Most younger people know it (and in many cases, like it) from Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy.

Starland Vocal Band- "Afternoon Delight". OK , is there anyone who does'nt hate this song? (You younger people who may have never heard it , resist what little temptation that may come over you !).

According to Robert Christgau, only "nigglers" hate John Fogerty:

And here's that Fogerty song Swamis was referring to, since John Battles claims not to know it, meaning he hasn't been to a single American baseball game in the past 35+ years:

1) John Fogerty- without the revival-
" put me in coach"- no thanks, dick..

I hate "The Weight" . "The Weight " I hate . Why do people think that it's so great?

"The Weight" by The BAND , surely one of the most overrated bands , ever. I know that songs that never get off the ground are Rock'n'Roll at it's finest (Any Deadhead will tell you so.), but , I never got it......They were fine as Ronnie Hawkins' backing band , but , after that , zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.  I was never much of a Dylan fan , either, so their tenure with him , I know I'M SUPPOSED TO ADORE, but , I find it a BORE , BORE , BORE.

Starland Vocal Band- "Afternoon Delight". OK , is there anyone who does'nt hate this song? (You younger people who may have never heard it , resist what little temptation that may come over you !).    I'm not knocking the sentiment expressed in this song , mind you. A few years later  , I read they did a version of "La Bamba", with new lyrics , giving themselves a CO - CREDIT !

THERE'S A REAL CREEPY COUNTRY - POP SONG , EARLY - MID 70'S , I THINK.  It sounds like a duet by a creepy older guy and a barely of age , frankly scared sounding girl. They may have been closer than that in ages , in real life , but it sounds CREEPY ! tHE CHORUS WAS "gUESS i'M gONNA sTAY wITH yOU aWHILE". Fortunately , that's all I recall.

Like a White Trash "J'etaime.".

Big Dipper - "All Going Out Together" . Beginning of my non - love affair with Alt -Rock.

Stray Cats - "Stray Cat Strut". I would not LIE to you. I heard two bands cover it in one week. One band was led by Lee Rocker , and he should have known better.

Hayze Fantayze - "Shiny Shiny" . I worked in a Pizza place in '83 , I had TO LISTEN TO THE RADIO OR MY CO-WORKER'S CRAP - METAL TAPES , most of the time (YES , LIKE SCORPIONS , 10 years past their prime !). Mercifully , this song only got airplay for about a week.

Styx - Boy, it's hard to choose ONE. Probably "Sing For The Day". Sounds like their voices were sped up to sound MORE castrato.....Speaking of which......

Four Seasons , anyone? Hard to think of just one , probably "Big Girls Don't Cry". I'm probably a little more tolerant of 'em than when I was a kid , but that voice! Grating ! I'll even take Edith Massey's version over that.

Quiet Riot - "Cum on Fell Th'Noize" , "Mama Weer All Crazy Now" - Their own stuff is no bargain , either.

Motley Crue - "Smokin' In The Boy's Room"- as above.

Krokus - "Ballroom Blitz " - as above.

Joan Jett and The Blackhearts - "I Love Rock'n'Roll"  , "Do You Wanna Touch Me (Yeah Oh Yeah.)- as above.  Don't get me wrong , I even liked the  songs she sang with the later Runaways , most of 'em , and some of her first album , but , I never got on the bandwagon. I'll take The Arrows' original "I Love Rock'n'Roll' any day ( I met Alan Merrill. He said he's tried to reach Joan Jett , but, never met her. She should have been reaching out to him , to say thanks.), and I even prefer Tommy James' version of "Do You Wanna..." , he was in on the late train to Glam covers , 5 years before Joan , even doing "Devilgate Drive" by Suzi Quatro, whose schtick was "Borrowed by Jett , like Jim Dandy's was by David Lee Roth.

Black Sabbath are one of the best bands in the world..I cant think saying that scorpions are close enought to black sabbath!!!

I m not listening that type of music that time of my life, im a guy of (garage,punk surf psycho-rockabilly) music.

I stop talking about scorpions/...this discusion are not for scorpion i just say my opinion...:P

keep rcoking guys!!!

HA HA HA......But  ,  have you heard their first two albums? I was really surprised how good they were , like Black Sabbath with a bit of Pink Fairies Psychedelia thrown in. I do know , I did see Uli JoN ROTH ONCE , IT WAS SO wank! He had films of himself playing real fast , and he'd replicate what was in thE films perfectly. WOW, man !

yep, sorry John! i know you understand a bit german BUT if you would understand more you won´t like them, as well! :P

HA HA HA! Here I am defending early Scorpions
(As in ca. 1972.), and you've already shot 'em down , beforehand. Well done. : )

Tersicore said:

completely agree!!

and i confess: i never liked Springsteen, really! (and hate even the very early skorpions)

NoiseMaker said:

Time to get it off my chest...

