I’ll admit, about the only thing I knew about The Figgs until about 6 years ago was that they backed up Graham Parker sometimes. Although that’s a good sign of the quality of their music, I knew nothing else.
Today’s youth probably don’t know much, if anything, about Humble Pie. Maybe 30 Days In The Hole.
Ever listen to a song that makes you feel sentimental even though it doesn’t have a sentimental value in your own life history?
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers’ second effort, “You’re Gonna Get It” was their first “gold” record, and had several hits, but my favorite cut is “Hurt”. Love when songs sound like they are almost a tuneup and fit perfectly into the song. Hurt does that.
Bags has a pace that sucks me in. Clairo’s production of this is genius. Every instrument sounds like it’s slowed down and stretched out for maximum effect. I love the piano particularly.
I dunno, it’s been a good post Beatles career for McCartney, but the best music, in general, I think came from George Harrison.
Elton John’s “Step Into Christmas” is the somewhat forgotten rock performer original Christmas song from the 60s and 70s.
Kurt Vile’s “Pretty Pimpin'” has staying power. I listen to this song at least once a week on Spotify (okay, more), and it never gets old.
What is the greatest song by Pink Floyd?
No, it isn’t this one. This is just David Gilmour.
