Some of my favorite songs by ACR live on their first couple of releases, The Graveyard and the Ballroom and Do the Du. The first has a buncha scratchy, shrill, minimalist funk bangers and moody post-punk tunes, but "Shack Up" is the business.ErikG wrote: Mon May 22, 2023 5:54 pm I'll go first: "Knife Slits Water" by A Certain Ratio. By all accounts a fine band with some interesting material, but nothing else to me comes close.
Feel free to sell me on the charms of this band.
And submit your one song.
"Time Stops." I've got all of the time in the world for Teenage Fanclub but something about the unhurried performance, vocal delivery, and delicious outro sends me.Vibracobra wrote: Wed May 24, 2023 9:36 amStar sign is one of my fave songs ever.

The Skatt Brothers - Walk The Night. As a child I had my mind blown by this song. It was dark, creepy, and bumpin'. Had no idea it was about the startling world of kink & gay sex. Also had no idea it would be brought back to life almost 45 years later in M3GAN. Too bad everything else I've heard from this bad suffers from a lot of poor songwriting and production choices. Although, if I'm feeling generous and super cheesy I can fuck with a ballad or two. Recently found out leader Sean Delaney was shtupping KISS's manager Bill Aucoin. He even co-wrote a buncha KISS songs. The 70's was a weird era.
