Bill Withers - Use Me... Soul the way it should be
You may know Bill Withers from Lean On Me or Ain't No Sunshine, but he grooved with so much soul in a whole bunch of songs. I love 70's Soul and Funk, but I love it even more when done with organic instruments that really allow for a physicality to the tune instead of today's synth action.
Psychedelic Memories on a Knife Edge
I used to love Emerson, Lake and Palmer. I think I still do. I used to love them because I thought they were rock gods. I know now that they weren't rock gods, but what I love is that they tried to be.
A "Performance for the Ages" Song
I can't believe that there are still people who haven't seen this amazing clip from Peter Gabriel's Amnesty '86 performance. At the height of apartheid in South Africa, I remember getting shivers when I first saw this and still do today. If you're still in high school and only know Peter Gabriel as that old guy who wrote the song from Wall-E, do some searching and some listening - it's worth it.
A "Monstrous" Song
Gotta love Sex Mob because, quite frankly, if one doesn't, I wouldn't know what to do with them. Slide trumpet craziness on the bastard child song of Godzilla and Mothra.
