80's Music
The late Bernie Worrell in this registration, he being one of the foundations of Funkadelic and Parliament, with George Clinton.
P Funk master. The Parliaments, Funkadelic, Parliament, Clinton oozing the funk. Hit it on the one.
Grandmaster Caz is on this (among other DJ's) on the wheels of steel.
I never got into the Falcon and the Snowman, but this track imo is awesome. Also as a musician, this track always starts a note lower than I recall it.
From their album Tinderbox, the most awesome album ever made (in my humble opinion).
Something different on the menu today...from his album, Body and Soul, released 1984.
Massive hit here in the Lowlands in '85
From their debut album Surfer Rosa back in 1988.
Released in '81, from their sixth studio album La Folie
Track was originally released in 1989. It references "The treasure of the Sierra Madre", a movie with Humphrey Bogart that also inspired the DLC Dead Money in Fallout New Vegas. Anyhow this live registration imo is awesome, from the "Madre of Stone" DVD. I hope you enjoy.
Cycling to school, this on my walkman.
This song from the Turn of a Friendly Card Album, I was in boarding school when I heard it for the first time, in that time when you had "mental problems" your ass was kicked out of the house to boarding school. My son has autism as well and did not encounter these misunderstandings from us. He likes to be at home.
John Valentine Carruthers is a.guitar hero of mine. Just listen to his riffs on this one. Awesome.
From their debut album released in May a1989.
Robert Smith, former member of Siouxie and the Banshees
From his 1982 album Night and Day, a song inspired by New York City night life.
>The 1982 video features the band performing the song onstage, with drummer Cozy Powell sitting in for Ian Paice, who originally played on the track. This version is more bluesy, raw and understated than the later versions and includes the line “like a hobo I was born to walk alone," which was later replaced by “like a drifter …” because Coverdale was worried that the word “hobo” could be misheard as “homo."

There was this minor fued back in the day between Nirvana and Killing Joke about Nirvana nicking the guitar riff from 'Eightees' (1985) on the track ‘Come as You Are'. Well listen to the guitar riff on this one…(1982)
"This video is a celebration of the north of England's most famous punk rock outfit. We're Mad captures the band at their best. Not so much a set of songs as a series of short stories. Packed full of witty lyrics and mad machine-gun guitar licks"

RIP Shelly Duvall. Her husband Dan Gilroy singing on this track. Top 40 hit in the Netherlands.

From the album "Never for Ever". The song is dedicated to her lighting engineer, the late Bill Duffield. Sometimes this one brings me to tears, it is wonderful. The youtube video not so much btw

From the album Tinderbox, imo the whole album is great. Songs like Candyman, Party's Fall, Sweetest Chill, Carruthers being a guitar player I admire who did not do much after 2 albums with the Banshees. Did a killer riff on Candyman.

Dutch funk band Fox the Fox made an international hit with this track, you might recognize this as the Weekend sampled it for his track Wanderlust from his debut album.

This video has it all, too. Breakdancing, firespinning, karate, dancing on a piano, inappropriate sexual suggestions.
