I think this may go on a while.This is what I have so far.I also want to do an electric jazz compilation..then,maybe a "mysterious" song comp. And I know some of my choices may be a little crazy,but I wanted to keep variety going and also keep myself from being bored.

I'ma have to get some of these songs here..I LOVE ROCK MUSIC!!!!!

Oh. My. Gawsh.


All of the first 2 Living Colour albums. All of those 2. But, in particular:

Time's Up -- it funks as hard as it rocks.
Broken Hearts

And, the opening track on Corey Glover's "Hymns" CD. I'm not ready. I'm still not ready for that.

What a voice.


But, this album, for me, is tops when it comes to funky rock. Yes, even higher than P's stuff:
Fishbone's Give a Monkey a Brain... album.

Tracks from Jesse Johnson's 'Bare My Naked Soul' album should be included. I particularly loved his song "Everybody Needs A Dream" which was the b-side to his single "My Life".

Roachford would also be a good choice for the comp.

Great list.

everything's cool with the exception of anything including Pharrell ( needs to be punched in the throat) williams

nothing by Thin Lizzy?

I didn't even see Pharell on there. I really have no opinion about that though because I can't even name/think of one song by that person. I'm out of the loop I guess.

And we need more Hendrix!

rockwilder said:

This is a hot disc! Throw in some Skunk Anansie(anything from Post Orgasmic Chill) Some Brains(SHe's Calling YOu), maybe..Santana/Corey Glover/Stanley Clarke/Tony Williams(Spanish Castle Magic) and you may have to burn me a copy of this!

Lenny Kravitz - Flash, Tunnel Vision, Sugar
Bad Brains - Destroy Babylon
Van Hunt - Dust

Where is The Family Stand?

Isn't he in NERD?

Was listening to E. Badu's Mama's Gun, and the first song rocks pretty good.

There's an old hardcore/punk band from Philly called YDI that had a black singer & drummer.Their old material has recently been reissued.They started as a straight up HC band but ended sounding more metal on their 2nd LP.Not for everybody but I love it.

Oh, there was another all black Punk band from Philly that released a 7" from 1978 & they were called Pure Hell.

Here's a cool band I discovered last year. They might fit:

Oh, ok. I really had no clue.

This would be the best black metal album of all times.

You know I've never herad Roachford,but remember seeing that name and had it checked as a band to give a shot.I still need to do that.And I agree I will add more Jesse.I have a live concert of his ,but it's not great quality sound.

DavidEye said:

No Irish need apply.J/k.I may do that.

gooeythehamster said:

Yes.I will address this,too.

sextonseven said:

I kinda' like that.

I picked up the Stiffed CD after reading positive reviews in Spin and Alternative Press. It's a great EP of post-punk/new wave.
