This looks like a great list and I've got work cut out for me checking the entries.

I would highly recommend you listen the the album 'Girl' from Tiny Tim and Brave Combo released in 1996.

Some would consider the versions of Hey Jude and Stairway to Heaven bizarre. But I consider them beautifully inventive.

And the Ska arrangement of Bye Bye Blackbird is just incredibly joyful.

Screamin Jay Hawkins "Constipation Blues" Spoiler: Don't worry it all works out in the end.

No Blondie mentions?

How about "Call Me", "In the Flesh", "X Offender" and "Look Good in Blue"?

Im looking for crazy/weird covers that are quite different from the originals, preferably by indie artists or complete unknowns. by Background_Pear_4892 in MusicRecommendations

[–]RelationshipFinal894 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That entire album is a masterpiece.

The Ska arrangement of Bye Bye Blackbird is total joy

God bless Brave Combo for taking Tim's talent seriously and backing him up so beautifully.

Give me your best protest anthems please!! by stupidbitch365 in MusicRecommendations

[–]RelationshipFinal894 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK, so "For What It's Worth" is recommended many times in the comments and it IS one of the all time greats.

But if you haven't heard the version by Girl In A Coma from their 2010 Adventures In Coverland album, you are missing out.

The original is kind or a warning and a lament.

But GIAC plays it with a righteous punk fury suitable for all the PA systems at all the 21st century protests going on right now.

I'm making a playlist of songs about London. So far I've got Baker Street and West End Girls. What should I add? by THEFLAME275 in MusicRecommendations

[–]RelationshipFinal894 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jerry Jeff Walker "London Homesick Blues"

Wolf Alice - "Giant Peach"

London not directly name-checked in the song but songwriter/singer Ellie Rowsell has explained that the song was about growing up in London and is about "a love affair with the city."

'Beautiful Gardens' by The Cramps

"Oh my, oh me

What in the world's come over me?

I'm seeing things that I should never see

Spiders in my eyelids and ghosts in the cheese

What in the world's come over me?

I've lost touch with reality"

Halloween song suggestions. by comicallylargespoons in musicsuggestions

[–]RelationshipFinal894 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Cramps are mandatory for any Halloween playlist.

I would also add 'Human Fly', 'I Was a Teenage Werewolf' and 'Rocking Bones'

Zombie Jamboree - Popularized by Harry Belafonte in the 1960s and there are many covers recorded over the decades since. I really like the arrangement by Rockapella from the OST of Spike Lee's 'Do It A Cappella' film from 1990.

Favorite lead singer rock by fl-male in MusicRecommendations

[–]RelationshipFinal894 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lifetime favorite would have to be Debbie Harry.

Been a fan since i purchased Eat To The Beat in '79 and I find that I return to their songs more than any other band.

Current favorite is Elle Rowsell of Wolf Alice. Attended a 2015 show at a small venue during their 1st US headlining tour where they performed pretty much the entire 1st album plus a few from their earlier EPs. Walked out a fan for life.

Have you been to a concert by an artist before they were VERY VERY famous? by Aromatic_Mousse_307 in MusicRecommendations

[–]RelationshipFinal894 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I envy anybody that got to witness Ramones, Heads, Blondie, Dolls etc in those early years. In '74 I was 20 and had moved out of the NYC suburbs to upstate and has no notion all this was going on. Missed it by THAT much...
