    I was only halfway through the list before I was saying
    "Oldie McOld".

    Isn't it, though? *admires*

    Substance, do you think I would like any of the songs I don't know? I'm sure you can guess which those are. (Hint: It's not stuff like The Beastie Boys or KC.)

    Nothing on the list is THAT grating or weird, maybe with the exception of Robert Wyatt, who is a loopy jazzy hippie paraplegic communist. I can see why a listener would get impatient with it. Nation of Ulysses were not especially melodious, but check out these lyrics:

    I'm not talking about a Beatle's song
    Written 100 years before I was born
    They're all talking about the round and round
    But who's got the real anti-parent culture sound?

    Probably the most successful piece of art on the list discounting Mr. von Karajan covering that Beethoven dude is Shoot Out the Lights.

    Of course now that I think of it Shoot Out the Lights has an absolutely ear-gouging solo...

    Who did that song originally? I had never heard it before. I like it. I didn't even mind the guitar solo, which I had to hear as soon as you said it was ear-gouging. Oh wait...I spoke too soon. Yes, there it is. Yeah...no. That's not great.

    Well, anyway, I like the song. So I may get myself another version.

    Guns, we don't like to use them
    Unless, our enemies choose them

    I saw Kool Moe Dee in Salinas, CA. He opened for Ice T.

    I'm getting older too, as Stevie would say.

    Shoot Out the Lights is a Richard Thompson song. He is a god.

    For the sake of your immortal soul, I sincerely hope you didn't pay for that crap.

    Ha ha ha.

    Shoot Out the Lights is a Richard Thompson song.

    I guess I got confused because people in the YouTube comments kept talking about covers of the song and it made it sound as if his version were a cover too. That's what I get for reading YouTube comments.
