Neil Young– Like a Hurricane (1977)- not one of my favorites from NY, but still a great tune.

The Beatles– All You Need Is Love (1967)- The title says it all, pretty much sums up their message.

The Pogues– Everyman Is a King (1989)- I play this every Fourth of July.

The Shaggs– My Pal Foot Foot (1969)- Classic outisder art.

The King Khan & BBQ Show (2004)- Get Down- A fine track from this KLYAM favorite’s debut record.

Johnny Cash– Flushed From the Bathroom of Your Heart (live at Folsom) (1968)- Badass Cash! Folsom is the perefect setting for this song/album.

Alice in Chains– Would? (1992)- I’m glad we still hear kickass bands like Alice on the mainstream radio, since most of the time they (the radio stations) play absolute rubbish! Layne’s vocals are powerful here.

Frank Zappa– Are You Hung Up? (1968)- A bizarre opener to a bizarre album from a bizarre man.

Anti-Flag– Turncoat (2003)- Admittedly, a little bit too punk poppish for my taste at times, but still a decent tune.

Rage Against the Machine– War Withing a Breath (1999)- “Every official that comes in, cripples us, leaves us maimed, silent and tamed, and with our flesh and bones he builds his homes.” I often think of these words when a new official is elected to office, like Obama.

The Replacements– Careless (1981)- Old School, wild rowdy, Mats!
