3 - Jealous Again - The Black Crows

5 - Julia - Our Lady Peace

Journey of the Sorcerer - The Eagles (popularized as the theme to The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy)

Ta - that was one of my alternates.

Joey- Concrete Blonde

Mr. or Ms. Slate beat ya to it.

mmm

YAY! No one got this one…

  1. Jump Into The Fire - Harry Nilsson

I’m so glad someone posted this. I thought of it right after posting my fifth nomination.

:slightly_smiling_face:

  1. Jughead - Prince & The New Power Generation

Hehehe, right before I was gonna. Played a cover of it this evening. :slight_smile:

(and since a lot of my other picks had already had been taken, I had to think!)

Just Like Honey -Jesus and Mary Chain

(Wow, can’t believe no one got that one before me. Shin-ei fuzz forever!)

Joan of Arc - Melvins

Joyful Reunion - NoMeansNo

Jesus Built My Hotrod - Ministry

(honestly, a masterpiece of its moment)

Jack the Ripper - Link Wray

Yes, many of my favorites have already been posted. Here’s another one…

  1. Jock-A-Mo - James “Sugar Boy” Crawford & his Cane Cutters

Dangit, how’d I’d forget that one! Beautiful version, too!

Crawford’s version is actually the original. I don’t care what the courts decided,…he got ripped off!

  1. Jailbreak - Thin Lizzy

Hey, I’m with ya there. I only knew it as “Jock-a-Mo” until the advent of the internet and I eventually realized all those covers I’d heard of it were called “Iko Iko”.

And one my ex-bandmates would probably scold me for skipping. Thankya.

I got to this thread late. I was surprised no one had gotten Jump Into The Fire or Jailbreak.

Hey, I’m still surprised I got to nominate “Just Like Honey” or “Jack the Ripper”. Bunch of savages in this town.

Junk Food Junkie- Larry Groce

Jive Talkin- The Bee Gees

Jurassic Park- Weird Al

All my others were already picked.

It definitely came to mind, but doesn’t meet my personal inclusion criteria. Ditto the Ministry.

Nice to see another Zaz fan on the board

:astonished:
How come i never knew that ?!?!?!
I always assumed it was created for the radio series by the BBC
Radiophonic Workshop, who, iirc, were the only people credited for
music/sound effects etc.
