DONOVAN
ATLANTIS



If you dare to make it to the 1:49th minute of this song you will be greatly rewarded.

As a kid, I had the opportunity to become versed in Greek mythology, so that might have something to do with me liking this song.  Eh, perhaps I like this song because I dig Scorsese movies (GoodFellas).  Or just maybe, I like this song because it's probably the tambourines finest hour.  Or maybe I am 100% sucka for a great melody and piped-piper lyrics ;/

However, I can certainly tell you one thing...I want this song included in the movie montage of mi vida!

The Kinks
Waterloo Sunset



Loverly song...wonderfully sad and beautiful. Is it too late for me to join the band Mr. Davie?

The Kinks
Tired of Waiting




Classic Kinks!!! +who hasn't shared this sentiment before (I know anyone who knows me has).

Iggy and The Stooges
Raw power-I need somebody



More from Raw Power.

Iggy Pop
i'm bored



You can't tell me that, @ the very least, this guitar riff ain't funky! What can I say I loves me some Iggy.
Come on, with lyrics like: I'm bored/I'm the Chairman of the Board/I'm a lengthy monologue...

+ the man's got awkward twigtastic moves for days in his shiny suite (gotta love the pageantry...we all know Iggy's a diva).  This song is from the album, Raw Power, undoubtedly one of his finest records to be cut on vinyl.

The Stooges
1969


The Stooges
I Wanna Be Your Dog




Yeah, so if you don't know already...I have a pretty ferocious appetite for early punk music (late 60's and 70's).

The Stooges are one of my favorite bands from this era of music, so enjoy this music block brought to you by the good folks @youtube and @phillysouledout.
