what are your favourite albums, the ones that every track is good and you can listen to again and again!

or this

check out this guy

You can never hear everything. Period. Even accounting for released material that's yet to be re-discovered, there are literally tons of unreleased reels, acetates etc., still out there. Hot gear turning up all the time! I can't imagine it ever drying up - least, I hope it never does!!!

Black Lips have 'Spidey's Curse' catchy little song about Peter Parker.

Ken , wow , this looks great. A bit like Vampirella , when she gets her comeuppance on would - be "She's just a GIRL!" attackers...In the last panel , the Priest looks VERY much like Question Mark. I just saw him two weeks ago , so I remember his visage well. What I could see of it.

Well, and to toot my own horn... Lots of music stuff in my own comic.  Here's  page from my first issue drawn by Michael Neno.  The main character for these stories is a monster hunting "priest" who plays in a rock band and scours seedy bars for creatures of the night.  (I told Michael to borrow from Joey Ramone and Question Mark for the character's general appearance.)

 

Ken , I've got that Marvel  Alice Cooper comic book. It's great ! It's done in an EC Horror / Mad comics style , with similar attention to detail. Gunther Toody and Francis Muldoon from "Car 54 , Where are You" even appear in one panel...   I happen to know the guy who created the "Howlin' Wolf" character you mention , BUT , I scarcely see him , anymore , and I think he'd be glad that someone even knew where he got the name !  Another company did an Alice Cooper comic book tie - in with his low - key return to form CD "The Last Temptation" . OK, "lOST IN aMERICA " WAS'NT SO LOW KEY , WITH THE INCLUSION ON " BEAVIS AND BUTTHEAD" , whom Alice said he wrote the song for , anyway.

Alice Cooper had a one shot deal with marvel in the late 70s.

 

There was a great Spider-Man comic in the 80s where he was singing an Elvis Costello song.  I can't remember which one, but I remember as a kid it was the first time I had heard of him.  (Not long afterwards, Mad did a parody of him where they called him Elfish Costello.)

 

Marvel did a REALLY bad character in the 90s who was named after Howlin' Wolf. He... uh... turned into a wolf.

 

It was either the Statics or the 145s that did a song about the Human Torch in the 90s that was really funny.

Belsen was exactly that John, Lydon was appalled when the rest of the Pistols re-recorded it with Ronnie Biggs. The swastika was worn by 70s punks in England to shock and not as any political statement. A friend of mine wore one, he was on holiday(Spain I think in 79/80) and was wearing it at dinner, a family were eating their food opposite when the Dad of the family made them spit their food out, my mate realised they were Jewish and had been wrongly given pork. He said that he felt sick and never wore it again, he was wearing it purely as a Pistols fan to look like Sid. Siouxsie wore a lot of swastikas at the time as well although, outside of London, I dont think anybody else really took it up. none of the punks i knew wore it, the gay cowboys t-shirt was the big favourite!

Johnny , Good ones. Tho' I get the feeling "Belsen" was written with very dry sarcasm as an anti - Nazi /NF song. When Lydon says "JOIN THE ARMY ! BE A MAN !" , then , you can really hear the venom start to boil. Sid took a songrwriting credit , but , Johnny later claimed he let him have it , because he needed the money. Sid got a little TOO into the Swastika bit (Did he ever take that shirt off?), for which he got his ass beat , for wearing said T- Shirt in a Jewish neighborhood. But , while I think Lydon's politics were complex , Sid did'nt really seem to have any. A recent article in "The Chicago Reader" tried to say "Anarchy in The UK" WAS NOT A POLITICAL SONG......HUHN ?!!!!

BTW I'm really not into politics , just citing an example.

"BELSEN WAS A GAS"   SeX PisToLs

"HOMOSEXUAl" Angry Samoans

"Kill The Children, Save The Food" by GG Alin's pure vitriol, but I think it was a sarcastic dig at Live Aid and fashionable causes generally. It's quite Stonesy. I love the Angry Samoans, they're so peurile as well as funny. Listen to the Ballad of Jerry Curlan, which is just pure schoolboy humour. I even wonder why they weren't sued for libel, nor Anal Cunt either?

The Frankenstein Five , from Canada , eh? I booked , or co - booked , you guys in Chicago , with Lava Sutra , many years ago... Yeah , The New Fugitives got away with murder , but I think they figured that not many people were going to hear it. "When the rumors start around that I did it to my girl last night.  When all we did , that time , was watch the movies and go home and fight ! THAT'S QUEER !". iT'S LIKE THAT SONG "LISTEN GIRL" , " I'll shoot YOU in the head !!".
"I Found a Peanut " by the mighty ,mighty Thee Midniters, ranks up there with "Spazz" , tho' it's not really offensive to any particular group...... JOHN.

I haven't seen them mentioned yet, but I'll have to say pretty much the entire Mentors catalog.

Wow !!! This is something I've been dreaming of for years too but it seems such a pain in the ass !!!

Man, I mean : running this the right way looks like a full time job...and I guess you must be ready to loose hair, sleep and money !!!

But it must be such a great adventure !!!

By the way, if you're looking for djs or anything... ;)

no she is not this super popular. but one of her song was in the film Coffee and Cicarets. But I agree she dosent fit to modern "pop" music..

and Mina this adolf hitler song kicks ass lol

Of course! Holly Golightly can do no wrong, in my opinion (she was in Thee Headcoatees, after all!), but is she really "popular"? Has any of her stuff ever reached the charts? We are talking about POP music here, right?

Axel Björnsson said:

since the discussion have changed (to better) than I'm gonna post some modern pop that I like.

This chick Holly Golightly is pretty wicked.. Some of her song are nice "garage". She have defenitly influenced this popular english chicks with this retro sound like Amy Winehouse and the other I forgot the name....

I kinda like this, or maybe I just like the girl.
