I don’t know where to start with David Bowie’s Panic in Detroit, which has been one of my favorite rock songs for a long, long, long time. Everything makes it great.
Graham Parker never did get enough airplay.
Why isn’t Love Gets You Twisted played regularly every Valentine’s Day?
Sufjan Stevens generated one of the more creepy AND elegant songs of the 2000s with “John Wayne Gacy, Jr.” from the Illinoise album.
My Mom passed away in 2001. Some music performers both make me miss her and make me feel closer to her. Nanci Griffith is DEFINITELY one of those performers
First of all, I strongly prefer the Bowie version of “Hang On To Yourself” from Ziggy Stardust than the Arnold Corns version.
Sometimes you just have to shrug about how much you enjoy a song.
“Don’t Tell Me You Love Me” by Night Ranger is such a song for me.
“Goddamn right it’s a beautiful day.”
So, I love this song Funky Céilí, it’s just so catchy. Black 47 had a hit on their hands in 1993, and I kind of thought we’d be hearing a lot more of them going forward.
The first time I heard “I’m Shipping Up To Boston” by the Dropkick Murphys was in the 2006 film “The Departed” (which is a great flick btw).
Maybe this isn’t Pearl Jam’s greatest song. But I think it’s their catchiest.
