In college I had a fantasy fiction class in college and we were reading Lilith: A Romance by George MacDonald. This at the same time I really gave this album a listen. The result was a deeper appreciation of both.
This is just the greatest song ever done by AC/DC. It’s not just the lyrics, even though they are dark dark dark. But it’s everything else, and mostly it’s Bon Scott’s vocals.
I kinda feel like we’re losing touch with the rock and roll pioneers of the 1950s. That includes the Everly Brothers.
The Tubes had some fine songs (some think of them as novelty songs) such as What Do You Want From Life, White Punks on Dope and Don’t Touch Me There, but this gem actually was ignored by me until the last few years.
Yeah, it’s a Ted Nugent song.
But it’s peak Ted Nugent, during the short period where Meat Loaf did a lot of the lead vocals.
Tori Amos plays a Bösendorfer piano. Impress your friends with that. They make 97 and 92 key instruments in addition to traditional 88.
Can you tell in this song?
This song caught me by surprise a few years ago and it’s on a regular play list for me. Marshmello ft. Bastille built a song with a great hook, interesting lyrics and vocals that hit the spot. It’s a sad song with a lofty goal.
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.
