The Rolling Stones – Undercover of the Night
This is sounding very Combat Rock-era Clash to me – which is a good thing. That big, popping bass is not something I usually associate with the Stones. Tasty trademark doo doo doo doo doo doo dahs. Rewind: The intro is feeling Prince. Keith pulls out another riff. Mick sings it with gusto. Not up for a lyrical deep dive, but this is a track I could, and will, go back to. Thanks for the reminder.
Green Day – American Idiot
Power pop/punk at its finest – building on the Buzzcocks’ legacy (soundwise). “Everybody do the propaganda.” Wonder if the stage show was any good. (“Subliminal, in an unnoticeable way” -TMBG)
Short, sharp shock. Dig it.
RS – A hit that I need to go back and start listening to the Stones again. They were always number 1 or 2 on the rotation and I think I just got burnt out. I have been hitting Pink Floyd on the regular lately. Dark Side, Animals, and Wish you were here. When I was super young, I would play the albums, Flowers, Satanic Majesty’s Request and Beggar’s Banquet.
Green Day – Was never my first choice. I eventually came around and borrowed some albums. I believe I own this one. I think they are good but I put them in the same category as the Foo Fighters. I don’t understand the hype. (This doesn’t mean I don’t think they are talented, I found I really liked the acoustic versions of Foo Fighters songs better.) Green Day lyrically I find more interesting. Like most things, I feel they got to close to the pop edge to appeal to a broader audience. Minority is probably my most played track.
