Ya, we're not all little kiddies

 

More to the point, my parents won't play music trivia with me anymore.

Come to think of it, should "Surf City" really be called a Jan&Dean song?

As far as more current acts, I love these guys:

I love that channel. I put it at work when no one is around (the girls here complain about it).

You can tell why Dick Dale is Dick Dale. Whenever I hear a song I really like and check out the artist, half the time it's Dick. Los Straitjackets are up there in my book too.

And the mucis is great. Lots of talent from an era when music was good because of its composition and execution and not becuase of any props, novelty or trends.

And the names they came up with! Diablo Sandwhich. Southern Culture on the Skids. Man or Astro Man? The Bambi Molesters.

 

Take it easy on the cheese. . not just for your sinuses, but for your colon as well.

 

I know who they are...

 

i know jan and dean.......... and im a kiddie

 

Well........i knew you would............

 

Here is some more favorite songs and their artists. Do you remember these:

Pipeline, by the Chantays.

Wipe out, by the Safaris.

Wild weekend, by the Rebels.

 

When i was a kid, if you could play the drum solo to Wipe out, you were da man.

 

a neat twist on that style imo would be "Descent" by the Cure (back when they were good) check it out.