Hey Jude - The Beatles

Good Vibrations - The Beach Boys

Unchained melody -The Righetous Bros

Hotel California - The Eagles

Born in the USA -Springsteen

ANYTHING by Journey...

ANYTHING by Def Leopard

...I better stop,,,,my brain is smokin'

U2 is a BAND?!  Kidding.....sort of.

I don't blame you at all for hating the Scorpions , BUT , if you like aggressive , somewhat trippy , early 70's Hard Rock at all , you could do a lot worse than the first two Scorpions albums. They sound NOTHING like what they went on to become.

Nice overview of Andre's (Somewhat) recent repertoirre. The best thing I've seen him do , in recent years , was a reading of "Sweets" in a bar that was half comprised of Andre's friends and fans (Inc. Miriam Linna , Bo Dudley , John Drake FROM tHE aMBOY dUKES, Dan Kroha ,and Cynthia Plastercaster) and half loud , abrasive yuppies who would not shut up during Andre's reading. Enough people gave them death - stares and yelled "SHUT THE FUCK UP !!!" to almost bring it to a cease , then , when Andre said "AND THEN , SHE BIT HIS MUTHAFUCKIN' DICK OFF !!!!!" , oh yeah , they were gone.

My favorite Andre comeback records are still the two he did for Norton , which makes me uncool in the so -called "Garage Community". I don't think I've seen either of these , but , now  you've got me interested.  The Goldstars have been around a long time , Sal and Ken were also in Andre's previous Chicago - based touring band , The Greasy Wheels.

I'm a big fan of Dennis Coffey , but I only heard of this album in passing.

The "Directly From the Streets" album is shit. Unless you like BAD rap . I mean even - bad - for rap - Bad Rap. It's too bad they could'nt do better, together, him and Swamp. When my friend s, James Porter and Sean Maloney , and I interviewed 'Dre , I think in early '97 , he referred to Swamp Dogg as "FAT FUCKER !!!" , AND SAID HE REFUSED TO LET HIM TALK TO THE LABEL PREZ AT ICHIBAN(?). "WHY ? " Andre asked , "IS HE GOT TWO DICKS ?!!".

Williams claims he was offered a piece of "Mustang Sally", now the inexplicable theme song for Blues Bands all over Chicago , BUT , ESPECIALLY , THE SOUTH SIDE. HE SAID HE PASSED , THINKING THE SONG WOULD'NT GO.

But , "Bacon Fat" was a national hit. One of those things Oldies RADIO WOULD HAVE US FORGET.

Yeah , seemed like a longshot , but , who can be sure? Actually , The Ledge started out as a one man band , himself.

John Battles said:

You mean , Anus Presley , who used to guest with The Butthole Surfers , or someone else?

Not the Butthole's.  This guy is sort of like 'Hasil Adkins meets The Legendary Stardust Cowboy'  I don't know anything about him butt eye gots me 4 songs of his, cheers

Gotta give a shout for three guys I saw live recently

Scott H Biram

Honkeyfinger and Dave Arcari

Molly Gene One Whoaman Band plays some some pretty mean punk blues, worth checking out if you've not heard her before

You mean , Anus Presley , who used to guest with The Butthole Surfers , or someone else?

I had this macho hardass redneck jerkoff I was sharing a studio space with in school, I accidentally on purpose played "Revenge of Anus Presley" when he was in the room. He never came back. These others , I have'nt heard of. Good names , most of 'em. We had a big One Man Band FESTIVAL IN CHICAGO , ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO. There  were someting like 150 performers in several venues.

Gino and the Goons!

It's sublime , but creepy......They were one of the first to popularize acoustic music , again.

YEARS AGO , A FRIEND OF MINE HAD DEVELOPED A METHAMPHETAMINE HABIT . HE GOT FREE OF IT , BUT , HE COULD'NT AFFORD MEDICAL ASSISTANCE , SO HE HAD TO DRY OUT ON HIS OWN. HE WAS DELIVERING PIZZAS. WHAT MADE HIM MAD WAS ,HE'D GO TO ALL THESE FRAT BOY'S HOUSES , AND THEY'D ALL BE PLAYING WHATEVER THE FEMMES' RECORD WAS THEN , DOCUMENTING THE SINGER'S WITHDRAWAL FROM DOPE. IT MADE MY FRIEND MAD , BECAUSE HE HAD TO HEAR ABOUT A GUY WHO COULD AFFORD GOOD MEDICAL CARE , ALL THE TIME , AND HE HAD TO DO IT , COLD TURKEY.

This is lovely. A few years old but Takako is a real Maverick when it comes to music, culture and influence. Enjoy

For me it was the Ramones Surfin Bird. Once I'd heard that and knew it was a cover I had to source out the original and that led to nuggets and that was that. Hooked.
