Archers Of Loaf - Web In Front Big Star - September Gurls Clinic - Internal Wrangler Dead Boys - Sonic Reducer Eno, Brian - Here Comes The Warm Jets Flaming Lips, The - Race For The Prize Galaxie 500 - Snowstorm Halo Benders, The - Don’t Touch My Bikini Iron & Wine - Weary Memory Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart Kings of Convenience - Summer On The Westhill Leo, Ted - Ballad Of The Sin Eater My Bloody Valentine - Only Shallow Nation Of Ulysses - Your My Miss Washington D.C One Last Wish - This Time Pixies, The - Caribou Q And Not U - Soft Pyramids Rapture, The - House Of Jealous Lovers Slint - Good Morning, Captain Turbonegro - Prince Of The Rodeo Ugly Cassanova - Hotcha Girls Violent Femmes - Kiss Off Wire - Ex Lion Tamer XTC - Season Cycle Young, Neil - Cortez The Killer Zorn, John - Latin Quarter So this is my second attempt and these are all good songs, there is no filler, I like every band/artist on this list. But I doubt I could make a third list without compromising my taste. I really struggled with the letter ‘Q’ and nearly caved in and put Queen on the list, but then I remembered that one of my favorite Dischord bands are called Q And Not U, and well that was it. And yeah, I’m a geek. ---

Assuming I didn’t get fired after my first show, I would have to come up with a playlist for my second one. So here it goes again: Aterciopelados-Florecita Rockera Bettie Serveert-Geek Case, Neko-Look for Me (I’ll Be Around) Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy-Famous ‘n’ Dandy (Like Amos ‘n’ Andy) Eno/Cale-Lay My Love Farris, Dionne-Passion Graham Central Station-Today Huffamoose-James Isley Brothers-Voyage to Atlantis Jones, Rickie Lee-Scary Chinese Movie Kinsey Report-Full Moon On Main Street Love, Laura-I’m A-Givin’ Way My Bloody Valentine-When You Sleep N’Dour, Youssou-The Truth October Project-Take Me As I Am Portishead-Strangers Queen Latifah-U.N.I.T.Y. Reilly, Ike-Commie Drives a Nova Smith, Patti-Frederick Tears for Fears-Badman’s Song Utopia-Rock Love Violent Femmes-Nightmares Whitley, Chris-Serve You XTC-Scarecrow People Young, Neil-Powderfinger Zanes, Dan-Tested As others have noted, some letters are harder than others, and like **Hüsker Düde** , I would have trouble coming up with a third list without making compromises. ---

I still prefer The Flamin’ Groovies version… but it’s close, real close. \*\* Ya gotta admit, they play it like it was their own. Haha…back in the 80s, when I used to take way too many drugs, I made a 30 minute seemless edit of the 'Tators version and played it all the time, over and over again. I’d drive everybody crazy with it. The only other cover that does as much justice to the original (not counting covers done by the Cramps) IMHO is The Damned’s cover of the MC5s “Looking At You” on the B-side of the Sanity Clause EP (I Think) Anyway, since other people are posting a second list, I will too: Aus Rotten-Xenophobia Bad Brains-Day Tripper/She’s A Rainbow The Cynics-She Lives (In A Time Of HEr Own) Damned-Looking At You Electric Eels-Jaguar Ride F Word-Do The Nihil Gang Of Four-At Home He’s A Tourist Happy Flowers-They Cleaned My Cut Out With A Wire Brush Intensified Chaos-Intensified Chaos Jack Killed Jill-They Walked In Line Kraut-Unemployed Lovemasters-Pusherman Of Love Murder City Devils-Every Shitty Thing New Bomb Turks-Born Toulouse Lautrec Operation Cliff Clavin - I Hate The Grateful Dead Pagans-I Stand Alone Quakes-New Generation Reagan Youth-Degeneration Shattered Faith-Reagan Country Tenpole Tudor-Wonderbar UK Subs-Stranglehold Varukers-Protest and Survive Wesley Willis-Jello Biafra X blank X (Mike Hudson of the Pagans side project)-Full of Shit Youth Brigade-Somebodys Gonna Get Their Head Kicked In Tonight Zen Guerrilla-Empty Heart Jon ---
