the other guys have become locksmiths, sheetrock hangers, co-op grocery store managers, and a clerk for a company that buys and sells enormous earthmovers

Yes! Surprised this one hasn't been offered yet.

This'll be tough, because I could seriously think of 15-20 songs just off the top of my head.

Just give me a day so that I can get everything ripped and assembled.
I'll have it tomorrow morning.

I could up the whole thing for you if you want. It is great.

I nominate "Runaway" as a track candidate.

The Man Don't Give A Fuck

Yeah - I'll take that please!

I can't believe you havent heard it, its better than any of their studio albums by far. The only song that I prefer in its studio form is 'Another Girl Another Planet' - songs like 'The Beast', 'Why Dont You Kill Yourself', 'From Here To Eternity' etc are waaay better on the Peel sessions

The Man Don't Give A Fuck and Rings Around the World come to mind as well.

and ice hockey hair.

That's what I keep hearing.

.... and back on track:

Pagliaro



This is a guy with a string of hits from the 70s - but they're the sort of songs where you'll go "oh shit, he sang THAT?" One of the greatest sheer hitmakers of that decade, and someone who really deserves a much wider audience (or, at least, a single album in CD format or even still in print).

1. Lovin' You Ain't Easy
2. Some Sing, Some Dance
3. What The Hell I Got
4. Louise
5. I Don't Believe It's You
6. Time Race
7. Happy Together
8. Baton Rouge
9. Fou De Toi
10. J'Entends Frapper



RIYL: pop, power pop, classic rock, pop, rock n roll, pop rock, and pop

Fuck yeah, Rads! That Pagliaro mix you made me is aces. People need to hear more of him.

Tony Joe White (born July 23, 1943, Oak Grove, Louisiana) is an American singer-songwriter and guitarist best known for his 1969 hit "Polk Salad Annie", and for "Rainy Night in Georgia" which he wrote but was firstly made popular by Brook Benton, and "Steamy Windows" - a hit for Tina Turner in 1989. "Polk Salad Annie" was also recorded by Elvis Presley.

Nicknamed "the Swamp Fox" in France (according to a European documentary), [1] he is regarded[citation needed] as an original exponent of the sub-genre swamp rock. His songs have been recorded by at least 25 major artists

Tony Joe White has parlayed his songwriting talent into a modestly successful country and rock career in Europe as well as America. Born July 23, 1943, in Goodwill, LA, White was born into a part-Cherokee family. He began working clubs in Texas during the mid-'60s and moved to Nashville by 1968. White's 1969 debut album for Monument, Black and White, featured his Top Ten pop hit "Polk Salad Annie" and another charting single, "Roosevelt and Ira Lee (Night of the Moccasin)." That same year, Dusty Springfield reached the charts with White's "Willie and Laura Mae Jones." Brook Benton recorded a version of White's "Rainy Night in Georgia" that hit number four early in 1970; the song has since become a near-standard with more than 100 credits. White's own "Groupie Girl" began his European success with a short stay on the British charts in 1970.

White moved to Warner Bros. in 1971, but success eluded him on his three albums: Tony Joe White, The Train I'm On, and Homemade Ice Cream. Other stars, however, continued to keep his name on the charts during the 1970s: Elvis charted with "For Ol' Times Sake" and "I've Got a Thing About You Baby" (Top Five on the country charts), and Hank Williams, Jr., took "Rainy Night in Georgia" to number 13 on the country charts. White himself recorded Eyes for 20th Century Fox in 1976, but then disappeared for four years. He signed to Casablanca for 1980's The Real Thang but moved to Columbia in 1983 for Dangerous, which included the modest country hits "The Lady in My Life" and "We Belong Together."

White was inactive through much of the '80s, but worked with Tina Turner on her 1989 Foreign Affair album, writing four songs and playing guitar and harmonica. He released Closer to the Truth a year later for his own Swamp label and toured with Eric Clapton and Joe Cocker to very receptive French crowds (Closer to the Truth has sold 100,000 copies in that country alone). His 1993 album Path of a Decent Groove was released only in France, though Warner's The Best of Tony Joe White earned an American release the same year. Lake Placid Blues (1995) and One Hot July (1998) were Europe-only efforts until 2000, when Hip-O Records brought out One Hot July in the U.S., giving White his first new major-label domestic release in 17 years. But White was just beginning to roll, or reroll, as the case may be. The critically acclaimed The Beginning appeared from Swamp Records in 2001, followed by Heroines, featuring several duets with female vocalists, from Sanctuary in 2004, and a live Austin City Limits concert, Live from Austin, TX, from New West Records in 2006. In 2007 White released another live recording, Take Home the Swamp, as well as the compilation Introduction to Tony Joe White.

Let me understand this; you're talking about Michel Pagliaro? Cheesy (at least that's what I thought in HS) French Canadian "rocker" with a string of hits in Quebec? The guy who sang J'entends Frapper? Is that who we're talking about?

So those aren't band names then.

OK, I think it's the perfect time for someone to do some 10cc.

"There is no group more mythical than Faust," wrote Julian Cope in his book Krautrocksampler, which detailed the pivotal influence the German band exerted over the development of ambient and industrial textures. Producer/overseer Uwe Nettelbeck, a onetime music journalist, formed Faust in Wumme, Germany, in 1971 with founding members Hans Joachim Irmler, Jean Hervé Peron, Werner "Zappi" Diermaier, Rudolf Sosna, Gunther Wusthoff, and Armulf Meifert. Upon receiving advance money from their label, Nettelbeck converted an old schoolhouse into a recording studio, where the group spent the first several months of its existence in almost total isolation, honing its unique cacophonous sound with the aid of occasional guests like minimalist composer Tony Conrad and members of Slapp Happy.

Issued on clear vinyl in a transparent sleeve, Faust's eponymously titled debut LP surfaced in 1971. Although sales were notoriously bad, the album -- a noisy sound collage of cut-and-paste musical fragments -- did earn the group a solid cult following. Another lavishly packaged work, Faust So Far, followed in 1972, and earned the group a contract with Virgin, which issued 1973's The Faust Tapes -- a fan-assembled collection of home recordings -- for about the price of a single, a marketing ploy that earned considerable media interest. After Outside the Dream Syndicate, a collaboration with Tony Conrad, Faust released 1973's Faust IV, a commercial failure that resulted in the loss of their contract with Virgin, which refused to release their planned fifth long-player.

When Nettelbeck turned his focus away from the group, Faust disbanded in 1975, and the members scattered throughout Germany. However, after more than a decade of playing together in various incarnations, Faust officially reunited around the nucleus of Irmler, Peron, and Diermaier for a handful of European performances at the outset of the 1990s. In 1993, they made their first-ever U.S. live appearance backing Conrad, followed by a series of other stateside performances. After several live releases, a pair of new studio albums, Rien and You Know FaUSt, followed in 1996. Ravvivando appeared three years later.
