Great Songs (underrated and long-forgotten category)

Great choice. Anyhoo:
--Moribund the Burgermeister, Peter Gabriel
--That apocalypse song, Aphrodite's Child
--Bad Streets, the Freebirds

 

Bad Street, Atlanta, GA. Baddest street in the whole U.S.A.

 

"House Party" J. Geils
"A Girl Like You" Edwyn Collins

I am sending my iTunes bill to you people.

 

Some bad-ass shit there.

"Open All Night" is one of my fave Springsteen songs and one that is just crying for a full band raveup (who knows, maybe's there's one out there I haven't heard).

"Tennessee Flat Top Box" is a fantastic pick and I'd throw out "Hey Tonight" as a great, lesser-known CCR song.

I'm not huge on Jimmy Buffett but "Manana" is one of his songs I really like. same with "Elvis Imitators".

Good to see some fellow Prince fans out there. "I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man" is flat-out brilliant, one of the best things he's ever done and "Delirious" rocks harder than any synth song before or since.

 

"Doralee," Jesse Sykes and the Sweet Hereafter

 

I've never heard a EStreet version of Open All Night, either, but I have to assume its been done in concert.

Springsteeners, can you help Huggy and I out with a download?

 

Great video. Freddie Mercury made a very convincing woman. Well, minus the porn mustache. ;D

A lot some more (70s edition)...

Spread Your Wings
My Melancholy Blues
Leaving Home Ain't Easy

Flick of the Wrist

Ogre Battle
Liar
Doing All Right
Step On Me (pre-Queen band formed by Brian May and Roger Taylor...god, I need to get out more)

 

Yeah. Have it, and four others ("The Fugitive," "Bankstatement," "Still," and "Strictly, Inc.")

Favorites off "ACF": "The Lie," "After The Lie," and "Somebody Else's Dream." The opening chord in "After The Undertow" is a Banks special. Talk about setting a tone ...

 

I don't think there's been a full E Street Band version of Open All Night. The few times he played it on the Born in the USA tour it was a done solo. He didn't play it on the Tunnel of Love, reunion or Rising Tours.
It was played in a very bizzare solo electric version on the Devils & Dust tour

Then there was the rave-up version with scat breaks from last year's Seeger Sessions tour:

 

I always loved this Martika song ...

 

Any B-Movie fans out there? "Nowhere Girl" was/is outstanding ...
