Yes, it seems like I have contracted dyslexia, for some reason it appeared you posted this yesterday and it was too late to edit it without it appearing unedited. So I thaught AdrianII must think I said something smart somewhere and makes a witty reply nobody and most of all us don't get. They should pay me for this stuff.

Adrian, into rock and roll?

(I have nothing to contribute

)

I always thought this song rocked eighteen times harder than it ought to. It's not old-fashioned, though, and the video has nothing to with the band (tribute video by some student or another). But you still get a sense of just how badass the song is.

Yeah. As long as it's real. Not 'deep' or sentimental. But raw, energetic, smutty, beyond juvenile concerns and seductive in a grown-up, look at me I spell trouble kind of way.

That clear enough?

Oh, and I haven't been drinking.

P.S. Nice score Lemur.

Wow... that's actually really good.

I been postin' these for a while now. But what the hell? Once more.

The MC5: Kick Out the Jams, Motha *****!

Otis Redding: Ready, Steady, Go! It's a two-part, ass-kickin' performance (don't bother watching the intro, though; they ruin a perfectly good song with some kind of wierd, cheezy mid-60's pop video. Rest is good, though.

The Electric Flag: Killing Floor. A sound-only "video," but a good rockin' song nonetheless.

p.s. It's about damn time we had a thread like this.

I finally located a copy of that song, Super Bon Bon, that actually has the band in the video. Not that there's anything wrong with Brandon Lee, but still.

Did somebody mention Bruce Springsteen?

Earlier this year some nice chap put up his entire, legendary old skool show YouTube.

Raw energetic, and juvenile (yay!)

I always thought Weezer's Hash Pipe rocked pretty darn hard.

-edit-

And Cracker's Low is great. I fell for it the minute I heard the line comparing being in love to being "like some junkie cosmonaut."
