Hüsker Dü - "Celebrated Summer"
fIREHOSE - "Brave Captain"
Dude,
those are like, two of my most favorite songs ever.
NDR is just.. godlike of course, and RAGIN' is just, well, think of the circumstances that led to the creation of that album. I know that fROMOHIO and IF'N were a bit more mature, my favorite fIREHOSE is still RAGIN' FULL ON. Just the idea of this guy fROMOHIO going out there and getting Watt and Hurley to keep on keepin' on.. that's always gets me.. and the Ed was such a great singer/guitarist in his own right.. just an amazing story.
oh.. and have you heard the live version of "Celebrated Summer" from THE LIVING END? Man, after the quiet middle part, the band comes back in, louder and louder, then Bob just nails that line.. "Do you Remember when the first snowfall fell? When summer barely had a snowball's chance in hell?" awesome. I totally get chills evertime I hear that.. I got to hear Bob play that song last year.. and a few other golden oldies like "Chartered Trips" and "Too Far Down" and "Makes No Sense at All" plus a bunch of his newer stuff. Great set, just Bob and his guitar..
