Somewhere in my basement are a few old 45s that I have had since the 1960s. Two of them are recordings of the Lemon Pipers, including “Green Tambourine”. The term “psychedelic pop” was invented for bands like the Lemon Pipers.
Yes, it’s pretty obvious, Alanis Morissette is underrated as a recording artist. She was a dominant voice in the late 1990s, and I enjoy several of her albums, but I really do like how she put together “Thank U” as a slow but uplifting call for personal enlightenment.
I know I said before that I’m not a big Clash fan, but maybe I don’t know myself. I’ve already posted a Joe Strummer song, and now here’s a great tune from The Clash’s second album, “Give ‘Em Enough Rope”.
I will admit I was never the biggest fan of The Clash. I liked them fine, and saw them as one of the acts on a Day on the Green in the Bay Area, but I own one album by them.
