*laugh* re Original Disco Man (oooh yeaaaah).

What is on the lp/tape/cd shelves here? Most by one group or artist? The Stones 'natch, esp. love Between the Buttons.

This would be followed by a nice pile of indie punk compilations that I can't seem to resist, Live at The Rat (RIP) being an all-time fave. :D

John, as far as Original Disco Man (whicah I don't own, BTW)...

It may have been CHEAP, but most importantly it was JAMES BROWN, so you get a pass! Ha!

'Introduction To The Motions' — The Motions, 1965

Barry, I agree!!!

You may dig my album too 'The Problem With Me'... it's good!

Anything on State Records...especially The Offhooks - Outside Looking In (no vested interest at all!).

1st Elevators album.

The Litter 'Distortions'.

Five Americans 'I See The Light'.

When I saw this on the list it certainly reminded me - I listen to that album so much, in pieces.  You can scare someone playing that album and I will put another vote in.  Imagine a stranger coming to your door with Demolicon or Alcatraz blasting on your speakers.  I am a sucker for garage coming from Peru.  Los Shains are another - love that Anthology.

I would have to say Los Saicos' Wildteen Punk From Peru.  It is consistently great from start to finish and their some truly amazing musical and primitive feeling moments in it, especially with the final song "El Entierro Dos Los Gatos."

And the cover to that Sam the Sham is a scream, too!

If modern-day garage counts (and evidently it does):
I Know You Fine, But How You Doin' - Gories
Blue Dirge - Beguiled
Dear Independence - Blue Van
Live For Buzz - Swingin' Neckbreakers

More sixties gold:
The Remains
I See The Light - Five Americans
Midnight Ride With Paul Revere & the Raiders

Auto Focus was awesome and so weird to look at him that way now...but of course his cast and crew members on Hogan's Heroes would probably just say "I know No-ssing" about all of his extracurricular activities...

I will give a listen to Prima Donna, thanks for the heads up!

MikeL said:

LOL!  Tell me about it:)  Did you ever see a movie called "Auto Focus"?  It was a biopic about Bob Crane, who played Col. Hogan on "Hogan's Heroes."  He had a rather dark side as well, and it makes me see him in a whole new light whenever I watch reruns of that show.

The song Do You Want To Touch/Oh Yeah has a whole different meaning to me now....

MikeL said:

Hey, you can't help but to like Gary Glitter's music...just try not to dwell too much on him being a pedophile;)

caryn lavender said:

Pass it on, no one should be without the joy of the Butt Rock classification...and don't forget the great Butt Rock bands Ratt, Motley Crue, Slayer and early Butt Rock Hall of Famer Billy Squire...Okay I'll shut up now, I am sure I have offended enough people.

By the way my personal faves are Sweet, Slade, Bowie, Mott The Hoople and I have huge amounts of T-Rex...and yes...even though Gary Glitter is a hugely creepy perv, I still like his music...

trashman said:

haaaaa.  Next time I see my friend I will mention Butt Rock.  love it.

caryn lavender said:

Okay...IMHO...Van Halen = Butt Rock...Poison = Butt Rock...bands with the hair and the spandex and lots of mild rock with chicks crawling on cars in their videos...the song Cherry Pie...all of that to me = Butt Rock...just saying

the keyboard player was good;

Saw Prima Donna in Brussels two weeks ago, good sound, warm and clear, good energy but very average songs besides one or two plus the singer must have watched Billy Idol's videos during kindergarten and prepuberty, smelled like Sunset spirit a bit too much to my tastes ; Try the Mansfields (from the USA) if you like better songs and attitude; I saw Slade 30 years ago and it was full/on rocknroll from begin to end; Coz I love you; Ivan Holder

Not at all IMHO.  I'd say hard rock.

to throw a kink into the discussion.  A friend and I were trying to pigeon hole Van Halen into a genre - they are not heavy metal, not really a hair band, and he said how about Glam rock and it seemed to work.  Never thought of it that way before.

I just read this thread for the first time and MikeL's orginal post brought up "not the 80's metal bands" so it made me smile after the discussion I just wrote about.  

So what say thee - Van Halen - Glam band?  maybe new world Glam?

I'm surprised this thread still gets replies every now and then.

BTW, I'm off to Cleveland tomorrow to see Prima Donna at a venue called Now That's Class.

thanks ya'll. i'm going to take what you've shared and get to it. :)

That all makes sense.  The compilations are more than fair enough compensation for waiting for the next podcast.    

John..I saw you in the Fu**tones in Glasgow many moons ago...good rockin' gig that night. Played with the 'tones in 91 in Edinburgh at the venue - by this time Chris Harlock was on bass and Phil Arriagada on guitar. 'Twas a great gig, but my memories are kind of spoiled by the fact that Mr P kept trying to trade his pussy paisley tele (or strat) for my '63 English baby blue Phantom (rarer than rocking horse shit BTW, 'tho I didn't know it at the time) and he kept hitting on my girl...so yeah, he's a big headed c**t
