Can't think why.

[Toby Gymshorts]

R. E. M. - Finest Worksong

[hobbes]

America by Simon and Garfunkle. Because I just learned to play it on my guitar.

[Wouter D]

Did it take you four days?

[WOM]

Disturbance, best B-side ever.

What a wildly addictive song. Can't find it to download anywhere, though.

[Amor de Cosmos]

It's on most of their comps, or of course, you can take it directly off YT.

[Amor de Cosmos]

Meanwhile... ugh! Please noooooooo!

[Nocturnal Submission]

Frank Black wrote a song about John Denver:

[danielmak]

Difficult, "Mirror" which sounds like a mix of Throwing Muses and Sleater Kinney. If either of those bands float your boat, I think you will dig this song.

Straight to 3:40 for a piece of iconic live news reporting and the greatest rock guitar break in the history of music, a.k.a. my favourite.

Someone put this on a mixtape for me around '88 and it gets stuck into your brain.

The Middle - Jimmy Eat World:

[Toby Gymshorts]

Rush - The Weapon

[Sporting]

A little exploration of the world of Spanish music in the early 80s. Polanski y el Ardor are categorised on wiki etc pages as punk but really they were not, the saxophone helping to create something a bit different. The group didn't last long but left some great songs, of which this is one:

At the same time there were other, more "conventional" punk bands around, such as Interterror:

Or Ultimo Resorte;

Finally, something from Kortatu:

[Guy Profumo]

The Body of an American - The Pogues

[Mumpo]

Hold on! it's never enough
It's never enough until you heart stops beating
The deeper you get, the sweeter the pain
Don't give up the game until your heart stops beating
