That's the problem with fucking guitar solos isn't it? - they almost never come out of nowhere first of all - like a punch - and like a violent act feel this irrevocable ...........or express so much, so precisely that they are simultaneously representative of your thoughts and feelings ........I mean does Eddie Van Halen have one of those? ............. Just askin'

Of the many great lines he wrote, "Love's a form.......... of memory loss" is right up there ....also this version has the best screams but it's great in any version..........

RIP John Mayall @ 90........this fantastic, improvisational song - with Eric Clapton's unreal and serpentine playing - is a fitting epitaph.....Mayall would be important just for getting this on record tbh.......

One of those songs that "Classic Rock" radio always missed because they reduced Warren Zevon to like 1 or 2 songs anyway........which is why if you ever meet a younger person who describes their music taste as "Classic Rock" you probably have to put them through a kind of detox and tell them that isn't a genre........it's just a shitty format

Jimmy Cliff - Vietnam
This song has a lyric in it that hits like the percussion rhythm in that it is very striking - and quite unexpected in a way - and hits with a snap like those quite carefully arranged beats........it is in contrast to the buoyancy of the music.........it's one of the great political songs - and your average music fan doesn't even know it at all........or if they do they often just misinterpret it in a way............which I think was Cliff's point since Vietnam had been misunderstood............still, it's a shame about that ...........

RIP Martin Phillipps........I once did a list of the 100 Greatest "Rock" songs 1955 or so through ~ 2006 or 2007 on this site just as a goof.........Pink Frost is on that list and it always would be.......a pretty fine band, especially on singles........an incredibly great song......it's what Rock rarely is.......mysterious......

I'm convinced this song is REALLY important ....although it's not as famous as their other (many) classics on the EP and Vs.........this song has the oddest time signatures.....the drums seem a half beat off but are instead purposely like that......at one point the backing vocals play as a triplet with multiple counterpoint(s) foreground vocals overwhelm the background......the music has a undercurrent part that floats above the vocal line AND yet also below it........the lyrics are stupendous, weird, frightening........the song is beyond disorienting and beyond scary too........like spinning around really fast and then suddenly collapsing and hearing radio static from 1 room away.........it STILL sounds unique 40 years later...... ![:gonemad:](//storage.proboards.com/6692321/images/1i_vReyDmEdV6yn5zMWP.gif)

Hank Wood & The Hammerheads - You Could Have ItThis song goes back to a cheap, almost impossible to find cassette in 2019 but I put the more famous later release on a Best of Year singles list - but either way it's maybe the best Punk Rock song of the 2010s or 2020s ![:uhoh:](//storage.proboards.com/6692321/images/c8bbBnLz3a98Jzy_29H2.gif) What a song .......part Iggy Stooge '73, part Henry Rollins early 80s, part profanity masterclass forever.........

Reading the song title, I was expecting Bee Gees.

Nobody is going to get the joke of me posting this song.........maybe TheAlwaysClassy who I think may be a fan of the - at times - - fucking awesome band............ but trust me it's funny.......... to me anyway.....but I think everything is funny or at least eligible to be made fun of........I am not a real serious man ![:uhoh:](//storage.proboards.com/6692321/images/c8bbBnLz3a98Jzy_29H2.gif)
