Hmmm...

I think it's interesting that when people list their all time favorite
kick-*ss, gut-wrenching, shout-at-the-top-of-your-lungs classic, we
get songs like "Stand By Me" and "New Frontier". I guess I never saw
songs like that in this context.

Alan S.

    Yeah!  I sort of think of gut-wrenching classics as being the sort
    of music that you leap about your room lip-syncing the words to,
    while performing infinitely complex air-guitar riffs :-)

    Bob

    
    	What makes these songs so special? Why does a particular song
    give you such a kick? Someone suggested it was anything that made
    him jump on the cat whilst strumming away on an imaginary guitar.
    
    	I'm sure everybody has a different record for different modes,
    for example when I've had a really bad day, I go home and put any
    of the Stranglers first 5 albums on and swear at the walls alot,
    and afterwards I feal much better. Sometimes one of Joe Jacksons
    first albums gets me going when I get pissed of with particular
    people.
    	Or Power in the Darkness by Tom Robinson when I'm feeling in
    a righteous mood.
    	Or Tracks of my Tears by Smokey Robinson when I'm sad ( get
    the violins out people.)

    Heard on the radio this morning, that song of songs,
    
    "Jilted John" by Jilted John    
    ============================
    
    "Ive been going out with a girl,"
    "Her name is Julie"
    "But last night she said to me while we were watching telly"
    "And this is what she said"
    
    "John I love you, but theres this bloke I fancy"
    "I dont want to two time you, so this is the end for you and me"
    
    "I was so upset that I cried, all the way to the chip shop"
    "But when I got there was Gordon standing at the bus stop"
    "And guess who was with him.."
    "Yeah Julie, and they were laughing at me"
    
    "Oh she is cruel and heartless,"
    "Two packed me for Gordon"
    "just cos hes better looking than me"
    "just cos hes cool and trendy"
    
    "But I know hes a moron"
    "Gordon is a moron"
    "Gordon is a moron"
    "Gordon is a moron"
    

    "Shes a tart, he's a creep"
    "She thinks shes smart, hes very cheap"
    "Yeah yeah, its not fair"    
    "Yeah yeah, its not fair"    
                                 
    
    Or something like that. Thanks for listening...I needed to get
    that out of my system.  *8^)
    
    Ian.

    
    On a par with John Otway's "REALLY Free" i think !!
    
    John

    
    	And almost as good as Ottway and Barratts (sp?)
    
    "Beware of the flowers cos i'm sure they're going to get you...Yeah"

Just remembered I missed abit so here it is...
    
    "Whos this bloke? I asked her"
    "Gordon she replied"
    "Not that puff I said dismayed"
    "Yes, but hes no puff she cried...Hes more of a man than youll ever
    be"
    
    "Oh she is cruel and heartless "
    etc.

	 I know . I'll get my mate Barry on to 'im . He'll

	Haven't heard it yet Michael, so it can't be in the German
    	charts yet (give it time). But I like Billy McKenzie's voice
    	so it'll probably be OK, is it a radically different version??

    re. 75  -  Surprisingly, it's actually not that different from the
    original.  Almost the same guitar rif/sound, although (as you might
    expect) McKenzie gets a wee bit carried away towards the end.
    
    It's good though.

>    'Girl Of My Dreams'  	  Brahms Tchaikovsky

Also, from that same album, "Turn On The Lights"

"Turn on the lights, turn on the lights,
There's gonna be a hell of a fight,
Turn on the lights, turn on the lights,
We're gonna wreck the place tonight!"

This one will make you jump up and down and dance and sweat and.....
well, it's just a great gut-wrenching rock and roll song!

    Mr Turner, you sure spat a bootful there!!!! I'll go for all that
    lot, plus these little crackers

    Quicksand - Bowie
    Runaway Boys - Stray Cats
    20 Rock'n'roll Classics / 14 Rhythm & Beat Greats - Thee Milkshakes

    God Save The Queen - Sex Pistols

    Idiot Wind (live off Hard Rain) - Bob Dylan
    Voodoo Chile (Slight return) - Hendrix. The first time I heard this
    I was about 14, it just blew me away (man). Some of the guitar playing
    on it literally *scared* me, it was so far removed from anything
    else I'd heard before. A classic til my dyin day, folks.
    The only tune I'd heard before this that positively disturbed me
    was Paint it Black - Stones. Another cracker......
    
    Theres so many of these, I could list(en) all day......working sure
    gets in the way, dont it????

    How could I forget The Doors
    I love all the long songs that close their lp's, like When the Musics
    Over, The End, and, my favourite, Soft Parade. Also off the same
    lp, Wishful Sinful - what a *beautiful* arrangement.

    ...and not forgetting:
    
    Baby Please Don't Go - Them
    Homework - Nine Below Zero
    Can't Stop - That Petrol Emotion
    Till The End Of The Day - The Kinks
    I Don't Want To Go To Chelsea - Elvis Costello & the Attractions
    etc. etc. ad infinitum

    Mars Bars - the Undertones. This song contains a classic set of
    lyrics - To Patrick Moore and David Bowie
             And all the other stars
             Theres evidence here to show you
             That theres life on Mars
    (chorus) I need a Mars Bar........ etc
    
    Also a version of Run through the Jungle, an old Creedence Clearwater
    Revival song as done by the Gun Club - is anyone else aware of this
    band? They play what I can only describe as psychocountry to the
    Cramps psychorocknroll. Well worth checking out if you like a bit
    of graunch!

of Ivy", both off their first album.

    Bob

    RE:5
    "NO FEELINGS" by the Pistols!! definitely. Particularly the ending
    a true classic rotten performance.
                                      

	I think that just about _anything_ by KILLING JOKE would fit
	into this category...80's 80's aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
