Classic New Style, Gee, this band reminds me of... Options

[Rudegirl]

Okay, so there are a bunch of current local bands that remind me of old established bands, that is the theme.Pretty basic. Some are obvious, some probably only make sense to me, but they are all good tunes.


I was helped in the compilation of the comparisons by a small directed raid on smcd's CD collection.



Purple songs are by the established bands, brown are the local bands that inspired me. There were many more, but I decided not to push my luck.





1) My Man, A Sweet Man – Millie Jackson

2) He'll Take It – World's Greatest Sinners

3) 16 Shells From A Thirty-Ought-Six- Tom Waits

4) Blame It On The Devil- Frank Morey

5) Lies – The Fabulous Knickerbockers

6) All I Really Wanna Do Is Cry – Muck and The Mires

7) Little Doll – The Stooges

8) What I Came Here For – The Konks

9) Uncontrollable Urge – Devo

10) Rock and Roll is For The Poor – The Curses

11) Your Ass Is Next In Line – The Mummies

12) Frankenstein – The Coffin Lids

13) Down to You – Taxi Boys

14) (How Can I Break Up With You If You Don't) Call Me – Joe Lies

15) Who Was In My Room Last Night- The Butthole Surfers

16) She'll Know You – The Hidden

17) Comeback – Urban Dance Squad

18) Bitches Egyptian – Wack Ass Egyptians

19) Empty Box – Morphine

20) Whisper Whenever – Mercy James Gang

This was a really great idea that made for a fun CD. I finally got to hear the World's Greatest Sinngers and they were pretty fantastic. I still haven't got to the end of this (I'm slow on such things) but I need to as I can finally hear the Mercy James Gang. Yay!
