Ana-one, Ana-two musical memes

[gridlore]

1. Ozzy Osbourne - Bark at the Moon Good solid hard rock/metal. Ozzy before he was a complete burnout sitcom father.

2. Lynyrd Skynard - Gimme Three Steps Good ol' Southern rock from the masters of the genre. I listened to Skynard a lot when I was in the Army.

3. The Who - Eminence Front Not my favorite Who song, but a good one. kshandra loves this one, and was thrilled when they played it at the concert a couple of years ago.

4. Kansas - Point of Know Return Blame isomeme for my enjoyment of Kansas. I think "Point of Know Return" was the first album cover I ever wanted a tattoo of on my back.

5. Metallica - Tuesday's Gone One of my favorite bands covering Lynyrd Skynard. This was recorded as part of a jam session at a radio station. Playing along with Metallica are John Popper (Blues Traveller) and Les Claypool (Primus) among others. This is off the Garage, Inc album, which is nothing but covers of their favorite tunes.

6. House of Pain - Jump Around Hey, I like some rap. This is one of them.

7. Bob Kanefsky - Mutant Generations Kanefsky is the terror of filkers. You can debut a new song, and fifteen minutes later he will have a parody ready. This song is about the biological oddness of Star Trek

8. The Arrogant Worms - Malcom I can't even remember who it was who turned me on to the excellent Canadian music scene, but I've no begun listing to bands like Captain Tractor, Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie, and The Arrogant Worms. The only thing you need to know about the song is this line:

"Malcom solves his problems with a chainsaw, and he never has the same problem twice."

9. Pat Travers Band - Boom Boom (Out Go The Lights Really dating myself with this one. Great party song.

10. 'til Tuesday - Voices Carry Yes, I do remember the 80s as more than the times I either dressed as a bush or in tie-dyed clothes. This was a very strong song then, and remains so now.
