The Clash - I Fought the law Red House Painters - All Mixed Up Galaxie 500 - Don't Let Our Youth Go to Waste Devo's - Secret Agent Man I could play this game for hours, but I've got work to attend to... What was said about Dylan covers can also be said about Daniel Johnston covers, but its kind of an unfair comparison -- what with covering bands recording in studios, with professional instruments, in multiple takes, not being schizophrenic, and all that.

That always struck me as every bit as much a manifesto of assualt upon what we now call "classic rock" as "No Elvis, Beatles or The Rolling Stones/In 1977" ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 11 Feb 2008 20:08:20 -0800 (PST) From: Phil Fleming Subject: [loud-fans] Sweet Replacements My three mats faves: 1. Bastards Of Young 2. The Ledge 3. Merry Go Round (IMO, the only highlight of All Shook Down) runners up: 1. Alex Chilton 2. Anywhere's Better Than Here (I happened to like Don't Tell A Soul) 3. I'll Be You AND.... I would've trimmed three songs from GIRLFRIEND... but I thought ALTERED BEAST would've made a great 4-track Maxi Single. I wouldn't touch anything on 100% FUN. BLUE SKY ON MARS... 2 track single. Juliana Hatfield would be QUEEN of the EPs. IMO, she's only delivered two solid full-lengths... both of which were released in the 21st century. - --- Miles Goosens wrote: > Andy made reference to it earlier - years ago, I was > saying LET IT BE would have been a great EP, and I > listed "Answering Machine" among the throwaways. > > A few relistens later, I was very wrong about that, > and said so.
