Beautiful Girls Ain’t Talkin’ ‘Bout Love* Panama Finish What Ya Started Unchained You Really Got Me Dance The Night Away Everybody Wants Some Runnin’ With the Devil And the Cradle Will Rock *Edited to have 10 songs. Thanks Sharpie. I had a problem with the html code for "Ain't Talkin 'Bout Love"

sharpie May 03 2006 11:27 PM

Doc, that's only 9 songs.

Johnny Dickshot May 03 2006 11:40 PM

and that''s if you count "Finish What You Started" as a song.

Same lineup that vanquished Steely Dan (*rearranged for your listening pleasure in reverse alphabetical order): Show Me Mystery Achievement My City Was Gone Middle of the Road Message of Love Kid Don’t Get Me Wrong Day After Day Brass in Pocket Back on the Chain Gang All clips except… … ‘Mystery Achievement’

JD, do you wish to change your order since my line up changed slightly since I only had 9 songs listed in the original list? I had ten, but I screwed up the html coding for the link on "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love" so only nine songs actually appeared in the original post. If your sticking with the same order, then let the battle of the bands begin.

Awaiting Dickshot's reply before the we see Beautiful Girls rumble with Tattooed Love Boys.

Oh, I did rearrange, photos and logos anytime

"Beautiful Girls" vs. "Show Me" Pretenders "Ain’t Talkin’ ‘Bout Love" vs. "Mystery Achievement" Tie "Panama" vs. "My City Was Gone" Pretenders "Finish What Ya Started" vs. "Middle of the Road" Kow! Bam! Pretenders. "Unchained" vs. "Message of Love" Pretenders "You Really Got Me" vs. "Kid" Slight edge to VH. Killer bridge with into a Buddy Holly solo on "Kid" though. "Dance The Night Away" vs. "Don’t Get Me Wrong" Van Halen. Harmonies. "Everybody Wants Some" vs. "Day After Day" Slight edge to Pretenders "Runnin’ With the Devil" vs. "Brass in Pocket" Van Halen scores here, perhaps because "BiP" is played out. I always thought the Edge's solo on "Pride" was largely copped from Eddie's on "Runnin'." Others tell me I'm wrong. "And the Cradle Will Rock" vs. "Back on the Chain Gang" Pretenders again slightly. Pretenders take the Van Halens, 6.5 to 3.5.

I always thought there were a lot of great songs done with him in the band.

]I still can't, for the life of me, figure out what is so terribly wrong about Sammy Hagar. I always thought there were a lot of great songs done with him in the band. He's a clown. And a clown seemingly without the self-awareness of the clown that preceded him. That said, he brought an instrument to the table, allowing Eddie to be versatile without leaving a hole elsewhere.
