I'm A Man by Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers
This was recorded live at the Fillmore in San Francisco; he does a good job getting bluesy
22.That's Not My Name by The Tin TingsI guess this is a chick anthem about wanting respect but I'm not sure.
but nobody really walks in LA!!!
