You guys have the state songs covered pretty well  . Gregory Alan Isakov has a song called Idaho on his latest album. It's pretty laid back but it's good. |

I'm cool with that as long as they don't play that Massachusetts song by the Beegees. Not that I don't like Massa-two-shits. Born and raised there actually.

"New York Mining Disaster 1941" and "Massachusetts" are two different songs, on two different albums by The Bee Gees. Let's see, other state-named songs: "Jersey Girl" - Tom Waits "North To Alaska" - Johnny Horton "Pennsylvania 6-5000" - Glenn Miller This is a great song, by the way. |

Any song that coins a new term for a societal condition deserves an 8. Only reason I didn't go 9 is because it's from my own generation, and I don't want to show any bias. OTOH, it's been dang near 30yrs since "Wild Planet" was released, and I still hear people much younger than that say that a clueless person is "..living in their own Private Idaho.."  |

Well i saw them in boston at SPIT in about 1979. They were a jolt of of high voltage energy and the place turned into a steam bath. I'lll always have a sft spot for the B52's.

Not sure, but I think it came from a music critic who called bands like The Cars, the B-52s and Devo the "new wave of punk..." where is a rock historian when you need one? Takes me back to middle school. One of the few good parts! |

I'm guessing not. The B-52's songwriting process, apparently, is based pretty much on passing a piece of paper around a table and everyone adding a line. Which explains a lot, I think. |

Interesting. It was one of the best art films I watched in the 1990s. Helped lauch a few actors' careers if I am not mistaken. Bleak but beautiful. So tell me, is this what they called 'New Wave' music back in the day? |
