Missed one. Actually the band's British fans shamed them about this song claiming they were sucking up to the U.S. so the band stopped playing it live. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adFqYYHtht8

Sorry I haven't been posting much. working insane hours.

The Clash - I'm So Bored with the USA

America Rules - Murphy’s Law

How could I forget American Idiot by Green Day?

AMERICAN IDIOT (Green Day)

And three weeks ago:

THE AMERICAN DREAM IS KILLING ME (Green Day)

I THINK I'M TURNING JAPANESE (The Vapors)

JAPAN (Bebop Deluxe)

KMET out of Los Angeles used to play this pretty regularly and I thought they might become a big thing like Boston but it was not to be.

I also enjoyed this Long Island band Though I confess that I only ever stumbled across their Tasty album and never saw any of their other albums.

Americanized - GWAR

We've heard a bit from USA, Britian, and Japan. Here are three Mexican sisters who have grown up doing rock and metal with a song new to me.

Z (The Warning) - Live from Mexico City
Z (The Warning) - Same song, in studio

This has been shared before, but seeing them at 14, 12, with a 9 year old bass player is pretty interesting.

ENTER SANDMAN (The Warning) - Metallica cover

Just a random heads up/factoid, but I can all but guarantee that the first chance this song qualifies for a rock wars concept, I'm nominating it.


EMPTY GARDEN (Elton John)

I suppose you’ll be suggesting a “tug on the heartstrings” tournament! I think I could get behind that but can’t wait to see the discussion of what qualifies.

I think I’ve heard this song before, but am definitely not very familiar with it. I remember hearing “Your Song” when it came out and have enjoyed almost everything Elton John has done since.

Yo, you may jest, but if most people here or elsewhere saw an average playlist of either mine or JM's, they'd be like "...are you okay? Do you need to talk or something?"

We just love to suffer and sob I guess.

It’s a shame when music marketing strangles really good music. I really am glad that you shared New England.

This has become a Thanksgiving tradition to play this in these parts:

I’ll be completely honest, when I first opened this and saw Alice’s Restaurant I expected it to feel a little dated. It only took a couple of minutes to realize how friggin hilarious and genius the song is.

Welcome to the Group W bench and Happy Thanksgiving. After finishing the turkey in a little bit, I’m going to check out The Motorcycle Song again.
