“Shop Ranchoth Records™! When you want ‘Musically Eclectic’ but still ‘Moody as Fuck’, you Can’t Go Wrong with Ranchoth!”

Always interesting to see that there are people with musical tastes as loathsome as mine. Wonder if anything as embarassing as “Black Betty” will show up on my list (sticking to “rock”)…

I Never Loved Eva Braun - The Boomtown Rats
Bales Of Cocaine - Reverend Horton Heat
Square Dance Boogie - Cliff “King” Solomon with Ernestine Anderson
1,000 Ft Rd - The Supertones
Going Crazy - Squeeze
Be Bop Grandma - George Thorogood & The Destroyers
Everybody Loves A Train - Los Lobos
Cheated And Lied - The Vipers
6th Avenue Heartache - The Wallflowers
Lonesome Town - Ricky Nelson

Someone else must have snuck that Ricky Nelson song into my music library when I wasn’t looking.

It’s also the only one on your list I recognize. :o

Third times the charm
