hello,

a couple years ago, maybe, heard on a GaragePunk Podcast show a cover of VU's "Guess I'm Falling In Love"... I can't find it anywhere now. Anyone have a clue about that cover? It was a version with lyrics.

thanks in advance...

Both great sounding organs...Continental is a classic...but the Yamaha Yc series are some underated garage jems. Yamaha's can still be had for next to nothing, so I'm a Yamaha man.

VOX CONTINENTAL or YAMAHA YC20???

Farewell- thanks for all of the great tunes.

The Clash are Alternative. They headlined the US Festival on New Wave Day. Should I Stay or Should I Go was to the 80s what Smells Like Teen Spirit was to the 90s.

I can't believe I made it to the end of this thread! The problem with this debate is that the terms are not defined, and in the case of punk, not definable. This is not a winnable argument for either side. For the term "punk" you may as well substitute some foreign word that none of us can define. We've all got our ideas about what it means based on our experience, and it is going to be different inside each of our heads. It makes sense for us to say they are/were punk to me. But that's it. My personal position with The Clash is that there is something different about them, even the radio hits, that made me want to find out more about them. I used to hear them on the radio and everytime they came on, I would wonder who it was, until I went and found them. They opened up most of the rest of the punk rock world to me. Love every record (excluding the unmentionable one). Some songs that don't sound very punk to me don't make them less of a punk band to me any more than the Villiage People's "Food Fight" song makes them a punk band. Billy

I think people are trying too hard to classify each records sound as punk or not. Sure London Calling is a "rock and roll" record by todays standards but so is Never Mind The Bullocks. I consider the Clash a punk band. I consider their records punk as well. The albums may not fit the stereotypes that have developed of what punk is now, but then? I think they were redefining punk in their time. I sometimes think people (myself included) get wrapped up in hardcore as true punk and occasionally dismiss anything lacking its aggressiveness. Just my two cents. X are considered one of the great punk bands and they don't fit the stereotypes either which suits me just fine. Great topic.

Had no idea that even VOX Phantoms had imitations. Wow.

Over the Falls - Primus (or Tommy the Cat, Les Claypool is THE man!)
Jimbo Song - Reverend Horton Heat
Got the Time - Anthrax
Fireball - Deep Purple
any version of Pipeline
and, yeah.. John Entwistle

What is amazing is that this list is so vast and barely any duplicates! Except for the hands down agreement that John Entwhistle needs to be represented! I am compiling all my lists and will post again for a pick of the top 40 from that! And thanks everyone for not being snobby about this! I know this can easily be that type of topic! You all just made it a great discussion!

More of a guilty pleasure than anything but I really loved the bass on "Blood and Roses" by the Smithereens when I first heard it on the radio (KJET Tomorrow's Hits - TODAY). I also enjoy the bass on 96 Tears.

That there japo-nese cover was some cool silly fun, I dug it too. Bass lines hmm a few quick ones (a wee bit random): Buena - Morphine (2 string fretless slide bass no less) Planet queen - T-Rex Ode to a Black man - Dirtbombs Ghost Town - The Specials Shiverin' In the corner- Amazing Royal Crowns power chord hack said:

Yeah man, that was actually a compliment. I like that particular version!

The whole fuckin' album 'Teminal Boredom' by the Japanese band 'The Registrators'. An absolutely amazing bass player and an album full of bass runs, walking up and down the scales. The later releases which calmed down a bit and got a lil more poppie are still great albums but as far as i'm concerened 'Terminal Boredom' is one of the finest examples of bass playing in Rock n Roll music.
And speaking of Japanese bands...'Teengenerate' isn't shabby also!

Nice, glad to get some classics in there! The more well rounded the better! Go go go!

That's what smells the most from those turds. The --Too bad some of ya gotta die but really were a village here, damn it Barry Manillo and ABBA sold alot of records and people drove to work every day listening to them on the radio. How about 100 real rockers putting out a song, or a statement against the maddness, you tube viral video just waiting to puck blood on their esteemed beautiful persons. Rockin Rod Strychnine said:

Anybody know how many times they've been nominated and turned down? Just curious. Would've been nice to see them get in during Ron Ashton's lifetime.

Haha! Yes.. unfortunately that didn't happen.

Hope Iggy pukes blood on Jann Wenner's tux.

One of the band i played with ! (replace the bassplayer) : The Four Slicks :

Here's the version by Herman's Hermits since it wasn't included on that 8track thing

Would have been nice if he'd actualy put these in chronological order.

Even though it was first sung by Frankie Laine and a cover done by Gene Vincent, The Teddy Boys actually got their version from Herman's Hermits of all places. All that middle part like Like a Demon, that ain't in any of the rock and roll versions. kopper said:

Wasn't "Jezebel" originally done by the Teddy Boys on the Garage Punk Unknowns (Crypt) comps?
