Good segue from Louis Prima, but I can't shake the sense that "hey, Bo Diddley" is buried in these grooves somewhere.

In 1980 Paul Simon turned 39, Elton John and Iggy Pop turned 33 and Stevie Wonder turned 30 (and of course he started his career as a teenager.) Make a list of your 25 favorite rock songs and my bet is that the vast majority were written and performed by someone who was 25 or younger at the time. |

I could never really afford to buy CDs or records until around the time the movie Trainspotting came out. I was driving a beat up old car with a giant dent in the side, and I could barely make the payments. What little spending money I had went to whatever social life I was able to scrape together in Wrigleyville, Chicago (great times). So, I bought the Trainspotting CD, mainly on the strength of this song - they had just started playing this in heavy rotation on XRT. It was a life-changing CD for me, because Brian Eno's Deep Blue Day is also on that CD...

Love these guys all - also love great and near artists of the '00s and '10s - mostly thanks to hearing them on RP
