#374. Sucked out-Superdrag

This is my dream...

     From knoxville Tenn., ANother great one-hit wonder from the ninties.  Elektra through these guys and Nada-Surf tons of money, with it they produced some decent music.  They toured aggressively for years.  Enjoy

#375. I've loved these days-Billy Joel

We drown our doubts with fine champagne and sooth our souls with fine cocaine.

     If you know me you know I grew up listening to Billy Joel.  Every song on every album, this isn't exactly Uptown Girl

#376. Tones of Home-Blind Melon

Reach what they can't see.

     Hey for a couple years they were a fun little band.  And when Shannon wasn't fucked up it was a good live show.

#377. American Girls-Counting Crows

She comes out of closets every night.

     I love these guys.  Just great american music, remind me of an east coast Tom Petty, IDK, big fan.  Enjoy

#378. Summer of Drugs-Soul Asylum

Sister got bit by a cooperhead snake in the woods behind the house.

     You know, I love Soul Astlum, always have.  Grave Dancers Union is one of my favorite albums.  This is a track of Sweet Relief, by Victoria Williams.

#379. San Ber'dino-Frank Zappa

I'm sorry you got a head like a potato.  I really am.

     From 1975, with the last album from the original Mothers, this short (by Frank standards, 6 minutes) gem.

#380. Bathwater-No Doubt

Why do we do the boys that are naughty.

      I have to admit I never appreciated No Doubt till I saw them live.  And had I not got the tickets for free I probably would not have gone, but what a great show.

#381. Scarlet Thing In You-Peter Murphy

On the red wings I will sail at night...

     I never claimed to be a Bauhus fan.  Have no idea if I have ever even heard Bela Lugosi's Dead.  This song showed up on the infamous Tomei mix tape and I have loved it ever since.  Great voice, great lyrics.

#382. To Sir With Love-Lulu



     Sure Lulu was a Dusty knock-off, but still a great song

#383. Tip That Waitress-Loudon Wainwright


     She been on her feet nearly half the damn night.

     I love Gordondon.  A great track, examplifing his wit.  Couldn't find a copy of him doing it, damn you Utube.  THis guy ain't bad though.

#384. She's an Angel-They Might Be Giants

When your following an angel, doesn't mean you have to throw your body off a building.

     Obviously I am a big TMBG fan, and yes there will be many TMBG songs on this list.  Because this is my list.  Blast this one will ya

#385. More Human Than Human-White Zombie

A demolition style hell american freak yeah.

     Hey, it came out right after grunge and I needed something a little harder.  Rob Zombie, better musician or movie director?

#386. Wannabe Gangstar-Wheatus

Better go back to Commack.

     Again, another great song of a great album.  Very fitting that Urge Overkill and Wheatus show up here back to back.


#387. Sister Havana-Urge Overkill

Theres no time to lose.

     Another great track off a great album.  If only Dale's mom didn't wash that t-shirt I would have their autographs.  I saw so many great shows sneaking in underage at Lupo's in Providence.  Good times.

#388. U-Mass. Pixies

It's educational...

   Hailing from Mass., almost kinda like my hometown.  Find me a band who formed between 1990-2010 that wasnt enfluenced by these guys.

#389. I'll See You When I Git There-Lou Rawls

Pardon me, do you have change for a quarter?

     There is so much stoey behind this song, if you know me, you get it.  Lou is the best, and to top it all off, he did the soundtrack for the original Garfield cartonns, lol.  Hey if you have a daughter, tell her her, if her boyfriend ever starts playing Lou Rawls, get out of that house.

#390. Four Sticks-Led Zeppelin

Oh Baby, it's cry'in time.


     Some times you just gotta get your Led out.

#391. Superstar-Sonic Youth

Don't you remember you told me you love me baby.

      No one mastered noise better then Sonic Youth.

#392. It Ain't Me Babe- Johnny Cash/June Carter

You say your looking for someone who will promise never to part.

     Dylan is The Bard, and this list will have a lot of him, but this is the version to beat.

#393. Save it for Later-Harvey Danger



     What can I say, this is the version I like best.  Plus Elvis is in this movie, nuff said.

#394. I Just Started Hating Some People Today-Beck



     Sometimes nothing needs to be said.  It just all makes sense.  Thank you Jack White.

#395. Middle of the Road-Pretenders

When you own a big chunk of the bloody third world
The babies just come with the scenery

     Some times you have to turn the dial to classic rock, blast it and drive

#396. I'm Wrong About Everything. John Westly Harding

I thought a little warmth could win the war.

     Best artist to take his name from a Bob Dylan Song.

#397. Hanginaround-Counting Crows

Been hanging around this town on the corner.

     BEst band I have never seen live

#398. Roots Radical. Rancid


Give 'em the boot the roots the radicals.

     What can I say, I didn't have The Clash.

#399. The Whole World. OutKast

I catch a beat running like Randy Moss.

      Before they were shaking it like a Polaroid picture.

#400. Slow Dog. Belly



Marie carry a rifle, Marie carry a dog on her back.

     Sure we know Tonya Donnely from Throwing Muses and The Breeders.  But lets not forget that she, and all the members of Belly grew up in Newport, Rhode Island.  Great track off their debut album.

#401. I've Been Everywhere-Johnny Cash

Listen, I've traveled road in this here land.

      Just another fun song front a great artist.  Like a one of a kind artist.  Like up there with Elvis and Bob Dylan.  No?
