Blister in the Sun - Violent Femmes

Love that song! It's actually very popular in my neck of the woods.

My favorite song -

Old Hat by Harvey Danger

Also;

New York City - by C.U.B (but I like the cover by They Might Be Giants best)

 

[DaisyLynn]

My favorite song from them, and one of my favorite videos is Hoppipolla. I have to put a link to it. The video is so good...

Blister in the Sun is popular here too! Comes on the radio fairly often, believe it or not. Reminds me of junior high...you were not cool unless you liked the Violet Femmes.

[Soldier's*Sweeties]

Clumsy-Our Lady Peace
Innocent-Fuel

 

[Praying Colonel]

Unless you lived in Pittsburgh or the Ohio Valley in the early 80s, you probably don't know the song Ah! Leah! by Donnie Iris. Excellent power pop/New Wave song that always takes me back to my high school days when I hear it.

That's a great song! Actually saw a Youtube video recently of a toddler singing it... he did a great job too!

No More Words--Yello

Probably NOT the "No More Words" most of you "heard" in your head when you read it.

 

[Liberty Belle]

Everything Touches Everything - These United States

Oh Babe What Would You Say - Hurricane Smith

Road to Hell - Chris Rea

Happy When it Rains - Jesus and Mary Chain (not that uncommon, but rarely run into people who've heard it).

Angel from Montgomery - John Prine and Bonnie Rait

Wishing the Days Away - Billy Bragg

You Dirty Rat - Scruffy the Cat

I'm a Man you don't Meet Everyday and Summer in Siam and Fiesta- The Pogues (actually love almost all Pogues songs and seems like no one ever
knows them).

And then there's all the Bob Dylan songs I love (Don't Think Twice, It's Alright, Desolation Row, Tangled up in Blue, I'll Remember You, Queen Jane Aproximately...). If you like Bob Dylan, you've heard them. If not, you probably haven't.

I know there are tons more, but I'll stop now.

I love that song, too!!!


My favorite song that nobody knows is P.A.S.S.I.O.N. by a band called Rythm Syndicate (yes, the misspelling is correct... that sounds weird. LOL.) It was hugely popular circa 1990 and NOBODY I know knows this song. I flippin' LOVE it and it's not available anywhere.
