I think this is the first time I ever heard cover of this song. Made my day. Thanks

Every year you see the "BEST ALBUMS THAT ARE TURNING 50 LIST" and since we're now on 1973, holy balls. Massive, massive albums.
Dark Side of the Moon
Houses of the Holy
Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
Quadrophenia
For Your Pleasure
Brain Salad Surgery
Selling England by the Pound
Just off the top of my head!

Just wait 3 more years until the first Ramones record is 50. Also holy balls, Raw Power turned 50 and Iggy Pop is still alive.

I'm sure this comes as a shock but Ramones never did a damn thing for me. The late 70's started to get a bit skint for us prog nerds.

I will ride or die on the first 4 Ramones albums but I am a sucker for bubblegum pop and stupid simple guitar work.

As far as much-talked-about early punk bands are concerned... they are at least way, way better than the Sex Pistols.

The pistols were fine (and that album has some amazing guitar production on it), but man, there were way better punk bands before, during, and after.
My favorite forgotten punk single is Sonic Rendezvous Band’s “City Slang”.

With punk stuff I generally want absolute incompetence, like the Electric Eels or Crime, or surprising chops like the Stooges/MC5.
And then there’s Suicide.

IMO re: the Stooges, Funhouse is the superior album, but Raw Power has some killer songs.

I guess I don't really think of Suicide as "punk" but now we're splitting hairs. They have the punk attitude and aesthetic but I don't listen to the music and picture punk rock.

That’s what makes them so punk! 
holy shit, put on “Frankie Teardrop” at a punk party and it’s like you farted in everyone’s face.

I avoid Frankie Teardrop as a general rule. It's not so much that I don't like it or appreciate the efforts it's that is does what it wants to do TOO well.
I can handle old school lowfi ass norwegian church burning black metal from time to time but that Frankie Teardrop song bothers me, man.

I really miss just getting an album/tape and putting it on a record/tape player and hearing it for the first time. I wasn't even alive when this album released but it and many others of the era must have been revelations.
I can still remember what I was doing the first time I heard certain albums of my generation and I wonder what kids today have lost in that regard. Maybe I am just a middle aged man yelling at a cloud but it really was better.
Yep, there wasn’t the internet or video games (except I remember a friend having Pong on his TV at home in the late 70s and I was jealous)…album releases were a big deal…people would come over and share music…we were out all day as kids playing made up games and my parents had no idea where we were and didn’t care lol…good times

FOB's full album came out about a week ago and it's so god damn good. This is their best album in a long time, arguably their best album ever.
I absolutely love all 3 of these songs

And when the very large, somewhat nebulous concept of "Steve Winwood stuff" comes up I have to go back to my favorite:
He was an ancient 23 or so here, I think.
