One of the greatest dance songs ever recorded.
Kate Bush was the soundtrack of my bike riding in the 1980s. I played that cassette constantly. I became a Kate Bush fanatic.
In the past 30 years, has there been a more underrated popular rock band than Garbage?
I’m going to tell you where I stand on this song right now. Montrose’s version of Connection is one of the greatest covers of a song in rock history (originally Rolling Stones). It is probably the greatest job of singing Sammy Hagar ever did on a song. I have a lot of favorite Montrose songs but this is the pinnacle.
The drums and David Sylvain’s vocals just really are perfect. The rest of the album is good, but this version of this song is fantastic.
Until last year, I didn’t know who Fischerspooner was, or the song Emerge. Emerge came out in 2003. I was clueless about it for nearly 2 decades.
Sleepwalker is an underrated album by the Kinks. And maybe the best song on an album full of great songs is Full Moon.
Flo Rida’s hit of the 2010s is so catchy, we don’t really catch how happy it is. It samples fantastic singing by Etta James. You just want to bop your head to it, move your feet, dance.
Chug-a-lug is one goofy song about learning to drink. Grape wine in a mason jar. Moonshine still.
You might know this song as done by the Australian band Flowers. Or you might know it as done by the Australian band Icehouse. If you know it at all, good for you.
