Mon 5/23/11: Bob's got the Monday Blues

Blues to make you snooze, 10-way proxy of GazWOS.

most-played blues song ever? BB's "Thrill is Gone" to start.

VHM ABB; BOS KoKo Taylor, pitchin' a Wang Dang Doodle.

"Mannish Boy" arrives to, er, muddy the waters.

"Midnight Rambler" not the bluesiest Stones tune I can think of, but BOS2 for relieving the monotony.

Jeezus, Canned Heat? Completely unnecessary -- WOS.

BB King - The Thrill is Gone 
Allman Brothers - One Way Out 
Koko Taylor - Wang Dang Doodle 
Cream - Crossroads 
Muddy Waters - Mannish Boy 
Rolling Stones - Midnight Rambler 
John Lee Hooker - Boom Boom 
Canned Heat - On The Road Again 
Stevie Ray Vaughan - The Sky is Crying 
Lonnie Brooks - Sweet Home Chicago

well, at least we avoided the Blues Bros.

Thur 5/26/11: 1979

we're promised Sir Bob & his Rats, which may be the least-AOR track we can hope for.

WOS1: Journey. "Just the same" crap as al("way")s.

Mr Walsh is in the city; Al Pacino is "out of aw-duh"

Least necessary: "My Sharona".

aaack: Foreigner are dirty, white boys. Pass the Purell. WOS2.

The Rats arrive: BOS for lack of anything better.  VHM Zep.

eeeek: Styx, "Babe" -- the looong version.  WOS3.

Here comes mah Petty with "Here Comes Mah Gurl".

proxy of GazWOS: AC/DC, hellbound. VHM from me just 'cause it probably pisses off the fundies.

BadCo's "Gone Gone Gone" is a relative rarity. But that doesn't mean it's good.

Journey - Just the Same Way 
Joe Walsh - In the City 
Knack - My Sharona 
Foreigner - Dirty White Boy 
Boomtown Rats - I Don't Like Mondays 
Led Zeppelin - Fool in the Rain 
Styx - Babe 
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Here Comes My Girl 
AC/DC - Highway to Hell 
Bad Company - Gone, Gone, Gone

Fri 5/27/11: 1972

Listening to KFOG to see what Krukow says about Buster, but monitoring Bob's '72 playlist.  The mighty 'berries are the TOTHK.

It's the 3rd of September on the 27th of May.

Foggit wants to make love; Iggles feel peaceful & easy; Bowie sez wham-bam-thank-ya-ma'm.

"Live like you wanna LIVE, baby!" Despite Chuck's pro-lesbian stance (kinda amazing in '72) I still have to WOS "My Ding-a-Ling". 

Duuuude! VHMs DP and the Doobs, "Rockin Down the Highway Star".

BOS Still Bill, still leanin'.  Least necessary: long cool creedence in a T-Rex.

Raspberries - Go All the Way   
Temptations - Papa Was a Rollin' Stone 
Foghat - I Just Wanna Make Love to You 
Eagles - Peaceful Easy Feeling 
David Bowie - Suffragette City   
Chuck Berry - My Ding a Ling 
Deep Purple - Highway Star 
Doobie Brothers - Rockin' Down the Highway 
Bill Withers - Lean on Me 
Hollies - Long Cool Woman (In a Black Dress)
