gasp! No!
I know! It shocks me, too. I love the song, love that she wrote, but it's one that I would rather hear them sing than her.
You turn on any of my crew, you turn on me.

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
The Jane's Addiction cover of the Dead's "Ripple" is one of my favorite things ever.

I'd like to submit "99 Red Balloons" as covered by 7 Seconds

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Speaking of bad covers... The Cure's cover of "Foxy Lady" is pretty awful....

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
I like the Brothers Johnson's version of "Strawberry Letter #23" better than I like Shuggie Otis'.

That's a cool list, Hec.
ION, I try to rate most of my songs in iTunes, and I just noticed what might be my highest-rated album. Galaxie 500's This Is Our Music, which I've given five stars to all but two songs (the last two tracks). Those two songs have four stars. So I've given that album an average rating of 4.8 stars. For me, This Is Our Music is very close to a perfect album.
Now I want to write a script that will calculate the average rating of all my albums....

Well, it's just fun to sing along to the Log Commercial. "It's better than bad / it's good..."
I'm trying to think of albums that would rate as highly for me. No duff cuts.
Swordfishtrombones. (duh)
Rain Dogs
In Too Much Too Soon - NY Dolls
In the Aeroplane Over the Sea - Neutral Milk Hotel
Radio City - Big Star
Fairport Chronicles (a cheat since it's a compilation but still)
Toys in the Attic - Aerosmith
Submarine Bells - The Chills
Astral Weeks - Van
Kind of obvious choices and acknowledged masterpieces, I guess.
But they're classics for a reason!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I would add Randy Newman's "Good Old Boys" and The Beatles "Revolver" to that perfect album list.
