Are you talking Roller Derby? Because, at least the derby players I've met (Rat City Rollers), they are very receptive to punk sounds be it garage or 77 or hardcore and anything in between, and can be appreciative of the roots like Link Ray or Bo Diddley. If you were on a long drive with a soft ball team, it'd probably be a different story. km said:

Awww shit, I miss the days of mixtapes! That's why I love the podcasts here, it's my new supply of mixtapes from a grip of people with impeccable taste! (Hell, I even have "rewind" to give a good song a second listen!)

I play derby and I am on the road a lot with teammates, and have found that people are more receptive to the GPN podcasts or the contents of my ipod on road trips rather than parties. There is less distraction in the car and once people get into that "long drive mode" I think it makes them more receptive to new stuff. Especially if it has a theme.

But no one has fallen all over themselves about it either. I was hooked from the first podcast I heard here. I was a lucky kid though, my dad has always been a big music nerd with great taste, so I grew up being exposed to new and crazy shit all the time and it totally broadened my taste. Otherwise who knows, I'd probably be listening to the Killers right now (retch!) I can't even imagine. That shit all sounds like commercials to me, makes me want to sleep!

But yeah, I've mostly given up... but I do try to convert people who like a lot of the "precursor" stuff I listened to for years.

I know this will sound stupid, but because of Happy Days, I got introduced to Rock Around the Clock (yeah, I watched it when it first came on and that was the theme). Before that, I liked CCR, which as far as I'm concerned was the closest thing to rock and roll when it came to the mainstream. So it must have been that drum beat and guitar that got me to liking Bill Haley cuz except for CCR, I liked Nuthin'. Can you imagine trying to convert Kids to Bill Haley or Buddy Holly when KC and the Sunshine band were the Shit? I'm being sarcastic of course. I thought Buddy Holly was awesome and I was only 11. What's wrong with me? I didn't like the BEE GEES?

Yes,I agree though Pixies has been a great band. This reminded me to another Yardbirds cover,but a cool one:

I've just listened at this awful cover of Yardbird's "Evil Hearted You"...Black Francis' voice sounds like he cries scared, and the choice to translate lyrics in spanish is, in my opinion, unhappy. It's doubtless worst cover I ever heared.

i've got a lot of fun to watch again that stuff... i love the stones "sympathy for the devil" at the rock'n'roll circus... in the same way, the "sympathy..." in hyde park (a 1969' video) is great too !

I believe The Who's management suggested that the show be released as 'The Who's Rock n' Roll Circus - guest starring The Rolling Stones' - but the Stones declined...whatever, The Who completely blew them out of their own circus tent

great stuff right!?!.....the forgiven part is so amazing....totally an anti-church reference. classic

This was their first mini Rock Opera. Kit Lambert pushed Pete into writing something other than a one-minute pop song and this was the result. You are forgiv-en!!!!!

I've never heard 'em. But, more importantly, never be ashamed of what bands you dig! No apologies are necessary for that.

I kinda like Oasis too....as far as current (if they still are around) bands go, they are better than pretty well anything on the major labels. Plus they have some pretty cool songs and they certainly have the attitude. But saying that, it's not something i listen to very often...but when the mood strikes, they fit.

Yes I like them very much though I prefer the firsts albums..especially in singles outtakes
there was their best stuff for me.
The one with that Slade cover "Cum on feel the noize" or "D'you know what I mean".
Love their wall-of-guitar sound.there's a great work behind..
I like Blur too,"Modern life is rubbish" is a great album.
OK,this bands are sold to business but their music is not so far from Stones,Who,Small Faces and 60's..

im slightly ashamed to admit that i like oasis... every other big "rock star" band i reallly do fucking hate but there is something about oasis that i like. And i do realise this is the wrong place to discuss such a band,,, but i think they made some mint tunes.of course they made alot of shite as well but there are at least id say 15 tunes that i think are dead good. maybe its just cos im from manchester... the importance of being idle i proper dig that tune. they are pretty much the only massive mainstream band i like so please dont start saying "ooooo u tit" or anything. i cant help it oasis just sound good to me. the first album and some of their ealry b sides i reckon is their best stuff..... ANYBODY ELSE FEEL THE SAME OR DO YOU ALL HATE it?????

Yeah I really love Japan-english and Macaroni-english makes me laugh... OCEAN PALACE said:

i like it when people sing with their own voice. I think most of the time it sounds a bit silly if a person starts putting on an accent.

Real cool ones, didn't know about them!! FICHI! Lubna Barracuda! said:

Boohoos!

Guitars:
Gretsch 6119 Tennesee Rose, changed the guts out of it, pups etc.
Tele - US Made late 90's model, probably my most used guitar currently.
MIJ Strat - Don't seem to use this too much but you always need a strat + a fuzz face.
Burns 12 String - Love this guitar. Jangles quite nicely , it also holds it's tune incredibly well.
Maton EB Electric - Latest edition, a vintage 60's Australian built guitar. Does the garage tone quite well.

Amps:
Fender Twin Reverb 65RI
Hot Rod 2x12 Deville
Blues Junior

I'm on the market for a Silvertone 1448, Vox AC30 & a Ep8 ( or there abouts ) Tiesco hollowbody. I'm thinking of offloading the Deville even though it's quite the amp. I see to alternate through pedals which I have way to many. These days I mostly use a Boss SD-1, Baja Bone Bender, MXR Line Driver & A Digitech Delay.

Yeah all of the songs are just perfect.Wasted,fix me,nervous and i've had it.What else do you need? Wingo said:

I like Keith, but I think all of them were good in their own way. I'll never get enough of the nervous breakdown ep though.

I am an animal.And we all fall down like chocolate soldiers,after world war 3. whatwave dave said:

Try to find their very first LP, We Are....The League it's the best one, all downhill after the first LP unfortunatly. You're probably the only 17 year old in the world that appreciates The League!!!! Giannis KRI said:

I know man.I understand.I am still seventeen and i live in crete.There is no way i could have seen them,but for a period, after listening to so what,i was only listening the league.For about 6 months.And god damn it i only have very few singles 'cause they are hard to find.

whatwave dave said:

All kidding aside, it really was one of those shows that you just never forget...before i saw the Anti Nowhere League, didn't have a clue who they were...next day, playing the shit out of that LP!!! They sure blew away the UK Subs whom they were opening for that nite!!!

It must have been a lifetime experience.

It's FUCKING GENIUS!!!!!!

Had me rolling on the floor and brought back a lotta memories!!! Saw these guys in 82 right around the time of this vid and they were exactly like that on stage!! Total hilarity and only time i ever saw people in the crowd gobbing at a band cause the band asked for it! And that was in boring London Ontario Canada....bring on some more Anti Nowhere League!!!

Search and destroy, The Stooges!

you guys rule

Right this minute it is Hank C burnette - spinning rock boogie,
