tribal dance and twilight zone were also beauties

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

I suggest Bellbottoms by Jon Spencers Blues Explosion



Yours?

That is their shittest song.

I would say 2 kinds of love, full grown or bent summed them up better for me. Bellbottoms sits on a different plain of disco shit biscuits.

 

[Idaho]

Teenage Riot - Sonic Youth ?

 

[twistedAM]

Teenage Kicks.

Offhand I'm not sure if I even know any other songs by them, but I'd still say that I liked them just because of that song.

It's not even the best song of the EP. The Undertones were potentially a much better sarcastic punk band hat that song suggests.

 

[Pieface]

I'm not too fond of Bellbottoms either. People always go on about that one. There's loads on Now I Got Worry that are much better.

 

[electrogirl]

Elton JOhn-Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.

Not really, that's just my favourite EJ song.


I don't really understand the question.

I just don't think it sums up the Blues Explosion in one five minute nutshell either.
Sorry jefe. Good idea for a thread but not a great lead example and most people seem to think it's "what's the best song by ???" thread.

 

[ChrisFilter]

Bored - Deftones

 

[The_Reverend_M]

To be fair, it's a fucking hard track to dance to

Maybe I should've put "joyous/happy/excited" rather than "dancing"

 

[butchersapron]

Mclusky - Lightsabre Cocksucking Blues?

'flava'?

 

[El Jefe]

Mclusky - Lightsabre Cocksucking Blues?

Was just about to post that. Everything else they did was marvellous, but they could still have quit after that track and won.

yup, although I do love bellbottoms

 

[El Jefe]

But Bellbottoms is just so EPIC.

 

[butchersapron]

World Dom - Asbestos Lead Asbestos?

 

[ouchmonkey]

World Dom - Asbestos Lead Asbestos?

yes!

 

[twistedAM]

Mclusky - Lightsabre Cocksucking Blues?

Nail on head with that one. I think it just distils what they're all bout in a two minute blast or however short it took.
I'd probably list Alan Is a Cowboy Killer as my favourite mclusky track but LCB has them in a nutshell.

 

[butchersapron]

Fuck they were good

 

[damnhippie]

'sliver' by nirvana

catchy pop song/agonised vocals/walloping drums/abrasive guitars (well by most people's standards )/doesn't sound out of place in a stadium/dead simple...

and so on.

ironically Teen Spirit and the whole of nevermind is not really a representation of what they were.

Thread back on track

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

Live Wire by Naked Raygun would be another one of mine. Awesome tune from a band that lost the plot a bit imo.

 

[Flashman]

Fight the Power - PE

 

[El Jefe]

Fuck they were good

I was at their farewell gig, too drunk to absorb the fact it was their farewell gig

Treason was better

 

[SpookyFrank]

The Beatles- Mr Blue Sky

 

[SpookyFrank]

Led Zeppelin- Immigrant song. Visceral, loud and heroically brainless.

 

[El Jefe]

Trevhagl. Visceral, loud and heroically brainless.

corrected

 

[isitme]

The Smiths - William
