The Amboy Dukes

Oh, Mr. Nugent, where did you go wrong? Not long after this, I'd say...

Australia's Finest (Not Counting Radio Birdman)

Bee Gees - Horizontal (1968)

Goin' Back to Massachusetts

Before going down the falsetto-lined road to platinum-selling stardom, the Bee Gees made some really great orchestral pop in the vein of the Zombies, Love, etc. I think it's safe to say that "The Earnest of Being George" is the heaviest thing these guys ever recorded. Yeah.

The Olivia Tremor Control- Music from the unrealized film script, DUSK AT THE CUBIST CASTLE

The Olivia Tremor Control sounds like what the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band would have sounded like if they had decided not to replace Paul McCartney, after his death by car crash, with William "Billy" Shears Campbell.

Muddy Waters - The Chess Box Disc 1 (1947-1954)

"Groanin' and Mumblin'"

This one requires a little skipping around, but for every barroom blues that has not stood the test of time so well, Muddy delivers another song with disgusting fuzzy slide guitar and gutbucket bellowing. My personal highlight would have to be "Standin' Around Crying," which, in addition to the awesome title, features some serious caveman drumming that just may contain the birth of the blast beat, circa 1952. What? These early tracks show why this guy was hero to the Rolling Stones, Black Sabbath and a bunch of other great bands who knew what they were talking about.

Matchstick Men

The debut album of an old English band. This is psychedelic pop from 1968. Pictures of Matchstick Men.
