There's a great song for ya.

[Von Schloopen]

I don't....what did you do? Play bass over the song?

They're a two-piece. They don't have a bass player. Thus, no bass. Not ignorance, just lack of hands.

I didn't. As I said in my original post, dudeman did. And he made it better.

Just like Steven McDonald made "Dead Leaves And The Dirty Ground" better by giving it some low end.

Dead Leaves and The Dirty Ground - The White Stripes + Steve McDonald - YouTube

Dude made a good song fanfuckingtastic!

Bass players are cheap, everywhere, and generally agreeable. There's really no reason not to have one.

Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Country Home - YouTube

I have a lot of favorite "Neil Young & Crazy Horse" songs. This is one of them. It's got the crisp pace, the harmonies, the pop sensibility, the fun lyric, the wiry lead guitar with possibly the best guitar tone anyone has ever achieved. Dude makes 7 minutes sound like 3.

Hmm? This one was kind of hard to find. Curious.

Brilliant pop songwriting. Spirited performance. With a bass player.

Great song.

Neil Finn's one of the best.

Emmylou Harris - Ooh! Las Vegas - YouTube

Gram Parson tune. So, ya know the song is great. Emmylou singing? Even better. But the guitar playing takes it to the moon. Pedal steel and electric. Amazing.

Old county music is the best proof that modern country sucks. Nothing recent can touch this.

Neil Finn's one of the best.

I couldn't find the album recording of "Last To Know" on youtube. That was a let down.

 

[dudeman]

this is fucking great. the second half is a tasty, badass, guitar wankathon. i love it.

[LemonMelon]

I've seen that song live, twice. I hope they never take it out of the setlist. Nels' guitar solo

 

[cobl04]

That was a definite highlight when I saw them. One of the wankiest things I've ever seen, but my jaw was still fused agape.

 

[joyfulgirl]

I must be the only Wilco fan who doesn't like that song.

to each their own, but you have to admit there's something awesome about watching that dude dance around that beat up old jazzmaster.

apparently they do this shit all the time:

Wilco - Impossible Germany (Live on Letterman) - YouTube

as far as i'm concerned, the first half is great, but if you just wanted to play the song from 2:30 or so on, thats where the money is.

 

[dudeman]

holy crap, batman!

i just watched this video and i don't know where else to turn so i came here.
i know, this song ('My Body' by Young the Giant) is a frontrunner and all that, but it's totally awesome.

thinking that this would be a cracker live, i did a youtube search and found evidence of the following snuff film/house party. as they (the band) pull people up on stage, they (the people getting pulled up on stage) get lamer and lamer, and the finale serves as an homage to all that is douchey and horrible in america and the world at large. completely oblivious to what is happening around them... they're texting and shit, as the song builds to it's tremendous conclusion. it's totally fucking amazing. they couldn't have staged it better.

anyway... what an awesome tune! it's like "Sit Down" by James on good old-fashioned American steroids. i fucking love it. As such, i've also attached another video that is far more better, in my opinion, as the crowd is far more appropriately batshit.

Right on.

I found this album a few months ago and play this tune every chance I get.

Groovy heavy rock. The guitars are wonderful.

[Von Schloopen]

I'm pissed I found this song a few years ago. Pissed because I could've discovered it 35 years ago. The Flamin Groovies. Really underrated 70's American power pop/rock.

BB King playing a Leon Russell tune. It's a gorgeous song, funky and intimate. The outro is HUGE & FUCKING GLORIOUS.

Wow. Mr. Jack White makes Led Zeppelin out of "Mother Nature's Son".

Jack White - Mother Nature's Son - At The White House June 2, 2010 - YouTube

awesome

 

[dudeman]

earlier, this happened. it's fucking insane.

macca has the best band in the world, and stevie has the best skillz in tthe world.

and be sure to notice the commentator at the very last second. it's not to be missed.

Whoa.

The idea that The Jonas Brothers had to follow that makes me feel all happy in my innards.

 

[Von Schloopen]

dudeman, did you send me this? Cause, holy crap. I think Plant starts to tear up. And Yo-Yo Ma grooving. And Letterman falling asleep.

It's easy to forget how great this song is, but there it is.

it's entirely possible we've watched that together. i think i was tearing up, too. that song really does kick some ass. ann wilson still got it.

that bb king song is pretty boss.

 

[Von Schloopen]

People always go on about the MC5. Specifically "Kick Out The Jams." That song is awesome. This one is better. Way better. It's Saturday on steroids.

Look at Rob Tyner's afro. Holy crap. I mean, holy crap.

Doctor Wu by Steely Dan - YouTube.flv - YouTube

The first time I heard this, my heart grew three sizes that day. I think I was about 9 or 10, and it was part of what caused them to be a band I listened to regularly instead of just casually whenever my dad put them on. What I love most about this band is how tuneful they can be underneath their clinical, caustic exterior, and this track is an example of them running with those pop impulses. I have a hard time wrapping my mind around this song because I can't imagine Steely Dan coming up with something so purely warm, sad and heart-wrenchingly beautiful. But there it is.

 

[cobl04]

Gorgeous. I truly, truly love Donald Fagen's voice. It really soars in the chorus there, and on many of the Aja tracks I love.

I just read Fagen and Becker refuse to listen to the album owing to its poor sound quality?

 

[iron yuppie]

Steely Dan has got to be the most bizarre and unexpected of the beloved artists on this board. But I love the enthusiasm you guys have for them/him.

 

[cobl04]

What prompts you to say that?

I remember the first time I listened to Aja... one of the extremely few times I've heard an old album and it has been exactly what I hoped for and then some.

 

[iron yuppie]

I'm just surprised at how often they come up, and always in an extremely positive light. It's not a critique - just an observation.

 

[IWasBored]

I found it surprising especially since I was under the impression that reelin in the years was the only song anyone had ever heard, and couldn't imagine anyone ever liking that boring pile of shit. Having been forced to listen to some solo Fagen tape on too many car rides as a kid, I will never have anything but hate for anything steely dan related.

That tape was probably the Nightfly, if I had to guess. I love that album but anything post-Royal Scam is going to lack a lot of the grit (especially in the guitar work) that I love about the band.
